Erstausgabe
12mo, pp. xii, 317; rebound in recent half calf, spine gilt, red morocco label. First London edition and the first noted in ESTC the collection seems to have been first published in Bristol in 1773. A very popular poetical miscellany, of which there were about a dozen editions issued by 1810. Included here is an early version of a famous hymn by William Cowper, beginning 'God works in mysterious ways'; the text here shows a number of variants from the version published in Olney Hymns (1779), where the hymn begins, 'God moves in mysterious ways'. A fine copy, complete with the half-title. Scarce: ESTC reports two issues of this edition, one, as here, with Richard Onely's poem The Charge of Cyrus the Great on p. 99 (three copies only), and the other with Goldsmith's Deserted Village in its place (two copies). ESTC reports a further six copies where the issue is unspecified (at least one of those probably being a double-counted copy). NCBEL II 394 notes a single copy, in a private collection, of an edition printed in 1773 in Bristol, where the compiler lived, but there is no record of this printing in ESTC, and the 1777 edition is the earliest there.
