8vo in fours, pp. [i], 48, 51-55; disbound. First edition: there was no prior Dublin printing of this collection. An unauthorised miscellany, containing eight pieces, five in verse and three in prose; despite the title-page, some of these are not by Swift, but several were definitely from his hand. The volume contains: (a) An Apology [addressed to Lady Carteret], on pp. 1-7. The only prior printing of this poem by Swift was a Dublin edition of 1730 (Foxon S799; Teerink 696). (b) A Libel on D--- D--- and a certain great Lord [addressed to Patrick Delany], on pp. 8-16. This poem by Swift was first printed in Dublin in 1730, and was several times reprinted, both in Dublin and in London (Foxon S877-883; Teerink 689A-C). (c) An Epistle upon an Epistle from a certain Doctor to a certain great Lord: Being a Christmas-Box for D. D---ny, on pp. 17-22. Another poem by Swift: the only earlier printing was in Dublin in 1730 (Foxon S842; Teerink 684). (d) An Epistle to his Excellency John Lord Carteret, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, on pp. 23-28. A poem by Patrick Delany himself, first printed in Dublin in 1729 (Foxon D196-7; Teerink 1609-10). (e) The Drapier Demolished By William Wood, on pp. 28-38. A pseudonymous attack on Swift in prose, first published as an eight-page pamphlet in 1724. (f) A Proposal for an Act of Parliament, to sell the Bishops Lands, on pp. 39-48. This prose satire was first printed as part of a longer pamphlet in 1732; the title was somewhat different, and the text was credited to 'A.P.', i.e. Alexander Pope (Teerink 717A). In fact the author was probably Swift. (g) To the Rt. Honourable Sir Richard Poynes, Kt. The humble petition of Mr. Dermott Falvey, a well and most accomplished gentleman, on pp. 51-53. This prose piece is presumably not by Swift. (h) A Copy of Verses upon two celebrated Modern Poets, on pp. 54-55. A poem on Edward Young and Ambrose Phillips, printed here for the first time. Williams (p. 393) accepts Swift's authorship of this poem on the basis of its appearance in this miscellany, which seems an optimistic assumption. He suggests that it was written in 1726, when Swift was reading Young's Universal Passion, and had reason to ridicule Philips. The origin of this miscellany is difficult to determine, as the bookseller's name in the imprint is an invention commonly used at this period to conceal the source of an unauthorised publication. There was also a duodecimo printing the same year, with the same imprint. Teerink 40. …
