Small 4to (approx. 190 x 145mm), pp. 4; caption title only, with large headpiece on p. 1; cut for folding into a tract volume in lower inside margin; creased; disbound. Sole edition. A poem lamenting the suffering of the Scots, and rejoicing in the acquittal of Archibald Stewart, who had been provost of Edinburgh at the time of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. Stewart had refused to arm the city, making possible its occupation by the Jacobite Highland army. When he was subsequently tried for neglect and misbehaviour in the execution of his office, he was defended by David Hume's friend James Ferguson. Although Stewart escaped conviction, Hume was so distressed by the vindictive nature of the prosecution that he wrote a long pamphlet in Ferguson's defence. Hume was, of course, no Jacobite himself, nor, would it appear, was the writer of this poem, who signs himself 'Philibert'. Stewart is exonerated not because he had wanted the Jacobite occupation of Edinburgh to succeed, but because he acted to save the city 'from the Highland rage'. 'Assoilzie' is the Scots form of the English word 'assoil', meaning to forgive or pardon. Foxon P525, recording five locations (Bodleian, NLS, Durham, Mitchell Library and Huntington); ESTC adds several more in the UK but only one (at Duke) elsewhere.

4to, pp. 4; caption title on page 1; a bit creased, and with some staining on second leaf; in later grey wrappers. First and only edition. An anti-Hanoverian protest against the election of Sir Charles Gilmour, in January 1744, which was seen as a betrayal of Scottish interests: The Day is come, and Freedom is decay'd, Now must not flourish, but must droop her Head, And in a shameful slavish Yoke must break The gall'd, the fetter'd Caledonia's Neck. This piece is signed 'Scoticus'. On the last two pages is a prose piece by Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, 'Old England's Te Deum', by Sir Charles Hanbury Williams. Foxon P613 has just three locations (BL, NLS and Mitchell); ESTC adds a few more in the UK, but only one (at Yale) elsewhere.
Edité par Edinburgh: printed by Donald Murchieson for Fergus Philabeg near the Royal Exchange, 1749
Vendeur : Christopher Edwards ABA ILAB, Henley-on-Thames, OXON, Royaume-Uni
4to, pp. 24; a fine large copy, with outer edges uncut; in new red quarter morocco, spine lettered in gilt. First and only edition of a very rare Jacobite poem in praise of the Young Pretender, almost certainly, as Foxon points out, printed surreptitiously in London; the format is very uncharacteristic of Scottish verse at this period, and the names in the imprint are clearly imaginary. The poet has not been identified; he has written in blank verse, in the Virgilian epic manner, with the opening lines a pastiche of the first lines of the Aeneid. A great many of the proper names have been printed as blanks. The title of the poem clearly recalls Ralph Griffith's prose work, Ascanius, or the Young Adventurer (1746). In this copy there are small MS corrections at lines 8, 61, 69, 86, 185, 200 and 220: similar corrections are found in the copy at Harvard, and are no doubt authorial. Foxon M81, locating copies at the NLS, Mitchell Library and Leeds; ESTC adds copies at the British Library and Harvard. Provenance: from the celebrated Scottish library of the 17th Earl of Perth, sold at Christie's in 2004.
