An important set in very good condition. Robert Dodsley 1703 - September 23 1764 was an English bookseller and miscellaneous writer. He was born near Mansfield Nottinghamshire where his father was master of the free school. He is said to have been apprenticed to a stocking-weaver in Mansfield from whom he ran away going into service as a footman. In 1729 Dodsley published his first work Servitude: a Poem written by a Footman with a preface and postscript ascribed to Daniel Defoe; and a collection of short poems A Muse in Livery or the Footman's Miscellany was published by subscription in 1732 Dodsley's patrons comprising many persons of high rank. This was followed by a satirical farce called The Toyshop Covent Garden 1735 in which the toymaker indulges in moral observations on his wares a hint which was probably taken from Thomas Randolph's Conceited Pedlar. The profits accruing from the sale of his works enabled Dodsley to establish himself with the help of his friends--Alexander Pope lent him £100--as a bookseller at the "Tully's Head" in Pall Mall in 1735. Dodsley is however best known as the editor of two collections: Select Collection of Old Plays 12 vols. 1744; 2nd edition with notes by Isaac Reed 12 vols. 1780; 4th edition by William Carew Hazlitt 1874-1876 15 vols.; and A collection of Poems by Several Hands 1748 3 vols. which passed through many editions. In 1737 his King and the Miller of Mansfield a "dramatic tale" of King Henry II was produced at Drury Lane and received with much applause; the sequel Sir John Cockle at Court a farce appeared in 1738.
