Howell's Devises, 1581 is a book written by Sir Walter Raleigh and published in 1906. The book is a compilation of poems and emblems that were originally created by a courtier named Thomas Howell in 1581. The emblems in the book are illustrations that are accompanied by a motto and a poem. The poems are written in English and Latin, and they explore themes such as love, friendship, and morality. The book is considered to be an important example of Elizabethan literature and provides insight into the cultural and intellectual trends of the time. Sir Walter Raleigh's introduction to the book provides historical context and analysis of the emblems and poems. Overall, Howell's Devises, 1581 is a fascinating and informative look into the literary and artistic culture of the Elizabethan era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
