Small quarto 32pp.; protected in modern wrapper. <p><p>First edition second issue: the second of Dryden's political satires.</p> <p>The acquittal of the Earl of Shaftesbury on charges of treason for opposing the succession of the Catholic James was regarded as a great Whig victory. Flushed with success they issued a medal Shaftesbury's head on the obverse the sun rising over the Tower of London on the reverse. It was the perfect prompt for Dryden's mock-heroic satire: "Of all our Antick Sights and Pageantry Which English Ideots run in crowds to see The Polish Medall bears the prize alone."</p> </p> .
