Two volumes bound in one, 8vo, pp. xxiii, [i], 191; viii, 192; in contemporary calf, joints very fragile and covers almost detached. Second edition: first published in 1796 in two much grander volumes quite a number of verses are omitted in this edition, notably all the neo-Latin poems. Samuel Bishop (1731-95) was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, and after taking a degree at Oxford, and ordination, returned to his old school as a teacher. By 1783 he had risen to the position of headmaster, where he had mixed success in controlling boys and teachers (he had to abolish flogging after his undermaster, John Rose, took things too far), but was regarded with affection by many. Scarce: ESTC locates five copies in the UK (BL, Canterbury, Liverpool and two at Oxford); four in the US (Folger, Library Co, UTS and Texas); and two at Otago in New Zealand. Roger Lonsdale, who once owned this copy, chose two epigrams from this collection for the New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse.
