1. [The Southwell MS. (see p. 123) bears title "The Political Anatomy of Ireland, 1672." The more elaborate titles of the first and second editions (see Bibliography, 24) were probably composed by the editors in 1691 and 1719. The Verbum Sapienti has been placed before the Anatomy (pp. 99-120), in conformity to the general chronological scheme of arrangement.]
