4to, pp. 32; blank strip torn from the lower margin of the title-page and following leaf, affecting the signature mark and catchword on A2, otherwise a fine uncut copy, sewn, as issued. First London edition, with slight revisions; preceded by the Glasgow edition of 1717, and an Edinburgh reprint of 1719. A mock-heroic poem written while Arbuckle was a student at Glasgow University, 'containing some curious information respecting the snuff-taking and snuff-boxes of the period' (ODNB). 'The poem is too long by one-third at least, but it is not unskilful. Some passages, particularly the one on vizors and patches, should be welcome to the social historian' (Bond). Arbuckle's other student poems include an elegy for Joseph Addison (1719), and Glotta (1721), a topographical poem on the Glasgow countryside, with glances at his university life and curriculum; he also exchanged compliments in verse with Allan Ramsay. In 1724 he moved to Dublin, where he remained until his death in 1742, pursuing a career in philosophical and literary journalism modelled on that of Addison. In Dublin he had an occasional and uneasy relationship with Swift. One of the poems in Swift's brief poetical squabble with Patrick Delany, A Panegyric on the Reverend Dean Swift (1730) is often ascribed to Arbuckle, though many have judged it a piece of self-satire by Swift himself. Swift has sometimes been credited with a nasty lampoon called Wit upon Crutches (1725), which made fun of the fact that Arbuckle had been crippled from an early age. In the 1730s he took a post as a clerk in the Irish revenue service, but he continued to publish. Arbuckle died unmarried and intestate; an obituary in the Dublin Journal commended 'his learning, political writings, and some ingenious and witty pieces in the poetical way'. Foxon A289. The Bowyer ledgers reveal that 500 copies of this quarto were printed; but of these ESTC lists only six (BL, NLS and Bodleian in the UK; and Yale, Harvard and NYPL in the USA).
