Notes
Second part has sep. t.-p.: "An explanation of the fashion and use of three and fifty instruments of chirurgery. Gathered out of Ambrosius Pareus ... and done into English ... by H.C. [i.e. Helkiah Crooke]" According to Doe (p. 219), "Crooke has abstracted, rather than translated, and has interspersed many comments of his own on surgery and on Paré"
Originally published in 1616 as an epitome or accompanying vol. to Helkiah Crooke's Mikrokosmographia (London, 1615)
