London, R. Francklin, 1737. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 24mo 5" - 6" tall.

Top-stained in blue, with speckled-red fore- and bottom-edges. This volume commences Saturday, April 28, 1733. 285 pp. including Appendix and a full Index, not abbreviated, but written out. Features engraved frontispiece, quite fine, author's portrait on title page, head and tail pieces, decorated initials in each volume. Bound in marbled paper over boards, with calf leather over tips, spine, five raised bands to spine, gilt tooling along edges, spine, remains of fleurs-de-lis, scuffing thereto, cracking to joints, some loss of paper here and there, Rubbing to gilt-tooled titles, waffling of text-block, but still sturdy and with signs of neither mildew nor odor. Nicholas Amhurst was born at Marden, Kent, according to an entry on Penny's Poetry Pages about him. Educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, having matriculated in 1716 to St John's College, Oxford, he was expelled there three years later for, he argued, his Whig principles as expressed in his quite popular writings. Known as a satirist of Oxford morals, he became something of a gadfly to many authorities. Moving from Oxford (post-expulsion) to London, he commenced his career in literature.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good
