First edition,48pp., small stain on title, slight browning of the text, uncut, disbound. "This Letter is an attack on John Woodward, Professor of Physic at Gresham College, who repeatedly came into conflict, on scientific subjects, with members of Tory circles. It is the only one of the pieces printed in Wagstaffe's 'Miscellaneous Works', 1725, of which the authorship is undisputed." - Rothschild. ***** Some of Dr. Wagstaffe's writings have such literary merit, that Charles Wentworth Dilke conjectures that this work was written by Swift, whilst Sir Henry Craik in his 'Life of Swift' said the hypothesis was almost irresistible. Wagstaffe was a physician at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, whether he was also an original satirist influenced by Swift is open to question, but he certainly must have met him quite frequently at the house of his father-in-law, Charles Bernard.

Tavola tratta dal celebre The Musical Entertainer, stampato a Londra da Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 o dopo]. Bickham è principalmente conosciuto per quest'opera incisa, pubblicata per la prima volta in parti quindicinali, ciascuna con quattro tavole, tra il gennaio 1737 e il dicembre 1739. Una seconda edizione fu anche pubblicata in parti tra il 1740 e il 1741, e una terza, stampata dalle tavole originali, fu pubblicata da John Ryall nel 1765. Le 200 tavole sono canzoni di Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch e altri, ognuna con una vignetta incisa, e a parte il loro interesse musicale, forniscono una visione affascinante della vita sociale del tempo. Otto dei disegni sono di Gravelot, e secondo l'opinione di Ray molti altri sono stati imitati dall'opera di Watteau, il che lo porta a dire che il canzoniere "può quasi essere considerato francese". George Bickham il Giovane era incisore, editore, tipografo e uno dei primi caricaturisti inglesi. Ha prodotto pubblicazioni didattiche, caricature politiche e stampe pornografiche. Era il figlio dell'incisore George Bickham il Vecchio, che pubblicò la Universal Penman. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

London: Smith, Elder & Co; Cohen-de Ricci 145-146; Ray, French Illustrated Book, 12 Plate taken from The Musical Entertainer. London: Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 or later]. Bickham was principally known for this engraved work, first issued in fortnightly parts, each with four plates, between January 1737 and December 1739. A second edition was also brought out in parts 1740-41, and a third, printed from the original plates, was issued by John Ryall in 1765. The 200 plates are songs by Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch and others, each headed with an engraved vignette, and quite apart from their musical interest they provide fascinating insight into the social life of the time. Eight of the designs are after Gravelot, and in Ray's opinion many others were imitated from Watteau's Oeuvre, leading him to say the song book "may almost be regarded as French." George Bickham the Younger (c. 1706–1771) was an English etcher and engraver, a printseller, and one of the first English caricaturists. He produced didactic publications, political caricatures, and pornographical prints. He was the son of the engraver George Bickham the Elder (1684–1758), who published the Universal Penman (1733–41). Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, with margins, perfect condition. Bibliografia Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1886). "Bickham, George (d.1758)". Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 5.
