Felltham, Owen,1602?-1668,attributed name
Ward, Edward,1667-1731.
[London : s.n.],
Printed in the year, 1699.
A scurrilous satire, sometimes attributed to Edward Ward.
There are apparently two entirely different works with this title and Wing number published in 1697. The first is by an anonymous author who prepared an edition of Owen Felltham's "Batavia: or the Hollanders display'd" (originally published in 1672; Wing F647C), to which, according to his statement in C7684B ("The curry-comb turn'd to its right use"), he added "two sheets and an half" and called it "A trip to Holland". The second, the item catalogued here, is a satire on the Dutch and their country. It is possible that the copies reported at Wing F659 and F659A, i.e. "A trip to Holland", include both of these works, the one laudatory to the Netherlands, and the other, a "scurrilous nonsensical pamphlet".
