The original paper boards binding has perished and should be sometimereplaced. John Horne (1736-1812), later known as John Horne Tooke began his celebrity when he became an enthusiastic partisan of Wilkes in 1768. They made a good pair. Horne loved battles of wits and legal maneuvering, and he sympathized with every cause for liberty, including the French Revolution, and the independence of the American Colonies. Wilkes and Horne later came to bitter disagreement and fought a war of 'Letters'. The redoubtable Junius entered the controversy on Wilkes's side. Horne retorted vigorously, and proved the most successful critic of that famous agitator. A friend of Horne's, William Tooke, lived in the charming town of Purley, and it was he who persuaded John Horne, by then a famous political agitator, to add the name of Tooke to his (as a mutual honor after Horne had successfully fought an Enclosure Act which would have adversely affected Tooke's Purley property). After John Horne Tooke wrote 'The Diversions of Purley' it was apparent that he wanted to be heir to at least half of his Tooke's fortune; but thiswas not to be. This edition of discursive and eccentric linguistic essays,edited and printed by Richard Taylor (1781-1858), is considered the best version of 'The Diversions of Purley'. W151 R

pp. viii, 700, (4) [Publisher's advertisement] + Nine engraved plates (foxed). 8vo. Original full leather binding, boards almost detached. Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany (1763-1827), was the second son of George III and Queen Charlotte. His career at court, in the House of Lords, and in the military makes fascinating reading, but it is a great controversy and scandal that most concerns us here. He had become entangled with a handsome adventuress, Mary Anne Clarke (1776-1852). The precise facts of Mary's early love life and adventures are open to speculation. It is certain that in 1803, under the name of Mrs. Clarke, she took a great house in Gloucester Place and began to entertain sumptuously, and that rumor from the first coupled her name with that of the Duke of York. She rushed into the wildest extravagances; she kept ten horses and twenty servants, including three men professed as 'cooks'; she ate off the plate which had belonged to the Duc de Berri, and her wineglasses cost two guineas each. The Duke of York had promised her 1,000 L a month, but it was very irregularly paid. She was soon much pressed by creditors, and there is no doubt that in order to get money she promised to use her influence with the Duke of York. The Duke was at that time commander-in-chief, and had enormous patronage at his disposal, and as he was known to be an easy-going man, it was believed by those about her that he would do whatever she wished. For the promise of her influence she received various sums of money, especially from officers in the army, and the matter came public knowledge at last. The man who brought up the question in the House of Commons in 1809, Colonel Gwillym Lloyd Wardle, was probably no better than herself. He brought eight charges against the Duke for wrong use of his military patronage, and won for himself a short season of popularity. But the charges were found not proven against the Duke, though there was no doubt Mrs. Clarke had received money for her influence with him, and her beauty and courage, and even the sauciness with which she stood her long examination at the bar of the House, won her many admirers. The result of the investigation was that the Duke resigned his post of commander-in-chief, to which, however, he returned in two years, and that he broke off his connection with Mrs. Clarke. This scandalous case raised a cloud of pamphlets, some of which are very amusing, and most of them full of falsehoods. Later in 1809 Colonel Wardle prosecuted Mrs. Clarke and two pamphleteers, F. and D. Wright, for libeling him, and after a trial, which did not resound to his credit, the prisoners were all found "not guilty". Mrs. Clarke next proposed to publish the letters she had received from her princely lover. This had to be stopped at all risks, and Sir Herbert Taylor bought up the letters, and offered Mrs. Clarke 7,000 L. down and a pension of 400 L. a year, and for this consideration the printed edition was destroyed, with the exception of one copy deposited at Drummond's bank. Her next publication, "A Letter to the Right Hon. William Fitzgerald," brought her into trouble, and she was condemned in 1813 to nine months' imprisonment for libel. She then settled down and devoted herself to the education of her daughters, who all married well. After 1815 she removed to Paris, where she was still sought after by the numerous admirers of her wit, to listen to her scandals of old days. Especially attentive to her was the Marquis of Londonderry. She died at Boulogne, at 76 years of age. - Paraphrased from the DNB. W141

Minories, London, 1935. Grande carta telata divisa in 18 riquadri e stampata in litografia in colore, cm 67 x 97 circa (il foglio), due rose dei venti, chiusa e quindi completa, astuccio in tela verde con plancetta in carta. La “Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson Ltd” si costituì nel 1904, quando tre società di pubblicazione di carte private si unirono. Ognuna di queste società londinesi ha una lunga storia che risale alla metà del XVIII secolo. James Imray e Son hanno pubblicato un ampio elenco di grafici e libri di pilotaggio. R. H. Laurie and Sons ha pubblicato grafici per la Compagnia delle Indie Orientali. Norie e Wilson, fondate da J. W. Norie, le cui tabelle nautiche sono ancora fornite ai navigatori di tutto il mondo, hanno prodotto grafici e libri sulla navigazione e venduto strumenti nautici. Fino al 1939 la sede era nella City di Londra, dove per lungo tempo i cartografi producevano carte da incisioni su lastre di rame fornite ai marinai di tutto il mondo. Per oltre un secolo la " Blueback Charts" è stata la prima scelta di molte compagnie di navigazione. Oggi, con sede a St. Ives nel Cambridgeshire, i grafici Imray sono prodotti digitalmente per edizioni stampate ed elettroniche, e le loro carte nautiche e i loro diagrammi cartacei sono considerati dalla comunità velica come i più completi disponibili, e vengono affiacati da un elenco crescente di pubblicazioni elettroniche e libri pilota di alta qualità. Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson Ltd è membro della British Marine Federation e della British Cartographic Society. Patina di sporco e difetti all'astuccio, ingillimento e foxing alla tela, carta con ordinari segni del tempo (difetti visbili tra le giunture dei quadri) ma in vivace coloritura, nell'insieme in più che accettabile stato.
