Note

Originally published in 1642 with title: The prince.

"The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father" has been wrongly attributed to Raleigh. It is rather an excerpt from Robert Southwell's "An epistle of a religious priest unto his father", first printed in: A short rule of a good life.

Frontis. = ill.

"Sir Walter Raleigh's instructions to his son" (fifth edition) and "The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father" each have separate title page dated 1651 and separate pagination; register is continuous.
