Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 8vo (160 x 96mm). 259pp. (plus 2 for contents at end). Engraved vignettes for chapter headings. Period calf; (lacking first blank, front joint split but holding, occasional stains; spine worn, rubbed). Modern pencil ownership inscription to front pastedown "Mr. Cartwright." Famed anonymous work by Matthew Prior, important English poet and diplomat. His 35 stanzas of laureate verse celebrated the Duke of Marlborough s victory at Ramillies and marked a turning point in the Spenserian tradition. The Ode was most interesting in metrical form and like many of Prior s poems, it is in content strongest at the end. The Ode s themes combine praise of Anne and Marlborough (whom the poem treats as William s successor), mockery of Prior s panegyric talents and a wish for a lasting peace. The heroic ode avoided such narrative difficulties by appealing to the patriotic and religious sentiments that were more suitable to a modern commercial republic. Moreover, the Ode appeared the same year as William Congreve s much-admired essay (A Discourse on the Pindarique Ode) calling for regularity in the Pindaric ode; the "Prior" stanza could be used in either this sort of formal ode or in the more familiar Horatian mode. Prior chose for the poem, and defended in its preface, a modified form of the Spenserian stanza, with a less complicated rhyme scheme in the octave and a rhyming alexandrine couplet at the end. For the first time in almost a century an English poet introduced archaisms into a non-burlesque poem deliberately imitating Spenser s manner. Adaptable as it was, the new stanza did much to reintroduce alternating rhymes into several forms of English poetry, thereby making Spenser s prosody more acceptable than it had been for a long while. Important work for poetry and the 18th-century Spenserian revival.

Folio, pp. [vi], 18; a little browned, but otherwise a good copy, in modern marbled boards, red morocco label. First edition. This poem in praise of Marlborough's victories at Blenheim and Ramillies created something of a vogue for imitating Spenser, whose poetry had for some time been largely neglected. Prior later described the poem's reception in his diary: Upon the battle of Ramilies I made the ode in imitation of Spencer for which His Grace [Marlborough] returned me his particular thanks. I gave it to the Queen, who said she took it very kindly of me. The Whiggs tho' they did not openly censure this poem were no way satisfied that I had writt it; they say'd the imitation was a verse now grown obsolete, the stile a little hard, & in the meantime none of them writt, at least none of note, except Dennis, and Walsh and Roe [sic] who came out about a year after; the Tories on the other side cryed up my poem too much'. One Whig critic who questioned Prior's authorship was William Atwood, in his preface to A Modern Inscription to the Duke of Marlborough's Fame (Foxon A365.5). He judged Prior's imitation of Spenser an absurdity: 'To address her Majesty in the stile of Queen Elizabeth's reign, may be thought as much a complement, as a Jacobite lady's coming to court on an inauguration day, in a ruff and farthingal'. Provenance: bookplate of Ralph Edward Gathorne-Hardy. Foxon P1081; Horn, Marlborough: a Survey, 156.

Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. With the name "John Morrison" on the titlepage of both Volumes [possibly the 18th century - Architect John Morrison from Midleton, with a connection to Castlemartyr]. These books came subsequently from, the Library of Daniel Conner, Connerville / Bandon / Manch House in which also a set of Buffon, from the library of Richard Boyle Bernard, Dean of Leighlin and MP for Bandon Bridge was included. Provenance: John Morrison, Architect, of Midleton, Co. Cork. John Morrison, the father of RICHARD MORRISON and grandfather of WILLIAM VITRUVIUS MORRISON , was in active practice from 1760 or earlier until at least 1785. According to his grandson Dr John Morrison,(1) he came from Midleton, Co. Cork, and was himself the son of an architect; he was 'as celebrated for his mathematical and scientific as for his architectural abilities' and 'realized a handsome fortune by the exercise of his profession, which however he squandered away with the recklessness which characterized the age and province in which he lived'. The anonymous writer of an anecdotal sketch of Richard Morrison in the Irish Builder,(2) gives a slightly different impression: 'His [Richard's] father also was an architect - John Morrison or Morris or Morrisy - used indifferently by persons in the locality, according to their social position, the son being sometimes known by a different one to his father's, cut on a tombstone. It was thought about Castlemartyr, from which John migrated to Dublin, that he changed his name when he changed his route to his final destination. He had the patronage of his neighbouring magnate, Lord Shannon, who some, uncharitably, thought was paternally related to him.'(3) Dr John Morrison's memoir records that the second Earl of Shannon, and Hon. Frederick Augustus Hervey, Bishop of Cloyne (the future Earl Bishop of Derry) were sponsors at the christening of Richard Morrison, who was born in 1767, and that the Earl later found a position for Richard in the Ordnance Department. In 1760 John Morrison proposed publishing by subscription 'The Practical Builder's Architect and Workman's Assistant', which was to appear in two volumes. Nothing came of this proposal, but his 'Essay on the Convenience, Strength and Beauty which should be connected in all private and public buildings' was published in the Dublin Magazine of September 1764.(4) According to McParland, Morrison charged fees of five percent or six percent if he had to travel, 'an unusual step in the ambiguous word of contracting and building in provincial Ireland in the 1770s'.(5) Yet although Dr John Morrison claimed in 1843 that 'Numerous specimens of his taste and professional ability still exist' in the south of Ireland, the projects for which documentary evidence has been found, seem to have been largely unexecuted.(6) In 1793 and 1794 a person of this name was a subscriber to the Anthologia Hibernica; as Richard Morrison published his 'Observations on the Giant's Causeway' in that periodical in 1793, it seems at least possible that the subscriber was his father. John Morrison died in 1802, his wife Elizabeth in 1793. The number of their children is not recorded, but , in addition to Richard, they had at least one daughter, Maria, who died in 1784. These dates are inscribed on the table tomb of a James Barry (d. 1766) and his son James (d.1764) in the graveyard of Ballyoughtera Church of Ireland church in the demesne of Castlemartyr House, Co. Cork.(6) The tomb of early nineteenth-century neo-Classical appearance and the inscription were executed for a son or daughter of John Morrison, very probably for Richard Morrison himself, but the nature of the connection between the Barrys and the Morrisons is not known.

(3) If there is any foundation for this rumour, John Morrison would presumably have been a son of Henry Boyle, 1st Earl of Shannon (1682-1764) and half-brother of Richard Boyle, 2nd Earl of Shannon (1727-1807).
