First edition. [4], cxiv, 153pp, [1]. Contemporary blind-stamped calf, contrasting gilt-tooled red morocco lettering-piece. Rubbed and marked, with surface wear to boards, spine slightly pitted. Very minimal touch of spotting to endpapers, otherwise internally clean and crisp. The first edition of a report recounting disputed parliamentary elections under James I by Sir John Glanville the younger (1586 â" 1661), English politician and Speaker of the House of Commons during the Short Parliament. A staunch Royalist during the Civil War, Glanville would be imprisoned in the Tower of London by Parliament for three years from 1645 to 1648. The extensive preface establishes the motive for the volume's eighteenth-century publication: 'in the Editor's judgement, these sheets contained much useful and general information on the subject of Controverted Elections, and that there never was such a time, in his opinion, when such kind of knowledge and information, was more likely to become of general utility to the public, than the present.' In the tumultuous political climate of 1775, amidst the outbreak of the American war, it seemed likely that Glanville's insight could prove valuable. ESTC T99928. Size: 8vo.…

Byron, known as "foul weather Jack" commanded a voyage round the world in the Dolphin from 1764-1766. He was later governor of Newfoundland and became an admiral in 1775." (HILL).

First edition, many times reprinted in subsequent decades. Goldsmith was commissioned by Tom Davies to produce this summary history, at the beginning of 1768, and was paid 250gns for the task. His preface's modesty is rich in historical irony: 'There are some subjects on which a writer must decline all attempts to acquire fame, satisfied with being obscurely useful'. In view of the achievement of Edward Gibbon, another member of The Club, beginning just seven years later, one may regard that as a classic error. Williams pp. 145-6.…
