(738) Edwards, £14

[This corresponds with the fifth or sixth issue of the first edition, except in the following points. The word "angel" on the title is in italics, and there is a comma after Brittain. The seven leaves of Argument, etc. are completely reprinted, with many considerable variations. It is sufficient to point out that The Printer to the Reader was omitted completely; towards the end of the Argument of Book I. "councell" is altered to "councel," "palace" to "pallace." In Milton's note on "The Verse" the last words on the initial page are "longer and shorter works as have," while in all the preceding issues they are “rejected Rime both in." -Catalogue.]

Denham, £71

[This manuscript covers four closely-written small quarto pages in Pope's neat and very legible hand. It is headed, in Pope's autograph, "Alterations to the Pastorals," under which he has written ("The Solution of the Queries are written by Mr. Walsh'). Pope submitted the manuscript for criticism to William Walsh, whom Dryden calls "the best critic of the age." The manuscript consists of suggestions by the author of alternated readings of many passages, arguments and queries concerning the use of certain words

and expressions, to all of which Walsh has written in replies stating his views and preferences. Comparison with the printed version shows that Walsh's advice was followed by Pope in all points of importance. The manuscript was presented by Pope to his intimate friend Jonathan Richardson, the portrait painter, and it has remained until recently in the possession of the painter's family.-Catalogue.] 5215 Pope (Alexander).

A fine old binding. Full gilt in the panels, with multiplications of the whorl or curve moving to the right, in the spaces of which are little dots and fleurs-de-lis; on the bands a simple straight line.

The gilding inside the cover is the Padeloup form of the Boyet roulette. This is a fine
