Pastoral Dialogues and Antiquarian Notices in 1716
The fragment lists works on pastoral verse by Mr. Purney and notes on Theocritus style, with printing details in Fleet Street and St Donstan's Church. It mentions Lillys Letters on Death and Courtiers, and a 1700s monumental inscription collection by Le Neve, urging parish registers for dates of notable burials. It also describes the celebrated Chamberlen Necklace for teething and a medical essay, with a proprietor’s address in the Strand and an endorsement by Paul Chamberlen in 1716.
