Paradise Regain’d. A Poem, in Four Books. To which is added Samson Agonistes; and Poems Upon Several Occasions, with A Tractate of Education. [And:] Comus. A Mask Presented At Ludlow-Castle, MDCXXXIV. Before The Earl of Bridgewater, Then President of Wales.

Notes

The first Foulis printing of Milton's major works - Gaskell separates Comus, perhaps on account of its lack from the general title-page, although he notes it is uniform with the other works, and lists both of them as being printed in March 1747. Each part has its own title-page, most are paginated separately and were probably issued individually as well. ESTC regards Gaskell's separation of Comus from the other works to have been in error, recording 12 copies in this configuration. These are most likely the only Milton works the firm issued in Duodecimo format at the time - Gaskell also records an unseen edition of two pastoral poems also published in March but ESTC records them as being printed in quarto, and a September printing of Paradise Lost, also unseen but dated from an advertisement; this does not appear to have been issued, or at least not until 1750 per ESTC.
