The Posthumous Works of Samuel Butler is a collection of writings by the English poet and satirist Samuel Butler. The works were written during two distinct periods: the Grand Rebellion (1642-1651), which was a series of civil wars in England, and the reign of King Charles II (1660-1685). The book was first published in 1754, after Butler's death, and includes a variety of genres, such as poetry, prose, and political satire. The writings reflect Butler's wit and humor, as well as his commentary on the political and social issues of his time. The book provides an interesting glimpse into the literary and political landscape of 17th century England.To Which Is Added, A Key To Hudibras.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
