Pirated by Pope [BOLINGBROKE, Henry St John, Viscount].

Letters, on the Spirit of Patriotism: on the Idea of a Patriot King: and on the State of Parties, at the Accession of King George the First.

First authorised edition. Written in 1738 for the Prince of Wales, the manuscript was then entrusted to Pope who had it printed, to Bolingbroke’s fury: he bought up the entire edition and had it burnt in October 1744 (only two imperfect copies survive, at the British Library and Princeton). He later issued this edition, with a preface reproaching Pope (though he is not named directly) for his ‘breach of trust’.
