There is also an issue with the line starting under the R of "Printed" Initially attributed to Matthew Prior who denied he was the author it is also sometimes attributed…to Daniel Defoe [1661 -1731] but it is in any case another of Hills' pirated editions from a first edition of 1704. It was Shippen's first publication and attracted much attention and was published in a pirated edition within days of the first edition of 1704. This second printing, also a counterfeit is squeezed into 16 pages instead of the 20 of the original in that th type font from the top of page 13 to the end on page 16 is noticeably smaller as is the line spacing.

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 Northumberl…and, 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.

4to, pp. [iv], 20; bound in full polished calf, gilt, spine and inner dentelles gilt, red morocco label, by Riviere. A fine large copy, with outer edges untrimmed, but with some pale waterstains. First edition. William Shippen 1675-1745) received his degree from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1694, and was called to the bar in 16…99. In the early years of the reign of Anne he became much involved in the increasingly contentious world of politics, and sought to establish himself as a Tory polemicist. This poem, depicting the junto lords as conspirators in the manner of Catiline, was his first publication, and it appears to have attracted a good deal of attention, as a reply from the Whigs appeared almost immediately. The piece was at first widely attributed to Matthew Prior, who explicitly denied having anything to do with it, but Shippen's authorship is confirmed by Giles Jacob, and by Alexander Pope, in a note in his copy of A New Collection of Poems relating to State Affairs (1705), now in the British Library. Pope later came to know Shippen well, when he was a leader of the Jacobite party in House of Commons. An early owner has identified a passage on p. 15, characterising 'Bibliopolo' the bookseller, as referring to Jacob Tonson. Foxon S427.

No Binding. Condition: Fair. London, Printed in the Year 1704; 4to, pp [iv], 20, 160x210mm; disbound from some volume and with the first two leaves nearly separated from the remainder which is, however, complete although also loose in parts; somewhat browned and with dust and other soiling and some old marks of water staining; t…here are generous foredge, binding and foot margins but the top has been cut rather close in the last three leaves (pp 15 to 20). Shippen was a Tory MP and a Jacobite, acting as a link between the Scottish and English adherents. The poem is an anti-Whig polemic specifically targeting the powerful Whig bookseller Jacob Tonson. This is an interesting copy in that there are some 18 very early, perhaps contemporary, annotations in the margins identifying the various people and places mentioned pseudonymously in the poem.
