Jacobi des Andern, Aus Franckreich, in Gedancken nach Engeland vor- nach Calais : würcklich fortgesetzte und von dar Wiederumb in Franckreich zurück genommene Reise. Aus dem Frantzösischen übersetzt..
Cölln, : Bey Peter Hammern.,
1698..
The book covers the events and intrigues in the Jacobite court after the exile of King James II and VII from Great Britain to France in 1688. In particular it deals with the last attempt to restore James to the British throne. The place of publication is uncertain as it appears under the 'Peter Hammer' imprint. Allegedly located in Cologne, the publishing house never actually existed. The imprint was a fiction under which booksellers and printers in the Netherlands, France and Germany could avoid open identification and political censorship with the politically controversial books they published. German intellectuals, who were opposed to the French monarchy and supported the likes of William III in his wars against Louis XIV, used the imprint to print books such as this one which blackened the name of the French monarch and his supporters.
