First Edition
8vo, pp. [xx], 536; contemporary panelled calf, nicely rebacked, spine gilt, old red morocco label preserved. First edition. This volume is important primarily for its inclusion of the first and only early collection of the poetry of Richard Duke (1685-1711), a clergyman who was a close friend of Dryden, Otway, and Prior. A preliminary note to the reader, possibly by Tonson, provides a few details, particularly with regard to a poem called 'The Review', which is printed here for the first time: As for the poems of the late Mr. Duke; whatever has not been printed before, I have of his own Hand-Writing, to satisfy any Person that doubts of their being his. The Beginning of the Poem, call'd the Review, he wrote a little after the publishing of Mr. Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel; he was persuaded to undertake it by Mr. Sheridan, then secretary to the Duke of York; but Mr. Duke finding Mr. Sheridan design'd to make use of his Pen to vent his Spleen against several Persons at Court that were of another Party, than that he was engaged in, broke off proceeding in it, and left it as it is now printed. Also of interest is a an early appearance in print by Laurence Eusden, later Poet Laureate. In discussing the Earl of Roscommon's poems, the preliminary note adds the following: 'His Essay on Translated Verse has been very much esteem'd; it is from the Ingenious Pen of Mr. Eusden of Cambridge that you have the Latin version of it, which was never printed before'. A fine copy, with the early signature of Thomas Hewett on the front flyleaf. Case, Poetical Miscellanies, 301; Macdonald, Dryden, 326.

First Edition
Three volumes, 8vo, pp. [xii], 308; [ii], 262; [xii], 284, 95, [1], 96; contemporary calf, gilt, spines gilt (spines rather rubbed, but sound). First edition. When the first two volumes of this miscellany appeared in 1749, the two sons of Jacob Tonson's nephew, along with Samuel Draper, published in the following year a rival anthology claiming to be more correct, and more complete. Francis Cogan responded immediately by adding a supplementary volume, with a leaf at the front containing a notice addressed 'to the publick', which gives the flavour of the sort of competition that existed between various London booksellers at the mid-point of the 18th century: Since the publications of the two former volumes of this undertaking, several gentlemen have been so good, to point out such pieces as were omitted therein, and assisted us with others which were never before collected, and some not before printed. To these we have annexed, what our Great Rival promised; those poets of which there are but small remains. To this advantage over our adversary, (notwithstanding his pretensions of perfection and pre-eminence) the reader will also perceive more poems of Roscommon, Dorset, Stepney and Tickell, than are to be found in his edition. And in order to enhance the value of the volume, there are sundry pieces of Dean Swift inserted, not to be met with in any edition of his works, tho' inferior to none. These additions have swell'd our book to a size greatly superior to the price, but we chose to wave the consideration of gain, rather than incur the imputation of having protracted the work with a prospect of increasing our profits. As to the executive part of these productions, which has the air of elegance, or seems the growth of Grub-Street, is left to the decision of every judicious gentleman. As might be expected, many copies of this collection do not include the third volume. Case 467 (1)(a), (2)(a), (3)(a). Provenance. Early armorial bookplates of Arthur Gregory, Esq., of Stivichall, near Coventry, in each volume.

Two volumes, 12mo, pp. [iv], 443, [1]; [vi], 415, [1]; contemporary marbled calf, spines gilt, contrasting orange and brown morocco labels. First edition. This anthology was published to rival and improve upon a very similar collection published the year before by the bookseller Francis Cogan A preliminary publisher's advertisement makes the intention clear: As a very imperfect Collection of the Works of the celebrated Writers contain'd in these Volumes (the Poems of Bishop Sprat excepted) have been offer'd to the Publick, we presume no Apology is necessary for the present Publication. After a diligent search we can find no other Pieces written by these Authors, than what are here inserted, and we hope it will not appear, that any spurious ones are printed amongst them. The size of these Volumes, which is greater than we expected, must be our excuse for not adding any more to them, than the Poems of Bishop Sprat. An attractive set, in what is clearly a continental binding. Case 471.

According to Tonson in the preface, it was written 'a little after the publishing [of] Mr. Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel; he was persuaded to undertake it by Mr. Sheridan, then Secretary to the Duke of York; but Mr. Duke finding Mr. Sheridan design'd to make use of his Pen to vent his Spleen against several Persons at Court that were of another Party, than that he was engaged in, broke off proceeding in it, and left it as it is now printed'.

Roscommon's influential Essay, in heroic couplets, owes much to Boileau and to the author's own education in France after the attainder of his kinsman the Earl of Strafford. Dryden, an intimate friend and himself the translator of Boileau's Art of Poetry in the preceding year, contributes a long commendatory poem. Johnson was a later admirer and praised Roscommon as a critic who 'improved taste' and was 'the only correct writer of verse before Addison'.Macdonald 18a; Wing R 19 30. Language: English.

Both men were popular poets of the Restoration court.Rochester much embodied the rakish lifestyle of the Restoration court, his poetry often being interlinked with his lifestyle. He died due to a venereal disease at the age of thirty-three. Rochester was considered to be one of the most learned of the Restoration wits, his satirical poetry being very popular, though later much censored during the Victorian era.Roscommon was known for being a didactic writer, and his influential blank verse. He was somewhat against the low code of morals of the court, believing that it was leading to a degradation of literature.Two pages of adverts to the rear. In a full calf binding.
