16822408143London: Jacob Tonson 1682. 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> .

1694631London: Jacob Tonson 1694. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Small 4to. Pp. 12; 82; 2. Verso of half-title page features an advertisement for "The Works of Mr. John Dryden in Four Volumes" also published by Tonson. Four-page dedication to the Earl of Salisbury follows the title page. Play is complete with only minor foxing throughout. No tears or wormholes but bottom corner of last leaf shows slight wear. Else Very Good. Bound early 20th C. by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. Binding Fine. The remarkable condition of the interior devoid of wormholes and egregious foxing is unusual and is thus worthy of the elegant binding in which it is contained. This is Dryden's final play which is noted for the inclusion of a song by Congreve. Indeed Dryden foresook the stage for the purpose of undertaking his translation of Virgil. A contemporary reference to the reception of this play can be found in "The Plays and Poems of Shakespeare" 1790 vol. I pt. II p. 141wherein a citation in a letter reveals "it was damned by the universal cry of the town nemine contradicente but the conceited poet." Despite such criticism the care taken in the preservation of the copy at hand indicates the importance of the play and Dryden's place in the pantheon of English literature.
