Description
An anonymous attack on Alexander Pope's "Dunciad variorum", London, 1729.
Sometimes attributed (following Pope) to George Duckett and John Dennis, the critic. E.N. Hooker does not think Dennis was involved in it (see his edition of the Critical Works of John Dennis, vol.2, pp.ix-x), and D. Nichol Smith thinks it unlikely that Duckett had a hand in it (see his edition of the Letters of Thomas Burnet to George Duckett, p.xix). Also attributed to Sir Thomas Burnet (BL).
With a satirical frontispiece of Alexander Pope. Signatures are continuous throughout. With a final leaf of advertisements.
Includes "The Martiniad. With notes", a verse satire on Pope.
Indexed in: ESTC t044064; Guerinot, pp.166-70, 247.
