Abstract

Attributed to Richard Allestree. Cf. BM, DNB. Variously ascribed also to John Fell, Richard Sterne, Lady Dortohy Pakington, Humphrey Henchman, and others. Cf. DNB. Table of contents: p. [16] Both Wing and Madan distinguish between two "editions" of 1667 [1677]: Wing A1137 (Madan 3133*), which is 12", lacks a frontispiece, and has an upper case "F" in "fifth impression" on the t.p., and Wing A1138 (Madan 3133), which is 8", has a lower case "f" and includes the frontispiece. Although the film identifies 856:1 as A1137, it is in fact identical to 705:5 with frontispiece, octavo binding, and an "f" on the t.p. Reproduction of original in Huntington Library. Item at 856:1a with: The art of contentment / by the author of The whole duty of man, &c. [Oxford] : At the theater in Oxford, 1677.
