A propos de cet article

**Alexander Pope (1688–1744). THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE, ESQ. Volume III: Containing The Dunciad, in Four Books.** Edinburgh: Printed for J. Balfour, 1764. An attractive eighteenth-century Edinburgh edition of Alexander Pope's celebrated satirical masterpiece, *The Dunciad*, offered as Volume III only from the six-volume collected edition of his works. Published twenty years after Pope's death, this edition belongs to the Georgian tradition of printing and collecting one of England's most influential poets. *The Dunciad* is among the most important works of eighteenth-century English satire, attacking literary pretension, intellectual mediocrity, commercial publishing and cultural decline. The volume contains *The Dunciad* in four books, together with material associated with Martinus Scriblerus, Pope's fictional scholarly commentator, and accompanying explanatory and critical apparatus. The edition is bibliographically recorded as part of the 1764 Edinburgh Balfour collected works (ESTC T5443). **BINDING** Contemporary full calf leather with gilt-decorated spine. An authentic Georgian binding showing characteristic age and use, retaining considerable decorative and historical appeal. **PROVENANCE** Early handwritten ownership inscription visible on the title page, together with the later ex-libris bookplate of C. Vivian Henry. The latter is associated with the private library of Charles Vivian Henry, connected with London's historic Carlton Club. The ownership marks provide additional interest to collectors of eighteenth-century books and the history of private libraries. **CONDITION** An antique volume showing age-related rubbing, scuffing and wear to the leather boards, spine and extremities. Some surface wear and expected ageing of the binding. Internally the printed text appears generally well preserved and readable, with age toning and occasional minor marks. Please consult the accompanying photographs for the precise condition of the binding, page edges and ownership inscriptions. **IMPORTANT:** This listing is for Volume III only, not the complete six-volume Works. It is an eighteenth-century collected edition, not the original first edition of *The Dunciad*. A worthwhile acquisition for collectors of Alexander Pope, eighteenth-century English literature, Scottish printing, Georgian leather bindings, literary satire and antiquarian books. Carefully packed and dispatched from Spain. International shipping and combined postage available.…
