[The two parts are rarely found together. The present copies have all the separate titles and blank leaves so often wanting. The pieces composing this volume appear to have been separately printed at intervals, during the years 1614-15, and scarcely two copies exactly correspond in the contents. The present one, in unusually fine state, possesses the two Sessions and some of the supplementary forms subsequently added, and has certain blank leaves, not in

most copies, necessary to complete the sheets. Sylvester spent a part of his life abroad, apparently as a merchantadventurer in the Low Countries. Catalogue.]
