    Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. First Edition. Quarto, 24pp. A very good example, bound in handsome 19th century 3/4 maroon morocco and maroon cloth. Gilt title to spine, with some gilt perished. Mildly foxed. Later endpapers, lacking half-title. Attractive bookplate of F. Grant on the front paste-down, which contains an image of the original frontispiece used in the first edition of the "Dunciad." Very scarce large pamphlet, written in response to Alexander Pope's critiques of these two authors in his "Dunciad." A 19th century handwritten note is neatly pasted to the front free endpaper, which reads, "This volume, which was afterwards published in 8vo, is the joint production of Leonard Welsted and James Moore Smythe. It appeared afterwards with explanatory notes in the collected edition of Welsted's "Works," published by John Nichols (London, 1787, I vol, 8vo). Pope was much annoyed by this pamphlet, + attacked it several times in the "Grub Street Journal." Extremely scarce; we were unable to trace any auction records in the past century. OCLC records about 15 holdings, mostly in the United States at major collections. ESTC T43280; Foxon W302 (5).

    Folio, pp. 16; disbound. First and only edition of one of Welsted's most appealing poems, describing his official residence in the Tower of London, where he held a post as a clerk in the Ordnance Office. 'An engaging poem in octosyllabic couplets where he dwells with relish on his furniture, the family portraits (including his bewhiskered grandsire, the antiquary [Thomas Staveley, of Leicester]), the view from an alcove on the roof, and the parlour furnished for a levée of humble bards: altogether a well-appointed dwelling except for the emptiness of its cellar' (Oxford DNB). The library includes 'Garth, Dryden, Cavendish in a Row; And Durfey, for a Joke, below.' Foxon W302. A fine copy of a scarce poem: ESTC lists about a dozen copies.

    8vo, pp. lxiv, 255; a good copy in contemporary panelled calf (very slight wear to the tips of the spine). First edition: the author's principal collection of verse. Leonard Welsted (1688-1747) was educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he never acquired a degree. He began to publish verse when he was in his early twenties, and after some vacillation allied himself with the Whigs, becoming a kind of secretary or assistant to Richard Steele; he later held a minor government post, and supplemented his salary by literary patronage. Welsted is now chiefly remembered for his quarrels with Pope, which were carried on with virulence on both sides. A Grub-Street contemporary, Bezaleel Morrice, characterized Welsted's poetry, with some justification, as 'modish', but there is evidence that his works were read with interest by superior writers such as James Thomson and Oliver Goldsmith. Of particular note in this volume is the long critical essay with which the book begins, discussing such topics as taste, wit, genius, and the rules of poetry; included are comments on Dryden, Milton, Settle, and Cowley. Included in this essay is a passing hit at Pope, for a line in his Essay on Criticism ('And what now Chaucer is, shall Dryden be'): 'But whoever this writer is, he certainly judg'd the matter wrong'. This is in fact a slight misquotation, as Pope had written 'And such as Chaucer is'. Pope, who was notoriously quick to be irked, did not fail to respond. Also included in this volume are pastorals, occasional poems, translations from Horace, Ovid, and Tibullus, a few prologues and epilogues, and a rather charming poem called 'Apple-Pye', which Welsted later said was his first attempt at verse. Foxon p. 677; Guerinot, Pamphlet Attacks on Pope, pp. 88-90. Provenance. Early armorial bookplate on the verso of the title-page of John Orlebar (1697-1765), of the Middle Temple, who was MP for Bedford 1727-34.
