See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 653 and 1621 B. Ten of the divisions of the titlepage have now small numbers attached to them, arranged thus:—2, 1, 3 (top row): 4, title, 5: 6, 10, 7: 8, imprint, 9 (lowest row). This plate is described in the Catalogue of Prints in the British Museum. Div. 1. Satires, vol. 1 (Lond. 1870), p. 79.

So in the Catalogue of the second ... portion of dr Philip Bliss’s library, sold in Aug. 1858, p. 13, no. 150: but it is probably an error for 1633, although possibly some copies may have borne this date.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 326. The author says he now prints his old sermon, because it had been a great consolation to him, he having just lost his eldest son, a B.A. of Christ Church, by illness.

Each of the 15 bks. and the Life are preceded by a full-page engraving.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 100. The first and second editions were issued at London in 1626 and 1628: this is the third, and others followed but were not published at Oxford. The first five books had been issued by Sandys at least twice (2nd ed., Lond. 1621). The large engraved titlepage (9⅝ × 5⅛ in.) is similar to the title of the 1626 London folio edition in general design, but different in detail. In the 1632 engraving the title (nearly as on the printed leaf, as far as “G. S.”, with date only and no imprint) is on a sheet held by and between two figures of Amor and Sapientia, and on the lower edge of the sheet is “Francisco Clein Inv: Salamon Sauery sculp:”. Other emblematic figures and some Latin sentences fill the page. The British Museum copy has the engraved title, but the copy presented by the translator in 1636 to the Bodleian has not. The book is singular in having no small woodcut ornaments.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 331, and 1630 P. The book is an analysis, rather than a readable treatise.
