8vo, pp. 47, [1] advertisements; with an engraved frontispiece; disbound. The last separate edition, two years after the first printing; designated by Iolo Williams 'Edition F'. The text has been entirely reset, as might be expected, with the errors in the first line of the preceding edition corrected; there is also a different…type ornament at the beginning of the poem, but curiously the list of seven titles on the final page of advertisements, dated 1729, has been retained. The 1729 12mo printing that Williams calls 'Edition E', it should be added, has now been identified by Foxon as 'printed in Edinburgh by Ruddiman on the basis of ornaments', despite retaining Gilliver's London imprint. Foxon B391.

8vo, pp. [ii], 45; plus an engraved frontispiece; in recent stiff paper wrappers. First edition. An exceptionally clever and amusing pastiche of the Ars Poetica. James Bramston (1694?-1743) was a Sussex clergyman with a reputation for wit and an ability to find favor in high places. This, his first published poem, was many times… reprinted and anthologized. The object of the satire is simple enough: to expose the absurdities of contemporary political life, as expressed in Parliament, the press, and the literary world, without favoring any particular party or faction. The poem is full of allusions to contemporary celebrities -- Walpole and Pulteney, Addison and Thomas Tickell, Jacob Tonson and Edmund Curll, and Pope, Swift, and 'Johnny Gay'. Pope had already described Bramston in his Dunciad (1728) as a clever preacher, and he has praise for this poem in one of his letters. The Latin of Horace is printed at the foot of each page; the curious frontispiece, referring to the opening lines, has the face of a man, the mane of a gelding, the feathers of a macaw, the bosom of a lady, and the tale of a cod. The first attempt to sort out the various printings of this poem was by Iolo Williams, in his Points in Eighteenth-Century Verse (pp. 63-67): 'Of all the books investigated for the purposes of the present volume, that to give the most curious result is the successful imitation of Horace's Art of Poetry written by James Bramston. Mr. P. J. Dobell was kind enough to lend me, for examination, twelve copies of the poem, Messrs. Pickering and Chatto lent me five more, and I already possessed another. What was my surprise to find, on laying these eighteen copies together, that they belonged to at least six different editions, each of which, seen by itself, might pass for the first edition.' Williams's conclusions have essentially been accepted by Foxon, though the bibliography is made somewhat more complicated by the existence of copies with mixed sheets from different impressions. This first edition is the only printing to have the text paged separately from the preliminaries (often a positive sign of precedence); the woodcut ornament on the title-page is a head with scroll-work at the sides and a dish of flowers on top. What Williams did not notice is that some copies, as here, are printed on fine paper, with an eagle and crown watermark, as opposed to the letters 'FS'. Foxon cites a corresponding notice in the Monthly Chronicle: 'There's for the curious a small number on royal paper. Price 1s. 6d.' A very good copy, from the library of John Brett-Smith, with his pencilled note (but not recognizing that this is a copy on fine paper); as often, the plate is trimmed close at the left, touching the border. Foxon B384.

8vo, pp. 19; with an engraved frontispiece; disbound. First Edinburgh edition: a pirated printing, with a false imprint. Iolo Williams was aware of this octavo edition, and describes it as follows: 'It is a cheap-looking production, having the frontispiece somewhat crudely engraved in reverse, without Van der Gucht's signature,…and can have no pretensions to being the first edition'. Bibliographers at that period, however, were wholly unaware of the great number of Edinburgh reprints in the first half of the 18th century which falsely maintained the appearance of a London origin; as Foxon points out, copies of this octavo are found bound up with other identifiable Edinburgh piracies. There are, of course, no Gilliver advertisements at the end. The fact that the phrase 'eight parts of speech' is printed in roman rather than italics may indicate that this piracy was set from a copy of the first edition. Foxon B399.

A very good clean copy. § First edition, 3rd issue (Foxon B387, Williams "D" copy). A complicated book of which there seem to be at least 6 variant issues of the fi…rst printing. This copy has the two-line rule above the imprint, ads listing 7 titles, and a partial watermark of a horse. It conforms to ESTC T66319. CR Jonson noted: "James Bramston (1694?-1743) was a Sussex clergyman with a reputation for wit and an ability to find favor in high places. This, his first published poem, was many times reprinted and anthologized.
