First edition. 30pp. With a half-title. Recent half-calf, brown cloth boards, lettered in gilt. Minor shelf-wear. Marbled endpapers, slight shaving to top-edge. The sole edition of a panegyric elegy by literary critic John Dennis (1658-1734) devoted to the passing of Queen Anne: 'Muse, shew Britannia to her mournful Lyre, / Lamenting all the Virtues of her Queen, / All the great Actions of her wond'rous Reign, / In which the Terrour of the British Arms / Was carry'd to Germania's horrid Alps; / Their fame beyond the Ocean's farthest Waves.' As the requiem is swiftly abandoned, the poem descends to fawning adoration of the lately crowned George I: 'Heark how the Air with Shouts of Joy resounds, / With Acclamations of bless'd Multitudes! / Heark how aloud with one Accord they cry, / In Imitation of their God- like Chiefs, / Long live the Royal George, long may he live, / And happy may he reign!' ESTC records copies at four locations in the British Isles (Aberdeen, BL, NLS, and St. Andrews); and a further nine worldwide (Boston, Harvard, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, NLA, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Yale).

The 1744 issue of Du Bosc's important and luxurious 1743 edition of one hundred fables by Gabriello Faerno (1511-1561) in the original Latin verse (based mostly on Aesop, in part via Phaedrus) with parallel verse translations into French by Charles Perrault (1628-1703), best known as the author of the "Mother Goose" fairy tales, and with extensive additional material, including poems and letters by Faerno. Claude Du Bosc (1682-1746?), a French engraver who worked in England from 1712, signed the beautiful engraved frontispiece (Aesop talking to the animals) and almost certainly engraved the other illustrations and/or had them engraved by his assistants under his supervision. The present frontispiece and illustrations first appeared in the 1741, but the plates for the illustrations were revised or possibly even replaced (they now have wider borders) for Du Bosc's present 1743 edition. They bear no close relation to the illustrations in any Aesop, Phaedrus or Faerno edition before 1741 and form an original contribution to the illustration of these fables. Often the dark hatching of the backgrounds brings out the foreground With the 18th-century armorial bookplate of the Reverend Doctor Thomas Drummond. The illustration for fable 39 was accidentally omitted on page 91, which has a blank space where it should stand, and a crease made in the paper at the time of printing slightly affects the illustration for fable 63. There are also a few marginal stains in the first few leaves, not approaching the text, but the book is otherwise in very good condition and only slightly trimmed, giving very generous margins. The calf spine and corners had suffered from flaking but have been restored and are now sound. A luxurious edition of Faerno's 100 fables, combining all the textual additions of the excellent 1718 French edition with the original Latin and the new illustrations made by Claude Du Bosc in 1741.l ESTC N26724; cf.

Hobbs, Fables. Early 19th-century half calf, sewn on recessed supports, Spanish-marbled sides, for the Signet Library in Edinburgh, each board with the gold-tooled British Royal arms in the form used in Scotland 1801-1816, encircled by the inscription "The Society of Writers to the Signet" (Signet Library stamp 3, ca. 1815), with a gold-tooled spine label with the title running up the spine in capitals. Restored and with later 19th-century endpapers, with the early 19th-century printed label with the shelf-mark transferred to the front paste-down. With richly designed, engraved frontispiece by Claude Du Bosc, and 99 (of 100) fine engraved illustrations to the fables on integral leaves (plate size about 9.5 x 10.5 cm).
