Brunet I 1427-28. Lowndes 335. Maslen & Lancaster Bowyer Ledgers 4485. Paulson Hogarth’s Graphic Works 73-84. Second Hogarth edition with Grey's notes with "many emendations upon that of 1744" according to Lowndes. Originally published in three parts between 1663 and 1678; the first edition with Hogarth's plates appeared in 1726 and the plates were re-engraved for this edition. Influenced by Rabelais and particularly Cervantes' Don Quixote Butler's mock-heroic poem satirized Roundheads Puritans Presbyterians and other factions of the English Civil War. "Although 'written in the time of the late Wars' Hudibras was not licensed to be printed until 11 November 1662 two years after re-establishment of the monarchy when a satire on Puritanism could no longer give offense to the ruling party. On the contrary the satisfaction which it gave to the King and court had much to do with the great success it achieved." Grolier English Literature 100 32. Samuel Pepys bought a copy and finding no humor in it sold it the same day. Still the book enjoyed enormous popularity and on 5 November 1663 the Second Part appeared. Fourteen years passed before 'Hudibras: the Third and Last Part' dated 1678 was entered in the Stationers' register on 22 August 1677 and put on sale. Multiple editions as well as pirated issues of the individual parts as well as combined editions were published by 1680. According to Bland Hogarth's plates are a "landmark in English illustration and emphasize its divergence from an international style. . . . nothing could be more different from French work of the time . . . Hogarth aims at the common man; where the French illustrator is salacious he is coarse; where the French illustrator chooses a classical or aristocratic subject he prefers a contemporary plebeian one; and he is moral where the Frenchman is amoral."

Tonson and S. Draper 1744. Many of Philips's poems including his first the Splendid Shilling which The Tatler commended as "the finest Burlesque Poem in the British Language" were composed in Miltonic blank verse. "Philips's greatest poem the two-book georgic Cyder 1708 begun at Oxford celebrates his native land and in particular Herefordshire with a combination of accurate knowledge of apples and cider making and a ‘sketch of our National History.' The botanist Philip Miller told Dr. Johnson that ‘there were many books written on the same subject in prose which do not contain so much truth as that poem.' . . . Philips taught Pope who drew on Cyder in Windsor Forest how to use Paradise Lost for un-Miltonic purposes and to suggest that paradise might still be found in England's green and pleasant land."

Sheridan was an Irish stage actor educator and incidentally godson of Jonathan Swift and father of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan as well as a major proponent of the elocution movement. In Western classical rhetoric elocution the art of delivering speeches was one of the five core disciplines of pronunciation emerging as a formal discipline during the eighteenth century. Sheridan's lectures on the subject collected in Lectures on Elocution 1762 and Lectures on Reading 1775 provided directions for marking and reading aloud passages from literature. N. B.

175746405153Paris, Par la Société des Libraires, 1757 ; in-12, veau fauve marbré, dos à nerfs et ornements dorés, tranches rouges. (Reliure de l’époque) 164 pp.Édition à la date de l’originale. Deux éditions ont paru en 1757, l’une à l’adresse d’Amsterdam et celle-ci, donnée par les Libraires Associés de Paris. Mylne Martin 57.12C’est le premier des dix romans de madame Riccoboni. Avec ce livre, elle met au goût du jour le style épistolaire pratiqué en Angleterre par Richardson que l’abbé Prévost avait traduit avec beaucoup de succès. Ce premier roman est inspiré par une aventure personnelle de l’auteur. Persécutée par un mari violent et débauché, l’acteur Antoine François Riccoboni qu’elle avait épousé en 1734, elle l’avait quitté en 1755. “M. Boissonade a révélé cette particularité connue de peu de personnes, les lettres de Fanny Butler, données sous forme d’un roman, doivent leur origine à une liaison d’amour très réelle, et furent adressées à M. de Maillebois, dont elle était folle, et qui la quitta fort brusquement.” Gay II, 827.À la suite est relié un autre roman épistolaire de madame Riccoboni : Lettres de Milady Juliette Catesby à Milady Henriette Campley, son amie. Seconde édition. Amsterdam, 1759 ; 172 pages. Seconde édition publiée la même année que l’originale. Mylne Martin, 59.22 - Gay II, 827 : “Petit roman sentimental, bien écrit et devenu classique”. Coins inférieurs usés, sinon bel exemplaire.
