Item description from seller

12mo in sixes, pp. [ii], vi, [ii], 203, [5], 207-226; with a plate after p. 203, but wanting the half title; in contemporary half calf over marbled boards, morocco label (a bit chipped), overall slightly rubbed. 'Second edition', but in fact a reissue of the first, published the same year. Little seems to be known about Andrew Hervey Mills, except that in 1755 his 'Elizabethan' ballad, Collin and Lucy, was published without his knowledge as though it were a genuinely old poem. Here he takes the opportunity to reprint it (on pp. 32-9) as his own, newly retitled Allen and Ella. I can discover very little about the author, but he seems to have been well connected, and well-travelled, having visited Geneva and Brussels, as well as Troyes: the poems in the first part here are fairly conventional love-poems, mixed with odes and Horatian imitations. Both parts of this book are addressed to one Peter Vallete, with whom he had travelled, but about him also nothing is easily discoverable. Allen and Ella was reprinted in Pearch's Collection of Poems in 1770. Provenance. Pencil inscription 'Luton' inside upper cover, which indicates that this book came from the library at Luton Hoo, seat of the Earl of Bute, who had been Prime Minister in 1762-3.
