Samuel Butler "Hudibras" (London, 1732); Illustrated by William Hogarth - 12mo, - full calf repaired at joints, this book was "The Present of Mr. Jacob Duche to Francis Hopkinson" and includes the bookplate of Francis Hopkinson (1737 - 1791). On the title page, the name Jacob Duche (1737 - 1798) has been crossed out and replaced by Francis Hopkinson 1757. From Wikipedia: "In 1759, Duche married Elizabeth Hopkinson, the sister of Francis. Duché first came to the attention of the First Continental Congress in September 1774, when he was summoned to Carpenters' Hall to lead the opening prayers of their first session. On July 4, 1776, when the United States Declaration of Independence was ratified, Duché, meeting with the church's vestry, passed a resolution stating that the name of King George III of Great Britain was no longer to be read in the prayers of the church. Duché complied, crossing out said prayers from his Book of Common Prayer, committing an act of treason against England, an extraordinary and dangerous act for a clergyman who had taken an oath of loyalty to the King. On July 9, Congress elected him its first official chaplain. When the British occupied Philadelphia in September 1777, Duché was arrested by General William Howe and detained, underlining the seriousness of his actions. He was later released, and emerged as a Loyalist and propagandist for the British,[3] at which time he wrote a famous letter to General George Washington, camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, in which he begged him to lay down arms and negotiate for peace with the British. Suddenly, Duché went from hero of the Revolutionary cause to outcast in the new United States. He was convicted of high treason to the State of Pennsylvania, and his estate was confiscated. In consequence, Duché fled to England." From the Francis Hopkinson Family Archives
