8vo, pp. xxviii, 223; contemporary panelled calf, upper joint cracked but holding; later morocco label on spine, and gilt crest at foot of spine/ First and only edition: a posthumous publication of work by Sir John Denham (1615-69). It seems to have been rescued from oblivion because it had come to the notice of Samuel Woodforde, who had been a university contemporary of Denham's son: this young man, also John, who perhaps died young, may have passed it to Woodford. In any case, this edition was published by Samuel's son Heighes Woodford (1663-1725), who was a cleric and vicar of Epsom, Surrey: he dedicates the book to the Earl of Derby, who was married to Denham's granddaughter. Well before its publication, however, Denham's version had effectively been overtaken by the famous metrical version by Tate and Brady (1696), which is perhaps why it was never reprinted. Nevertheless, it repays reading, if only for Denham's own preface, here on pp. xiii-xxviii.…
