The Third Booke of Humours: Intituled Notes from Black-Fryers, opens with an epigram "To his Love: Chamber-Fellow and nearest Friend Nat. Gvrlin of Lincolnes-Inn, Gentleman". The notes are followed by some more verses of Stephens, the epilogue "The Author for Himselfe", and finally a verse 'Post-script to his Book-binder'. Twelve copies of the little volume were reprinted, from the edition of 1620, for Edward Vernon Utterson at the Beldornie Press in 1843. [4]
