In den WarenkorbSmall 8vo in fours (150 x 90mm), pp. xiv, [ii], 83; a good copy in contemporary Scottish sheep, spine with morocco label, but a little chipped at foot. First edition. A selection of poetry collected by David Dalrymple, later to become famous not only as a lawyer but as a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. The poetry i…s mostly contemporary or quite recent: Pope, Doddridge, Needler, Blacklock, and Thomson. There are, however, a few earlier poets, including Milton (p. 31) and Donne (p. 53). Interestingly, in his preface, Dalrymple apologises for Donne's rendition of Psalm 137: it 'may, in the ears of many persons, sound uncouth: but to those who consider in what times it was written, this defect will appear less remarkable. The nervous expression, and the manly sense of the whole, will more than excuse those blemishes, which are to be imputed not so much to the author, as to the times in which he flourished' (p. x).
