"It is not because the style or the matter of Mr. Boaden's Critical Examination of the Shakespeare MSS. appears to possess any intrinsic merit that it is made the subject of consideration in the following pages. Much less is this slight attempt dictated by any apprehension that the authenticity of those MSS. will be materially affected either by the arguments of such an examiner or the detection of his sophistry. But when an individual pretends to direct the taste of the public when relying on the fancied ingenuity and importance of his criticism he attempts to depreciate real merit it becomes at least necessary to examine the purity of his motives and the consistency of his conduct.

177969261Dublin: Printed for S. Price et al 1779. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Having served in a Massachusetts regiment during the French and Indian Wars Carver was sent in 1766 by Robert Rogers then governor of Mackinac to map the main rivers of Wisconsin and Minnesota in preparation for an expedition to search for an overland Northwest Passage. He traveled the Fox-Wisconsin route then up the Mississipii and Minnesota rivers to a point west of the Falls of St. Anthony where he wintered with the Sioux Indians. In 1767 he joined the party sent by Rogers to find a route to the Pacific. They traveled as far as Grand Portage on Lake Superior when they were forced to turn back for lack of supplies. This account based on his journal includes vivid descriptions of the Wisconsin and Minnesota territories Indian life and customs and a short treatise on tobacco. It was tremendously popular in both America and Europe and is thought to be the first work to mention a large mountain range to the west presumably the Rocky Mountains. Two copper plates. Octavo. The period calf binding has been expertly rebacked with a new brown leather spine and modern endpapers. The contents are a trifle toned with some occasional mild soiling and smudging.

Woodcut vignette to title-page. With the ex-libris of the notes Danish book collector K.F. Plesner to inside of front board. <br/><br/><em>Rare first edition of this interesting anonymously written continuation of Voltaire's Candide which wraps up the adventures of the hero. "Turning his back on both Voltarian satire and scepticism the novelist proposes a moralistic fable - the focal point of which is a rehabilitation of Leibniz's Theory of Optimism. The main body of the novel tells the story of Candide and his new wife the noble Zénoïde in their sumptuous Copenhagen townhouse. Before achieving this happy state however the couple endures various trials and tribulations reminiscent of the newly minted gothic genre. "Candide au Dannemarc" also features a satirical portrait of Jean-Jacques Rousseau." Éduard M. Langille from the introduction to the new edition of "Candide au Dannemarc" edited by him. Voltaire's "Candide" had inspired a sequel that appeared in 1760 which is attributed to Charles-Claude-Florent de Campigneulles but which might be by Henri-Joseph du Laurens. The present work is a direct continuation of that sequel although it ignores the happy ending of the previous work but evidently from the preface it is not written by the same author. It has still not been determined who the actual author is.The part on Rousseau pp. 148-167 in the present work has become quite famous portraying him satirically as trying to make a living in Copenhagen from copying music while plotting to escape to America. The novel ends with Candide leaving Denmark to be the Danish ambassador in Russia.A secoond edition appeared in 1769. </em> paperback
