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. Blind stamp to the title page. Chip to the head of pages five and nine not affecting text. Otherwise just the odd spot. Very Good W Pepper unknown

Front cover present with partial title and price eighteen-pence. A contemporary wrote an interesting note on the front cover: "Very strong ag't Littleton and very / Little against Pitt in general / Exposing the pretended Patriots." According to Walpole in 1747 "I was re-chosen in the new Parliament for Kellington in Cornwall. About the same time was published a Letter to the Tories written as I then believed by Mr. George Lyttelton who with his family had come over to Mr. Pelham. As Mr. Lyttelton had been a great enemy of and writer against my father as as Mr. Pelham had used my father and his friends extremely ill and neglected the Whigs to court the Tories I published an answer to that piece and called it a Letter to the Whigs. It was a careless performance and written in five days. At the end of the year I wrote two more Letters to the Whigs but did not publish them till April the next year when they went through three editions immediately. I had intended to suppress them but some attacks being made by the Grenvilles on Lord Chief Justice Willes an intimate friend of my father. . .
