Cloth. Condition: Very Good. None (illustrator). An intruguing facsimile reprint of a 1653 poetical work by a former student of Trinity College, Cambridge, published in his graduation year. There is a single illustration of angels carrying a coffin. HOOKES, NICHOLAS (16281712), author of "Amanda," a Londoner by birth, was a king's scholar at Westminster School (Welch, Alumni Westmonast. p. 132). He was elected to a scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1649, and took the degree of B.A. in 1653. Dryden was his contemporary at Westminster, and followed him to Cambridge in 1650. In 1653 Hookes published a series of poems entitled "Amanda, a Sacrifice to an unknown Goddesse, or a Free-will offering of a Lovinge Heart to a Sweet-Heart," dedicated to the Hon. Edward Montagu, son of Lord Montagu of Boughton. The poems were written, he tells us in his preface, in praise of an entirely imaginary person. In the same year he also published "Miscellanea Poetica" (usually bound up with the "Amanda"), among which may be noticed a poem addressed to the famous Dr. Busby and a dialogue in Latin elegiacs, in which "Scholam Westmonasteriensem alloquuntur vicissim Cantabrigiæ et Oxoniæ genii."
