63471R. Carruthers. Inverness. 1829. . pp. vi 268. Contemporary half roan and marbled boards partially uncut a bit rubbed along corners and edges a very good copy. SCARCE - only 6 copies of this title recorded at major auctions since 1977. A manuscript note on the front end-paper records - 'Hugh Miller's first publication. 'Copies were bought up and destroyed by the author. Scarce.' John Whitefoord Mackenzie's cata: 1886.' I have not seen this statement in any of the biographical material on Miller. In his postscript TO THE READER in the above Miller writes - 'Like a true Utopian I value myself more on what I am yet to do than upon what I have already done. I believe myself possessed of a natural turn for poetry and by the publication of this volume I ask the wise and the literate if my opinion be just.'. Sadly received opinion did not support Miller in his. This book of poems mostly published in the Inverness Courier was not well regarded and backed up Miller's own later suspicion of his talents expressed towards the end of Letter - ' But it is possible that I have completely failed in poetry. It may appear that while grasping at originality of description and sentiment and striving to attain propriety of expression I have only been depicting common images and embodying obvious thoughts and this too in inelegant language. Possible have I said ! nay it is probable.' One critic was blunt - We are glad to understand that our author has the good sense to rely more on his chisel than the Muses.' GEORGE ROSIE Hugh Miller Outrage and Order. SEE also MACKENZIE Hugh Miller A Critical Study p.49 - 'The Poems. present a striking contrast to his prose. The two possess scarcely a feature in common. The poems have but rarely any imaginative interest and sink under a weight of moral judgement and religious profession. Cold print unsealed Miller's eyes to their defects. He published them in a fit of pique at editorial neglect - 'It would have been a greatly wiser act. had I put them in the fire instead.' ' R. Carruthers. Inverness. 1829. hardcover

1731BB2387London: printed for Lawton Gilliver at Homer's Head against St. Dunstan's church in Fleetstreet 1731. Marbled Wrappers. Near Fine. Scarce First Edition written in 56 stanzas of rhyming verse of this satirical poem. Foxson's second state no known priority: correct catchword on p. 57 and p. 58 correctly numbered. Crown 8vo 189 x 122mm: 10591pp with folding engraved frontispiece and woodcut initials and ornaments. Later marbled wrappers paper label printed in red and black to front cover title page printed in red and black with bust vignette of Horace. A beautifully preserved copy tightly bound and clean throughout. Foxon M251. Miller was a playwright whose own works were performed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and who adapted plays by Molière and other French dramatists for the London stage. He only revealed his authorship of this work in the fourth edition of 1735. Harlequin-Horace is a "witty inversion of the Ars poetica attacking pantomime and opera and exuberantly depicting a topsy-turvy theatrical world. Alexander Pope approved as did his disciples on the Grub-Street Journal . . . . The poem lampooned the Italian operas of Handel but Miller admired the sacred oratorios in English and himself furnished the libretto for Joseph and his Brethren." ODNB N. B.
