1932002745New York: Farrar & Rinehart 1932. #619/1000 copies printed " for presentation to friends of the author and the publishers". SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on verso of front wrapper ""Autograph for Eugene L. Delafield Esq. by Hervey Allen". Delafield was a noted New York book collector 1907-2001 the bulk of whose collection now resides in the Yale Collection of American Literature at the Beinecke Library. Laid in is a 1 page letter signed with the initials "H.A." that reads- "One of the few remaining copies of my first book- newspaper reviews with the exception of the "Weakling" which was printed in El Paso and sold to the troops along the Mexican Border in 1916. As you remember I told you I destroyed perhaps foolishly a few copies that remained in my possession and have been able to get ahold of only one or two since then that turned up in an old trunk. I am not anxious to have this book known as it contains verse written when I was very immature." On the back of this letter in a different hand presumably Delafield's is "written circa 1925". Indeed very few copies of Allen's 1st book survive today and after a promising start as a poet Allen turned to fiction and became best known for his novel "Anthony Adverse" which became a huge best-seller and was made into a memorable movie winning 4 Oscars. .

THE WAR BETWEEN BOLINGBROKE AND WALPOLE. A sammelband of four pamphlets concerning Viscount Bolingbroke's efforts to undermine the Walpole administration. Having recently returned from exile and though allowed to purchase property Walpole denied Bolingbroke from restoration of his political rights wary that he would abuse them. He proved correct and soon Bolingbroke undertook a campaign to resume power.<br/><br/>A paper war commenced and Bolingbroke's organ of choice was The Craftsman "a journalistic venture which heralded the birth of a formidable opposition to Walpole and the beginnings of a propaganda campaign of sustained brilliance and of rare political sophistication. Edited by Nicholas Amhurst and printed by Richard Francklin The Craftsman attracted contributions from Bolingbroke Pulteney and other leading thinkers and writers in the opposition camp . During its period of greatest influence from 1729 to 1732 at least 8000 copies of each issue were distributed and probably upwards of 12000 copies in 1731 . The Craftsman aroused such public interest and so embarrassed the ministry that Walpole spent large sums subsidizing a pro-ministerial press to reply to it and to attack Bolingbroke and Pulteney in particular; and he had Francklin arrested on several occasions in an effort to silence it."<br/><br/>The accusations bled beyond the pages of serial publications into pamphlets such as these here with Baron John Hervey often writing in defense of the government:<br/><br/>1. Bolingbroke Viscount Henry St. John A Final Answer to the Remarks on the Craftsman's Vindication. Second issue reset from the first without the errata. London: R.Francklin 1731.<br/>2.
