4to, pp. [iv], 20; a little browned, and last leaf dusty; in modern wrappers. First edition of what is effectively a posthumous oratorio by Handel: this work was put together a few years after his death (he had died in 1759), using his music and versifying appropriate biblical texts, in the manner of works completed by Handel during his lifetime. It has been suggested that the author of this was Edward Toms, about whom little is known, except that he did assist in the compilation of a similar oratorio, adapted by Samuel Arnold from music by Handel, and titled Omnipotence, in 1773. The leaf of preface in this copy has been partly obscured: the last of three paragraphs, which appeals for subscribers to an unnamed charity, has been blanked out by a piece of paper, pasted over intentionally, at the time of publication. It is not obvious what the charity can be: presumably it is not the Foundling Hospital, for which Handel worked so much in his lifetime, as the text refers to the 'Claims of Widows and Orphans'. Nor, of course, is it clear why the appeal has been deliberately obscured. In some copies of this book, page 15 is misnumbered 14, but the pagination is correct in this copy.…

4to, pp. 26; disbound. First revised edition. This is a poem by an amateur poet who, in other editions (probably preceding this one), identified himself as 'William Carter, late Lieutenant of the 40th Regiment of Foot'. His only other publication is a pamphlet on the movements of the British and American armies during 1775-6, which must indicate that he had seen service there during the war of independence. Four printings of this poem, which give his name (and which have been tentatively dated to around 1780), are in octavo and are slightly different in text: they were printed for the author, and offered at 5 shillings, surely a very ambitious price. Perhaps they did not sell very well at any rate, they are now extremely uncommon. But Carter clearly revised the poem for this quarto edition, which he must have hoped would reach a greater and perhaps more influential public, and it certainly may have had some success, as it was republished by Flexney in 1785, with further alterations to the text. ESTC locates three copies in Britain, and eight in the USA.…
