The first edition of pt. 1 was published with title "Court poems" in "MDCCVI" [i.e. 1716], edited by John Oldmixon. A second London edition was advertised & probably published with title "Pope's miscellany" 5 Jan. 1717 (Griffith 65), & a third London edition with title "Pope's miscellany ... The second edition" on 8 Aug. 1717 (Griffith 90).

Pt. 1 is a reissue of the 4th London edition, 1719 with signature D5, containing p. [25]-34, added.

The 4th London edition of pt. 1 is found in two states, distinguished by their head-pieces. In this state, Griffith 174b, the head-piece on leaf B1 recto (found on p. 10 of both states) portrays a phoenix or eagle; the head-piece on p. 13 (found on p. 1 [i.e. 3] of both states) is a arabesque in white-on-black; while the head-piece on p. 17 (found on p. 22 of both states) is an arabesque in black-on-white.

Bound with (perhaps as issued) Miscellanea in two [i.e. five] volumes, 1727 [i.e. 1726-27].

Purchased on December 16, 1907, with the Kenneth Matheson Taylor Fund.
