Note

Anonymous. By Thomas Flatman. Sometimes attributed to Samuel Austin.

"Wood has identified the object of this satirical publication as Samuel Austin, the younger, .. It is not yet clear, however, whether the portions here ascribed to the 'Author' were actually his or not."--Pforzheimer Catalogue.

"A diverting little book, holding up to ridicule one Samuel Austin of Wadham college, ... His persecutors got hold of some pieces by him in bombastic or (at best) euphuistic style, and here dress them up with notes, satirical poems and prefaces." -- Madan.

In verse.
