Mary Eales's classic collection was first published in 1718. This is a high-quality and much-needed facsimile ( as opposed to a reprint) of the second edition. Includes a useful biographical and contextual introduction. Very scarce in its own right. Cagle 660 (1733 edition). Cagle 659; Maclean p.40; Oxford p.55 (all recording the first edition).
