8vo, pp. [iv], 2498, [1] blank, [1] advertisement; top edge gilt, otherwise untrimmed in later half calf, spine with morocco label. Sole edition. This book, on Milton's supposed debt to Joshua Sylvester's translation of Salluste du Bartas, is by the Rev. Charles Dunster (1750-1816), who was rector of Petworth, Sussex, and thus a protégé of Lord Egremont. Milton seems to have been something of an obsession for Dunster: apart from publishing his own edition of Paradise Regained the same year (issued by the same group of booksellers), he also published a poetical satire titled St James's Street (1790) under the pseudonym 'Marmaduke Milton'. Provenance. This is a presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the endpaper 'To Dr Vaughan, with Mr Dunster's Compts.' This is likely to be in the hand of a publisher's clerk. A note in ink at the foot of p. 229, on the folio editions of Spenser of 1609 and 1612, is probably by the recipient.

Zustand: Old folds, fine. 1p. Pen and ink on vellum with wax seal, docketed on verso. 1 vols. 14 x 6-1/2 inches. An important Somerset County document relating to the colonial history of New Jersey. Reading in part: ": from the day before the daye hereof, for and during and until the whole end and term of one year next ensuing, and fully to compleat and ended, yielding and paying therefor (sic) the rent of one pepper corn at the feats of St. Michael ." The land in the Raritan Valley of New Jersey, encompassing what is now Somerset County, was acquired by the East Jersey proprietors in the 1680s, through several purchases from its Native American owners. The land conveyed in our indenture is half of lot No.55 of the Second Indian Title, which was surveyed for Lord Neil Campbell, a Scottish nobleman who served as Deputy Governor of East New Jersey during 1686. The land was subsequently acquired by East Jersey Proprietor, and Perth Amboy merchant Charles Dunster, Esq. (d.1727) Other signatures include: Alexander Mackdowell, and Michael Kearney, Treasurer of the Eastern Division of New Jersey, who was also the son-in-law of New Jersey Colonial Governor Lewis Morris. 1p. Pen and ink on vellum with wax seal, docketed on verso. 1 vols. 14 x 6-1/2 inches.

4to, pp. [iv], 38; disbound. First and only edition. A topographical and topical poem by the Rev. Charles Dunster (1750-1816), who was rector of Petworth, Sussex, and thus a protégé of Lord Egremont. The inspiration for a composition in blank verse as well as the pseudonym came from Milton himself, in whom Dunster had an academic interest: he produced an annotated edition of Paradise Regained in 1795, and wrote also on Milton's supposed debt to Joshua Sylvester. From the fact that the poem was available from a St James's Street bookseller, Elizabeth Harlow, one can suppose that the habitués as well as the denizens of the street found the treatment of their locality flattering rather than biting. St James's Street had become fashionable, along with the rest of the area, after the redevelopment that began in the 1660s, and by the later 18th century the street was where the most socially-elevated clubs, shops and gaming-houses were to be found. Dunster who never married praises the beautiful women to be found there, but deplores the 'needless Ornament' of cosmetics and showy clothes, and admires in particular a flower-girl whom he celebrates as 'the Flora of St James's Street' in a rhyming section of some fifty lines in the middle of the poem (pp. 28-31). Otherwise he notes, without the condemnation that one might expect, the way in which the ladies are beginning to 'usurp the Whip and boldly grasp the Reins. with manly fortitude'. He also admires the fashionable gentlemen and the well-dressed servants, and, in a line which indicates class-distinction as well as colour barriers, comments on black footmen: . Sometimes at their head, Index of Rank or Opulence supreme, A sable Youth from Æthiopia's climes, In milk-white Turban dight, precedes the Train. (p. 14) This is quite a scarce poem: ESTC locates just four copies in the UK (BL, Cambridge, Durham and Bodleian), and six in the USA (Duke, Harvard, Huntington, Newberry, Penn and Yale).
