Accompanied by: Manuscript on paper, in a single hand, containing several works in verse and prose apparently composed by Dorothy Calthorpe. The volume opens with three poems in couplets: "Philismena to Philander," "Philander to Philismena," and "In commendations of a country Life it being so innocent," and a short prose "Discription of the Garden of Edden." These are followed by a longer prose narrative: "A Short History of the Life and Death of Sir Ceasor Dappefer, or els a pleasent histtory of Jewlious and Dorinda the truth of it was so lately represented that some of those worthy persons are stil liueing and ownes what is here repated." The story, which Calthorpe claims is based on the lives of her father and grandfather, traces the business success and courtships of a father and son. "A Castell in the aire, or the pallace of the man in the moone" is a prose work containing both religious reflection and descriptions of "visiones" of Roman gods, eagles and celestial gardens. and The Holy Bible, containing the Old Testament and the New : newly translated out of the original tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised ...London: Henry Hills and John Field, 1660.
