- Bibliographic details:
- Plates: None in BL copy. Bodleian has a frontispiece. On title page of BL copy, 'VOL. II' has been scratched out (though it is pencilled in at the side, and is present in Bodleian copy). Perhaps a bookseller was attempting to make a part seem like the whole?
- Comments:
- Attributions: all poems within the section headed 'Dr. Winstanley's Poems' have been treated as being attributed to Winstanley unless other attributions are given in the miscellany. However, it seems likely that at least some of the poems handled in this manner are not by Winstanley.
