1777AQ30003Bath: Printed by R. Crutwell for the Author 1777. 6 5-55pp 1. Modern green wrappers. Book-label of J. O. Edwards to verso of upper wrapper. Small marginal worm-track running throughout blank lower margin of leaf F1 shaved ink-stamps of Merton House to terminal leaf scattered spotting. The sole edition of the first published work of historian and poet Richard Polwhele 1760-1838. Born at Truro Cornwall Polwhele began to write poetry when about twelve years old. His juvenile production received praise most notably from satirist John Wolcot bap. 1738 d. 1819 then a resident of Truro. The flattery of friends encouraged him to publish The Fate of Lewellyn under the moniker of 'a young gentleman of Truro School' whereupon a critic for the Monthly Review quipped that the master of the school should have kept it in manuscript. The volume did nothing to further his career indeed it gave him the reputation of an unpromising poet - a reputation he was fortunately able to shake off with later efforts. ESTC T109007.

Your own and your brother's wedding at once will not only doubly crown the day but give promise to multiplied successive anniversaries. unknown
