Excerpt from Censura Literaria, Vol. 3: Containing Titles, Abstracts, and Opinions of Old English Books, With Original Disquisitions, Articles of Biography, and Other Literary Antiquities

Sir,

The last time I had the pleasure of meeting you in London, you requested I would furnish you with some information respecting a little volume in my possession. The volume to which I allude is entitled "The most pleasante Historie of Albino and Bellama, a Poeme: to which is annexed the Vindication of Poesie by N. W. London printed and are to be sould by Nicho, Fussell, 1639." It has a titlepage neatly engraved, by Cor. Van. Dahen, from subjects in the poem. Of the author I learn, from a copy of commendatory verses (in Latin) by Jacob Bernard of Trinity College, that Whiting was Master of Arts, and that he was of Kings College, Cambridge. There are several commendatory poems prefixed, as was the custom of the age.
