Attributed to Obadiah Walker. Part 1 sometimes also attributed to Thomas Jenison. Part 2 is usually attributed to Walker, who may have taken it from writings provided by his tutor, Abraham Woodhead (pseudonym R.H.), to whom the work ascribed by the DNB. Cf. NUC pre-1956.

First two words of title in Greek characters.

In two parts. Part 2, "Some instructions concerning the art of oratory" has separate dated title page with imprint "London, printed by J.G. for R. Royston, at the Angel in Ivy-lane, 1659"; pagination and register are separate. Each part was apparently also issued separately.

A reissue of Wing W408 and W410, with title page for part 1 (A2) cancelled by a general title page.

Verify that in most copies of the combined works A2 is cancelled.
