173389311London: W. Dickenson in Witch Street 1733. First Edition. Folio. 32.5cm. Disbound with slight residual crust of old calf to spine region. 18pp. Some old ink spots to title page which effectively comprises the front wrap strong and durable toning to the extremities of both outer wraps and a little internal thumbing otherwise clean and fresh woodcut head and tailpieces luxuriously wide margins. A very good long disbound example of a well-aimed piece of 18th century satire.<br /> <br /> A vastly Popean excoriating satire of the Whig government of the 1830's under Robert Walpole James Ralph William Stanhope as Secretary of State George Byng as First Lord of The Admiralty and a host of other aristocratic pillars of the British aristocratic system. Written in full flow as faux-Pope Whitehead with full reference to The Dunciad and wielding the righteous wrath of a breakfast table diplomat under full sail tears into the sitting government and bemoans with Pope how nothing has changed since the last crop of dunces. A successful part II was published in the same year and the two are often found bound together this copy comprises only part I. Whitehead's uncanny ability to ape Popean epic actually made him something of a living during the 1830's-40's allowing him to pen political and social satire like a Temu Alexander Pope but available at Witch Street prices. Foxon gives priority to this one which also contains 24 lines eliminated in the others.This was the poem that Whitehead sold for an advance of ten guineas provoking Johnson to demand the same for London in 1738.

1787LLL-0341-401Printed for J. Debrett opposite Burlington-House 1787-01-01. Leather Bound. Very Good. 1787 fourth edition 'Printed for J. Debrett opposite Burlington-House Piccadilly London 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches tall hardbound marbled boards over black cloth spine 4 50 pp. With a half-title. Minor rubbing to covers. Staining to half title page and slight foxing to title. Otherwise a very good copy - clean bright and unmarked - of an important eighteenth century political pamphlet. Reference: ESTC No. T82992. ~LLL~ A stinging rebuke to the lambasting in print of the Prince of Wales the future King George IV in a pamphlet entitled 'A Short Review of the Political State of Great Britain' which had been published anonymously in January 1787 by author Nathaniel William Wraxall 1751-1831 and which had attracted a great deal of attention and sales. Within a few days after publication of the 'court pamphlet' six editions each consisting of 1000 or 1500 copies were sold and the publisher Debrett which also issued this response estimated the total sales of the English edition it was also translated into French at 17000 copies. Authorship of this reply is sometimes attributed to Irish-born British politician and pamphleteer Sir Philip Francis the supposed author of the 'Letters of Junius' and the chief antagonist of Warren Hastings 1732-1818. Francis' accusations against Hastings led to the Impeachment of Warren Hastings by Parliament which has been described as 'probably the British Isles' most famous certainly the longest political trial.' In the introduction to Wraxall's posthumous memoirs editor Henry Wheatley comments 'Wraxall says that the Prince of Wales sent repeatedly to Debrett the publisher peremptorily demanding to know from him the name of the author and menacing him with prosecution for libel. If this was the case it seems probable that the secret of the authorship was well kept for a few years after Wraxall was on friendly terms with the Prince of Wales and it is scarcely probable that the Prince suspected the authorship of the pamphlet.
