John Philips was born at Bampton, Oxfordshire, the son of the parish vicar, Stephen Philips (1638-84), and his wife Mary, née Cook (1640-1715). He was educated, from 1691, at Winchester College and, from 1697, at Christ Church, Oxford, where he studied botany and other sciences for a time. Philips began writing poetry as a student, and in 1701 his poem The Splendid Shilling, a burlesque in Miltonic verse, appeared in a pirated version. After another pirated edition, Philips published a corrected folio version in 1705. Addison later called it the finest burlesque poem in the British language (Tatler, No. 249), it was anthologized throughout the 18th century. Through it, Philips was introduced to Henry St. John (later Viscount Bolingbroke), and was commissioned to write Blenheim, intended as an alternative to Addison's The Campaign. Philips left Oxford sometime after 1707, without taking a degree. Philips' poem Cyder, a georgic poem on the process of cider-making, with many local allusions to Herefordshire, was published by Tonson in 1708. It was an influence on Alexander Pope's Windsor-Forest (1713) as well as on the landscape poetry of Dyer and Thomson. Philips died at Hereford early in 1709. He was buried in Hereford Cathedral. An edition of Philips's Poems, with a Life by George Sewell, was published by Curll in 1713.

[2], 22pp. Folio. Foxed & browned. Disbound. ESTC T4586; Foxon P226. First edition variant with 'Army, Death.', p.8, line 12. Foxon P226. It was written on the occasion of the Duke of Marlborough's victory, and commissioned by Robert Harley as a Tory counter to Addison's The Campaign (1704). Written in imitation of Milton, and using Addison's poem as a template, its double derivativeness was to later prove an embarrassment to Philips, who in an anecdote related by Harley, pleaded that 'Mr Secretary Harley made me write it'. (Ref: Houston, Alan. A Nation Transformed: England After the Restoration. CUP, 2001.).

8vo in fours, pp. [iv], 33; 16; [ii], [43]-48; 48; with an engraved frontispiece portrait (as a bust on a monument); the pagination occasionally shaved at head, and some leaves a little foxed, else a good copy; in early panelled calf, rebacked. First collected edition. John Philips (1676-1709) was educated at Winchester and Christ Church, Oxford. As a schoolboy he developed an affinity for the poetry of Milton which remained with him during the whole of his brief but influential literary career. His imitations of Milton attracted great attention, both from critics and imitators. 'A poet who could commend both Charles I and John Milton, both Bolingbroke and Marlborough, would find many friends and make few enemies. Their praise suggests that, whatever his Stuart sympathies, his deepest political instincts, like Pope's, were for reconciliation Philips did not aim at literary fame or fortune: he apparently wrote for his own pleasure' (ODNB). This first attempt at a collected edition of his verse is in fact a nonce collection, assembled by Curll from the sheets of his own publication, George Sewell's Life and Character of Mr. John Philips, with the preliminaries cancelled (but retaining the Latin ode to Bolingbroke), along with piracies by Henry Hills of his two most famous poems, with the original title-pages dated 1709 (Foxon P234 and P240). Complete copies are very uncommon: ESTC lists only twelve examples. The medallion portrait in this copy is not mentioned by ESTC; it has the appearance of a proof before letters. Provenance: Early inscription on the half-title: 'Ex dono Johannes Whyte de Lexlep [sic] Dublin 2d Feb 1719/20'. Below this is an ownership inscription dated 1913, noting the acquisition of this copy from Bertram Dobell; 19th-century armorial bookplate of George Stirling Home Drummond of Blair-Drummond and Ardoch. Foxon p. 570.

Folio, pp. [iv], 6; upper portion of last page a bit dusty, else a fine copy; disbound. First edition of Lyttelton's first publication, published when he was 19, and about to set off on the customary grand tour on the Continent. The poem, in blank verse and on the Duke of Marlborough and his palace, is dedicated to Lady Diana Spencer (1710-35), the Duke's granddaughter through his daughter Anne, who had married the Earl of Sunderland; Lady Diana married the Duke of Bedford in 1731, but her only child was stillborn. Samuel Johnson regarded this poem as a mediocre performance: 'His blank verse in Blenheim has neither much force nor much elegance'. Nor was the subject new, as Aubin points out: 'Blenheim, already celebrated by Harrison and Hoffman, was sung by Lord Lyttelton in a flowery style. the classical dictionary is ransacked for parallels. Like other haunters of these shades, Lyttelton pays his respects to 'Rosamonda, hapless Fair' [i.e. Rosamund Clifford, mistress of Henry II]; and he exalts the late Duke whose super-life-size statue on its enormous pillar dominates the impeccable estate.' Foxon L330; Aubin, Topographical Poetry, p. 127; Horn, Marlborough: a Survey, 540 (with a long summary).

originaler Kupferstich/copper engraving von zwei Platten ca.45x57cm (Darstellung/image size) von und nach Jan van Huchtenburgh (1647 in Haarlem 1733 in Amsterdam) auf Bütten-Papier/hand-made paper (52x57,5cm) in der Platte typographisch betitelt und bezeichnet; aus: Jean Dumont und Jean Rousset de Missy Histoire militaire du Prince Eugène de Savoye, du Prince et Duc de Marlborough, et du Prince de Nassau-Frise, où l'on trouve un détail des principales actions de la dernière guerre, & des batailles & sièges commandez par ces trois généraux" Isaac van der Kloot, Den Haag 1729 Das interessante Blatt stammt aus der ersten Ausgabe eines der prächtigsten und am reichsten illustrierten Werke über die Militärgeschichte im Imperial-Folio-Format. Dargestellt werden die glorreichen Feldzüge des berühmten Türkenkriegers Prinz Eugen von Savoyen (1663 in Paris 1736 in Wien) sowie des 1. Herzogs von Marlborough John Churchill (1650 in Ashe 1722 in Devonshire) und Johann Wilhelm Friso (1687 in Dessau 1711 bei Moerdijk) in den Türkenfeldzügen sowie im Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg. Der niederländische Schlachten-Maler Jan van Huchtenburgh (1647 in Haarlem 1733 in Amsterdam) begleitete den österreichischen Feldmarschall Prinz Eugen von Savoyen in den Jahren 1708 bis 1717 auf dessen Feldzügen und malte dessen Schlachten in großen Zyklen. Die meisten seiner Werke befinden sich heute in der Galleria Sabauda in Turin. [Der äußerst seltene und kräftige Abzug mit einer geglätteten vertikalen Bugfalte, dort leicht quetschfaltig. Paper smoothed centre-folded.] Die Zweite Schlacht bei Höchstädt (im engl. Battle of Blenheim) war die erste größere Auseinandersetzung im Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg. Ein alliiertes Heer aus Kaiserlichen und Reichsarmee unter Befehl von Prinz Eugen von Savoyen sowie der Engländer unter dem Befehl des John Churchill, 1. Duke of Marlborough schlug am 13. August 1704 die Truppen der Franzosen unter dem Befehl von Marschall Tallard und der Bayern unter dem Befehl von Kurfürst Maximilian II. Emanuel. Durch den Sieg wurde ein drohender Marsch der verbündeten französisch-bayerischen Armeen auf Wien verhindert. Quelle: wikipedia.
