Edition originale
4to, pp. xvi, 502, [2]; bound in contemporary calf (spine scuffed, joints cracked but firm, remains of brown morocco label). First edition. A handsome collected edition of Moore's works, as he acknowledges in his preface: 'Upon the whole I have sent this my offspring into the world in as decent a dress as I was able'. Edward Moore (1712-1757), the son of a dissenting minister in Abingdon, received a good classical education, but decided as a young man to set up in business as a linen draper. When this venture failed, he turned to literature as a vocation, as a poet, journalist, and writer for the stage. Some of his works achieved a degree of popularity, but he had little financial success, and died in poverty a year after this book was published. The volume begins with six poems, including one addressed to Garrick and one to Garrick's wife; these are followed by Moore's 'Fables for the Ladies', first published in 1744 as Fables for the Female Sex. At the end are Moore's three plays, in all of which Garrick was involved; there is also a section of shorter miscellaneous poems and songs, several of which are printed here for the first time. With a seven-page list of subscribers, including Garrick, Lord Chesterfield, Horace Walpole, Richard Owen Cambridge, Charles Churchill, Edward Young and a few other names one recognises but on the whole the subscribers come from the nobility and wealthy merchant class, rather than literary society.
