Political Tract The Medall. A Satyre Against Sedition. By the Authour of Absalom and Achitophel

1682BB1750London: printed for Jacob Tonson at the Judge’s Head in Chancery-lane near Fleet-street 1682. First Edition. Marbled Wrappers. Near Fine. Presumed second issue two lines of Latin verse on final page of this satirical poem lampooning the Earl of Shaftesbury. Small 4to: 1220pp. There are at least two issues: the first Macdonald 13.a.i lacks the Latin lines at the end. Recent hand-marbled stiff paper wrappers paper title label printed in black to front cover. An excellent example beautifully rebound and generally clean throughout. Macdonald 13.a.ii. Wing D2311. ESTC R17608. Pforzheimer 331. Ashley Library II pp. 84-85. Dryden's unsparing invective against the Whigs prefaced by a vigorous and plainspoken prose "Epistle to the Whigs." In 1681 the Whigs had a medal struck in Poland the Earl of Shaftesbury's head in profile on the obverse the sun rising over the Tower of London on the reverse to commemorate the release of one of their most prominent leaders who had been held in the Tower on charges of treason for opposing the succession of the Catholic James to the throne. 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: " In fact most of "Dryden’s masterpieces were written in the 1680s after the Titus Oates Plot had driven the nation into hysteria against the Catholic minority with the result that thousands were imprisoned and a number including Dryden’s cousin Lord Howard were executed. From the start Dryden ridiculed the Plot fomented by the radical Whigs with all the civilized disdain he was capable of in The Spanish Fryar 1680 Absalom and Achitophel 1681 and The Medall 1682." Literary Encyclopedia As a result he became the butt of personal attacks in word and deed: an ambush in Rose Alley nearly killed him. N. B.
