Boyle,Charles, Earl of Orrery,
.
Dr Bentley's Dissertations On The Epistles of Phalaris
, And The Fables of Aesop, Examin'd By the Honourable Charles Boyle, Esq; ...The Second Edition.
London: For Thomas Bennet, 1698. 8vo. [A]4,B-T8,U4[-U4]. [10], 290, [4]pp. Full contemporary calf ruled and decorated in blind with banded spine. Some worm patches. Front hinge cracking. First free endpaper signed "Ri. Lybbe 1698." Fine copy in a unrestored contemporary binding. T.p. in red and black. Second Edition. Boyle, Charles, fourth earl of Orrery (1674-1731), politician and Jacobite conspirator.
"Boyle's abilities undoubtedly generated respect and led to his involvement in a famous episode, recalled in Swift's Battle of the Books, during the long-running controversy between the "ancients" of Christ Church and "moderns" led by the Cambridge classicist Richard Bentley. To showcase the talents of their young scholar, the dean of Christ Church, Henry Aldrich, had assigned Boyle to translate the Epistles of Phalaris, a collection of letters supposedly the work of a Sicilian dating from the fifth century BC. However, Boyle believed that his research on the Epistles (which, via a third party, required him to consult the collection at the king's library at St James's, Westminster) had been hindered by Bentley, the collection's custodian. His incomplete edition appeared in 1695, a year after his graduation, and contained a prefatory remark concerning Bentley's disobliging manner which proved the catalyst for the controversy. Embarrassed and insulted, within four years Bentley had produced two dissertations on the epistles which disproved Phalaris's authenticity; subsequent rejoinders to Bentley (principally Dr Bentley's Dissertation on the Epistles of Phalaris É examin'd, 1698), though attributed to Boyle, were almost certainly written by Atterbury and fellow Oxford ancients."

Banded spine with stamp decoration and gilt lettering. Red speckled edges. Browning. Engraved printer's device, elaborate head and tail pieces. Second edition.
Pack, Richardson (1682-1728), army officer and writer. "It was during the last nine years of his life that Pack's work began to be published. He admired the Roman elegiac poets, translating their poems, and three of their lives from the Latin of Cornelius Nepos: T. P. Atticus, Miltiades, and Cimon; he was too indolent to do more as he intended. The three lives appeared in his Miscellanies in Prose and Verse (1719); for the second set the same year he added two "essays on study and conversation" in letters to David Campbell. Both were printed at Dublin in 1726, and the year after his death his complete works appeared in one volume. Pack wrote a prologue to George Sewell's Tragedy of Sir Walter Raleigh and an epilogue to Thomas Southerne's Spartan Dame; Sewell responded with lines written on reading Pack's poems. He exchanged poems with Matthew Prior, and asked Prior to sit for his picture for him, and to ask Pope and Congreve to do the same."

Containing a Regular Account Of all Material Transactions And Occurences, Ecclesiastical, Civil, and Military, Relating to the English Affairs, From The Invasion of the Romans, to the present Time
. London: W. Mears, 1723. 8vo. [A]4, B-2F8. [8],422,[21],[5 ads]p. Contemp. panelled calf, gilt spine, hinges cracked, bookplate of Herbert McAneny, occ. foxing. T.p. in red and black, 4 full-page plates of portraits (many per page) by George Vertue. First Edition. Salmon, Thomas 1679-1767, historical and geographical writer, born at Meppershall and baptised there on 2 Feb. 1678-9, was son of Thomas Salmon (1648-1706) [q.v.], rector of Meppershall or Mepsall, Bedfordshire, by his wife Katherine, daughter of John Bradshaw [q.v.], the regicide. Nathanael Salmon [q.v.] was his elder brother. Cole says that although he was brought up to no learned profession, Ôyet he had no small turn for writing, as his many productions show, most of which were written when he resided at Cambridge, where at last he kept a coffee-house, but, not having sufficient custom, removed to LondonÕ (Addit. MS. 5880, f. 198 b). He informed Cole that he had been much at sea, and had resided in both the Indies for some time. He also travelled many years in Europe and elsewhere (The Universal Traveller, 1752, Introd.), and the observations he records in his works are largely the result of personal experience. In 1739-40 he accompanied Anson on his voyage round the world. [DNB]
This is the first edition of this useful work which was later expanded to two. Lowndes 2179.

Since 1949
American Heritage
has been the leading magazine of American history and culture. As historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. wrote, "
American Heritage
is everything a magazine of popular history should be - elegant, lively, informative, entertaining, and intelligent."
Over the last half century, the staff of American Heritage Publishing accumulated one of the largest and most comprehensive archives relating to American history and culture, with thousands of photographs, illustrations, engravings, and maps. The collections are especially deep in military and political history, but include materials in thousands of other subject areas such as the Old West, antique cars, aviation, film, and theatre.
