Advertisement.

The Archaica having been published in separate Parts, without
any fixed order, it is proposed, now that they are brought to a con-
clusion, to arrange them in two volumes, in the following manner.

CONTENTS OF VOL. I.

1. PART THE FIRST. Greene's Philomela.

2. PART THE SECOND.. Greene's Arcadia.

3. PART THE THIRD. South well's Triumphs over Death.

4. PART THE FIFTH. Breton's Characters, and his Good and the Bad.

5. Part THE SEVENTH. Nash's Christ's Tears over Jerusalem.

CONTENTS OF VOL. II.

1. PART THE FOURTH. Harvey's Four Letters and Sonnets touching

Robert Greene.

2. Part The Eighth. | Harvey's Pierce's Supererogation.

Part THE NINTH.

New Letter of Notable Contents.

3. Part THE Sixth. Brathwayte’s Essays upon the Five Senses.

These will form two volumes of an equal size, without sepa-
rating the different pieces of the same author from each other; and
leave the two great adversaries, Greene and Harvey, each at the
head of that volume to which they have contributed the largest
portion of pages.
