Sobre este artículo
First Authorised Edition. 8vo, pp. xi, [1], 9-251, [1], title, half-title, bound in contemporary calf, re-backed. Printed for A. Millar (London), 1749.
A clean copy, the boards a little worn; a near fine example.
Bolingbroke was an English Tory politician and political philosopher who supported the 1715 Jacobite rebellion of 1715 which failed to overthrow King George I. Following the failed rebellion, he escaped to France and wrote his political tracts, where he argued for political partisanship to cease and the balancing of the constitution. Initially written in 1738 for the Prince Of Wales, Bolingbroke entrusted his friend and English Poet, Alexander Pope with the manuscript. However, to Bolingbroke's anger, Pope secretly published 1,500 copies of "The Idea of a Patriot King". In this first authorised edition, without naming him, Bolingbroke reproaches Pope for his "breach of trust". Bolingbroke purchased the entire edition published by Pope and had it burnt in 1744; with only two flawed copies surviving; one held at the British Library and the other at Princeton.
(Rothschild 41 4, DNB XVII, 618 - '33.)
