⁂ Rare. ESTC records only four copies (2 Oxford, Folger and Glasgow), and WorldCat adds one further copy (Wellesley). We can trace only one copy at auction (2006).The dedication is signed 'W.M.', leading to the frequent attribution of the work to Walter Montague, English courtier, secret agent and abbot, who took part in the diplomacy that led to the marriage of Charles I to Henrietta Maria.
