= The first eyewitness account of Antarctic, written by Marra, a gunner's mate on the Resolution, without the knowledge of Cook, who first tried to suppress publication. "This rare account of Cook's second voyage was published surreptitiously eighteen months before Cook's official narrative. It records many incidents omitted by Cook and gives the reasons which caused Sir Joseph Banks and his twelve assistants to withdraw from the expedition at the last moment. Marra was a gunner's mate on the Resolution. He was an Irishman whom Cook had picked up in Batavia during the first voyage. Marra made an unsuccessful attempt to desert at Tahiti on May 14, 1774. Marra probably supplied material from his private journal which was put into shape by some literary person in the pay of the publisher Newbery" (Hill).

= The second edition, second issue (with "segt" and "Hoochghelovet" on the title-p.) of the Wonderboeck by the important Anabaptist leader David Joris (1501-1556); the first edition was publ. in 1542-1544. Main work of this controversial reformer, containing all aspects of his religion. Van der Linde 58; P. Valkema Blouw, Typographia Batava 1541-1600, 5644.

For the identification of Mullem as reprinter of the Wonderboeck see P. Valkema Blouw, 'Printers to the 'Arch-Heretic' David Joris. Prolegomena to a Bibliography of His Works' (Quaerendo 21.3 (1991), p.163-209). Apart from an admission by Mullem during an interrogation the identification is based upon typographic analysis: "We also find in the book a number of large calligraphic initials, sometimes as many as six or seven different ones of the same letter and other than the ones in the first edition. (...) these initials are a valuable and generally indispensable means of recognizing the products of his press. They make it possible to establish that this was not the only commission he received but that he also published a large number of other writings by David Joris and thus became his most important printer after the prophet's death. None of the books contains an imprint and it is only sporadically that we obtain any information about their date of publication via other channels."
