| Item Description: |
Editorial preface signed: Matthew Slow. One of the additional poems is ascribed to Andrew Pennecuik by Foxon, in whose opinion the miscellany was probably of Scots origin. The alleged Swift, 'An elegy on the much lamented death of Matthew Buckingher', was published in London and Dublin in 1722 (Foxon E67), and reprinted in 'The drapier's miscellany' by the Dublin printer James Hoey in 1733 (Teerink-Scouten 38A and 38). Reproduction of original from Cambridge University Library. |
