DESCRIPTION
The first edition.
Bound in paper covered boards, with renewed endpapers.
Comprised of 'The Management Of War. In a Letter To A Tory-Member' and 'The Management Of War. In a Second Letter To A Tory-Member', bound together.
These two letters were published one week apart, with a note to the rear of the first letter stating "N. B. The Second Letter will be published next Saturday.".
Written anonymously, by English churchman and classical scholar, Francis Hare.
A series of letters published surrounding the War of the Spanish Succession, in which Francis Hare defended this military endeavour, providing support for the war and for the Duke of Marlborough, with particular reference to the Flanders campaign.
Commencing in 1702, the War of Spanish Succession was starting to lose traction in Britain by 1711, leading to the publication of a number of pamphlets by Hare in support of the war.
Bound with the half title.
With a number of ink annotations, including one reading 'member of parliament in soho square, London, 1710'.
CONDITION
Bound in paper covered boards, with renewed endpapers. Externally, smart, with light cracking to joints and a little chipping to backstrip. Front board tenderly held. Scattered spots to the fore edge. Ink annotations to half title and to the verso of p39. Internally, binding is a little strained to the first few pages, otherwise generally firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned, with the odd mark.
