128- BOWDLER (Thomas). A Short view of the life and character of Lieutenant-General Villettes, Late Lieutenant-Governor and Commander of the forces in Jamaica. To which are added, Letters written during a journey from Calais to Geneva, and St. Bernard, in the year 1814. With an appendix containing a few original letters and anecdotes of the late Madame Elizabeth de France. Published to assist in providing free seats for the Poor of Swansea, by enlarging the parish church. Bath, London, Richard Cruttwell, sod by John Robinson, and J. Hatchard, 1815, in-8, with portrait-frontispiece by C. Heath, blue Bradel boards (modern binding). A good copy. Very rare: the first part reproduces the contents of a notice printed confidentially in Jamaica in 1808 (Anecdotes of the late Lieutenant-General Villettes), while the second is a collection of letters written during Bowdler's stay in France and Piedmont in July-October 1814.
