- Notes: first edition of the preface to Evelyn's unpublished history of the Second Anglo-Dutch War of 1665-67, "an interesting compilation of facts concerning the economic history of Great Britain and Holland" (Keynes). The book was offensive to the Dutch, who demanded its suppression, but copies seized were merely returned to the printer.
