Description:
Dublin: P. Wilson et. al., 1765. First Irish Edition. 8vo, pp. [ii],[ii], 234. Bound in contemporary mottled calf, couple of pieces of leather missing from the front and rear board, wear along spine, a very good tight copy. CBEL II, 135. Psalmanzar was an elaborate fake. Born in southern France, he, at an early age, developed a persona of a native of Formosa, speaking in an imaginery laguage and using this device made his way in the social, religious and intellectual circes of the time. With the help of his chaplain, William Innes, Psalmanzar translated the Church of England catechism into his imaginery language and worked an invitation to Christ Church, Oxford. In his later life he lived in Ironmonger Row and drank ale with Dr. Johnson. The autobiography outlines some of the ruse. See DNB (vol 46) for an extended write-up.

FIRST DUBLIN EDITION. 12mo, 160 x 95 mms., pp. [iv], 234, later 18th century calf, panelled in blind, spine with raised bands, sides with blind fillet borders. A very good to fine copy, with the autograph "L. Harrison Matthews" and the armorial book plate of John Euan Davies on the front paste-down end-paper, and a leaf of notes, written horizontally on the leaf before the title-page, head "Madam Piozzi." This supposititious account of George Psalmanazar (1679-1763), born to Roman Catholic parents in the south of France, is as amusing as it is unreliable. He was not a "Native of Formosa," but he did publish a book on the island, Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa (1704). Robert DeMaria, Jr., in his Oxford DNB entry, astutely compares him to some other eighteenth-century figures whose imagination was inversely proportional to facts in their… Read More
