Notes
A scarce miscellany by William Clubbe (d. 1814), rector of Whatfield in Suffolk. A majority of Clubbe's publications were either on education or translations into or from Latin (especially Horace), but this gathering, issued for a substantial list of subscribers, instead describes his journey around post-Revolutionary France, then continues with critical remarks on witchcraft, Shakespeare, Swift, and Ancient Wit, concluding with a collection of imitations and translations from Latin authors, and then original poems, epigrams and epitaphs. ESTC locates copies in just half a dozen UK locations (plus 14 outside).
