1745réf. AQ34893London: Printed by Thomas Baskett 1745. Single leaf broadside edges uncut. Primarily printed in black letter. Old horizontal and vertical folds very small central hole. Manuscript docket-title to verso. An entirely unrecorded broadside proclamation reprinting the official position on the distribution of prizes 'for taking Ships of WAR of the Enemy': an encapsulation on paper of the growth in Colonial privateers by the 1740s authorised by British government not only to attack French and Spanish shipping during the war of Jenkins' Ear but also entitled to a share in the prize monies resulting from seizures. The passing on 19 March 1740 of the Naval Prize Act officially titled An Act for the more effectual securing and encouraging the Trade of His Majesty's British Subjects to America; and for the Encouragement of Seamen to enter into His Majesty's Service led to a boom for American privateers. Privately financed ships of war carrying the official letters of marque privateers were responsible for almost 70% of all prizes in the American colonies during the 1740s; this proclamation explains the gradations of prize distribution for ships whether officially in the Royal Navy or not ranging from 3/8ths for the Captain down to an eighth divided equally amongst the junior officers down to the able seamen and swabbers. ESTC locates an earlier printing by Baskett of the same proclamation but not this 1745 edition which is similarly unrecorded in OCLC and COPAC. Not in ESTC c/f ESTC N44799 for the 1740 edition. Dimensions 400 x 500 mm. Printed by Thomas Baskett unknown

Sm. 8vo., Eleventh Edition, with engraved portrait frontispiece, 14 engraved plates and engraved chart, contemporary signatures on front endpapers; original brown diced cloth, upper board blocked in gilt and blind, backstrip blocked and lettered in gilt, primrose endpapers, expertly rebacked, a remarkably bright, clean, crisp copy in publisher's original pictorial binding. With 4pp publisher's catalogue bound in at end, and binder's ticket of Trickett & Son on rear paste-down. With a relevant postcard and cutting loosely inserted. First published in 1853, this is arguably the best mid-nineteenth century account of the aftermath of the mutiny. Its publication was stimulated by a resurrection of public interest in the BOUNTY saga following the visit to England in 1850 of the Pitcairn Pastor George Nobbs. The work includes considerable detail on the fate of the mutineers, their descendants and the present population; this edition benefits from 'additional intelligence respecting Pitcairn and the Islanders'. The Society continued to publish the work in various editions until the early years of the twentieth century. SCARCE IN ANY EARLY EDITION.
