Maxims of state With Instructions to his son, and the sons advice to his aged father. Whereunto is added Observations touching trade and commerce with the Hollander and other nations, proving that our sea and land commodities inrich and strengthen other countries against our own. By Sir Walter Raleigh - Raleigh, Walter 1552-1618 (printed for Will. Shears Junior at the Blue Bible in Bedford Street in Covent-garden, 1656)
"Instructions to his sonne" has a separate divisional title page; "The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father", and "Observations concerning the causes of the magnificencie and opulencie of cities" have caption titles; pagination and register are continuous. "Observations touching trade & commerce" has a separate divisional title page, with separate pagination and register. - "The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father" has been wrongly attributed to Raleigh, and is rather an excerpt from Robert Southwell's "An epistle of a religious priest unto his father", first printed in: A short rule of a good life. - First published in 1642 with title: The prince, or, maxims of state. - Reproduction of the original in the Bodleian Library. - Wing (2nd ed.), R176
