An uncut copy of the first issue of the first edition, measuring 8-1/4 by 5 inches. "B" of Thoms's list, similar to the copy in the British Museum.

The distinguishing marks of this first issue are the misprint, "Book and the man I sing" instead of "Books," page 1, line 1, and the blank page on the verso of H2 instead of an advertisement.

Three varieties of the Owl frontispiece are found in the different editions; the first as in this issue, the second in that edition of 1728 which is entirely reset (page 302), and the third in the variorum edition, 1729. Perhaps the simplest method of identification is by means of the legend on the scroll held by the Owl. In variety No. 1, the second line, "Dunci-" has a hyphen at the end; in No. 2 it has not; in No. 3 the second line is the complete word "Dunciad." The Owl in No. 1 is better drawn than in No. 2; the "s" in "Shakesp." is a long "s" in No. 1, which is not the case in No. 2; all the lettering in No. 1 is smaller than in No. 2. The Owl in No. 3 is more like No. 1 than No. 2 is; "P. & K. Arthur," on the book under the Owl's claws in 1 and 2 is changed to "Gildon & Woolston" in No. 3; "New-castle" on the back of the book next the floor in 1 and 2 is changed to "Blackmore" in No. 3. The lettering in No. 3 corresponds more nearly in size to No. 1 than does that in No. 2.

The present copy was once owned by Jonathan Richardson, the painter.

Second issue of the first edition. "C" of Thoms's list.

The distinguishing mark of this issue is on page 1, line 1 (ending with "who"), where "Book and the man I sing" is corrected to "Books." The text was probably printed from the same forms of type as the first issue, with corrections of some, but not all, typographical irregularities; e.g., on page vii of the Preface the second "i" of the Roman numeral extends above the line in both issues; on page 1, line 1, of the second issue the last letter in "who" has been raised to the line, whereas in the first it is below. On page 5 the same space exists in both issues between "F" and "i" of "First" in the running head-line; on page 23, line 159, the misprint "spirits" occurs in both issues. In the note on page 5 "Interlude" of the first issue is changed to "Enterlude" in the second.

In the first issue the verso of H2 is blank; in the second it contains an announcement: "Speedily will be Published The Progress of Dulness, an Historical Poem. By an Eminent Hand. Price 1s. 6d."

Signature A of the first issue is not lettered; the first page of the Preface in the second is lettered A3.

Page vii of the Preface in the first issue is lettered "b"; in the second issue it is unlettered, making six leaves in A, the present issue being a 12mo in sixes, the first an 8vo in fours, with corresponding alterations in signature marks.

"D" of Thoms's list. Presumably the third issue of the first edition, although the title-page says "second edition." The Address from the Publisher to the Reader appears to have been printed from the same forms as the two preceding issues ("B" and "C" of Thoms's list), because of many similarities of dropped letters and defective types. The text was probably printed from the same type reimposed to admit of the interpolation of notes, e.g., on page 5, "Lord Mayor of London" is added to the note, "Sir Geo. Tho--"; on page 6, line 94, "And furious D--n" is changed to "D--s"; on page 7 two notes are added, "Old Printers." and "Sec. Philemon Holland." On page 22 the addition of a note of three lines necessitated the transference of two lines of text to the top of page 23; "Spirts," line 159, page 23, is here correctly printed, whereas in the previous issue it is "Spirits." The advertisement of "The Progress of Dulness" on the verso of F2 does not occur here.

POPE, ALEXANDER.--The Dunciad. an Heroic Poem. In three books. [Square printer's ornament] Dublin, Printed, London Reprinted for A. Dodd. 1728. _12mo, maroon morocco, blind-tooled, gilt top, uncut edges._

Undescribed by Thoms.

Another edition of 1728, presumably the second, rather than the preceding. The type is entirely reset in the body of the work, although the same founts are used. On the title-page it is larger and of a heavier face than in the preceding edition, and the ornament is different. The "U" in "Dunciad" is not symmetrical, as in the other edition, but has a straight right and a curved left side. The Owl frontispiece has been re-engraved (variety No. 2).

The first page of the Preface, A2 (A3 in the other edition), has a large, heavy capital "I" for "It," whereas the other begins with an "I" in a woodcut border.

"Who," the last word of the first line of the other edition, is the first word of the second line here,--the distinguishing mark of this edition. The type of the final page of advertisement is of much lighter face than in the other edition.

It does not contain the additional notes on pages 5, 7, and 22, and the spelling of "Interludes" in the note on page 5 is preserved; therefore it was probably set up from a copy of "B" rather than "C," although the misprint "spirits," page 23, line 159, is corrected.

POPE, ALEXANDER.--The Dunciad, variorvm. With the Prolegomena of Scriblerus [vignette of Ass] London. Printed for A. Dod. 1729. _4to, red levant morocco, gilt back and sides, gilt top, uncut edges, by Riviere._

First complete, and author's first avowed edition. "F" of Thoms's list.

Four varieties of the Ass frontispiece are found in different editions. No. 1 as in the present edition, No. 2 in the first variorum 8vo edition, No. 3 in the reprint of the variorum 4to (page x), and No. 4 in the Collected Works, folio, 1735.

Although the difference between Nos. 1 and 2 is perfectly evident when the two plates are compared side by side, the details of No. 1 are so faithfully re-engraved in No. 2 that a definite mark of differentiation is difficult to give. In No. 1 the spacing of the letters in "vicum" in the inscription at the left of the vignette is uneven; there is too much space between "v" and its adjacent letters. This is not so in No. 2. In No. 2, on the other hand, the "o" in "deferor" is raised above the line, as it is not in No. 1. Perhaps the surest means is measurement; No. 1 is 4 inches in height; No. 2, 3-7/8 inches.

No. 3 is much smaller and has very evidently been re-engraved. The spelling "Heywood" is found here instead of "Haywood," as in Nos. 1 and 2. In No. 4 the caption of the paper in the right foreground is "The Free Briton" instead of "Bakers journal," as in Nos. 1, 2, and 3.

It is difficult to determine the priority of the various editions of the four Epistles composing this Essay. Whereas there were once supposed to be only four editions, it is now generally conceded that there are ten or eleven, two of the First Epistle with "Part I." on the title-page, two of the First with "Epistle I." on the title-page, three of the Second, two of the Third, and one of the Fourth.

No recorded investigations are sufficiently advanced to be of service, and in the matter of the numbering of the lines or neglect to number, one theory is as plausible as another. It is granted, however, that the editions of the First Epistle with "Part I." on the title-page were earlier printed than those bearing "Epistle I."

The wording of the third title-page is the same as the second, with the substitution of "Epistle III." for "Epistle II.," but they are differently set up. In the imprint of Epistle II, "J. Wilford" is in lower case italics, in Epistle III in small capitals; "Chapter-House" in Epistle III is in lower case italics, and not in Epistle II.

In the Address to the Reader preceding Epistle II, Pope says, "The Author has been induced to publish these Epistles separately for two Reasons; The one, that he might not impose upon the Publick too much at once of what he thinks incorrect; The other, that by this Method, he might profit of its Judgement on the Parts, in order to make the Whole less unworthy of it."
