Impr. 7: 1614: sm. 4o: pp. [6] + 50: p. 11 beg. gather that seeing: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to dr. Airay provost of Queen’s college, Oxford, dated “Bunbury in Cheshire, Iuly 8. 1614” signed “W. Hinde”: (5–6) “Advertisement to the Reader,” dated as before, with “William Hinde”: 1–50, one sermon, on 2 Thess. ii. 3.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 16, 462. Dr. John Raynolds was Scholar, Fellow, and President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, but at one time or another was connected with Queen’s, Merton, New College, University, and Oriel (Register of the Univ. of Oxford, vol 2, ed. A. Clark, pt. 1, p. 4). There is no clear reference to the author being dr. Raynolds anywhere in the volume, but the fact is undoubted. The “Advertisement,” as a matter of printing, follows the Sermon, but was probably intended to be torn off at that place and pasted in where it is described above.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 16, where he mentions that Henry Jackson was editor of all the Orations except the first two which had been published before, see 1587 R. The funeral oration was first printed in 1607, see 1607 (Wake, 2nd ed.). From a bibliographical point of view there is great confusion in this and the two subsequent editions of Rainolds’s Orations (Lond. 1610, and Lond. 1628). For instance Wood himself in his remarks about Henry Jackson has confused the London edd. (B. C.) with the Oxford one (A).
In A (the present volume) it is impossible to reckon twelve Orations, and the book falls into three parts (a) pp. [6] + 77 + [17], signn. A-D12, sectt. i-iii. above: (b) pp. 201 + [1], signn. A-H12, I 1–5, sectt. iv-xi.: (c) pp. [110], signn. I 6–12, K-N12, sectt. xii-xiv. In B (Lond. 1619) a is as before occupying pp. [12] + 1–106: then follows “... Rainoldi ... Orationes quinque ...” with a separate titlepage and preface by H. Jackson, occupying pp. 107–348 [the Orations beg. Si quis (1573), Redit agricolis (1574), Si quantum vel, cum in isto (1577), Si quantum ad (1573)]: then b, pp. 349–528: then c, the Plutarch and Maximus Tyrius, with separate titlepages, occupying pp. 529–624: there is no extra titlepage at end. In C (Lond. 1628) the same four sections occupy pp. [6] + 1–92, 93–302, 303–460, 461–548, corresponding closely with B in contents.
