Two works in one volume, 4to, pp. 52; [ii], 28; without the half title to the second work; but a very attractive volume in contemporary smooth calf, with morocco label: 'West's Poems'. First editions. Gilbert West (1703-1756) was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and was a nephew of Lord Cobham, creator of the gardens at Stowe. He was an ardent Spenserian, and had already published an anonymous imitation (A Canto of the Fairy Queen) in 1739. His poem Education not a promising subject for another attempt at copying Spenser, one would have thought describes the wanderings of a 'gentle knight' and his son, who are accompanied by a palmer, or pilgrim, commonly identified as a representation of John Locke. At the end of the poem they encounter a magical structure adorned with statues of great people, which (in a lengthy footnote) West explains as an allegory of the Biographia Britannia, 'that useful and entertaining work' which 'deserves, in my Opinion, to be encouraged by all, who have at Heart the Honour of their Country'. The second work in this volume is another imitation and continuation of The Faerie Queene, published by the same bookseller, George Hawkins, as had published West's in 1739 and perhaps intended as a continuation of it. There is no reason to think West the author of this second imitation (although it's notable that this volume is labelled 'West's Poems'). It is often attributed to the literary scholar John Upton (1707-60), following an inscription in a copy at the Bodleian; but although Upton published a critical edition of The Faerie Queene in 1758, he is not known as a writer of original verse, and the ascription seems a bit unlikely. In the Lives of the Poets, Johnson makes some acute observations on West's Spenserian poems: His Imitations of Spenser are very successfully performed, both with respect to the metre, the language, and the fiction; and being engaged at once by the excellence of the sentiments, and the artifice of the copy, the mind has two amusements together. But such compositions are not to be reckoned among the great atchievements of intellect, because their effect is local and temporary; they appeal not to reason or passion, but to memory, and presuppose an accidental or artificial state of mind. Works of this kind may deserve praise, as proofs of great industry, and great nicety of observation; but the highest praise, the praise of genius, they cannot claim. The noblest beauties of art are those of which the effect is co-extended with rational nature, or at least with the whole circle of polished life; what is less than this can by only pretty, the plaything of fashion, and the amusement of a day.
