About this Item

4to, pp. [iv], 20; in recent boards. A good copy. First edition. A sequel to Shippen's Faction Display'd, but perhaps only an imitation, as there is no direct evidence of Shippen's authorship, aside from the ascription on the title-page and a copy at Durham bears a contemporary attribution to Bertram Stote, an MP for Northumberland, who was in fact Shippen's brother-in-law. But Frank Ellis in the Poems on Affairs of State (vol 7, 1975, p. 22) says that the attribution to Shippen 'still seems more likely'. In any case this new poem also proved popular, and was several times reprinted; there was a continuation as well, published the following year. Foxon S437.
