Bounce was Pope's Great Dane; Fop belonged to Mrs. Howard. While authorship of the poem has been debated, "it is generally agreed that the original idea was Swift's, but that the writing is largely by Pope." - Foxon B326. The imprint is facetious, and the subsequent Dublin edition was in fact a reprint. A moderately worn copy of a very scarce title. Teerinck 996.. (Inventory #: 1143)
