Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 12mo., [iv], 212pp., contemporary quarter red morocco over marbled boards, spine with raised bands and lettered in gilt, a little rubbed on extremities but generally a VG+ clean copy in a nice binding. The author's surname is printed after the title and before the poem in the volume itself. Note that all authors are listed by surname only in the TOC, except for Colley Cibber, Mrs. Thrale, and Miss Carter. All names in the TOC are italicized, and not all poems are listed with authors. The ordering of the poems appears to be random (i.e. it is not done by chronology or subject) and as it collects extracts of longer poems, it seems to be a good example of a 'beauty' volume.
