The author of these poems is unknown. At the beginning is a short paragraph by way of introduction: "A man may have his hobbies now and then, which differ somewhat from his normal dealings, and those "projections" from a "merchants's" pen show a "flat" chart of uncommercial feelings". This is followed by Ôcuidam dilectissimae et caeterisÕ (one of the most beloved etc.), Rather wordy ninties style poems many addressed to different women. In one he (almost certainly a man) talks of giving a woman 100 pounds for a dress.Ñ probably a wealthy dilettante. Very clean and bright with faint marking at rear board, overall very good indeed.
