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.

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.
