First printed in 1649, this third edition was the last to be revised by Taylor personally, and includes an additional four plates not included in the second (first illustrated) edition. Taylor, much admired for his eloquence and poetical imagination, has garnered great praise throughout the intervening centuries; with Coleridge situating him amongst the masters of early seventeenth century literature, alongside Bacon and Milton leading the author to be dubbed the 'Shakespeare of Divines'.
