The full text appeared first in an octavo of 1665 and later in the ‘Lives of John Donne, Henry Wotton, Richard Hooker & George Herbert,’ 1670; SP included neither in his library. (The only text of Isaac Walton he did include was the ‘Life of Dr. Sanderson, late Bishop of Lincoln …,’ 1678, PL 1016.)
