Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Full leather hardback with gilt lettering down the spine. A few patches rubbed and worn but still showing well and holding firm. The red and black title-page is a little darkened and the lower right corner is chipped, slightly affecting the border and text; in addition the portrait frontispiece is missing; even so the contents are otherwise complete and very tidy, just age toned and tanned. Moreover, not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Neither are there any pen-marks or inscriptions, save the former owner's stamp and name at the endpaper: George H. Radford (very possibly the Liberal politician: Sir George Heynes Radford). Size: 8vo (143mm x 90mm); collation: pp. [6], 146. Thus a scarce book about the leader of the Nepalese revolt against Habsburg Spain, Masaniello, who died in 1647; and despite the title-page chip and lack of a frontispiece, still a very good copy indeed.

He led a mob of over 1,000 citizens and took over the City in this short lived seven-day uprising. Both parts of the history are contained in this volume and were originally published separately. A lot of old (mid-18th century) writing with ownership signatures of Hugh Jenkins, poems, doodles, etc. to endpapers; Mr. Jenkins apparently purchased the book already as an old book, for. he dated his notation of purchase place (Yarmouth). The populist uprising in Naples against the aristocracy was regarded as truly amazing: 'though it is a small volume, yet it contains as stupendous passages as ever happned on Earth since Discord first entered into the World.'.…
