JOHN OGILBY Esq who hath in several years last passed, Printed and Published at his own charge, several Volumes of great Value and Beauty, such as our English Imprimarie had been altogether unacquainted with heretofore, viz. AEsop's Fables Paraphrased and adorned with Sculptures, Virgil, Prince of Latin Poets, Translated, Illustrated with Notes, and adorned with Sculptures; Homer, Prince of all Poets, his Iliads in like manner, set forth and Dedicated to the King's most Excellent Majesty; and next, a Royal Bible Printed at Cambridge, Dedicated to His Majesty, Illustrated with Maps and Chorographical Presentations, fifty of them being Imperial, to be bound in two, or three great Volumes, with not only Chorographical, but Historical adornations; and lastly His Majesty's Entertainments on the 22. of April, 1661. passing through the City to His Coronation, and His Coronation, wherein is Engraven the whole Caval-Cade, the Triumphal Arches, their Inscriptions, Figures, Enigmatical Emblems, indeed the whole Poetical Conduct, Illustrated and defended by noted Observations, drawn both from Modern, Ancient and most Authentic Writers.
