It is somewhat hard to decide upon the authorship of this scarce volume, as Davies seems to claim it in his Preface, while "a Hearty well-wisher to his countrey," in an address "To the Reader in general," speaks of the work as his. Perhaps he and Davies were one and the same. The book was written before the Restoration. The last page has some verses "On his Majesties Picture, Anno 1659." DAVIES, JOHN, of Hereford. Microcosmos.

A 2 occurs a headline: "A Device (projected downe, but till now not publisht) that should haue serued at his majesties first accesse to the Citie," which, from the Towneley copy wanting the title-page, led the compiler of the Towneley Catalogue to enter it under that name, and induced Lowndes to put Dekker his Device among that author's works as a separate piece.
