TRACTS. – [Captain JENKINS.] Spanish Insolence Corrected: Being an Historical Account of the Many Signal Naval Achievements, Obtained by the English over the Spaniards, from the Year 1350, to the Present Time. London: by the Booksellers of London and Westminster, [circa 1738.] 4to (229 x 176mm.) 99pp. (Heavily damp-stained with corner losses.) Original wrappers (detached, losses). Note: a second edition of this tract was published in 1739 and attributed to a ‘Captain Jinkins’ and with a slightly altered title (‘Spanish Insolence Corrected by English Bravery…’), so this is likely a pirated copy of the first edition. – And a further two tracts (‘Philanthropos’’ ‘An Honest and Friendly Address to Persons of all Ranks and Conditions, in a Manner hitherto Unattempted; which (instead of enumerating our Vices and Places of Diversion) Points out the Source, strikes at the Root, of the Load of Calamities, Follies, and Impieties, the Nation at this Time groans under’, 1750, 4to, and ‘The Axe (Once more) Laid to the Root of the Tree… Published for the universal Benefit of Mankind’, 1743, 4to) (3).
