1654 One of the most curious and diverting books in the English language; the sense of humour being apparent through all the solemn Puritanical protests of the author. He was a man of wide reading and much common sense. His work is one of the chief books in English on the history of Fashions.

The ascription of the text to Cervantes is false. Hazlitt states that R. C. was Robert Codrington (who flourished in 1620-52), but this would be unlikely if the book was licensed to Creed in 1594 as specified by Hazlitt himself.

1889 Dr. Thomas Campion was one of the most distinguished poets of the Elizabethan age, and his best songs are of almost unequalled excellence. The present editor, in the preface to his collections of Lyrics from Elizabethan Song-Books and of More Lyrics, was the first (of the moderns) to insist on Campion's merits, which are now recognized by all competent critics.

This edition of Campion's work includes all his songs, his delightful masques, and his interesting Observations in the Art of English Poesie. His Latin epigrams are also given in full.
