A propos de cet article

Two parts, 4to, pp. 24; 24; a bit stained on title page and last page of each part; disbound. Parts X-XI of an amusing periodical in verse, published in twelve numbers, under various titles, in 1708-9; each number sold for sixpence. The individual numbers of this miscellany are very rare: the only complete set recorded by the ESTC is one at the Turnbull Library, which has an additional general title-page, dated 1710. The single number which survives with most frequency is Part I, entitled Satyrical Reflections on the Vices and Follies of the Age: of this, ESTC lists seven copies. Parts II-VIII were called Reflections, Moral, Comical, Satyrical; of these, ESTC reports runs at the Bodleian and Folger, along with copies of Parts II, III, IV, and VII at the British Library and the Library of Congress, and a copy of Part IV at Michigan. Parts IX-XII were called, as here, Poetical Reflexions: of these, ESTC lists a set at Folger, as well as Parts IX-X at the Bodleian, Part X at Cambridge, and Part XI at McMaster. Not recorded by Case; CBEL II 345.
