Original publisher's blind-stamped blue cloth, lettered in gilt to spine. A trifle rubbed and marked. Scattered spotting. The sole edition of an anonymous collection of middling picturesque poetry, published, with the understanding that, 'should any profit accrue from this edition, it will be given to the mission to Central Africa.'

Two further works of theirs are advertised, Christmas Day: A Poem and Miscellaneous Poems; no copies of the former appear extant, the latter is remarkably scarce. OCLC and COPAC together locate copies at five locations (BL, California, Cambridge, NLS, and Trinity College Dublin). . First edition. 8vo.

Delegates agreed that Britain would receive damages totalling £95,000 for harm done to vessels and crews during Spanish boardings, and that Spain be compensated in return for the nonpayment of proceeds from the Asiento - the permission given by the government to trade slaves in Spanish colonies. The convention proved exceedingly unpopular with the South Sea Company and British and Spanish merchant captains alike, and by the year's end both nations would violate the treaty, thus instigating the War of Jenkins' Ear.
