Hardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. [2], 76 pages. 183 x 20 mm. From the book "LADY MARY WORTLEY MONTAGU AND HER TIMES by George Paston, pp. 475. "In November young Wortley again comes to the fore as the hero of a gambling scandal. It appears that he went to Paris in the autumn with Miss Ashe, Lord Southwell, and Theobald Taafe M.P.Taaffe (c. 1708-1780) for Arundel. According to Horace Walpole Wortley and Taafe had frequently acted as pharaoh-bankers to Madame de Mirepoix, the French ambassadress, and having presumably made London too hot to hold them, they migrated to France in the hope of finding fresh victims. Shortly after their arrival, the two members of parliament, together with Lord Southwell, were accused of making a Jew drunk, and then cheating him out of 670 louis d'or. The victim, Abraham Paybas, alias James Roberts, declaring that they had forced him by menaces to give drafts for the money, and that after he had left Paris they broke into his lodgings and carried off gold and jewels. Both Wortley and Taafe were locked up in prison, pending the trial, but the Jew's action against them failed, and they afterwards sued him for false imprisonment. He was condemned to pay each of the injured parties 100,000 livers, and also to make 'reparation of honour' before twelve witnesses. It was stated that the judgment was reversed later, but no further proceedings were taken against the Englishmen. Young Wortley wrote an account of the matter, in which he complains bitterly of the treatment he had undergone, and asks whether it is probable that 'having lived hitherto without stain or reproach upon my character, I should start all at once into such a pitch of wickedness as to fuddle a man with a premeditated design to rob him of his money? Horace Walpole gives a lively account of the affair, and declares that the accused would be reduced to keep the best company on their return to England, because nobody else would converse with them. 'Their separate anecdotes are curious', he continues, 'Wortley, you know, has been a perfect Gil Blas, and, for one of his last adventures, is thought to have added the famous Miss Ashe to the number of his wives. Taaffe is an Irishman, who changed his religion to fight a duel; as you know in Ireland a Catholic may not wear a sword. . . He is a gamester, usurer, adventurer, and of later has divided his attentions between the Duke of Newcastle and Madame Pompadour; travelling with turtles and pine-apples in post-chaises to the latter - flying back to the former for the Lewes races - and smuggling Burgundy at the same time. I shall finish their history with a bon mot. The Speaker was railing at gambling and White's a propos to these two prisoners. Lord Coke, to whom the conversation was addressed, replied, 'Sir, ll I can say is, that they are both members of the House of commons, and neither of them of White's.". …

Albert Montefiore Hyamson (27 August 1875 London - 5 October 1954 London) was a Jewish British civil servant and writer who was chief immigration office in the British Mandate of Palestine from 1921 to 1934. In the 1910s and 1920s he espoused Zionism, but starting the 1930s he espoused a bi-national state in Palestine, to which Jewish immigration would be limited and controlled by the Arabs. He was more concerned with his status among British gentiles than the suffering of European Jews. Countless Jews ended up in the Auschwitz crematoria instead of in their ancient homeland thanks to British immigration policy he carried out. In Vilnius he was known as a Jewish anti-Semite. In 1937 Hyamson opposed a Jewish state, drafting the Hyamson-Newcombe proposal. . .…

Chereau, rue St. Jacques au dessus de la Fontaine St. Severin aux 2 Colonnes No. 257." Jacques Chéreau (1688 - 1776) was a portrait engraver, printmaker and publisher of optical prints in a neighbourhood of printmakers at the Rue Saint-Jacques variously given on prints as "au Grand St. Remy," "au Coq," or "au dessus de la Fontaine St. Severin", in Paris, France. From about 1740 to about 1820 optical prints, also called "vue optique" or "vue d'optique" prints were made to be viewed through a Zograscope, or other devices of convex lens and mirror, all of which produced optical illusion of depth. Intaglio optical prints have exaggerated converging lines and bright hand-colours which contribute to the illusion of depth. Typically the legends of optical prints have reversed words along the top edge as those would be seen though the scope, but words on the bottom of the prints are normal. Jacques and his brother were considered some of the most prolific publishers of prints in Paris. Subjects include current events, views of the known world, and fantasy compositions. (Wikipedia).…
