Description
London: A Millar, 1749. First Authorized Edition.. Full contemporary calf.. Very good.. 8vo, According to his biographer and the entry in the Rothschild Catalogue this work was originally written in 1738 for the Prince of Wales. It was then entrusted to Pope to be shown only to a few friends. Pope, however, had the work printed infuriating Bolingbroke who purchased the entire edition to have it burnt in 1744. Then in 1749 Bolingbroke dictated this revised edition with a preface reproaching Pope (who had already died). DNB XVII, 618 - '33; Rothschild #414; Guerinot for references.
