Octavo 4 volumes bound in full contemporary tree calf gilt titles and tooling to the spine red morocco spine labels gilt ruled marbled endpapers ribbons bound in all edges speckled brown engraved frontispiece to two volumes. In near fine condition. A desirable example. First published in 1667 "Paradise Lost is generally conceded to be one of the greatest poems in the English language; and there is no religious epic in English which measures up to Milton's masterpiece. Milton performed an artist's service to his God" Magill 511 515. The writer and critic Samuel Johnson wrote that Paradise Lost shows off "Milton's peculiar power to astonish" and that "Milton seems to have been well acquainted with his own genius and to know what it was that Nature had bestowed upon him more bountifully than upon others: the power of displaying the vast illuminating the splendid enforcing the awful darkening the gloomy and aggravating the dreadful." By 1688 when England was on the verge of the Whig revolution Milton's reputation had revived considerably. He was commended for his republicanism as well as his record as a defender of liberty. His supporters believed that his greatest poetic achievement merited this handsome monumental edition. One of the earliest examples of subscription publishing financed by Lord Somers the fourth edition of Paradise Lost was the first to be printed in folio format and is the first illustrated edition distinguished by high quality paper large clear type and ample margins. Milton had previously reorganized the poem into twelve books by splitting Books 7 and 10 of the original to parallel Virgil's Aeneid more closely. Printed for J.F. and C. Rivington et al unknown books
