8vo, pp. 34; [ii], 128, [2], [1] errata, [1] advertisements; pp. 33-34 misbound after p. [16], but quite complete; in a new binding of quarter morocco over marbled boards. First edition of this collection by the hack writer Major Richardson Pack (d. 1728): a previous collection of 'Misccellanies in Prose and Verse' had also been published by Curll in 1719. This is indeed a 'new collection', consisting entirely of material previously uncollected, and dedicated to the Duke of Argyll. The text begins with an adaptation of Catullus 1 ('Ad libellum'), followed by a group of commendatory poems, including 'The Muse's Choice; or, the Progress of Wit', by William Bond, another writer from the Curll stable. Pack's own poems include translations from Horace, Catullus, and Tibullus, and a group of occasional pieces written in Bury St. Edmunds, one of which is a 'Prologue to the Merry Wives of Windsor, acted by the young gentlemen of Bury School' (1723). Of particular interest is an essay at the end by John Dennis, entitled 'Some remarkable passages in the life of Mr. Wycherley', which is addressed to Pack himself and apparently arose out of the previous collection - at the end, the piece is dated September 1720. Foxon p. 548. In this copy two leaves paginated [31]-34, and signed C1-2, are bound out of sequence between sigs. A and B. Although clearly incorrect, this makes some kind of sense, because they carry verses addressed to Pack by Charles Beckingham and two others, and might be thought to form part of the preliminary matter rather than the main section of the book. The sheets of this book were reissued by Curll after Pack's death, as part of The Whole Works of Major Richardson Pack (1729).

Two works in one volume, 8vo, pp. [viii], vi, [ii], 64, 63-126, [2], [139]-158, [2], 159-190; viii, 8, [8], 75, [1]; iii, [i], 19, [1] advertisement; in contemporary panelled calf, spine gilt, red morocco label (joints cracked, upper cover coming loose). 'Second edition', but in fact a re-issue of the sheets of Curll's second edition of 1719, with the insertion of Pack's Life of T. P. Atticus, which had also been published separately by Curll the same year. The number of copies provided by Curll to the bookseller John Hooke must have been small, as they are now very rare; there is no listing at all for this issue in the ESTC, but Foxon notes copies at the Clark Library and Virginia. Foxon p. 548 (with Foxon P9).

Two works in one volume, 8vo, pp. [viii], vi, [ii], 64, 63-126, [2], [139]-158, [2], 159-190; iii, [i], 19, [1] advertisement; a nice copy in contemporary speckled calf, spine with plain gilt lines, a bit rubbed but in attractive original condition. Second edition, considerably enlarged: first published earlier the same year. The text of the first edition has been entirely reset, with new ornaments throughout; the order of the poems has been slightly altered, and a number of substantial notes added. A commendatory poem, signed with initials only in the first edition, is now been identified as by George Sewell. The new material at the end includes a section of translations from Catullus, Tibullus, and Ovid, prefaced by a brief 'Essay upon the Roman Elegiac Poets', along with two occasional poems, and a biographical sketch of William Wycherley. Religion and Philosophy was no doubt issued separately, as a collection of six short poems: the binding up of these sheets with a related title is typical of Curll. Foxon p. 548 (with Foxon P9). Provenance: early signature 'Ar. Tremayne' on front pastedown.

Large 8vo, pp. 34, 128, [2], [1] errata, [1] advertisements; without the second title page clearly cancelled from this copy, as no stub is visible; nicely bound in contemporary calf, covers panelled in gilt, spine gilt, red morocco label (a little rubbed, small crack at top of upper joint). First edition, and a large-paper copy, on unwatermarked paper: copies on ordinary paper have a watermark with initials. This is in fact a 'new collection', consisting entirely of material previously uncollected, and dedicated to the Duke of Argyll. The text begins with an adaptation of Catullus 1 ('Ad libellum'), followed by a group of commendatory poems, including 'The Muse's Choice; or, the Progress of Wit', by William Bond, another writer from the Curll stable. Major Pack's own poems include translations from Horace, Catullus, and Tibullus, and a group of occasional pieces written in Bury St. Edmunds, one of which is a 'Prologue to the Merry Wives of Windsor, acted by the young gentlemen of Bury School' (1723). Of particular interest is an essay at the end by John Dennis, entitled 'Some remarkable passages in the life of Mr. Wycherley'. Copies on ordinary paper have a separate title-page to 'The Life of Miltiades', but there is no sign of one ever having been bound in here. Foxon p. 548. Very scarce: ESTC lists only seven copies.
