1626182961London: Francis Williams 1626. A remarkable piece of colonial propaganda and one of the earliest books concerned with America First edition published to promote Vaughan's Newfoundland settlement. This fanciful work "draws a parallel between the mission conducted by Jason and his fellow Argonauts to win the golden fleece and the opportunities offered to colonists especially Orpheus junior's 'countreymen of Wales' in Newfoundland" ODNB. William Vaughan 1577-1641 was concerned about the poor economic conditions in Wales and became interested in colonization as a means of improving standards of living. In 1616 he purchased a portion of the Avalon Peninsula and the following year dispatched a few ill-prepared colonists. In honour of its Welsh origin the colony was named Cambriol. Hiring the English mariner Richard Whitbourne in 1618 and as governor Vaughan hoped to attract more colonists: "Whitbourne did his best to reorganize the colony by moving it to a better location but at the same time had to deal with a piratical attack on one of his ships from deserters of the Guiana fleet of Sir Walter Raleigh" Howgego. The colony collapsed in 1619. His attempts to promote it continued throughout the 1620s. Wishing "to obtain more settlers he wrote this allegory in praise of his colony in which truth and fiction are mixed to such an extent that the reader of the present day can hardly separate the one from the other" Church. The map of Newfoundland by Captain John Mason here in facsimile is very rarely found with the book. Small quarto 180 x 134 mm in 3 parts pp. 28 150 106 96 with pagination errors as issued.

1865022571New York: Carleton 1865. FIRST EDITION. Original dark green cloth hardcover. Moderate wear with gilt gilt on the spine faded. Previous owner's name on the front endpaper. This contains political satire & humor of "The Orpheus C. Kerr Office Seeker". Actually by Robert Henry Newell. Overall in GOOD condition. Photos available upon request. Robert Henry Newell December 13 1836 July 1901 was a popular 19th century American humorist. During the U.S. Civil War Newell wrote a series of satirical articles using the pseudonym Orpheus C. Kerr commenting on the war and contemporary society. His articles appeared weekly in the New York Sunday Mercury where he was the literary editor until 1862 and were published in a series of books. Among other newspapers he worked at from 1869-74 he wrote for the New York World. From ~1862-65 he was married to famous actress Adah Isaacs Menken. The name "Orpheus C. Kerr" was a play on the term "office seeker". At the time political offices were seen as plums involving relatively little work and regular pay and were used by political parties as rewards for faithful party workers. During the war The Orpheus C. Kerr Papers was widely read and Newell enjoyed great popularity. He was one of the favorite humorists of Abraham Lincoln. When General Montgomery C. Meigs admitted that he had never heard of Orpheus C. Kerr or his Papers Lincoln responded "anyone who has not read them is a heathen.". First Edition. Full Cloth.
