From the collection of Christopher Hogwood (1941-2014). One of a small number of copies of this sumptuous "Superfine" issue, with the watermark of a fleur-de-lys surmounting a shield, organised and published by Prior's friends. The Strasburg bend watermark was used generally for the subscribers and normal copies were issued with the London arms watermark. Matthew Prior was one of the most important English poets of the century, and a diplomat as well. To raise money after his release from house arrest during the shift of power in England, Tonson and Alexander Pope especially aided Prior in setting to type a subscriber's edition of his poems. The project was a great success with nearly 1,500 names included among the original subscribers to the work. "The book reprinted and reordered all the poems from the 1709 edition of Poems on Several Occasions and added a number of poems written since that time, notably 'Solomon' and 'Alma.' Though he probably did not make as much money as is commonly cited (4000 guineas), Prior undeniably made a small fortune by this publication and found himself comfortably off for the rest of his life, independently wealthy and no longer dependent on repayments from a remiss and recalcitrant government" (DNB).
