Erstausgabe
Six parts bound in one, Second edition of part one (the first edition having appeared in folio format), First editions of parts two - six. Frontispiece (bound in at font from part five). 4to. [2] 30; [3] - 44, [3] - 34; [2], 47, [1]; [3] - 60; v, [1, blank], 42, [2, advertisements] pp. Contemporary mottled calf, spine with five raised bands, second compartment lettered in gilt to red label, all others decorated in gilt, covers with double gilt fillet borders. London, Dodsley and Cooper. Pursuing ?consolation for the loss of his stepdaughter in 1736 and his wife and son-in-law in 1740, Young wrote The Complaint, or, Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, and Immortality (1742?6), arguably the century's greatest long poem. Its nine 'Nights', issued serially in quartos tending to greater length, total nearly 10,000 lines of blank verse. The first of these maintain the quasi-autobiographical fiction of a nocturnal speaker lamenting the loss of child, spouse, and friend and finding Christian consolation.? (ODNB). ?With the first Nights immensely popular (Nights 1?5 all quickly required multiple editions), Young was induced to restate copiously and refine his points, overextending the work until its popularity fell off, though recent criticism has focused on these later Nights. Over 100 collected editions of the Night-Thoughts were published in the next five decades, including translations in most European languages, many in German. [?] read closely by Wordsworth and Coleridge, the poem remained popular among middle-class readers well into the 1800s.? (ODNB). The title page for the fourth part is bound in at the front of this copy, it being the ?general? red and black title page which was probably intended to be prefixed to collections when the fourth part was published. Thomas Hammond Foxcroft?s book plate to front paste-down. A good copy, boards and hinges rubbed and scuffed, corners bumped, and hinges rubbed.

Folio, pp. 20; full marbled calf, gilt, spine and inner dentelles gilt, by Riviere (spine a bit worn, upper joint weak); in a cloth slipcase. First edition. The first of nine installments of Night-Thoughts, arguably the greatest, or at least the most influential, long poem of the 18th century; in time Young's masterpiece, a quasi-autobiographical narrative in blank verse, would be illustrated by Blake and read with close attention by Wordsworth and Coleridge, and it remained popular throughout the 19th century. This first 'night' was published shortly after Young had turned 59, when many assumed his literary career was near its end; in fact he continued to publish for another two decades. This was the only part to be printed as a folio, as all subsequent parts were issued in a quarto format. As a result, the original printing is comparatively rare, and has long been difficult to acquire, in much the same way as Thomson's Winter, which was also the only folio poem in a series. Foxon Y24; Hayward 165; Rothschild 2619. ESTC now lists fourteen copies in eleven libraries; there are also copies in the Forster collection at the Victoria and Albert and the Robert H. Taylor collection at Princeton. This copy has a distinguished lineage of owners: it bears the bookplates of John Gribbel, Clarence S. Bement, David and Lulu Borowitz, and H. Bradley Martin; no other copy has appeared on the market since the Martin sale in 1990. An unidentified early reader has made a few manuscript 'improvements', most notably the alteration of the last word in line 42 from 'Woe' to 'Grief', presumably because 'Woe' is also the last word in line 45; Young himself soon observed this infelicity (or misprint?), but chose instead to change the first use of 'Woe' to 'Soul'.
