Note 6 — Le hore di recreatione:

Of Whiting himself I have been able to find out very little.6 He was of Queens' College, Cambridge; Brydges erroneously says 'King's', having misread the misprinted 'Regnalis' of James Bernard's commendatory poem. And he must have settled down twenty years later sufficiently to print in 1659, according to Hazlitt, The Saint's Triangle of Duties, Deliverances, and Dangers. The first edition of Albino and Bellama appeared in 1637, with the title Le hore di recreatione: Or, The Pleasant Historie of Albino and Bellama.... By N. W., Master of Arts, of Queenes Colledge in Cambridge. The British Museum also has a copy with an engraved frontispiece as well, adding to which is annexed il insonio insonodado or the vindication of Poesye. These title-pages are also dated 1638, and the engraved title-page was also issued in 1639.
