[d] It is true that Nash, in his dedication of the
"Unfortunate Traveller," speaks of it as his "first offering." This,
however, must be taken rather as meaning his first _serious_ effort in
acknowledgment of his patron's bounty, for in "The Terrors of the
Night" (registered on the 30th June, 1593), he somewhat effusively
acknowledges his indebtedness to Lord Southampton:--"Through him my
tender wainscot studie doore is delivered from much assault and
battrie: through him I looke into, and am looked on in the world: from
whence otherwise I were a wretched banished exile. Through him all my
good is conueighed vnto me; and to him all my endeavours shall be
contributed as to the ocean." Again, as evidence that Nash had
addressed himself to Southampton prior to his dedication of "The
Unfortunate Traveller," we glean from his promise ("Terrors of the
Night") "to embroyder the rich store of his eternal renoune" in "some
longer Tractate."

[e] At the same time it must be stated that the scandal of
the controversy between Nash and Harvey became so notorious that in
1599 it was ordered by authority "that all Nashes books and Dr.
Harvey's books be taken wheresoever they may be found and that none of
the said books be ever printed hereafter" (COOPER, _Athenæ Cant._ ii.
