Copy details: The title page for 'New Miscellaneous Poems' (on p.[45] of the ECCO copy) has been cancelled from TAYLORIAN FRY.3.C.34, and reinserted as the main title page for the book as p.[i]. Thus the title page of TAYLORIAN FRY.3.C.34 reads: NEW | [i]Miscellaneous[/i] | POEMS. | [ornamental rule] | [ornament] | [ornamental rule] | [i]LONDON:[/i] | Printed in the YEAR 1731. This explains why pagination runs p. 47 followed by p.[44] in this copy. Separate title page of Part 2 (p. [133]): New Miscellaneous | POEMS; | WITH THE | [i]CAVALIER[/i]'s | ANSWERS | TO THE | NUN'S | FIVE | LOVE-LETTERS. | [rule] | [i]In[/i] VERSE. | [rule] | [i]London:[/i] Printed for [i]A Bettesworth[/i], at the | [i]Red-Lyon[/i], in [i]Pater-Noster-Row[/i], 1731.
