Earle published this work anonymously but his authorship was soon well known. The work fits well into "the craze for characters--pithy, Ironic, pen portraits of social and moral types, often with a didactic moral purpose" that was prominent in the 1620s and 30s (ODNB). This edition reprints the text from the firt completed edition of 1633. Chanticleer 55.
