1057 HALL (Bishop Jos., of Exeter) Virgidemiarum, Sixe Books. FIRST THREE BOOKS OF TOOTHLESSE SATYRS: 1, Poeticall; 2, Academicall; 3, Morall. Three Last Books of Byting Satyres. 1599-1602.-CERTAIN WORTHY MANUSCRIPT POEMS OF GREAT ANTIQUITIE, reserved long in the Studie of a Norfolke Gentleman, and now first published by J. S.: 1, THE STATELY TRAGEDY OF GUISTARD AND SISMONDE; 2, THE NORTHERN MOTHER'S BLESSING; 3, THE WAY TO THRIFTE. Imprinted at London for R. D., 1597. 12mo, one volume, bound in blue morocco extra, gilt back, by RIVIERE, £12 128

Priced in the Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica at £25. These Satires. THE FIRST so-called, that were written in the English language, are by the eminent Joseph Hall, successively Bishop of Exeter and Norwich, and were published by him when a student at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, at the age of twenty-three.

Warton, in the fourth vol of "English Poetry," dwells minutely upon this work, and says: "These Satires are marked with a classical precision, to which English poetry has yet rarely attained. They are replete with animation of style and sentiment. The indignation of the satirist is always the result of good sense. Nor are the thorns of severe invective unmixed with the flowers of pure poetry. The characters are delineated in strong and lively colouring, and their discriminations are touched with the masterly traces of genuine humour. The versification is equally energetic and elegant, and the fabric of the couplets approaches to the modern standard. It is no inconsiderable proof of a genius predominating over the general taste of an age when every preacher was a punster, to have written verses where laughter was to be raised, and the

reader to be entertained with sallies of pleasantry, without quibbles of conceit. "The Certaine Worthy MS. Poems" (dedicated "to the worthiest Poet Master, Ed. Spenser") were published with and annexed to "Hall Satires." These poems bear no mark whatever of having been composed by Hall, but as they appeared in the same volume as his Satires during his lifetime, it may be presumed that he was in some way connected with their publication. Alexander Pope, on presenting Mr. West with a copy, observed that he esteemed them the BEST POETRY AND TRUEST SATIRE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, and that he had an intention of modernizing them as he had done some of Donne's Satires.

An extraordinary production, said to have been suppressed. The authoress certainly shews a great amount of courage; and the minuteness of details given-especially with reference to the customs of the East-prove that she has not shirked any questionable portions, but even at times laid herself out to them.

First edition of this masterpiece of Biography, detailing the shameless conduct of the mother of Savage, the Countess of Macclesfield. NEARLY A THIRD OF THE NARRATIVE WAS OMITTED WHEN THE WORK WAS INCORPORATED BY THE AUTHOR INTO HIS "LIVES OF THE ENGLISH POETS."

In 1744, Johnson rolled off from his powerful pen with as much ease as a thick oak a thunder shower, the sounding sentences which compose the "Life of Savage," and which shall for ever

perpetuate the memory and tale of that " "unlucky rascal." It is a wasp preserved in the richest amber The whole reads like one sentence, and is generally read at one sitting. Sir Joshua Reynolds, meeting with it at a country inn, began to read it with his arm leaning on a chimneypiece, and was not able to lay it aside till he had finished it, when he found his arm totally benumbed.

Published anonymously. Contains poems addressed to Ben Jonson, Dr. Donne, George Sandys, Sir W. Raleigh, and one on BURTON'S ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY.

"In these Poems," says Mr. Gilchrist, "there is a neatness, an elegance, and even a tenderness, which entitle them to more attention than they have lately obtained." They are also highly commended by Headley.

"There is nothing by way of prelude or introduction to this work, except a prose address from 'the Publishers to the Author.' A stupid piece of deception was practised respecting these poems, which, for its clumsiness, deserves a memorandum. Whether this volume had sold but little from being published without an author's name, or whether a number of copies had fallen into the hands of some book-jobbing ignoramus who meant to make the most of them, certain it is that some time after publication a new titlepage made its appearance, the former one was displaced, the date altered, AND THE POEMS WERE CALLED BEN JONSON'S. As the volume is still scarce, the trick perhaps was soon detected, for besides a total dissimilarity in the style of Old Ben and Bishop King, there is a copy of verses inscribed, To my sister, Annie King'; and at page 83, To my dead friend, Ben Jonson.' Howell, the multifarious letter writer, says 'In Dr. King's Poems I find not only heat and strength, but also an exact concinnity and evenness of fancy.' Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica, 1815, where a copy was priced £4 48.

Prefixed to this copy is an exceedingly clever portrait of the author in pen and ink drawing.
