Later edition of this narrative of the wild adventures of the fictional Captain Winterfield, which includes several scenarios related to the American Revolution and a number of tangles with American Indians. The frontispiece shows the Captain struggling with an Indian armed with a tomahawk, evidently in New York state. "A farrago of incredible miracles" - Howes. Howes calls for a first edition published in 1788, no copies of which are located by the ESTC. The first edition currently traceable was published in 1798, with several others following in quick succession. All are quite scarce, with OCLC locating only four copies of the present edition. HOWES W582. 12mo. Dbd. Frontispiece detaching. Some tanning, occasional foxing. Good plus.
