| Notes |
Heydon's work is a critique of Francis Osborne's 'Advice to a Son' (1658, described elsewhere in this database), on the grounds that it is 'full of bitterness against women', and 'shamefully Wronged and Abused' them. Heydon replies directly to Osborne's text, chapter-by-chapter and point-by-point. Chapter III on 'Travel', occurs at pp. 92-121. 'Advice to a Daughter' also seems to have provoked a response text: Thomas Pecke's 'Advice to Balam's ass, or, Momus catechised in answer to a certaine scurrilous and abusive scribler, one John Heydon, author of Advice to a Daughter' (1658). Heydon responded in turn with a a second edition of 'Advice to a daughter' (1659). |
