- Format:
- Duodecimo
- Bibliographic details:
- Some items have separate title pages. ESTC describes frontispiece but this is not present in ECCO facsimile. QUERY: ECCO copy either represents a slightly botched printing / binding job OR a defective copy: numerous pages are missing at the start of poems (e. g. pp. 31-2, 61-2; ?85-8, 156). Catchword 'Ode' on p.78 - suggests p. 79? and at least one complete poem is also missing (comparison with 2nd ed suggests this is probably Pope's Ode on Solitude).
