174289655London: J. Roberts 1742. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Fair. 80 pages. Some page foxing noted. Some moisture staining around edges at early pages. John Hervey 2nd Baron Hervey PC 13 October 1696 – 5 August 1743 was an English courtier and political writer. Heir to the Earl of Bristol he obtained the key patronage of Walpole and was involved in many court intrigues and literary quarrels being apparently caricatured by Pope and Fielding. His memoirs of the early reign of George II were too revealing to be published in his time and did not appear for more than a century. In 1725 he was elected M.P. for Bury St Edmunds. Hervey had been hesitating between William Pulteney afterwards earl of Bath and Robert Walpole but in 1730 he definitely took sides with Walpole of whom he was thenceforward a faithful adherent. He was able to render valuable service to Walpole from his influence with the Queen. Through him the minister governed Queen Caroline and indirectly George II. Hervey was vice-chamberlain in the royal household and a member of the Privy Council. In 1733 he was called to the House of Lords by writ of acceleration in his father's Barony. After the fall of Sir Robert Walpole he was dismissed July 1742 from his office. An excellent political pamphlet Miscellaneous Thoughts on the present Posture of Foreign and Domestic Affairs shows that he still retained his mental vigor. He predeceased his father but three of his sons became successively Earls of Bristol. Miscellaneous thoughts on the present posture both of our foreign and domestic affairs: humbly offer'd to the consideration of the Parliament and the people. Author: John Hervey.

1732GEN2-D-1London: J Roberts 1732. Cloth. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. An interesting and scarce text reviewing George Berkeley's text. The work is a letter whereby an English clergyman is writing to his London friend on his views of Alciphron or The Minute Philosopher. This is the second edition of this text. The Minute Philosopher is a philosophical dialogue by Irish philosopher George Berkeley. In this work he combats the arguments of the free-thinkers such as Mandeville and Shaftesbury against the Christian religion. The work was first published in 1732 the same year that this review was published. Although there is not an author attributed to the title page it was later known that the title was written by John Hervey or 2nd Baron Hervey of Ickworth. John Hervey was an English courtier political writer and memoirist. He was known for writing very brutally frank works such as his memoirs of the court of George II where he gave a very unflattering account of the King and Frederick Prince of Wales.

Hervey 1714-1758. "While in Devonshire he planned and probably began his ÔMeditations among the Tombs.Õ An excursion to Kilkhampton from Bideford is said to have been the occasion of his laying the scene of the ÔMeditationsÕ among the tombs of that place.Hervey's writings were for a long time exceedingly popular. His first work was entitled ÔMeditations and Contemplations.Õ The first volume containing ÔMeditations among the TombsÕ ÔReflections on a Flower GardenÕ and ÔA Descant upon CreationÕ was published in February 1745-6 and the second containing ÔContemplations on the NightÕ ÔContemplations on the Starry HeavensÕ and a ÔWinter PieceÕ appeared in 1747. These volumes are filled with truisms expressed in the most inflated language but were admired by educated persons and even superseded to a great extent such a powerful work as Law's ÔSerious Call.Õ The explanation may in part be found in Hervey's sympathy with the principles of the evangelical revival and partly in a true appreciation of the beauties of nature very rare in his time. If he had condescended to write plain English many of his descriptions would have been pleasing. " -DNB.ESTC lists only one copy of this edition. ESTC N67119 Only 1 copy listed.
