Half title, front. & p lates. Orig. dark blue cloth; spine sl. dulled. Bookplate of William Boyman Nowell. Edward Ward, 1667-1731, the poet and satirist, is probably best remembered for 'The London Spy' 1698-1703, of which this is a version "suitable for general reading".

First published in 1731 as The ambitious father: or, the politician's advice to his son . Our copy was published the same year as the London edition of 1741.

Each leaf measures 190 x 120 mm. Foxon W46.5.

8vo in fours, pp. 43; disbound. Second edition, enlarged: first printed earlier the same year. 'Although called an impression, this is apparently a new edition, though standing type may have been used in it' (Foxon). In fact the type appears to have been reset throughout, though the printer's ornaments, on the title-page, first page of text, and the last page, are the same. The most striking feature of this new edition is that the lines are much more closely spaced, and as a result, although the number of pages in the two editions is approximately the same, the text has been significantly expanded with, as the title-page indicates, 'additional characters'. These occur for the most part on pp. 21-27, where are described for the first time 'a broken leather-selling Round-head', 'a famous brewer', 'an independent wizard', 'a Presbyterian shot-man', etc. Also new to this edition is a passage beginning at the foot of p. 41, and occupying almost all of p. 42. Foxon notes another edition very similar to this one, but printed on cheaper paper and undoubtedly a piracy; in that printing the catchword on p. 42 is 'Tho' as opposed to 'The' in the present edition. Several leaves loose at the beginning, old tape residue along the blank inner margin of the title-page, otherwise a good copy. A contemporary owner has noted Ward's authorship on the title, and has added the word 'Read'; he has also identified many of the 'characters' who appear in the text. Foxon W157.

8vo in fours, pp. 44; a little dusty on title and last page, else a good copy; in recent marbled boards. First edition. A political poem, describing the triumphant return of Marlborough to London after the death of Queen Anne. Ward begins with a eulogy to the late Queen, but most of the poem is devoted to a burlesque account of the throng accompanying Marlborough. 'It provides us with some interesting sidelights on the state of the public mind and the journey itself. Ward himself had earlier sung the praises of the duke, but the antipathy of the Tory party to the captain-general had long since changed the heart of many an honest layman, and Ward now repeats the current rumors and prejudice' (Troyer). Foxon W155; Troyer, pp. 104-6 and 263; Bond, English Burlesque Poetry: 1700-1750, 38; Horn, Marlborough, 476.

8vo in fours, pp. 64; recent half calf and marbled boards, red morocco label. First edition: an important Ned Ward title, written relatively late in his career, during his fifth year as the proprietor of the Bacchus Tavern. The poem is a bitter attack on the system of the closed or select vestry; the immediate inspiration was a dispute which had arisen in the parish of St. Botolph's. 'The nature of the attack, with its individualized portraits of the members of the vestry, made it a hazardous undertaking. Neither the author's name nor that of the printer appears on the title-page; nor is the parish under attack directly identified' (Troyer, who has a long discussion of the poem). Troyer ascribes this poem to Ward on internal evidence; he was not aware of its reissue in a later collected edition. Foxon W136; Troyer, pp. 178-188 and 260; Bond, English Burlesque Poetry, 1700-1750, 70.

8vo, pp. [ii], 28; recent marbled boards, red morocco label. First edition of a bawdy poem about a woman who habitually cheats on her husband, and is found out; she suffers no ill consequences, however, as the cuckold is a drunk. The 'northern' setting of this poem is not specified, and is possibly nothing more than prejudice against the Scots. Foxon W127; Troyer, p. 259.

Three volumes, 8vo, pp. [ii], x, [xvi], 207; [ii], 207-451; [viii], 453-862; with 84 (out of the correct number of 85) engraved portraits, and three folding maps; neatly bound in polished panelled calf gilt by Bedford, spines elaborately gilt with red morocco labels; edges gilt, marbled endpapers. First edition. Ned Ward's versification of Clarendon's History was perhaps his single most ambitious project, and it is said to have cost well over five hundred pounds to produce. The scheme, however, was misconceived, and met with little success; Ward himself later described the venture as 'an unprecedented poem. troublesome, tedious, and unprofitable'. The many portraits were engraved by Vertue and Vander Gucht. This set unaccountably lacks a portrait of the Earl of Lindsey, called for in the list of plates to face p. 399; it is otherwise in fine condition, in an attractive collector's binding of the later 19th century. Foxon W80; Troyer pp. 107 and 240. Provenance. Bookplates of Frank Linsey James, and of West Dean. This set must therefore have belonged to Frank James and then to his nephew, the wealthy art patron Edward Frank Willis James (1907-84), of West Dean Park.

Two volumes in one, 8vo, pp. [ii], 72; [ii], 3, 6-71, [1]; 40; modern marbled boards, red morocco label. Second edition of part I, first edition of part II; the first part was originally published in 1721. After moving to the Bacchus Tavern in 1717 Ned Ward published relatively little for a few years, but by 1721 he had taken up his pen again, and had begun to produce the sort of rambling verse narratives that had proved successful in the past. Troyer describes the present effort as follows: 'A burlesque account of a trip he and a friend by the name of Will, who kept a tavern and billiard hall at the sign of the Lamb and Crown in Long Alley, had taken to Bromley earlier in the summer. In characteristic manner he records his observations and experiences; the Quaker maids in full skirts without hoops or laces in the shops along Gracechurch Street, the lobster stalls on Fishstreet Hill, the tottering wooden houses of London Bridge, the broom men, butchers, and cutlers of Southwark's market district, the tavern incidents and adventures along the way, and a rather detailed description of the country house of his host and the rural sports of rabbit and deer hunting, which the latter provided for his guests'. At the end of Part II, prior to the account of a Southwark election, is a notice specifically disowning a recently published prose pamphlet called Whipping Tom (1722), which was then being sold as one of his productions, apparently with some success. Foxon W120 and W122; Troyer, pp. 189 and 256. A scarce title; the two part are by no means always found as a pair.

Small 4to, together 24 parts in one volume; flyleaves removed, some light browning and soiling, contemporary calf, spine gilt (some wear, upper joint slightly cracked). A complete set of first editions, issued at more or less monthly intervals, each part containing 27 or 28 pp. This is one of Ned Ward's most ambitious poems, which began as a wide-ranging and satirically topical view of the Whigs. Early in 1706 Ward was taken into custody for his remarks, but publication of the parts did not cease, even when, in November, he was convicted of 'writing, printing, and publishing, several scandalous and seditious libels, (entitled Hudibras Redivivus) highly reflecting upon Her Majesty and the government'. In fact the prosecution had an effect, and later numbers of the poem are largely free of political references, consisting rather of versified perambulations of London, with glances at mountebanks, Quakers, tradesmen, Bartholomew Fair, and much more. Each part has a separate title-page; for the first twelve, comprising the first volume, the signatures are separate as well. Foxon W90 and W91; Troyer, pp. 90-97 and 243-4. Provenance. This set seems to have been assembled on publication by a certain 'D. E.' who has signed many of the parts with his initials.
