This amusing bibliographical squib is written by "Carolus Henricus
Hartshorne," in whose hand the memorandum of the number of copies
printed is given on the fly-leaf. It appears from this that
only twenty were printed, and probably in a private manner for
presentation. The spelling and printing are equally ancient in
style, and the whole discourse, ending with the poem, runs upon
black letter and other antique lore.
