An edition ascribed to John Fell, Bishop of Oxford, of anonymous works all published separately between 1658 and 1678. The three forming the first part have special title pages; those in "The second part" have half titles only. The editor calls them "the genuine and only writings of our author" and mentions a number of spurious ones recently published. For a discussion of the authorship, now usually ascribed to Allestree, cf. C.E. Doble, Academy, Nov. 1882, p. 348, 364, 382; The Bibliographer, London, v. 2, p. 73, 94, 164; Notes and queries, ser. 5, 11, and 12.
