Notes: The DNB entry for John Henley, listing this work, gives the note: 'containing, in addition to a 'general preface', a 'Biography of Mr. Henley', professedly by A. Welstede, but evidently by Henley himself. DNB also explains the Latin quotation of the title-page as being the motto chosen by Henley for the medals he struck 'to distribute as tickets to subscribers'. 'The Preface' is signed: 'J. Henley', 'A Narrative', 'A. Welstede', and 'An Idea ... ', 'J.H.'.

'The First Sermon preach'd at the Opening of the Oratory, on Sunday, July 3. 1726. On the Design, and Reasons, of the Institution' is on half-title leaf; the remaining works have caption titles.
