Authorship of the Eik⁻on basilik⁻e was originally attributed to Charles I, but according to Madan, F.F. New bibl. of the Eikon basilike, (pp. 125-33) it was written by John Gauden who probably included some authentic writings of the king.
The Hague imprint is false; really printed in London by William Dugard. Cf. Madan, p. 66.
First two words of title in Greek characters.
Title page in red and black.
Half title: Derniers oeuvres de Sa Majesté de la Grande Bretagne; Charles I.
Prieres de Sa Majesté and Cahiers de la conference par écrit, tenue à Neufchastel have separate dated title pages, and separate registers. The Cahiers have separate pagination. Almack notes that Metamorphose des Isles Fortunées is "usually to be found at the end", and is found thus in the Thomason copy; it too has a separate dated title page, pagination and register. It is complete despite errors in pagination.
The dedication to Metamorphose des Isles Fortunées is signed: D.C. = Denis Cailloué (author of the Ode to the Queen), Cf. Madan, p. 66.
Cahiers de la conference par écrit, tenue à Neufchastel = Thomason E.1255[2].
Metamorphose des Isles Fortunées = Thomason E.1255[3].
Annotation on Thomason copy: "Jan: 1st"; "A Londres"; A La Haye crossed out.
