A large extract has already been given from this book, which was
dedicated "To the Right Honourable, the Vertuous, and Religious Lady,
the Lady Katherine Stanhope, wife to the Lord Philip Stanhope, Baron of
Shelford."
Stanhope's other work was entitled,
"Cures without Care, or, a summons to all who finde little or no
help by the use of ordinary physick to repaire to the Northerne
Spa. Wherein by many Presidents of a few late yeares, it is
evidenced to the world, that infirmities in their own nature
desperate and of long continance have received perfect recovery in
the west Riding of Yorkshire. Also a description of the said water,
and of other rare and usefull springs adjoyning, the nature and
efficacie of the Mineralls contained in them, with other not
impertinent notes. Faithfully collected for the publique good by M.
St."
Tibul. "felix quicunque dolore
alterius disces posse carere tuo,"
London, 1632.
Stanhope dedicated this work "To The Right Honourable, Thomas Lord
Wentworth, etc., Lord President of his Majesties Council established in
the North." Lord Wentworth is better known as the Earl of Strafford, and
was beheaded in 1642.
