16973017London:: Printed for Jacob Tonson 1697. FIRST EDITION. Folio:. 44.6 x 28.7 cm. 2 A2 4 4 2 2 2 †2 ††2 x1 B-G4 ¶4 ¶¶2 H-T4 U2; a-f4 Aa-Zz4 Aaa-Zzz4 Aaaa-Ffff4 Gggg2 Hhhh-Iiii4 Kkkk2. An exceptional and exceptionally large "large paper" copy. This copy is complete with the engraved frontispiece the extra plate depicting Vergil reading the Aeneid to Augustus and all 101 of the magnificent engraved plates by W. Hollar called for in this edition: ten in the Bucolics twenty in the Georgics and seventy-one in the Aeneid. Bound in 17th-century paneled calf very nicely rebacked in the 18th-century. The spine is separated into eight compartments ruled and tooled in gold by raised bands. There are two spine labels one in red and one in green morocco tooled in gold. The boards are framed by a single gold fillet.Internally this copy is in superb condition with very little of the browning associated with this edition. The great majority of leaves are crisp lily-white and wide margined. In fact this is the largest and cleanest copy that we have had the pleasure to handle. There are a few incidental marginal tears only one of which –now mended- enters an engraving opposite p. 261. The final leaf is ink-stained. "Dryden's 'translation of Vergil'" says Pope whose own translation of Homer was inspired by Dryden's work "is the most noble and spirited translation I know in any language." Thomas "The book was published by subscription a system of joint-stock patronage now coming into vogue. . Dryden's correspondence with his publisher Tonson showed a good many bickerings during the publication. One cause of quarrel was Tonson's desire that the book should be dedicated to William III. Dryden honourably refused; but Tonson had the engravings adapted for the purpose by giving to Aeneas the hooked nose of William Dryden Letter to his son 3 Sept. 1697." DNB"Shakespeare probably knew at least the earlier books of the 'Aeneid' in Latin while Milton's 'Paradise Lost' attempts to provide an English equivalent not only for Vergil's epic themes but even for his syntax diction and as far as possible meter. But in Britain he was also particularly well-served by translations. In the seventeenth-century the epic was translated by Dryden."

1704D291London: R. Wellington 1704. Hardcover. Very Good. Small quarto. Later boards spine chipped but contents very good. Prologue and Epilogue written by John Dryden. Early reprint of this 17th century English play which may have been written by Bacon. It is significant that Bacon is not mentioned in the trial of Essex. The part that Bacon took in the trial was much noted by the public of that time and had Banks really written the play it is scarcely possible that he would have omitted Bacon. Bacon himself would naturally do so. <br/><br/> R. Wellington hardcover books
