Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

pp. (ii), vi, (7)-118. Title vignette of Povey's coat-of-arms repeated on page 94.

The remark on 'Pamela's Letters' in the title, is a reference to Samuel Richardson's novel of that name to which he devotes a heavily critical section. Clearly a considerable eccentric, Povey experimented with a number of commercial enterprises, including the coal trade [inventing an engine for clearing coal from ships], life and fire insurance [he set up the Sun Fire Office], he published the periodical 'General Remarks on Trade', proposed the half-penny carriage of letters within the Cities of London and Westminster and other schemes either of invention or commerce. His writings were numerous, contentious and vehicles for his quarrelsome and vain personality, though he claimed that he never wrote anything that did not '.tend to promote virtue and unity among men'.…
