1779ref. 28070London: G. Kearsly 1779. Fifth edition improved and corrected with upwards of 50 additional illustrations and explanatory remarks. 4to pp. 6 5-56. Bound without the half-title in new boards and end papers small paper repair at the bottom of the title-page. A fine clean copy. The British Mueum attributes this to Shute Barrington the Bishop of Landaff; however the NYPL copy has a MSS note suggesting the author is Charles Fox a more likely candidate. Not in Halkett and Lainge. The lady president of this "mock meeting " is Aa BAss Cs late Ma ss of Cn. known as AmeIia Baroness Conyers Late Marchioness of Carmarthen who eloped from her husband with a John Byron who with his second wife was the parent of Lord Byron. Parliament granted her husband a divorce in May 1779. In reading through the Parliamentary debates for 1779 we find a dismayed Bishop introducing a bill to discourage adultery: i.e. attempting to prevent the adulterer read woman from marrying her lover. Citing the increase in the number of divorces in this recent reign the Bishop calls upon the Parliament to punish such behavior before the entire social fabric unravels. During the discussion in the House of Commons Charles Fox vehemently opposes this bill calling it "unequal unjust and tyrannical." In this marvelous scathing tract the titled ladies discuss their marriages perceptions of their lords and power and in the final vote recollecting an incident from Don Quixote decide to toss the Bishop about in a blanket. It seems highly unlikely that the conservative Bishop would have had such a laugh at his own expense. On a more serious note this is an important look at the state of marriage and divorce during the late 18th century in England. G. Kearsly unknown books
