Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. First Edition. Octavo, 406 pages, modern green cloth, no half-title; inked name of Russell Gray May 1887. Richard Porson was a remarkable classical scholar. Erasmus suppressed the debated Biblical verse called the Comma Johanneum (1 John 5:7), from his Greek Testament as unbiblical. "In the course of this enquiry, I found such astonishing instances of error, such intrepid assertions contrary to fact, that I almost doubted whether I were awake while I read them. But at last I discovered that Mr. Travis was a stranger to all criticism, sacred and profane; Edward Gibbon's verdict on this book was that it was "the most acute and accurate piece of criticism since the days of Bentley.".…

London, Marsh & Miller, [1830?]. 12mo. 33,[1] pp. W. 6 ills. (by Bonner and Slader, after R.Cruikshank). Later half leather. (binding sl.used; newspaper clippings from The Morning Post 1899 pasted on flyleaves; from the library of E.J. Kenney) Newspaper clippings -with information on the 'Porson incident' and the real authors of this poem- added. "A runaway success of 1799 was the satirical ballad 'The Devil's Thoughts', published anonymously in the Morning Post and Gazetteer (no. 9569) on 6 September. The poem (written in fourteen four-line ballad stanzas) is narrated from the perspective of the Devil, who has ascended to the surface of the earth one morning. This is to see 'how his stock went on', that is to say, he gleefully observes the rampant inequities in the city expecting a good yield in Hell.1 The poem aims its barbs at lucrative professions, such as lawyers, apothecaries, and booksellers, but government policies of prisons and support for the war with France are also criticised. . We are told that the poem was written by the classical scholar Richard Porson at a dinner party where he supposedly hammered out the poem extempore . Connecting Porson with the poem made sense insofar as he was known for his oppositional political views and had published an unknown number of unsigned articles in the Morning Chronicle. . A significant development in the devil-ballad's history is the publication of a series of highly popular illustrated versions during 183031. The poem was now retitled The Devil's Walk, edited by H. W. Montagu and published by London booksellers Marsh and Miller in collaboration with Edinburgh-based Archibald Constable (Walter Scott's publisher). In the early editions (see the appended chronological List in Part ii of this essay), the ballad is attributed to Porson, and a four-page memoir of the classical scholar (including the anecdote of the dinner party) is inserted as a preface. The edition is a collated text with variant readings for several of the stanzas, which was necessary because the ballad had 'appeared in several publications and it had circulated in MS with various alterations and interpolations'." (R.W. Rix, 'FugitiveText. Robert Southey and S.T. Coleridge's Ballad of the Devil' ).…
