Binding a rubbed, but sound; some foxing and smudges in the text; very good copy.. 3 vols in 2, 8vo, contemporary brown calf, gilt rules, decorations and lettering. Three volumes, complete, of an important English poetical miscellany which the editor and publisher Francis Cogan assembled for the cause of preserving what he feared were works that would be lost to the "low and declining state" of poetry. Included are the Earls of Dorset, Halifax and Roscommon, Samuel Garth, Thomas Tickell, Ambrose Phillips, Thomas Sprat, and what are stated to be uncollected pieces by John Sucking, Matthew Prior, Thomas Ottway, and Jonathan Swift (a few of which Teerink suggests may be doubtful).
