Contemporary speckled calf, gilt-tooled spine panels with morocco labels (spines a little chipped). Provenance : H. Oakeley (signature at head of p.1). FIFTH EDITION OF POPE’S FIRST MISCELLANY, FIRST ISSUE OF VOLUME 1 which is dated 1726. Griffith had never seen a copy of the first issue, and holdings in ESTC number only sixteen. The degree of coverage given to his own work is regarded by Norman Ault as solid evidence of the poet’s continuing editorship. Twenty-seven poems by Pope fill upwards of 200 pages compared to eight short poems by three other contributors; the volume closes with two more pieces by him, both anonymous, and a flattering poem now signed by Broome. The complimentary poems “marshalled so impressively in the forefront of the edition” included an anonymous panegyric “To Mr. Pope” actually written by the poet himself, and borrowed from his other miscellany , Poems on Several Occasions , 1717. Printed by William Bowyer whose records show a run of 2000 copies. N. Ault, “Pope’s First Miscellany,” in New Light on Pope (London, 1949) 37; Griffith 164 and 192; not in Case. OLDMIXON, John (1673-1742, editor). Poems and translations. By Several Hands. London: J. Pemberton, 1714. 8° (188 x 110mm). (Some browning and occasional soiling.) Contemporary calf panelled in blind (rebacked, restoration at corners, front cover stained and scuffed). Provenance : John Roberts (contemporary signature on front blank). FIRST EDITION . First printing of Pope’s “A Receipt to make a Cuckold,” a short but indecent poem very possibly leaked deliberately. Pope had intended to include it in Lintot's Miscellany in 1714 on an extra leaf, but then suppressed it, leaving only a stub (see TE Poems. vi. 105-06; Bines and Rogers, Curll 68-69). Case 277; Griffith 31.
