Title, Dedication (by Richard Cumberland to Halifax), and Advertisement (Ad Lectorem), 3 leaves; Text, pp. 1-525. 4to. 500 copies printed. Cumberland took up the editing when Bentley the younger resigned it. 'I am just undertaking an edition of Lucan, my friend Mr. Bentley having in his possession his father's notes and emendations on the first seven books' (Walpole to Zouch, 9 Dec., 1758). 'I would not alone undertake to correct the press; but I am so lucky as to live in the strictest friendship with Dr. Bentley's only son, who, to all the ornament of learning, has the amiable turn of mind, disposition, and easy wit' (Walpole to Zouch, 12 Jan., 1759). 'Lucan is in poor forwardness. I have been plagued with a succession of bad printers, and am not got beyond the fourth book. It will scarce appear before next winter' (Walpole to Zouch, 23 Dec., 1759). 'My Lucan is finished, but will not be published till after Christmas' (Walpole to Zouch, 27 Nov., 1760). 'I have delivered to your brother ... a Lucan, printed at Strawberry, which, I trust, you will think a handsome edition' (Walpole to Mann, 27 Jan., 1761).
