A LIST OF EDITIONS OF THOMAS STANLEY'S POEMS AND TRANSLATIONS
[NOTE.--The present 'List' may be looked upon as an _apology_ for a
Stanley Bibliography, which, on the present occasion, is an
impossibility to the compiler, who has, to some extent, had to satisfy
himself with the sparse details of the ordinary bibliographical works;
in addition, he has been aided by the Editor of the present edition of
Stanley's Poems.--J. R. TUTIN.]
1. [Anonymous lines[A] to Sir John Suckling occurring beneath Marshall's
portrait of him in edd. 1646-1696 of Suckling's Works.
