Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. pp. viii, 296. 8vo in 4s. Workaday half calf, marbled boards, later binding. Tilte slightly browned. 1st edition. ODNB.This rather sensational volume went through seven editions, with many variations in the text, and deals with the clandestine love of James Hackman, a one-time army officer and Norfolk clergyman, for Martha Ray, the mistress of Lord Sandwich, who was shot by Hackman as she was leaving Covent Garden Theatre on 7 April 1779. Into this work Croft inserted a huge interpolation on Chatterton. Many years later this circumstance inflicted an indelible stain on Croft's reputation. In a letter inserted in the Monthly Magazine for November 1799 he was accused by Robert Southey of having obtained in 1778 Chatterton's letters from the boy's mother and sister under false pretences, of having published the letters without consent, and without awarding to the owners an adequate remuneration from the large profits he had himself made by their publication, and of having kept the originals for twenty-one years. To these charges Croft made a very unsatisfactory answer in the pages of the Gentleman's Magazine, which was subsequently published separately as Chatterton and love and madness: a letter from Denmark to Mr Nichols, editor of the Gentleman's Magazine, 1800.…

Both unbound, and stabbed as issued, and both on aged and chipped paper, but with the text clear and entire. Each issue with the title in an expansive calligraphic design. The full slug, at the bottom of the last page of both issues, reads: 'Printed and Published by ETHERINGTON, at No 25, opposite the South Door of St. Paul's (where Letters, post-paid, to the LITERARY FLY will be received). To be had also of all the Booksellers and news-carriers in Town and Country. | To be continued regularly every Saturday. [Price Fourpence.]' Issue 13 contains a letter 'To the Gentleman who drives the Literary Fly' and another 'To the Conductor of the Literary Fly'. Issue 14 mostly consists of a long untitled whimsical essay. According to Croft's entry in the Oxford DNB, ten thousand copies of the first issue of the 'Literary Fly' were 'distributed gratuitously on 18 January 1779, but the journal soon died of inanition'. Very scarce. CUL has a holding, anbd Kansas harbours one issue.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. First edition. The first printed edition of King Alfred's will; translated from the original manuscript by Owen Manning and reprinted in 1828. The first printed edition of King Alfred's Will, at the Claredon Press in 1788 with the 1828 reprint. 1788 edition stab-stitched in paper wraps with the 1828 in a quarter cloth binding. Translator, Rev. Owen Manning sourced the original text from theThe New Minster Liber Vitae, the register of New Minster, Winchester. The majority of entries have been dated between 1028 and 1032.Its provenance can be traced back to Walter Clavel, who was in possession of the manuscript from approximately 1710. From there, it passed through several hands before being donated to the MS. library of Mr Thomas Astle in 1769, today found in the British Library (Stowe MS 944). The 1788 edition is a wonderfully thorough scholarly work, partly printed in exquisite Old English type. Manning produced the Old English text parallel to a literal English translation, followed by both a free translation and a Latin translation. (ESTC T87078). The later reprint includes a lengthy preface with additional notes printed to the rear. This text is a monumental record of succession of the Anlgo Saxon crown, the rights, liberties and privileges of nobility during that period as well as numerous fascinating facts including the nature of land tenures and estates. Both volumes with the personal library label of Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor Eric Gerald Stanley, University of Oxford, to the inner front wrap and front pastedown. As of the summer of 2026, a historical researcher claims to have located the final resting place of King Alfred beneath a car park in Winchester, though this yet to be substantiated by archeologists. 1788 edition stab-stitched in paper wraps. 1828 edition in a quarter cloth binding.Externally, smart. 1788 with light soiling to wraps and minor chipping to untrimmed extremties.
