Kartoniert / Broschiert. Zustand: New.

1p., 8vo. (roughly 27.5 x 18.5 cm). On a piece of watermarked laid paper. The present item is the original handbill reproduced on pp.41-44 of 'The Bath Contest: Being a Collection of all the Papers, Advertisements, &c. Published Before and Since The Death of Mr. Derrick, By the Candidates For the Office of Master of Ceremonies, And their Friends, Digested in Regular Order' (Bath: Archer and Cruttwell, 1769). It is scarce: no other copy being traced, either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. A frail survival, on aged, worn and creased paper, with loss at head and to left-hand margin. It has lost the top line of the two-line heading, consisting of 'To the Ladies and Gentlemen, who are yet uninflu-'. The only other part of the text lacking is the number 4 of the day of the month, in the bottom left-hand corner, leaving 'th April, 1769.' The initial paragraph is addressed to 'Ladies and Gentlemen', and this is followed by one addressed to 'Ladies', with the last four paragraphs addressed to 'Gentlemen'. The document begins: 'Ladies and Gentlemen, | Your Interests are united by the strong Hand of Nature. She hath given to both Sexes those Powers, which equally promote each other's Happiness.' It concludes: 'What a Scene for your Sex to appear in? Your Absence may shame them into Temper. A Room full of Men! What a ridiculous Sight! What Wretches should we be without You.' Note: Captain William Wade was appointed MC in 1769 (-1777).

First edition. With title page of volume II erroneously dated MDCCXII as called for by ESTC. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards, measuring 168 x 100mm and collating complete: [20], 338; [12], 324. A square copy with joints professionally renewed; some chipping to spine labels and gentle shelfwear to boards. Faint dampstaining to lower corner of contents in volume I and paper loss to upper corner of pages 203-204 affecting 9 lines each. Volume II overall clean, with long archivally reinforced tear to pages 131-132 and paper loss to lower corner of pages 171-172 with no text loss in either case. An exceptionally scarce fantastical travel narrative with erotic content, published by notorious Grub Street writer and demi-monde ally Samuel Derrick. ESTC locates only three copies at institutions (BL, Columbia, and UCLA) and of the three copies to appear in the modern auction record, the most recent was in 1941. The present is the only example on the market. In a 1763 review in The Critical Review or Annals of Literature (vol. 15), Samuel Derrick's Collection of Travels is derided as a book for "those who read merely for amusement, and care not for turning up the huge collection of voyages traveled by Purchas, Churchill, Astley, Harris &c" due to its "total neglect of dates, total want of maps, a strange perversion of names, a general lack of precision or accuracy." These same reviewers make a dismissive nod to how "the adventures of captain John Smith savour strongly of romance" and suggest that the work "does not seem to have been intended so much for serious reading as for pleasing the imagination," but they fail to grasp just how much this is the case. No matter how deeply Samuel Derrick sought to portray himself as a participant in London's intelligentsia, he was ultimately a Grub Street hack who "wrote to eat" and not from "any great artistic urge" (Rubenhold). Having learned early on that "hacks and whores shared much common ground," Derrick became not only a "gentleman defender" and friend to several of London's demi-monde, he also used their escapades as inspiration for his writing and his writing to promote their reputations and services. Such is the case with the present work, designed for stoking the reader's fantasies and for lining the author and publisher's pockets. Among "the period's richest funds of data, erotica and pornography permeated the culture.and the 18th century bookshop" (Pettit and Spedding). Works operating under the thin guises of travel, law, medicine, politics, history, or religion presented readers across genders with graphic depictions not only of cis-gendered and heterosexual encounters but even more often with scenes that cenered queer, polyamorous, and female pleasure. In the case of Collection of Travels, Derrick used preexisting popular travel narratives as the backdrop for his main work: depicting sexual behaviors common within London's sex trade but setting them within exotic locales. Within volume I, for example, his explorers encounter "the prostitution of the women of Camul, and their hospitable reception of strangers," "the common use of women" in Thebet, rites of "marriages of the people of Servia," and the "wives and concubines" of Constantinople including how they are valued, how virginity is tried, and how they are punished. The second volume builds on this, including such content as the "courtezans of Persia," the "women lewd" of Turkey, and "the usage of their wives" in Algiers. Given his own appreciation for the power of the sex workers in his own life -- notably Lucy Cooper, Kitty Fisher, and Charlotte Hayes -- he also includes a section on "the authority of the women in this country" of the Congo. One of Derrick's few stand-alone, multi-volume works to be published, and a rarity in the collecting areas of erotic literature and travel fiction. ESTC T135777. Not in the Register of Erotic Books.
