8vo, pp. [iv], 28; half title and title page dusty and somewhat stained, else a fine copy, stitched, as issued. First octavo edition, preceded by two folio editions earlier the same year. Lyttleton's third publication, a collection of four short poems. Johnson's opinion of the work was coloured by his contempt for the form: 'The verses cant of shepherds and flocks, and crooks dressed with flowers Of his Progress of Love, it is sufficient blame to say that it is pastoral'. It is fair to say that at this period, the genre was conventional, and convenient, for young writers at the beginning of a literary career. Foxon L335.

Leather. Zustand: Good. Various (illustrator). A three volume, leather bound, set of 'The Works of George Lord Lyttelton' A three volumes set with decorative gilt to spines. Complete three volume set of the miscellaneous works of this important figure in British politics. George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton PC (January 17, 1709 August 24, 1773), known as Sir George Lyttelton, Baronet between 1751 and 1756, was a British politician and statesman and a patron of the arts. In full calf binding. Externally sound, with some wear. Bumping to the head and tail of the spine, as well as to the extremities. Rubbing to the spine has resulted in the loss of the spine labels. There are some small marks to the front and rear boards of each volume. There is offsetting to the title page from the frontispiece in Volume I. The front and rear joints of each volume are cracked slightly. Hinges are strained, exposing the cords. Internally, the bindings of Volume I and II are firm. The binding of volumes III is strained, and is at risk of failing during delivery. Pages are generally bright but with spotting in the text. Good. book.

Folio, pp. [iv], 15; complete with the half title; disbound. 'Second edition'. There were two printings of the first edition, of uncertain order, but this seems to be a reimpression of the second of those (Foxon L338), although sheet C corresponds to the other printing. This anomaly is difficult to explain with any certainty. The poem was first advertised in October, 1747; this second edition, although dated 1748, was available for sale before the end of the year. Foxon L339; Sale, Richardson, 357.

Folio, pp. [ii], 15; without the half title; short tear in blank margin of title page, else a good copy; disbound. One of two editions of uncertain sequence, partly from the same setting of type (signatures B and E). This printing can be identified by the appearance of signature E under the 'n' of 'again' (as opposed to under the first 'a'). William B. Todd, in PBSA 44 (1950) gave it precedence, but Foxon tentatively reversed the order, because it more closely resembles a 'second edition', of which Todd was unaware; that being said, the evidence is not unambiguous. This tribute to the memory of his wife Lucy, the daughter of Hugh Fortescue of Fileigh, is perhaps Lyttelton's best poem; Samuel Johnson does not mention it. Printed by Samuel Richardson. Foxon L338; Sale, Richardson, 348.

Leather. Zustand: Good. none (illustrator). First edition. Two volumes from George Lyttelton's biographical work on King Henry II. In lovely contemporary bindings, this comprehensive work looks at this esteemed monarch. Lacking volume II, and IV, being volumes I and III only. Therefore only lacking one volume of the actual text. Volume IV was a subsequent volume of notes. ESTC No. T79258. With the bookplate of the Earl of Guilford, Lord North to the front pastedown. Frederick North was Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1770-1782. He spent his youth at Wroxton Abbey,Wiltshire, which is mentioned to this bookplate. This work is likely to have been Frederick North's or it may have been his son, George North's. George North was the third Earl Guildford. He was also a politician who represented several constituencies. This work also has the bookplate of Thomas Tudor Loveday, Principal of Southampton University College and then Vice Chancellor of the University of Bristol. These two volumes detail the life and politics of Henry II of England. Henry ruled as King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, Maine and Nantes, and Lord of Ireland. He also had some control of Scotland, Wales and the Duchy of Brittany at various points of his life. George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton wrote this work. He was a major patron of the arts who played a leading role in the development of landscape design in the 18th century. He supported the likes of Pope and Fielding in their works and was friends with James Thomson and Joseph Warton. In full calf bindings. Externally, generally smart. Small loss to the tail of volume III. Joints to both volumes are cracked with the hinges slightly strained but firm. Prior owners' bookplates to the front pastedowns, Earl of Guilford and Thomas Tudor Loveday. Internally, both volumes are firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with scattered spotting to pages. Good. book.

Erstausgabe
Folio, pp. 8; small piece torn from blank outer margin of title page, but else good; disbound. First edition. An amiable poem, addressed to Lady Diana Spencer, here called 'Belinda', who subsequently became the Duchess of Bedford. George Lyttelton (1709-1773) went on to become an impractical and absent-minded politician of unimpeachable integrity and benevolent character. He was a friend of Pope, and a generous patron of literature; Fielding, his school-fellow, dedicated Tom Jones to him. Samuel Johnson, however, did not have a high opinion of Lyttelton, and the condescending account he wrote of him for his Lives of the Poets gave much offence. Johnson's summary of his literary abilities is essentially dismissive, but he concludes with a note of praise for this poem: 'From this censure ought to be excepted his Advice to Belinda which, though for the most part written when he was very young, contains much truth and much prudence, very elegantly and vigorously expressed, and shews a mind attentive to life, and a power of poetry which cultivation might have raised to excellence.' Foxon L328.

Folio, pp. [iv], 6; upper portion of last page a bit dusty, else a fine copy; disbound. First edition of Lyttelton's first publication, published when he was 19, and about to set off on the customary grand tour on the Continent. The poem, in blank verse and on the Duke of Marlborough and his palace, is dedicated to Lady Diana Spencer (1710-35), the Duke's granddaughter through his daughter Anne, who had married the Earl of Sunderland; Lady Diana married the Duke of Bedford in 1731, but her only child was stillborn. Samuel Johnson regarded this poem as a mediocre performance: 'His blank verse in Blenheim has neither much force nor much elegance'. Nor was the subject new, as Aubin points out: 'Blenheim, already celebrated by Harrison and Hoffman, was sung by Lord Lyttelton in a flowery style. the classical dictionary is ransacked for parallels. Like other haunters of these shades, Lyttelton pays his respects to 'Rosamonda, hapless Fair' [i.e. Rosamund Clifford, mistress of Henry II]; and he exalts the late Duke whose super-life-size statue on its enormous pillar dominates the impeccable estate.' Foxon L330; Aubin, Topographical Poetry, p. 127; Horn, Marlborough: a Survey, 540 (with a long summary).

Half title. Orig. brown cloth, lettered in gilt, bordered in blind; spine faded & a little worn at head & tail. Ownership inscription of Maud Wyndham & Maud Lyttelton on leading pastedown & title. First published in 1851. Lord Lyttelton, 1817-1876, was William Gladstone's brother-in-law, and Glynnese was their family dialect. This glossary is a send-up of the language manuals of the time. The phrase 'over the moon', adapted from the earlier phrase 'jump over the moon for joy', is Glynnese in origin.

8vo., pp. [2], 50; title-page and last page a little dusty, but a very good copy, stitched as issued, uncut.First edition of a political satire in the guise of an oriental fable, criticizing the peace policy and wasteful expenditures of the Vizier [Walpole] in perpetuating 'his ill-got Power' in the prelude to the war with Spain, and implicating him in the death of Achmet [the Earl of Scarborough], the trusted councillor of the Sultan [George II]. Cajoled by his beloved Fatima [the widow of the Duke of Manchester], who has been deceived by the Vizier's party, Achmet betrays the state secret that war is to be declared; but he cannot bear the disgrace of this treachery, and commits suicide on the eve of their intended marriage. His suicide is a fact, the attributed motive is much less certain.Beasley 61; G.E.C., The Complete Peerage, VIII, 374n., and XI, 510-11.
