In: Folio, 296 pages; exemplum of the first edition of Marvell's Miscellaneous Poems (London, 1681). Folio, 296 pages; exemplum of the first edition of Marvell's Miscellaneous Poems (London, 1681) with additional MS material, namely: (a) the printed text contains various MS corrections, deletions and emendations (notably on pp. 3-5, 7-11, 14, 19-24, 27-8, 42-3, 46-7, 49, 51-8, 61-70, 72-6, 78, 80, 85, 87-90, 92-3, 95-6, 99-100, 111-14, 132), as well as other crosses, annotations and renumberings; (b) some missing stanzas in seven poems on cancelled (i.e. excised) pages of text are replaced in MS (on pp. 35[-7], 38, 103[-10], 115a-u [115-29], 116a-b [130]); (c) a series of 18 poems in MS (including at least three probably by poets other than Marvell) are bound-in at the end, on pp. 141-285 (those on pp. 272-85 crossed through); the main series of emendations in the printed text and the additional MS pages are in a single hand of c. 1700 except for the lines on p. 269, the second half of ‘On the Monument’ (‘When Hodge first spy'd the labour in vain’) which are added in another hand to replace the heavily deleted same text on p. 271, and the final poem on pp. 277-85, which is in yet another hand; some annotations and deletions, as well as a series of crosses made subsequently, are in two or three further hands, including notes by the editor captain Edward Thompson (the first dated 1775) on pp. 157, 258; lines by Sir Philip Meadows are added at the foot of p. 63 in a hand resembling that of William Popple the Younger (d. 1772).
This volume, which may originally have been prepared as a collection of Marvell's poems for an intended edition, was evidently used by Edward Thompson in connection with his edition of Marvell in 1766 (see his vol. I, xxxviii et passim, and see further the Introduction for the distinction between this volume and another MS owned by Thompson). It is evident, from details of correspondence, that this is the volume known to have been lent to Thompson by T.J. Matthias, whose wife was a descendant of Marvell's brother-in-law, Edmund Popple, the son of whom was William Popple (1638-1708), Secretary of the Board of Trade; thus it may have been compiled principally by or for William Popple. However, this conjecture cannot at present be proved beyond doubt (see particularly the caveat in Chernaik, pp. 206-7).
Cited in IELM as the Thompson Volume: MaA Δ 1. Described in BLR, 2 (May 1945), 125; in Hugh MacDonald, ‘Andrew Marvell's Miscellaneous Poems, 1681’, TLS (13 July 1951), p. 444; and in Margoliouth, I, 233-5.
Facsimiles of select pages of this volume containing MS material are in Miscellaneous Poems, 1681 (1973), and see also Kelliher, p. 65. The various MS corrections and emendations in the printed text are recorded in Margoliouth, but are not given separate entries. The volume has been discussed by all editors since 1776 and also in Kelliher, pp. 63-4, and Chernaik, pp. 206-14. It is largely used as the basis for Lord's edition (1968). For comments on the relation of this volume to the canon, see further the Introduction.

Advice to Painter Poems Sometimes Attributed to Marvell

First published in Directions to a Painter…Of Sir Iohn Denham ([London], 1667). POAS, I, 34-53. Lord, pp. 117-30. Smith, pp. 332-43. Recorded in Osborne, pp. 28-32, as anonymous.
The case for Marvell's authorship supported in George deF. Lord, ‘Two New Poems by Marvell?’, BNYPL, 62 (1958), 551-70, but see also discussion by Lord and Ephim Fogel in Vol. 63 (1959), 223-36, 292-308, 355-66. Marvell's authorship supported in Annabel Patterson, ‘The Second and Third Advices-to-the-Painter’, PBSA, 71 (1977), 473-86. Discussed also in Margoliouth, I, 348-50, and in Chernaik, p. 211, where Marvell's authorship is considered doubtful. A case for Sir John Denham's authorship is made in Brendan O Hehir, Harmony from Discords: A Life of Sir John Denham (Berkeley & Los Angeles, 1968), pp. 212-28.
