Descrição:
First and only edition, extremely rare, of this account of the Austro-Turkish War of 1788-1791, and of the concurrent Russo-Turkish war of 1787-92. It includes the full texts of the Treaty of Sistova of 4 August 1791 and of a separate convention attached to it, in both French and German. While the gains for Austria were meagre, the end of the Russo-Turkish war, sanctioned by the Treaty of Jassy of 9 January 1792, effectively left Russia in control of the Black Sea. Library Hub shows a single copy, at the British Library. Atabey 490 (this copy); not in Blackmer.8vo, pp. viii, 280; sporadic light foxing due to paper quality, but a very good copy, bound in contemporary half sheep, spine gilt-ruled in compartments, gilt lettering piece, shelfmark labels at head and foot of spine; front pastedown with book label ('Franz, Graf von Schönborn') of Franz, first Count of Schönborn-Buchheim (1768–1841), Schönborn-Buchheim armorial library label with shelfmark, and book label of Şefik E. Atabey.

It gives an explanation of the origins of the Society and then is entirely directed to the career and particularly the principles of William Penn, based on 'traditional information' and 'publicly and privately attested facts'. The private information was doubtless supplied by John Penn (1760-1834), founder of the Society, who, as a surviving grandson of William Penn, succeeded his father to the moiety of the last proprietorship of Pennsylvania.The Outinian Society was originally founded in 1817 as the Matrimonial Society in response to an anonymous poem called 'Marriage' in the Monthly Magazine. It had the object of promoting marriage and improving the domestic life of married couples.
