ODE FOR MUSICK ON ST. CECILIA'S DAY

London: Printed for Bernard Lintot, 1722. 12pp. plus [2]pp of adverts. Octavo. Extracted from nonce volume. Engraved frontis. A couple of worm tracks in lower margin, far from text and extending only slightly beyond the plate-mark of the frontis, fore-edge trimmed a bit askew; just a passably good copy. "Fourth edition," though no second edition is known, and the third edition is generally regarded as the first edition in octavo, and the first to feature the frontis engraved by Gribelin after Cheron. This edition is often found conjoined with the ESSAY ON CRITICISM published (though post-dated) in October of the prior year, as well as in the context of the 1736 assembly of SEVEN SELECT PIECES. GRIFFITHS 136. FOXON P906. ESTC T5696. (Inventory #: WRCLIT75335)
