An Elegy, to the memory of the most noble and valiant John Manners, late Marquis of Granby; a Lord of the Privy Council, and Captain General of all His Majesty's Forces, &c.

Bookseller Notes

A seemingly unrecorded printing of an elegy on the death of the Marquis of Granby, undated but almost certainly published in the year of his death. Although there is a catchword on the final leaf of this volume, we have found no record of any book that it might have once been part of: it was not the elegy included in Michell's 'Poems; on various subjects. Viz. Four pastorals, an elegy, an anacreontic ode, Aquafortis, a satire' published in 1771 under a similar imprint (ESTC T125623, BL only). ESTC lists several other works by Michell 'printed for the author' between 1765 and 1772, none described as containing an elegy and only one recorded in more than 2 copies.
