Two volumes, 8vo, pp. xiv, [ii], 310; vi, [ii] blank and errata, *1-*16, 5-264, 263-328; a fine copy, uncut and occasionally unopened; in original blue paper boards, new paper spines. First edition. John Hughes was a minor figure in early 18th century English letters, but enjoyed the friendship and esteem of greater writers. His tragedy, The Siege of Damascus (1720) was very popular, but he had the misfortune to die on the opening night and never enjoyed its success. The correspondence here is largely his in the first volume, but the second volume includes many letters by such as Pope and Swift, most of them printed here for the first time. The link between all of these papers is William Duncombe (1690-1769), who had married Hughes's sister Elizabeth, and who presumably inherited his papers; the collection is edited by his son John (d. 1786). It was reprinted, expanded into three volumes, the following year.
