Some copies of the 3rd edition contain a frontis, but it apparently was not issued with the second. Charles Leslie was a celebrated non-juring divine. He distinguished himself in public religious controversy. When Ireland became disturbed in 1689, Leslie removed with his family to England, where he employed himself in writing political pamphlets (opposed to the existing government but zealous in support of the Church of England). About this time he entered into a controversy with the Quakers, said to have arisen from the circumstance of his lodging with a family of that persuasion. This family he converted. This is the first of the several treatises which he wrote against the Quakers. It was answered by George Whithead in a pamphlet entitled, "An Antidote to the Snake in the Grass." In this important Second Edition Mr. Leslie noticed this answer; but he was again assailed in a production called, 'Satan Dissolved from his Disguises of Light' which also appeared in 1696. To this, and several other attacks, Mr Leslie replied at great length in "A Defence of a book entitled the Snake in the Grass." This again provoked a host of answers, amongst which was one by the Quakers, entitled "A Switch for the Snake." To this Mr Leslie again replied in "A Second Defence, or the third and last part of the Snake in the Grass." Wing L1157; Smith, Anti-Quakeriana p. 267. Very Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 59.

Original yellow printed paper wraps. The advertisements are quite exceptional and cover a broad range of businesses (large and small) in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Please let us know if you are looking for a particular company or product. There are a few very curious illustrated ads showing croquet-like games. This first (and only?) edition was supposedly printed in 5,000 copies, but we can locate very few in American libraries today. ". the introduction of illustrations insures the book being carefully looked through, so that each advertisement is sure to be read; and instead of being thrown away, as is often the case with advertising books, it will be retained by those who receive it, that they might show it to their family and friends" - From the Preface of 'The Shakespearian Advertiser'. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Susanna Dallet is the daughter of a Flemish painter and wife to a philandering husband, living in the court of Henry VIII. When her husband is murdered, Susanna is suddenly left with a household to provide for and nothing to her name. Her days of anonymity are over when Susanna finds that guild rules preventing women from working do not apply at the king's court, and she manages to secure a position as a miniature-portrait painter. Before long, she has not only made a name for herself, she is close to those who surround Princess Mary. But even in this lofty company, Susanna is not safe. An old manuscript that she has inherited turns out to hold the keys to an age-old mystery, and the forces that claimed her husband are closing in. As danger looms, Susanna joins with Robert Ashton, secretary to Henry's cunning and ruthless adviser Archbishop Wolsey, and together they must fight a fearsome society in league with a demon. Book
