FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 207 x 122 mms., pp. [iv], 154 {155 Errata, 156 blank]. BOUND WITH Telemachus. By Lady Burrell. London: Sold by Leigh and Sotheby, York Street, Covent Garden; T. Payne, at the Mews Gate; and J. Robson, in Bond Street. 8vo, 207 x 122 mms., pp. [iv], 78. 2volumes in 1, contemporary mottled calf, gilt spines (rubbed and slightly dried); joints slightly cracked (but firm), a goodish copy with the autograph of "Richard and Julia Rowley" on the verso of the front free end-paper. Lady Burrell's opening line of The Thymriad repeats Dryden's opening line in his translation of Virgil's AEnid, "Arms, and the Man I sing." The two volumes seem to have been offered for sale separately, but The Monthly Review in 1795 , noted, "Though these two poems are published separately, we give our opinion of them jointly, because they are of the same character. They are both grounded on well-known stories; both amplify the original incidents and sentiments, in order to afford an opportunity of displaying the poet's descriptive powers; both express at large, in set speeches, the motions and passions respectively belonging to the principal characters; and both are composed in an easy kind of measure, very suitable for fictitious narrative, with no other difference than that one is with, and the other without, rhyme." In a longer review, The British Critic, and Quarterly Theological Review, also in 1795, concluded its very favourable assessment of the two poems, "Many.passages might be pointed out which are distinguished by no inconsiderable portion of genius, as well as by much warmth of imagination. We have no reluctance in pronouncing that whoever can receive delight from the perusal of elegant and harmonious versification - whoever is pleased with a poetical bouquet, where, though the different flowers which compose it vary both in fragrance and in beauty, the whole is sweet and agreeable, will have many acknowledgments to make to the author of the above publications.".

An assessment of the work of William Shakespeare by Elizabeth Robinson Montagu, who maintained a popular London salon among whose patrons were Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Horace Walpole. Montagu references Samuel Johnson's commentary on Shakespeare favorably in her introduction, and also condemns the criticism of Voltaire, who famously loathed Shakespeare's work and made no attempt to hide it (he wrote, for example, "Hamlet is a gross and barbarous piece, and would never be borne by the lowest rabble in France or Italy." [Preface to Semiramis, 1748]). Contents include: Introduction; On Dramatic Poetry; On the Historical Drama; The First Part of Henry IV; The Second Part of Henry IV; On the Praeternatural Beings; The Tragedy of Macbeth; Upon the Cinna of Corneille; Upon the Death of Julius Caesar.

First Edition
FIRST EDITION. 2 volumes. 8vo, 207 x 122 mms., pp. [viii] vi, 286; [ii], vii [viii Errata], 303 [304], including half-titles, title-page in volume 1 in cancelled state, author identified only on title-page of volume 2, contemporary mottled calf, gilt spines (rubbed and slightly dried); ink spot on title-page of volume, slight cracking of joints (but firm), corners slightly worn, but a reasonable set, inscribed on recto of front free end-paper of volume 1 "M. Augusta Martin" and "Richard and Julia Rowley." The former is possibly M. Augusta Martin (1844 - 1889, later Mrs. H. B. Schreiner; while the second names could be those of Richard Freeman Roweley (1806 - 1854) and Elizabeth Julia Angerstein (1804 - 1870). The dedicatee is William Murray, First Earl of Mansfield (1705 - 1793). The poet and playwright Soohia, Lady Burrell [née Raymond], (17531802) began writing poetry at an early age, mostly light verse, but also a setting of one of the Ossianic poems, Comala, published in 1784. Roger Lonsdale, in his anthology Eighteenth-Century Women Poets (1989)suggests that she wrote mostly for her own amusement and that of her family, but that the publication of these two volumes "illustrate the taste in the period for ballads, versifications of Ossian, and poems deriving from Goethe's Werther, as well as for druids, ruins, sensibility, mice, red-breasts and other creatures as subject-matter, but she also wrote some springtly verse to friends." The word "sprightly" probably verse on the gallant Colonel who cut the "Lady's stays.to recover her from a fainting fit.and exposed her charms." John Wolcot in The Montlhly Review for 1793 wrote, "ady Burrell's poetical talents . we will venture to say, do honour to her pen. Some of the lines, it must be confessed, are too prosaic to be called poetical: but, as they are possibly attempts at simplicity, (for Lady B. has, in a number of places, discovered powers of energy,) what critic can be so fastidious, and so destitute of taste, as not to forgive the failure? 'Ubi plura nitent, non ego paucis offendar maculis,' is a maxim with Horace, and must ever be with Monthly Reviewers. Lady Burrell has also attempted the ludicrous and the satirical, not without success; and, in several sketches from Nature, she has shewn herself a poetical Teniers.".
