THE JUNTO A POEM

Descripción

[6],46pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Loose, somewhat tanned at edges and modestly used, very faint offset from ms. note on a formerly adjacent item to terminal page. About good. A reissue of the first edition of the poem originally published as THE IMPEACHMENT: OR, THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT, with a new half-title, title, Preface and pp. [1]-2 of the text. Madan comments about the original issue: "This poem of some 750 lines narrates events from the St. Paul's sermon to the attempted assassination of Harley in March 1711 and his subsequent elevation to the peerage as Lord Oxford. Its theme is that Sacheverell rescued Church and State from the danger threatened by the Whigs." On occasion, the attribution is to "David" Russell, but Foxon and ESTC revise the attribution to "Richard." MADAN/SPECK 1055. ESTC T94037. FOXON R334.5. N° de ref. del artículo WRCLIT88812
