About This Item
Dublin: Printed by Samuel Fairbrother ..., 1714.. iv,18pp. Small quarto. Disbound. Unfortunately quite grubby, discolored and worn, with chip to terminal leaf affecting two words on E1r, along with a small pinhole affecting one word, lacking b1 (a later insertion) but a functionally complete copy of a rare book. First (and only) contemporary edition of this memorial poem to Sir Francis Hamilton, 3rd Baronet (c. 1640 -1714), MP for Country Cavan. Foxon and ESTC report an elusive leaf printing 'verse to the reader' that appears to have been a late addition to at least one copy-- it is not present here. Pages 15-18 carry a poem, "To the Honourable The Lady Hamilton." A rather dim copy (at best), but ESTC locates only two copies: BL and Trinity College Library. OCLC/WORLDCAT only summons up records for digital or microform holdings. ESTC T40561. FOXON M470.
