Granville was an early patron of Alexander Pope, and as his literary ambitions was also much involved in the politics of the day. He became a Privy Counsellor & was made Secretary of War - but this all came to nothing when George I came to the throne in 1714. Granville & his Tory peers found the new King to be a Whig & all lost their positions. 400 grams.

Erstausgabe
8vo, pp. [viii], 267; contemporary calf, rebacked. First edition: the major book of poetry by Alexander Pope's first patron; Windsor Forest was dedicated to him the following year. Up to this point Lord Lansdowne (1667-1735) had published only a few plays; of his verse Samuel Johnson did not have a high opinion: 'He had no ambition above the imitation of Waller, of whom he has copied the faults and very little more'. Included in this volume are poems addressed to the King, epistles to various ladies (most of them addressed to 'Myra'), a number of prologues and epilogues, and verses to John Dryden and Samuel Garth; there is also a brief 'Character of Mr. Wycherley' in prose. At the end is The British Enchanters, a dramatic poem which had been acted at the Haymarket, and published in 1706. Provenance: early and rather attractive engraved armorial bookplate of Ann Lloyd, with her signature on title page, and inscription 'A Lloyd no 1013' on pastedown. If her library amounted to over a thousand books in the early 18th century, that would have been quite a substantial collection for a woman of the period. Foxon p. 314; Rothschild 1051.

Erstausgabe
8vo., pp. [8], 267, [1]; a very good copy in contemporary panelled calf, spine with morocco lettering-piece; bookplate of Mr. George Carre Advocate.First edition; containing 'all the Poems which have been written by the Right Honourable George Granville Lord Lansdown, very few of which have been ever before printed'. Granville (1666-1735) wrote his first play, The She-Gallants, at age 15, and his adaptation of Shakespeare, The Jew of Venice, was to hold the stage for forty years, but he had also been writing poetry on the model of Edmund Waller throughout the 1680s and 90s. Poems contains courtly verse addressed to a fictional lady, Myra, much admired at the time (though not by Johnson), as well as a piece 'To my friend Mr Dryden, on his Excellent translations', and a dramatic poem, 'The British Enchanters'.Foxon, p. 314; Rothschild 1051.
