From dealer's description: "FIRST EDITION. 8vo, (162 x96 mm), engraved frontispiece and pp. [xvi], 140, [4] contents, in contemporary black panelled morocco, considerably worn, corners bumped, head and tail of spine chipped, some surface abrasion, spine gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, long faded gilt edges, with the ownership inscriptions ‘C. Hilton’ on the title page and ‘Jane Dendy Her Book 1790’ on the front free endpaper and the later bookplate of Christopher Rowe. First edition of an important poetical miscellany containing some of the earliest published poetry of Anne Finch (1661-1720) as well as poems by George Herbert, Jeremy Taylor, Charles I and Edmund Arwaker. Tate began this undertaking with the intention of making it an annual publication. A second volume was also planned, but never materialised. The second edition, which was published in 1698, the designation ‘Vol. I’ had been quietly dropped from the title-page. Finally, the compilation was revised and extended by Samuel Phillips in 1705. Tate’s collection includes the first appearance of Herbert’s ‘The Convert’ (p. 51), several poems attributed to ‘a Young Lady’ and the following poems by Anne Finch: ‘On Easter Day’, ‘A Preparation to Prayer’, ‘Gold is try’d in the fire’, ‘On Affliction’, ‘Psalm the 137th’ and ‘The second chapter of the Wisdom of Solomon’. Clearly this was once a very elegant copy in its attractively gilt black morocco binding. It has clearly been much read and happily retains evidence of at least two early owners."
