1731600P21London: W Pepper 1731. First edition. Disbound. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. An extremely scarce political pamphlet from 1731 written anonymously and regarded as attacking the Prime Minister Robert Walpole. The first and only edition of this work. Written anonymously and purtporting to be a speech given by 'The Grand Seignior to his Janizaries'. This work uses many forms of rhetoric to discuss war and the role of a 'Sovereign Judge' in a satirical manner. Walpole's own foreign policy was to avoid wars so that he could lower taxes. With a frontispiece of a Turkish infantryman. Walpole was the first British Prime Minister and held the position for twenty years. This pamphlet was published in 1731 and has been regarded by critics to be an attack on Walpole with the ESTC notes on this work support this view. Walpole had many enemies who were prominent in the literary scene such as John Gay Jonathan Swift Alexander Pope Henry Fielding and Samuel Johnson. With only one entry of this work in the ESTC. no. T106325. Pamphlets became a powerful source of strife in the seventeenth and eighteenth century with dozens being published about each any every political moral or social situation. They were often printed anonymously providing a sense of protecting for the person writing it. Disbound without both boards but with evidence of having been previously bound. Externally generally smart. Light bumping to the extremities. Small contemporary ink inscription to the head of first page. Internally firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned to the edges.

Bear in mind Bastille day was under a year later - July 14 1789. Hard Cover Parchment. Coverd in PVC plastic. This book apparently followed a companion volume on the Netherlands.
