Add to basket12mo in sixes. xxiv, [25]-108pp, steel engraved portrait frontis. Modern cloth gilt backed paper boards. Light offset from frontis to title. The first edition of 'The Travels . ' was published in 1773 without the portrait and memoir. Murray, a great satirist, is probably best remembered for his 'Sermons to Asses'. A notable cont…ributor to the religious and political life of eighteenth century Newcastle, 'Travels of the Imagination' is his only extant biographical work. However Welford, who affords him an 8pp entry in 'Men of Mark', states that two manuscript items - 'A journey through Cumberland and the Lakes' and 'A journey to Glasgow' were lost. The greater part of this work deals with London but the early chapters feature the North-East. Murray has some pithy and cutting remarks to make about Durham, none with more bite than the following, "Durham would be a very fine place, were it not for the swarms of priests that are in it - [They] devour very extensive livings without being of any real service to the public. The common people are here very ignorant, and great profaners of the Sabbath-Day. It is customary for the idle people to play at the long bowl on the Sunday, when the weather is fair." (page 34). DISCOVER: BL, CUL. A variant Newcastle imprint is held at Durham and Oxford.

Contact seller5-star sellerTwo volumes, bound as one. Very Scarce First Edition, date of imprint from Adams./ Cf. Sabin 51505-51507. With the famous collection of 23 "much sought" after engraved portraits of important participants on both sides of the conflict (10 American and 13 British)and with a folding plan of Boston and Charlestown on which can be se…en the placement of British and American troops for the Battle of Bunker Hill. 8vo, rare in contemporarily binding, being marbled boards backed in brown calf, the spine with blind-ruled raised bands and a single red morocco label gilt lettered and tooled. 573, 576 pp. A very well preserved text, the important 23 engraved portraits all in fine order, academic notations and markings in a very early (likely 18th century) hand are common throughout the first 90 or pages and then far more scarce throughout, they appear editorial in nature, the rare contemporary binding still strong and usable and completely authentic though worn and mellowed, a simple binding which also attests to early academic ownership. VERY SCARCE FIRST EDITION OF MURRAY'S HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Clergyman James Murray had left little doubt as to which side his sympathies rested in his eloquent two volume history. His position was that the War should never have started, that the American colonists had been treated cruelly and unfairly. Murray's was one of the most significant British voices sympathetic to the American cause. Of great interest in Murray's IMPARTIAL HISTORY is the suite of engraved portraits, which were prepared especially for it. They include many of the most important figures of the war from both sides of the Atlantic. Included among which are Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock, Generals Howe, Clinton and Putnum, Benedict Arnold, Commodore Hopkins and George III. The work is, "much sought on account of its portraits. [which] are of much interest" - Sabin.
