Note

Originally published in 1642 with title: The prince.

"The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father" has been wrongly attributed to Raleigh. It is rather an excerpt from Robert Southwell's "An epistle of a religious priest unto his father", first printed in: A short rule of a good life.

With an engraved frontispiece portrait of the author (A2v; folded).

The first leaf is blank except for signature-mark "A"; E4 and F8 are blank.
