About This Item
London: Printed by Mr. Webb, near St. Paul's, 1740. 24,9-16,33-34,[3],34-56, page 39, [1 blank] pp. Page 15 misnumbered '51,' as issued. Bound in later dark plain wrappers. Very Good.
ESTC records four variants, all determined by the craziness of the pagination. In all printings, the text is continuous. None of ESTC's records quite matches ours. The closest, ESTC T222817, tracks ours up to the last printed page, which ESTC notes as page '57' rather than our '39.'
"Relates in part to Spanish interference with the American trade" [Sabin], and the Duke's apparent support of Spanish interests. The pamphlet describes Spanish incursions upon British interests in the New World and Spain's disruption of British vessels. England asserted "That the Subjects of the Crown of Great-Britain have an undoubted Right to navigate in the American Seas, to and from any Part of His Majesty's Dominion; and for carrying on such Trade and Commerce, as they are justly intitled to in America."
Sabin 10227. Kress 4493.
