Manuscript poem attacking Walpole's conciliatory policies against Spain. Begins by proposing a copper plate showing 'three English Saylors' drawing a Spanish dustcard, the British lion rearing up to attack but 'Sir R. W.le' pulling him back by the tail. 12 verses of 9 lines each, presenting the government as kow- towing to and appeasing 'Don Diego'. Mentions 'Hosier the brave', Admiral Francis Hosier, who as Vice Admiral at the blockade of Porto Bello in 1726 was ordered not to fight the Spanish and take the port: 'When our Fleets were equipped you must certainly know/By him they were hindred from striking a blow/Thus Hosier the brave/Was sent to his grave/On an Errand that better had fitted a slave'. On four sides folio, in a neat hand, with some amendments. The second page has some wear and splits which have been repaired with archival tape. A strip of paper has been torn away, approx. 4" long, resulting in loss of the last word in six lines. Some very small edge tears. --- Please e-mail for one of my FREE CATALOGUES which include GENERAL [ Manuscripts, Maps, Ephemera, Views, etc., etc. ] ---.
Unbound. Condition: Good+. First Edition. Single sided printed broadside, approximately 175mm x 220mm in size, n.d. c.1820? Quite bright and clean. The full title is 'Wanted Immediately, Many Thousands, to Pay Off Old Scores and New Ones. For Which Purpose an Auction Will be Held of All That Inn Famous Concern, Situate in Bampfylde-Lane, at the Sign of the Great Cann, in the Parish of Spreyton, for Sale of the Undermentioned Live and Dead Stock'. The printer is probably Thomas Flindell fl. 1812-1824 (see BBTI). Relating mainly to local politicians ('Bampfylde-Lane' presumably relates to Sir Charles Warwick Bampfylde, an Exeter MP between 1796 and 1812), there is also a mention of 'a large lot of White Hats on dirty poles', which presumably relates to Henry Hunt who was famous for wearing a white hat. The individual disguised as, 'One Old Poltimore [a village in Devon] Cock, without spurs, having Chicken by various Hens', remains unknown to this cataloguer Size: 8vo. Broadside.

Bute councils peace and Lord Chatham calls for war with France and Spain over the seizure of the Falkland Islands. Images include: John Stuart, Earl of Bute, as a boot; William Pitt, Earl Chatham; George III, King of England, as Janus. (Taken from JCB library description). Underneath the image of Lord Chatham is written " My Voice is for War Lord Chatham, cries War, Glorius War as the Public Voice Replies: To Whom a Muckle Wight Replies: Hoot Ye Geefe Ah Haud Yu'r Cackling -Pri Thee Lets Ha Peece, Anon. Normalized date of 1770. NF overall. Minor foxing to lower front edge, with small faint stain to upper right hand quadrant, else a sharp copy of a rare British political cartoon.
"Sheets" ; 37 x 24 cm.Ten pages printed on a total of the six leaves of three folio bifoliums (leaf dimensions roughly 40.5 x 25 cm). The first part, apparently intended to fold around the others, is unpaginated, and printed on the recto of the first leaf and the verso of the last leaf of the bifolium. Each page consists of a list, divided into three columns of small print, giving details of the vote, with the names of the members, their constituencies, and a key revealing biographical information (e.g. 'Privy-Counsellors' [sic] and 'for and against Maintaining the Hessian Troops'). The first section is aged and with several closed tears, and with some loss resulting in damage to three words. The second and third sections are in better condition, though creased and on aged paper, and stitched together and paginated [3]-10. Pp.[3]-6 consist of the section entitled 'The Lords Protest', reporting a debate on the Bill in the House of Lords on 23 February 1732. Pp.[7]-10 carry the poem, with pp.9-10 consisting of 'Britannia Excisa: Britain Excis'd. Part II. Tune of, Packington's Pound.' At the head of p.[7] is a sensational engraving (11.5 x 16.5 cm) of a five-headed monster pulling a coach in which a figure (Walpole) sits complacently. The monster, representing the bill, flings goods this way and that with its mouths, while two figures on foot run for cover. The first part of the poem begins 'Folks talk of Supplies | To be rais'd by Excise, | Old Caleb is bloodily nettl'd;'. The first stanza of the second part reads 'Ye Knaves and ye Fools, ye Maids, Widows and Wives, | Come cast away Care, and rejoice all your Lives; | For since England was England, I dare boldly say, | There ne'er was such Cause for a Thanksgiving Day; | For if we're but wise, | And vote for the Excise, | Sir Blue-S--ing [Walpole, 'Sir Blue String', alluding to the ribbon of his Order of the Garter] declares (as you know he ne'er lies!) | He'll dismiss the whole Custom-House rascally Crew, | And fix in each Town an Excise-man or two.' Excessively scarce: the copies on COPAC consisting of electronic reproductions of the British Library copy. See Image of first folio page, "An Exact List [.]".

Engraving with hand-coloring, 14 x 8 3/4 inches. Minor soiling. Color quite bright and fresh. Very good. A satire against French Cardinal Fleury, Chief Minister to Louis XV, published during the frenzy of celebrations over Admiral Vernon's victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Porto Bello - an enthusiasm which the Cardinal apparently did not share. Fleury was an ally of Robert Walpole, whose power was in decline and had reluctantly agreed to hostilities with Spain. Fleury is seen here seated, reaching out toward a medallion of Admiral Vernon and holding a scroll which reads, "His iron will get ye better of my gold" and "G-d, he'll take all our acquisitions in America." On the wall behind him are several small crude illustrations, one of which appears to be a portly Walpole hanging from a gallows above the slogan, "No matter if he is longer than ye gallows." A head sits atop a pole, perhaps alluding to the fact that many people would be pleased to see Walpole's head positioned thus. Engraved by George Bickham. Only one copy located in OCLC, at Northwestern University. BRITISH LIBRARY CATALOG 2454. OCLC 43946235.

Engraving, 10 x 15 inches (plate mark) on a sheet 13 1/2 x 17 3/4 inches. Very minor soiling. Fine. Matted. This cartoon shows a wealthy Dutch merchant at center, surrounded by several artisans and tradespeople, all gathered around a trunk full of money bags. The central merchant figure empties coins into the apron of an artisan, while he holds up an unfriendly and dismissive hand toward a group of foreign nationals with bonds and treaties of alliance - Great Britain, France, and possibly America, are all represented. To the left, a man is being fitted with "Oeconomische Brillen" or "economic glasses," a reference to the Dutch ability to see profit even in war. Behind the central figures gathered around the money chest, a woman with a spear, possibly the figure of Britannia, leads a column of men. In the foreground, the Dutch lion attacks England, in the form of a dog, upon which stands an angry rooster, symbolizing France. In the background, a temple containing Liberty is being toppled while various virtues float above it. In the background is a fleet of ships, all flying the Dutch flag, and Mercury - representing commerce - flies over them. The print is a warning against Dutch investments in British securities, on both economic and political grounds. A fine clean copy, with wide margins beyond the platemark. OCLC locates a copy at the University of Minnesota; other copies located at the American Antiquarian Society, Colonial Williamsburg, and the British Library. A lovely copy of a scarce print.
