64 p. 16 mo. Some leaves with the top margins too closely shaved. 160 mm. Disbound [removed]. Age stain. Scarce. ESTC T043734. OCLC shows only the example at the National Library of Scotland. A famous essay (satire) in opposition to the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748) which ended the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748). In Britain, George II and his ministers were seen by many as having conducted the war and the peace to the best advantage of Brunswick-Luneburg (of which George was Elector) rather than Britain. George and Britain did gain from the treaty in one respect: that one clause of it had finally compelled the French to recognize the Hanoverian succession to the British throne and expel the Jacobites from France. The ciphered name on the title and dedication are often taken to stand for Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). Here, in pencil, is identified the likely dedicatee - the military Commander, John Lindsay, twentieth Earl Crawford (1702-1749). The same pencil hand identifies the anonymous author as Henry Fielding. This is unlikely to be correct. W129. Small Box 8
