Edition originale
Small 8vo in fours (150 x 90mm), pp. xiv, [ii], 83; a good copy in contemporary Scottish sheep, spine with morocco label, but a little chipped at foot. First edition. A selection of poetry collected by David Dalrymple, later to become famous not only as a lawyer but as a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. The poetry is mostly contemporary or quite recent: Pope, Doddridge, Needler, Blacklock, and Thomson. There are, however, a few earlier poets, including Milton (p. 31) and Donne (p. 53). Interestingly, in his preface, Dalrymple apologises for Donne's rendition of Psalm 137: it 'may, in the ears of many persons, sound uncouth: but to those who consider in what times it was written, this defect will appear less remarkable. The nervous expression, and the manly sense of the whole, will more than excuse those blemishes, which are to be imputed not so much to the author, as to the times in which he flourished' (p. x).

FIRST FOULIS EDITION. Small 8vo, 160 x 93 mms., pp. [xviii], 151 [152 errata], later 18th century polished calf, gilt borders on covers, gilt spine; lacks label, upper and lower joints very slightly cracked, but a good copy. The Monthly Review noticed the work in 1763 (Volume 27): "We have always considered James as the most beastly Monarch that ever disgraced the throne of this kingdoms; and this Collection affords a new and most remarkable instance of the most shocking depravity of his taste and manners. As to the rest of the original letters, &c contained in this small volume, most of them certainly deserve the notice of the public. There are several written by the celebrated Bacon, and other eminent personages of those days; but it will exercise the reader's patience or sensibility, to bear with the continued repetition of such preposterous, fulsome, and slavish flattery as he will meet with in almost every Memorial, Letter, &c addressed to the British Solomon.-- In truth the English do not seem to have been the same kind of people in James's time as both their forefathers and their posterity were, nor to have been animated with the smallest spark of that glorious spirit of freedom they have since so nobly manifested on those GREAT OCCASIONS, which it is hoped that neither British Subject nor British Kings will ever forget." Gaskell 405. See also the letter from Robert Foulis to James Boswell, dated 8 Mah 1767, pages 397 - 398 in Gaskell.

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 12mo, 158 x 91 mms., pp. [v] vi - xx], 120, including half-title, contemporary calf, red leather; some repairs to front joint, but with rubbing present. A good copy. "Sarah Churchill was a woman of extraordinary energy and vibrancy and a brilliant and forthright intellect. Her long and devoted marriage to John Churchill, and her close association with Queen Anne, set her amid many of the most tumultuous events in British history at a time when the doting queen would have refused her dearest friend almost nothing. For all the turbulence and exasperation that her conduct frequently caused him, Sarah was the first duke of Marlborough's inspiration and he looked to her for approval. It is arguable that without the goad of her spirited influence he would not have risen so far or so fast. Sarah prided herself on her sense of logic, but her extraordinarily stubborn nature was not receptive to reasoned argument by others, with the occasional exception of her husband. This robust quality was of immense value when she was right, but quite disastrous when wrong, and her brusque temper contributed enormously to the eventual breach with Anne and her failure to exert enduring political influence in the reigns of George I and George II. She was too self-righteous to maintain a position at court through flattery and dissimulation, but her ambition and ability kept her near the centre of British political life for seventy years." James Falkner, OxfordDNB. Sources.

Edition originale
David Dalrymple, third baronet, Lord Hailes (1726-1792) was a Scottish advocate, judge, and historian. His best known work was his Annals of Scotland (1776-9). In the present work, he attacked Gibbon over his account of the effect of Christianity on the decline of the Roman empire. Controversial when it was published, it was a minor blow in the ongoing controversy between theological traditionalists such as Hailes and more liberal thinkers, led by David Hume. Quarto. [4], 214 pp. With the printed presentation leaf to Richard Bishop of Worcester, before the title-page. Contemporary marbled boards, rebacked and recornered in recent calf, gilt flat spine with burgundy morocco label. Verso of title-page with two old rubberstamps of St. Andrews University, one for deaccession. A very good copy. First edition.
