* Slavery. Portrait of Alice, circa 1805, uncoloured mixed method portrait, 130 x 80 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:Alice is thought to have been the first black person born in Philadelphia and was the child of Barbadian slaves. She was alleged to have been born in 1686 and died in 1802. She was sent to work on Dunk's Ferry in Bucks County where she collected tolls and managed the service for around 40 years. Eventually, Alice became a famed oral historian and trusted source of information, visited by many to hear tales of her life in 18th-century Philadelphia. A lifelong worshipper at Christ Church Philadelphia, she was known for riding a galloping horse to church while in her nineties. Alice's life was recorded in Thomas Isiah's 'Memoirs of Remarkable Female Characters Ancient and Modern' published in 1804 and versions of her life story were published in the UK at the time of her death. Alice was never given her freedom and has since become an inspiring international symbol of survival. This portrait is based on an original painting sent to the UK from the United States and the surrounding vignettes represent different aspects of her life. The engraving is rare with only one other example discovered, held by the Barbados Museum and Historical Society.

Hill notes 'The preface to the Stockdale edition leads one to suppose that Johnson's was issued slightly earlier'. La Perouse was commissioned by King Louis XVI to expand on Cook's discoveries in the Pacific. "The narrative of the enterprising but ill-fated Perouse, is full of interest in all portions, but his relations of the peculiarities he observed in the natives of the north-west coast of North America, are especially valuable. The mysterious fate of this distinguished navigator has never been satisfactorily cleared up. The above account was transmitted from Botany Bay, after leaving this place the expedition was never heard of again." (Sabin).

At the start of the volume is a 4-page manuscript list of Nashe's works with notices of biographical accounts, written in a neat hand, probably by Robert Reeve, on laid paper with watermark of 'A. Smith'; a later manuscript note tipped in noting an account of Nashe's 2 plays published in the Retrospective Review for April 1828; this article copied in a neat contemporary hand and supplied on 3 part-folding pages at rear; a 4-page manuscript, in the same hand and on the same paper as the first list, giving a list of the volume's contents ('These have been long bound together in the same order'), and details of Nashe's works owned by the King's Library (24 items), the Marquis of Stafford (7 items), the Malone collection ('The Tragedie of Dido... by Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nash Gent 1594'), the Garrick collection (Summers Last Will and Testament), the British Museum (6 items as referenced by Beloe's Anecdotes) and a final note by Reeve that 'Nash also wrote a play called "The Isle of Dogs” turned from a comedie into a tragedie. But it does not appear to have been printed.'Provenance: Thomas Smyth (possibly Sir Thomas Smyth of Hill Hall, Essex, c. 1602-1668): early name inscription to second title; Robert Reeve (died 1840), attorney-at law in Lowestoft, Suffolk: ownership inscription to front pastedown: ‘Robert Reeve, Lowestoft’; J[eremiah] J[ames] Colman (1830-1898) and his son Robert James Colman (1861-1946), of the J. & J. Colman mustard business, Norwich, Norfolk: armorial bookplates to front pastedown and front free endpaper.An extraordinary, and possibly unique, sammelband of rare works by the legendary prose writer Thomas Nashe. The only comparable items identified are a handful of multi-pamphlet volumes offered at auction centred on John Lyly and the Marprelate controversy. This collection of seven works was apparently bound by the former owner Robert Reeve, circa 1820, who notes that the items had been together in this order long since before he owned them. The missing two leaves in the final work are supplied in printed ‘facsimile’ and appear to have been specially set by Reeve at the time of binding; as such these two leaves are probably unique. For more information concerning editions and issue points the standard reference is the 5-volume works edition edited by Ronald B. McKerrow, 1904-10, with extra information obtained from ESTC, STC and Pforzheimer.Thomas Nashe (or Nash) was an Elizabethan playwright, poet, satirist and pamphleteer. He is often considered the most brilliant and inventive prose writer of Elizabethan England. His subject range was wide as demonstrated in these seven works here. It is thought he collaborated with his friend Christopher Marlowe on Dido, Queen of Carthage, Ben Jonson on The Isle of Dogs (now lost) and Shakespeare on the Henry VI plays. In pamphlets such as Pierce Penniless he was involved in a defence of the Church of England. He was attracted to the Martin Marprelate controversy by his hatred of puritanism, being employed by the bishops to write against the works of fictional character Martin Marprelate. His lengthy and vicious quarrel with Gabriel Harvey was instrumental in defining English prose style and became so troubling that the authorities closed down the printing presses and issued a life ban on writing to both Harvey and Nash (1599).Nashes Lenten Stuffe (1599) was Nashe’s last work and written after he went on the run from the London authorities following the furore surrounding a performance of his and Ben Jonson’s Isle of Dogs (1597). Have with You to Saffron-Walden was a response to Gabriel Harvey during their lengthy feud. Pierce Penniless contains an attack on both Richard Harvey, the astrologer and the Marinist, who, as part of the Marprelate controversy, had been waging a pamphlet war attacking the episcopacy of the Anglican church. Strange Newes contains Nashe’s fierce response to Harvey’s demolition of the recently deceased writer, Robert Greene. In The Terrors of the Night Nash sceptically considers dreams, nightmares, and apparitions, which he considers born of superstition, melancholy or imagination. Pappe with a hatchet is now believed to have been written by John Lily, though its inclusion here leaves open the idea that Nashe may have had some involvement in it, and besides it is one of the pamphlets in the Marprelate controversy. The last item, Summer’s Last Will and Testament, is Nashe’s only extant solo-authored play, a comedy notable for breaking new ground in the development of English Renaissance drama.For the unabridged description with full details of each individual work please see the virtual catalogues and description on our website.
