With Additions, never before printed …
The first title here was one of the most popular collections of mid-seventeenth century verse, with seventeen editions in the first eighteen years from 1651. At the end are some short prose pieces including ‘The Character of a Diurnal-Maker’. Editions after 1659 include ‘Additions’: 33 new poems not in fact by Cleveland. Cleaveland revived is almost wholly apocryphal.
