About This Item
No Binding. Fair. London, Printed in the Year 1704; 4to, pp [iv], 20, 160x210mm; disbound from some volume and with the first two leaves nearly separated from the remainder which is, however, complete although also loose in parts; somewhat browned and with dust and other soiling and some old marks of water staining; there are generous foredge, binding and foot margins but the top has been cut rather close in the last three leaves (pp 15 to 20). Shippen was a Tory MP and a Jacobite, acting as a link between the Scottish and English adherents. The poem is an anti-Whig polemic specifically targeting the powerful Whig bookseller Jacob Tonson. This is an interesting copy in that there are some 18 very early, perhaps contemporary, annotations in the margins identifying the various people and places mentioned pseudonymously in the poem.
