Arbuckle, James: A Collection of Letters and Essays on Several Subjects

Lately Publish'd in the Dublin Journal. Reprint der Ausgabe London 1729. Arbuckle was an Irish poet and critic, associated politically with Presbyterianism and Whiggism. His first published work was Snuff (1717), a mock-epic, which won praise from Allan Ramsay. It was followed by Glotta, or, the Clyde (1721), a tribute to Scottish life and scenery in which the most ordinary topics (such as golf and swimming) are depicted in high-flown language. In 1723 he returned to Dublin, where, under the patronage of Robert Molesworth, he edited the Weekly Journal, The Tribune and Hibernicus's Letters, a journal of essays later republished in two volumes, which are reprinted in this edition.
