16659438Printed for Samuel Speed at the Rainbow in Fleet-Street 1665. Sm. 4to. First and Sole Edition F2 torn at fore-margin with some loss of text some light age-staining; disbound sewed as issued uncut a fresh crisp copy. With the publisher's advertisement leaf at end. The work is dedicated by Henry Smith to Pollard himself. James Ley 1618-1665 third Earl of Marlborough and naval captain was grandson of his namesake the first Earl and notable barrister. By 1643 he had become a Royalist commander and two years later established a colony at Santa Cruz in the West Indies. He then commanded the East Indies squadron that received Bombay from the Portuguese in 1661 and was nominated Governor of Jamaica in 1664. Ley's 'pious letter' is dated 24 April 1665. It concludes with the phrase 'So prays old James near the coast of Holland' at sea during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. A marginal note in a neat contemporary hand states correctly 'the ship he was in Old James was his own name'. He died soon after 13 June 1665 aboard the same vessel. The Battle of Lowestoft fought on 13 June 1665 between the English fleet under James Duke of York and the United Provinces Dutch fleet under Jacob van Wassenaer remains the worst naval defeat in Dutch history. The author was killed in the 68-gun 'Old James' stationed in the Centre Division of the Duke of York's Red Squadron. Smith's compilation is nothing if not wide ranging. The other 'learned and honourable persons' include of the UK Arundel Bacon Bancroft Charles I Compton Coventry Donne Egerton Hatton Howard Leicester Mason Peito Pembroke Raleigh Selden Thomas Smith Somerset Stafford Usher Walsingham Wolsey Wotton; and others Aristotle Caracciolus Charles V Chrysostom Gondamar Grotius de Haro Heinsius Ignatius Irenaeus Junius Justin Martyr Mazarin Origen Plato Polycarp Richlieu Salmasius Seneca Socrates Solomon Tertullian. Significantly the publisher's advertisement leaf announces 'An excellent Preservative against Plague 2s. 6d. Per Paper sealed' together with 'Medela Pestilentiae an exact Method for curing that Epidemical Distemper' and 'Reflections on the Weekly Bills of Mortality for the Cities of London and Westminster'. EXTREMELY SCARCE. Printed for Samuel Speed at the Rainbow in Fleet-Street, unknown
