**The Address to the Readers before this precious little volume is very interesting, as Barnefielde in it denies the authorship of two books imputed to him, one of which no doubt was "Greene's Funerals, by R. B." 1594, and the other probably " Orpheus his Journey to Hell, by R. B." 1595. He at the same time acknowledges The Affectionate Shepherd" to be his. Of the present work he observes that it is "the first imitation of the verse of that excellent poet Maister Spencer in his Fayrie Queene."

*** “ Alexander Pope pret. 8d." This volume is one of the most interesting records extant of this great Poet.

Not to write without a Genius.' 'Precept X. Not to write fast, &c.'

**The Author in his address to the Reader would persuade him that he was the father of this "offspring of the new-born Muse," when the fact is that not a few of the lighter and better pieces are stolen without remorse from Herrick's Hesperides, published nine years before. Mr. Bold has made equally bold with some other poets, and stole his address to the Reader, with some variation from Tho. Beedome's Poems Divine and ·Humane, 1641, besides stealing wholesale from other parts of that posthumous volume.
