Add to basketFolio, pp. 15; a fine copy, uncut, in modern boards. First edition. The first poem is a tribute to Robert Walpole, using the language of horse-racing and fox-hunting; the second ode is addressed to the King. In praising Walpole, Manning speaks at one point of his long absence from England, and his return to writing verse after a silence of some thirty years: Me, train'd to foreign Toils and Cares, And vers'd erewhile in State-Affairs, Whom neither Anne, with Laurels crown'd, Nor George, for peaceful Arts renown'd, Unworthy of Regard survey'd, Thro' long Neglect now useless made, Euterpe with the Love of Rhyme Inspires to fill the Gaps of Time. Provenance: Fairfax of Cameron, and thus presumably sold in the sale at Sotheby's London, December 1993. Foxon M91. ESTC now locates eight copies: three in the UK and five in the US.
