OR, THE

HISTORY

OF

JOHN BULL^[1].

PUBLISHED FROM

A MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN THE CABINET OF THE FAMOUS SIR H. POLESWORTH, IN THE YEAR 1712.

1. The History of John Bull, when first published in detached parts by J. Morphew in 1712, was said to be "by the Author of the New Atalantis." As it now stands, the whole has been methodised, and some few passages omitted. See particularly chap. xiii.
