1774WRCAM35113APhiladelphia: Printed by John Dunlap 1774. x2411pp. 12mo. Modern three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Minor foxing and toning. Very good. The "gentleman of foreign extraction" was actually Jacob Duche a notorious Philadelphia Loyalist distinguished for having been appointed Chaplain of the Continental Congress and then turning the tables on his fellow revolutionaries by predicting their defeat and urging the recall of the Declaration of Independence. He was cursed as a traitor and took refuge in England in 1777. The letters contained herein relate mostly to describing prominent Philadelphia residents and institutions. The author gives an account of the Quakers and writes favorably of Philadelphia and of America in general. His ingenious pseudonym "Tamoc Caspipina" is an acronym derived from his position of "The Assistant Minister of Christ's Church and St. Peter's in Philadelphia in North America." There exists another Philadelphia issue of this work printed the same year as the present one by Robert Bell. BRINLEY SALE 3135. HILDEBURN 3008. EVANS 13259. SABIN 21055 ref. DAB V pp.476-77.

Provenance: Henry Stevens of Vermont bookplate and catalogue clipping; General Theological Seminary blindstamp bookplate. First British edition. 4 iv 23 1pp. 8vo. Revolutionary-era sermon dedicated to George Washington in which Duché urges the people of Philadelphia to stand fast despite the unnaturalness of being in conflict with their fellow British subjects. "We venerate the Parent Land from whence our progenitors came.But if we are to judge from the late ungenerous and ill-digested plans of policy which have been adopted by those whom she hath entrusted with the powers of Administration we cannot but think that they began to be jealous of our rising glory and from an ill-grounded apprehension of our aiming at independency were desirous of checking our growth." <br /> <br /> Jacob Duché 1737-98 was born in Philadelphia and educated there before studying at Cambridge University. He returned to Philadelphia and eventually became rector of Christ Church. His early zeal for the revolutionary cause was such that he was appointed chaplain to the Continental Congress. After the Declaration of Independence and the capture of Philadelphia by General Howe Duché had a change of heart and wrote George Washington asking him to urge Congress to recall the Declaration and negotiate a peace. He was branded a traitor by his former followers and went into exile in Great Britain before returning to his beloved Philadelphia in 1792 to live out his final years. <br /> <br /> This sermon first published in Philadelphia in 1775 the same year as this first British edition.

1770ABC_45705Amsterdam 1770. Disbound. Folio ca. 26 x 41 cm. Negotiation contract dated 1770 signed by the director Daniel Changuion and his commissioners Jan Wouter Valkenier and Cornelis Jacob van der Lyn for an obligation of 1000 gulden for plantations in Rio Essequebo and Rio Demmerary. Essequebo and Demerary which was part of Essequebo was a Dutch colony from 1616 to 1814 and was part of the colonies which were also known as Dutch Guiana. Also Surinam which is much more known as Dutch colony in South America was part of this so-called Dutch Guiana. Dutch Guiana should not be seen as a formal entity but as a geographical indication for the Dutch colonial area. The sovereignity of the different colonies was varying: Essequebo and Demerary were reigned by the Dutch WIC which were at that moment in their second period and at that time focusing on slave trade from Africa to the Americas amongst other activities.Nevertheless this obligation act reflects the highly optimistic zeitgeist of 1770 when the investments and obligations in the Dutch colonial plantations kept growing. Therefore this negotiation contract can be seen as an important document for the Dutch economical and colonial history.With an owner's inscription in the right upper corner of the first page and a manuscript annotation on the last page: Van 3. April 1793 betaald. 6 P. interest in 10 Coup: af gegeven tot Anno 1803 Infl:.

A two-volume set of poetic miscellanies predominantly of the works of Matthew Prior 1664�1721 but with a curious amatory section to the end of volume two. Prior was a poet statesman and Tory ally to Robert Harley and the Scriblerians. His biographer states that his primary interests were 'women collecting friends a country estate and writing.' He was 'arguably the most important poet writing in English between the death of Dryden 1700 and the poetic majority of Pope in 1712'. He proved a continually popular entry in miscellanies a form of publication which gathered together various works sometimes on a theme. This set is a rather curious miscellany while dominated by Prior's works approximately the final third of volume 2 consists of 'Original Poems and Translations by Various Hands' - a deliberately vague title to a truly varied selection of poetry. A reader's interest may have been piqued by the first poem in the section Hildebrand Jacob's amatory verse on female auto-eroticism 'The Curious Maid' often misattributed to Prior which is accompanied by an engraved plate of a woman using a mirror to peek under her own skirts. What follows are a series of amatory bawdy and controversial works many laden with innuendo as in 'The Silent Flute: Or the Members Speech to their Soveraign' sic. while others use the tried-and-true guise of classical translation to depict scenes of 'heaving breasts and extended thighs'. Other poems in the collection are on less lurid but still interesting topics: Bedlam snuff marriage politics and the manners of the day. The title rather overstates the 'original' nature of the works: they mostly appear to be printed from earlier sources but their gathering together here nonetheless places these poems in new contexts. Miscellanies were an important venue for erotic amatory and controversial works indeed much of John Wilmot Earl of Rochester's poetry was first published in miscellanies by Edmund Curll. This set appears to be scarce with all the plates and represents an interesting combination of respectable mainstream and clandestine verse. ESTC T75658. ODNB. London; Printed for J. and R.
