THE HISTORY OF THE Wars of New-England, With the Eastern Indians. OR, A NARRATIVE Of their continued Perfidy and Cruelty, By Samuel Penhallow, Efqr. Nefcio tu quibus es, Lector, lecturus Ocellis. BOSTON: Printed by T. Fleet, for S. Gerrish at the lower end of Cornhill, and D. Henchman over-against the Brick Meeting-Houfe in Cornbill, 1726. [SEE No. 882.] A. M. Two Parts, extended to three volumes. Small 4to, handsomely bound in full olive morocco gilt, gilt tops, the front and bottom edges uncut. LONDON, 1664 *THE COPY USED BY THE POET ROBERT SOUTHEY IN MAKING HIS ENGLISH EDITION, PUBLISHED IN 1807. INTERLEAVED WITH 473 LEAVES OF WRITING PAPER, ON WHICH SOUTHEY HAS WRITTEN HIS CORRECTIONS AND INTERPOLATIONS. MANY CORRECTIONS AND DIRECTIONS TO THE PRINTER ARE ALSO WRITTEN ON THE MARGINS OF THE TEXT AND THE EXCISIONS POINTED OUT. ONE LEAF OF THE LETTERPRESS IS MISSING, PROBABLY REMOVED BY SOUTHEY HIMSELF, TO BE OMITTED FROM HIS OWN VERSION. INSERTED IS A MS. NOTE STATING THAT THIS COPY WAS A GIFT FROM JOHN PAYNE COLLIER. Palmerin of England was written by Don Luis de Hertado, and is ranked as one of the best of the Romances of Chivalry of the type of Amadis de Gaul. When Cervantes described the curé burning the romances of Don Quixote he expressly excepts Palmerin of England, declaring that it shall be put among the relics of antiquity for the excellence of its composition and adventures. Many English authors have praised it, and Keats classed it among his favorite books. The translator, A. M. [Anthony Munday], has been somewhat undeservedly neglected as an early English writer, this neglect being founded on the fact that his lesser and literary hack work were practically the only ones obtainable. He died in 1663, but his writings date from the later years of the 16th Century. Kemp, in his "Nine Daies Wonders," refers to him as a Ballad Writer, and other contemporaries note his dramatic works. The play of Sir John Oldcastle,'' once attributed to Shakespeare, and afterwards to Thomas Heywood, was partly written by him. It also appears, from statements made in his lifetime, that at some period in his career he had acted on the English Stage, and from this practical experience his dramatic works, if now extant, would be of great interest and value. 868.
