SHARPE, JOHN. A Sermon Preached at Trinity-Church in New-York, in America, August 13. 1706. At the Funeral of the Right Honourable Katherine Lady Cornbury . Wife to his Excellency Lord Viscount Cornbury . Governor in Chief of the Provinces of New-York, New- Jersey, and Territories Depending thereon in America. London: H. Hills, [1706?]. 16 p. Removed. Foxing (chiefly in the margins) else very good. The first London printing, published for the benefit of the poor. An essentially unobtainable edition was also printed in New York by Bradford. Cornbury is remembered not so much for his stormy tenure as colonial governor of New York and New Jersey, but rather from the contemporary portrait of him, in The New-York Historical Society, in which he is portrayed in women's clothing. Fortunately the story is explained in Patricia Bonomi's excellent biography of Cornbury. Felcone, New Jersey Books (2nd edn.), 2035; European Americana 706/201; ESTC T73609.
