8vo, pp. 28. [Bound after:] [Earbery, Matthias], The Second Part of the Advantages That have Accrued to England by the Succession in the Illustrious House of Hanover. London: Printed in the Year 1721. 8vo, pp. 38. [And:] (Religion), The Causes Of the Decay of Presbytery in Scotland. In Answer to a Letter from a Clergy-Man of that Perswasion. Edinburgh: Printed in the Year 1713. 3 pamphlets bound together in 20th-century yellow-glazed textured paper boards backed in paler glazed paper, spine and front board lettered in ink. Some scattered toning and soiling. Boards a little marked. Folded typewritten fragment of a letter dated 10.3.63 loosely inserted. A scarce pamphlet advocating an armed citizenry against the tyranny of the state in rather florid prose, bound with two further anonymous pamphlets with broadly anti-Hanovarian sentiment. The Appeal is recorded in just 5 locations by ESTC: BL, NLS and Oxford in the UK, and Folger and California in North America. The letter fragment from a previous owner included describes its publication as ?unquestionably an act of high treason,? adding, ?but I suppose the author was never discovered? Certainly none of the listed holdings venture an attribution, and the printing itself is anonymous, with no tell-tale printers? devices or typographical oddities. Earbery was a non-juring clergyman who was forced to flee to France to avoid arrest when a book of his, critical of the monarchy, was seized by the government in 1717, and was twice arrested for seditious libel in the decades following; the title of his pamphlet here can be considered ironical. The third pamphlet here is a little earlier, and was also published with a London imprint in the same year. ?This pamphlet was published before the elections of 1713; it tends to confuse more than to clarify matters in Scotland. Written from an Episcopalian point of view but from an English as opposed to a Scottish angle, it was a complicated review of the distant and recent political past of Scotland, with considerable attention to religious matters? (McLeod & McLeod, Anglo-Scottish Tracts, 1979). ESTC T108497; T172369; T84150; McLeod & McLeod 73.
