Printed by Fairfax Hall at his private press at Stourton House in Westminster with the help of H. Gage-Cole formerly of the Kelmscott and Dove Press as well as S. Bradshaw and S. Ball. A handsome printing of Dryden's tragedy and a very early publication of the Stourton Press. "Hall had set up the Stourton Press in London in 1930. Having asked advice of the wrong people he had acquired some Caslon type and a Cropper treadle press and was feeling thoroughly discouraged by the poor quality of his work when an opportunity came to employ Gage-Cole. His printing room was revolutionized: The Cropper was replaced by an Albion and the other equipment Gage-Cole thought necessary. For a young man on a junior employee's salary to engage a skilled craftsman was rather adventurous-and very alarming for Hall when he realized what thorough but unhurried work was needed. Hall learned much from Gage-Cole but the latter's strong pro-union attitude was a barrier between them. Also although in 1931 Gage-Cole completed Dryden's All for Love for the Stourton Press it was hard for Hall to find work for him as well as money and it was something of a relief to allow him to go and work for St. John Hornby.

1692ref. ST12901dLondon: Printed for Jacob Tonson 1692. FIRST EDITION. 216 x 167 mm. 8 1/2 x 6 1/2". 4 p.l. 24 pp. Later plain brown paper boards smooth dark red morocco spine with title author and date in gilt. Pastedown with book label of Marion C. Walker; verso of title and one other leaf with small ink stamp of the Selbourne Library. Macdonald 29; ESTC R1595; Pforzheimer 324. Paper evenly toned throughout but fresh and a clean appealing copy inside and out. At the Revolution when Dryden lost his positions of Poet Laureate and Historiographer Royal he was more than usually compelled to accept remunerative literary projects like this panegyric written about a lady and for a patron he had never met. According to Macdonald "The countess daughter of Sir Henry Lee of Ditchley died on 31 May 1691 but the poem 'betwixt ill health some business and many troubles' was not published till nearly a year later." Some have suggested that much of Dryden's genius was lost to his public because of the constraints of making ends meet with poems like this one but it is testimony both to his poetic powers and stamina that he was able to infuse even wholly commercial work with beauty and dignity. Our copy once belonged to Hugh Selbourne 1906-73 a respected Manchester physician and a passionate bibliophile with a notable library strong in the sciences. He was the owner of virtually all of Robert Boyle's works and his care in choosing copies is reflected in the fact that his first printing of "The Sceptical Chymist" sold at Bonham's in 2015 for a remarkable £362500.
