Lintott, in Fleet Street; Fr Coggan in the Inner-Temple-Lane, G. Strahan and W. Davis in Cornhill. Second Edition (Revised) This work, bound together with: Psalmanaazaar, George. (1710 ? ) An enquiry into the objections against George Psalmanaazaar of Formosa. In which the accounts of the people... Are proved not to contradict his accounts. With accurate and authentick maps... To which is added, George Psalmanaazaar's answer to Mons.

Bibliotheca Japonica: Dictionnaire bibliographique des ouvrages relatifs à l’empire japonais rangés par ordre chronologique jusqu'à 1870 , Paris, 1912. ; 8vo 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" tall; One of the most famous fictitious travel books ever published. It offers a complete and detailed description of the island Formosa and of the life and customs of its people, including alphabets of its language, supposedly written by a native of Formosa, then living at London, but all of it of the author's own invention, written in the best manner of the genre. The real name of the man calling himself George Psalmanazar was never officially solved. Still, Feenstra Kuiper in: "Japan en de Buitenwereld in de 18e eeuw", 1921, p. 213, ascribes the authorship to N. F. B. De Rodes. Some 60 years after the publication of the present travel book, in 1764, Psalmanazar's memoires were published, posthumously, still under his old pseudonym. It seems that the author was born in Southern France, and after his education at Franciscan and Jesuit schools, embarked upon a successful career as con-man. First he pretended to be persecuted for his religion and gained money and favours of many a credulous clergyman. Then, when he was sixteen, he hit upon the idea of passing for an inhabitant of Formosa and spent much time and energy preparing himself. He invented an entire language, grammar and all, and a complete life-style, to sustain his pretense. An English army chaplain discovered the "Formosan", baptized him into the Church of England and brought him to London where he was hailed as a prodigy. He translated the Church catechism into his "Formosan tongue", and wrote the present famous description of Formosa. The book almost immediately caused a literary quarrel over its authenticity, but the author gave up his hoax only after ten years, when absolute proof was presented of some absurdities and discrepancies in his book. During his later years he repudiated his previous behaviour, demonstrated his penitence and lived a model life, even convincing Dr. Samuel Johnson that he was a man of considerable talent, deserving of respect. The book was also translated into French and Dutch, both published at Amsterdam in1705.. Very Good with no dust jacket .

Bibliotheca Japonica: Dictionnaire bibliographique des ouvrages relatifs à l’empire japonais rangés par ordre chronologique jusqu'à 1870 , Paris, 1912. ; 8vo 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" tall; One of the most famous fictitious travel books ever published. It offers a complete and detailed description of the island Formosa and of the life and customs of its people, including alphabets of its language, supposedly written by a native of Formosa, then living at London, but all of it of the author's own invention, written in the best manner of the genre. The real name of the man calling himself George Psalmanazar was never officially solved. Still, Feenstra Kuiper in: "Japan en de Buitenwereld in de 18e eeuw", 1921, p. 213, ascribes the authorship to N. F. B. De Rodes. Some 60 years after the publication of the present travel book, in 1764, Psalmanazar's memoires were published, posthumously, still under his old pseudonym. It seems that the author was born in Southern France, and after his education at Franciscan and Jesuit schools, embarked upon a successful career as con-man. First he pretended to be persecuted for his religion and gained money and favours of many a credulous clergyman. Then, when he was sixteen, he hit upon the idea of passing for an inhabitant of Formosa and spent much time and energy preparing himself. He invented an entire language, grammar and all, and a complete life-style, to sustain his pretense. An English army chaplain discovered the "Formosan", baptized him into the Church of England and brought him to London where he was hailed as a prodigy. He translated the Church catechism into his "Formosan tongue", and wrote the present famous description of Formosa. The book almost immediately caused a literary quarrel over its authenticity, but the author gave up his hoax only after ten years, when absolute proof was presented of some absurdities and discrepancies in his book. During his later years he repudiated his previous behaviour, demonstrated his penitence and lived a model life, even convincing Dr. Samuel Johnson that he was a man of considerable talent, deserving of respect. The book was also translated into French and Dutch, both published at Amsterdam in1705.. Very Good with no dust jacket .
