Title: The Charms of Liberty to Which Is Added Epigrams Poems and Satyrs
Description: London, Henry Hills, 1709. First edition. Paperback. A very scarce pirated edition of William Cavendish's poem, 'The Charms of Liberty&apos. With several pieces by Tom Brown, one poem by the Earl of Rochester, one by a 'Mr Burnaby', one by Edward Ward and several anonymous works. This particular copy is cited on the ESTC as No. T506747 with a full stop after 'epigrams' in th title; the caption title words 'charms of liberty' are not in black letter and the last word of the first line of text is 'write,&apos. This setting differs from those mentioned by Foxon C84 and C83, (ESTC. T30527 and T30528) although does have some identical leaves to T30527. The publisher of this work is not stated, though is cited as being Henry Hills by the ESTC and Foxon. Collated, complete. Foxon states that the other poems to this work are by Edward Ward and Tom Brown. Tom Brown was an English translator and satirical author. Many of Brown's works remained unpublished at his death and therefore the publication date of many is in question. Jonathan Swift spoke highly of Brown's work and many believe that parts of 'Gulliver's Travels' were influenced by Brown. Ned Ward, or Edward Ward, was also a satirical writer. He is best known for 'The London Spy' a periodical about London life and his many scathing political pamphlets attacking the Whigs and defending the Tory position in parliament. Printer's error to leaves A4 and A6 has resulted in the text being at an angle. William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire, was an English nobleman, politician and courtier. In paper wraps. Externally, rubbed to the wraps with minor chips to the head and tail of spine as well as to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are slightly chipped to edges. Title page is discoloured. Otherwise, pages are generally bright with some age-toning to edges. Occasional, light, scattered spots. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
