4to, pp. [iv], 20; bound in full polished calf, gilt, spine and inner dentelles gilt, red morocco label, by Riviere. A fine large copy, with outer edges untrimmed, but with some pale waterstains. First edition. William Shippen 1675-1745) received his degree from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1694, and was called to the bar in 16…99. In the early years of the reign of Anne he became much involved in the increasingly contentious world of politics, and sought to establish himself as a Tory polemicist. This poem, depicting the junto lords as conspirators in the manner of Catiline, was his first publication, and it appears to have attracted a good deal of attention, as a reply from the Whigs appeared almost immediately. The piece was at first widely attributed to Matthew Prior, who explicitly denied having anything to do with it, but Shippen's authorship is confirmed by Giles Jacob, and by Alexander Pope, in a note in his copy of A New Collection of Poems relating to State Affairs (1705), now in the British Library. Pope later came to know Shippen well, when he was a leader of the Jacobite party in House of Commons. An early owner has identified a passage on p. 15, characterising 'Bibliopolo' the bookseller, as referring to Jacob Tonson. Foxon S427.

No Binding. Condición: Fair. London, Printed in the Year 1704; 4to, pp [iv], 20, 160x210mm; disbound from some volume and with the first two leaves nearly separated from the remainder which is, however, complete although also loose in parts; somewhat browned and with dust and other soiling and some old marks of water staining; t…here are generous foredge, binding and foot margins but the top has been cut rather close in the last three leaves (pp 15 to 20). Shippen was a Tory MP and a Jacobite, acting as a link between the Scottish and English adherents. The poem is an anti-Whig polemic specifically targeting the powerful Whig bookseller Jacob Tonson. This is an interesting copy in that there are some 18 very early, perhaps contemporary, annotations in the margins identifying the various people and places mentioned pseudonymously in the poem.
