1782263934London: J. Stockale; R. Faulder 1782. First Edition. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Ritson's first book in which he attacks Thomas Warton's History of English Poetry in such vitriolic tones -- Warton is a preternder a cheater and a liar -- as to cause quite a contretemps in late 18th century English literary circles. One assumes this actually pleased Ritson as he went on the next year to attack Samuel Johnson and George Steevens. Eventually Ritson went complete mad barricading himself in his rooms at Gray's Inn and setting fire to a pile of manuscripts. In an attractive later binding in red half-goat over marbled board with raised bands. We assume the binder was charged with binding a group of different books to a uniform size -- the title page is trimmed and mounted and all the other leaves are folded neatly to fit the bottom edge and then the leading edge over it. Rather astonishing actually. Very Good binding. J. Stockale; R. Faulder unknown books

He is most notable for publishing the Historia de los descubrimientos de Nueva Espana an account of his travels in the New World. Obregón was born the son of an encomendera in the Spanish colony of New Spain. At the age of 19 Obregón joined up with a Spanish expedition to California from which he returned with travel experience. In 1554 at the age of 20 he joined the expedition of Francisco de Ibarra to explore the frontiers of Spanish territory and to secure mineral resources. The expedition was a success founding several settlements and allowing the Spanish to colonize Zacatecas. Later in life Obregón published an account of his travels the Historia de los descubrimientos de Nueva Espana in which he described the landscape of northern Mexico. After cataloging his own life he continued to publish the accounts of other Spanish expeditions such as that of Antonio de Espejo --- wikipedia Wetzel Publishing Co. hardcover books
