- The works of the most celebrated minor poets. Namely, Wentworth, Earl of Roscommon; Charles, Earl of Dorset; Charles, Earl of Halifax; Sir Samuel Garth; George Stepney, Esq; William Walsh, Esq; Thomas Tickell, Esq. Never before collected and publish'd together. In two volumes. 1749, [London: Printed for F. Cogan....] per Reddick, in The making of Johnson's Dictionary (204), a copy marked by SJ was in the Hyde Collection, presumably now at Harvard. J.D. Fleeman, in The Sale Catalogue of Samuel Johnson's Library, A Facsimile Edition, 1975, U. of Victoria, indicates that this copy may be only V.1, and only annotated by SJ for Garth, and not the other poets. All citations in the Dict. are to Tickell or Tickel, with no indication of the poem title, with the exception of the entry for alarm. At least six quotes are used for more than one headword (about 5%). Only one addition of a Tickell cite in the 1773 Dict. was noticed (dash). The Tickell poems appear in V.2 of this title. Quotations from 20 of the 26 Tickell poems in V.2 of this title were identified, as noted below. No citation of the single Tickell poem in the 1750 Supplement was identified.]
