Descripción

First edition, 45, [1, errata]pp., some early notations to head of title-page, lightly soiled, disbound. ìBurton, John (1696ñ1771). Though a tory Burton was not so extreme as Dr William King, principal of St Mary Hall, and under the pseudonym Phileleutherus Londinensis he criticized Kingís celebrated speech at the dedication of the Radcliffe Library, in Oxford, on 13 April 1749. King responded with a fierce ëElogium famae inserviens Jacci Etonensis, or, The praises of Jack of Eton, commonly called Jack the Giantí (1750), in which he satirized ëthe Burtonic styleí.îó(New ODNB). Phileleutherus Londinensis = John Burton; Dr. K---- = Dr. King, and Dr. R----- = Dr. Radcliffe; O-------d = Oxford.
