DENNIS (JOHN). 12169 Vice and Luxury Publick Mischiefs; OR, REMARKS ON A BOOK INTITULED, THE FABLES OF THE BEES; or, Private Vices Publick Benefits. By MR. DENNIS. W. Mears, 1724. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, old boards, RARE. £5 5s [DENNIS (JOHN)]. 12169a The Life of Mr. John Dennis, The Renowned Critick. IN WHICH ARE LIKEWISE SOME OBSERVATIONS ON MOST OF THE POETS AND CRITICKS, HIS CONTEMPORARIES. NOT WRITTEN BY MR. CURLL. Printed for J. Roberts in Warwick-Lane, 1734. FIRST EDITION. Sm. 8vo, sewn, preserved in cloth case, EXTREMELY RARE. £52 10s EXCESSIVELY RARE, AND AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF BIOGRAPHY CONCERNING THIS INTERESTING MAN. As a rule Curll's contributions to literature are none too reliable. For that reason the publisher introduces the sarcastic "Not written by Mr. Curll." The author is unknown; he gives us a good deal of curious information re Dennis, written in a very sympathetic manner, which has considerable value, for this information is not elsewhere obtainable. For SHAKESPEARE matter see pp. 14, 31, 41, 44, 47, etc. It is nearly thirty years since we had our last copy. DERING (SIR EDWARD). 12170 A Declaration by Sir Edward Dereing, Knight and Baronet.
