Description

Title: The British Mercury
Author: Archenholtz, Johann Wilhelm von, editor
Description: 4 volumes in 1. [2], 414, [4 ad]; [2], 414; [2], 414; [2], 414, [4 ad] pp. (8vo) 20x12.5 cm. (8x5"), original drab wrappers, uncut. First Edition of Vols. 12-15.This periodical, no doubt intended for Englishmen living abroad, contains a wealth of contemporary cultural detail but is especially valuable for it's articles on the American and French revolutions and the prominent figures therein (including many of Washington's addresses). Also of note are the numerous articles about the various voyages of the time (Meares, etc). The last volume contains a nine-page laudatory obituary of Benjamin Franklin. The ads are for William Remnant's English Library. It is exceeding rare with only one set located by OCLC (Princeton) and none appearing at auction.
