HEYWOOD, THOMAS]. A Preparative to Studie: or, the Vertue of Sack. London 1641. Small 4to, 184 x 135mm. (7 1/4 x 5 3/8in.), dark green crushed levant morocco gilt by the Club Bindery, joints and corners worn, small nicks to lower blank margin of title repaired. FIRST EDITION (?) (another edition of the same date bears a different type ornament on title and other typographical differences), 4 leaves. Ashley II: 186 (Heywood); Grolier Wither to Prior 342; Pforzheimer 351; Wing H-1790. Beaumont, Braithwaite, Edwards, Heywood, Randolph and Taylor have each been proposed as the author of this poem in praise of the spiced or mulled white wines from Spain and the Canaries. Jackson, in the Pforzheimer catalogue, argues from internal evidence that neither Beaumont, Heywood nor Randolph could have written it and follows the Grolier catalogue in attributing the work to Dr. Henry Edwards. The 1994 and 1982 editions of the Wing catalogue (vols. 1 and 2 respectively) cite Heywood as the author and the present catalogue follows this. Provenance : Herschel V. Jones; Frederick Spiegelberg, bookplates.
