Seller's Description:
None. Good. A very scarce first edition of the eccentric bookseller John Dunton's final work, being a response to Sir Robert Walpole's 'Short History of Parliament'. Sir Robert Walpole was a British statesman, who is regarded as the de facto first Prime Minister of Great Britain. This work is John Dunton's response to his 'Short History of Parliament. ' Rebound in a paper wrap. Written by John Dunton, English bookseller and author. Dunton founded the successful 'The Athenian Gazette' otherwise known as 'Casuistical Mercury' which was the first popular periodical in England with the longevity of seven years in print. Readers would send their queries on any topic which were answered by the 'Athenian Society', a club purported to be learned men who met at Smith's Coffee House. The 'Athenian Society' comprised of Dunton, Wesley and Richard Sault. Dunton made great contributions to the Whig propaganda of his time and his eccentricity and experimentation in the literary form formed quite the legacy. Rebound in a paper wrap. Externally sound. Rubbing to the spine, resulting in severe loss. Bumping to the extremities. Small loss to the head of the front wrap at the joint. Pencil mark to the front wrap. Small tidemark to the front wrap. Tidemark also to the rear wrap to the head. Crease to the front board, to the tail. Internally firmly bound. Pages are agetoned with scattered spotting.
