Raleigh, Walter,Sir,1552?-1618.
Southwell, Robert,Saint,1561?-1595.Short rule of a good life.
London : Printed by W. Bentley, and are to be sold by W. Shears, at the sign of the Bible, over against the north door of S. Pauls,
1651.
Originally published in 1642 with title: The prince.
The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father has been wrongly attributed to Raleigh. It 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.
Sir Walter Raleigh's instructions to his son (fifth edition) and The dutiful advice of a loving sonne, to his aged father each have separate title page dated 1651 and separate pagination; register is continuous.
Later editions of this work appear to be issued only as part of Remains of Sir Walter Raleigh. However, this edition was apparently published separately.
