London, J. Dodsley, 1792, 3 vols. 4to. Vol. II. pp. 324-336, in the present edition. See the history of the melancholy catastrophe of the Duke of Buckingham. Temp. Hen. At si non aliam venturo fata Neroni, etc. Sir George Savile's act, called The Nullum Tempus Act. "Templum in modum arcis." TACITUS, of the temple of Jerusalem.
Dodsley, about ten years after his purchase, candidly owned that the sale had been more productive to him than that of any other book in which he had before been concerned; and with much liberality restored the copy-right to the author.
The Earl died in 1773, in his seventy-ninth year, and thereupon Mrs. Stanhope, who was in possession of all the original letters addressed to her late husband, carried her wares to market, and made a bargain with Mr. Dodsley for their publication, she to receive £1,575. Mr. Dodsley advertised the forthcoming work, and on that the Earl's executors, relying upon the well-known case of Pope v.
His London triumph had not yet run its course. The first edition of Vols. I. and II. of Tristram Shandy was exhausted in some three months. In April, Dodsley brought out a second; and, concurrently with the advertisement of its issue, there appeared in somewhat incongruous companionship the announcement, "Speedily will be published, The Sermons of Mr. Yorick."
I know that you, Alan, will condemn all this as bad and antiquated; for, ever since Dodsley has described the Leasowes, and talked of Brown's imitations of nature and Horace Walpole's late Essay on Gardening, you are all for simple nature condemn walking up and down stairs in the open air and declare for wood and wilderness.
Dodsley too; he would be more gratified if he saw it first, in private, and thought himself consulted." Dr. May was dismayed at seeing her take up her pen, make a desk of her blotting-book, and begin her copy by firelight. "Flora, my dear," he said, "this must not be. Have I not told you that you must be content to rest?" "I did not get up till ten o'clock, and have been lying here ever since."
The first mention of Sterne in the Göttingische Gelehrte Anzeigen is in the number for November 15, 1764. In the report from London is a review of the fifth edition of Yorick’s Sermons, published by Dodsley in two volumes, 1764. To judge by the tenor of his brief appreciation, the reviewer does not anticipate any knowledge of Sterne whatsoever or of Shandy among the readers of the periodical. He states that the sermons had aroused much interest in England because of their authorship “by Lorenz Sterne, author of Tristram Shandy, a
He dawdled at Dodsley's, visited with the callers and browsed among the books. There was only one thing the young man liked better to do than read, and that was to talk. Once he had read a volume nearly through, when Dodsley up and sold it to a customer "a rather ungentlemanly trick to play on an honest man," says Burke.
Goldsmith declared there was none of superior merit. Dodsley cited his own collection in proof of the contrary. "It is true," said he, "we can boast of no palaces nowadays, like Dryden's Ode to St. Cecilia's Day, but we have villages composed of very pretty houses."
The "Night Thoughts" were begun immediately after the mournful event of 1741. The first "Nights" appear, in the books of the Company of Stationers, as the property of Robert Dodsley, in 1742. The Preface to "Night Seven" is dated July 7th, 1744. The marriage, in consequence of which the supposed Lorenzo was born, happened in May, 1731. Young's child was not born till June, 1733.
