[Rarebooks] fs: Holy Fake Franklins, Batboy!! (1/6 on Japan Vellum)

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

[Tickell, Richard]. THE GREEN BOX OF MONSIEUR DE SARTINE found at 
Mademoiselle du The.

New York; Charles F. Heartman: 1916.
One of 7 copies printed on Japan Vellum;
the main edition was limited to only 65 copies.

Charles Heartman was a noted bibliophile and an editor of the American Book 
Collector; he was also a bibliographer of Edgar Allen Poe and books 
relating to African-Americans. This particular title is from his series of 
limited edition reprints of curious early books relating to America. The 
"Green Box" was published in Paris and London in 1779 and purported to be a 
group of letters discovered in a French diplomatic dispatch box relating to 
the American Revolution, including two letters written by Benjamin 
Franklin. What it actually was was a rather pointed satire by the English 
satirist Richard Tickell. Heartman's reprint is very handsome, featuring a 
facsimile of the original title page.

6.5"x9.5", 60 pages, bound in 3/4 leather with marbled boards, as issued. 
Some slight scuffing to the covers, but the contents are fine. [30186] $250.00
