Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incognita, or Love and Duty Reconcil'd It was published towards the end of the following February, being advertised in The London Gazette, Number 2742, which covered the period From Thursday February 18 to Monday February 22, 1691 (i.e. 1691 The little duodecimo was printed for Peter Buck, and the impression seems to have met the demands of the next seven or eight years. But among the books printed for Richard Wellington at the Dolphin and Crown at the West end of St. Paul's Churchyard, and chronicled in the Term Catalogues (arber, iii. 154) as Printed and Published in London in Michaelmas Term, 1699, are included two volumes of 'a Collection of pleasant Novels, ' the second of which is said to contain 'the Heroine Musqueteer, or Female Warrior, in Four Parts. Incognita, or Love and Duty reconcil'd. By Mr. Congreve. The Pilgrim, in Two Parts.' Publication in Michaelmas Term of one year would not have deterred Wellington from post-dating his title page for the next, and the British Museum possesses an octavo volume (shelf mark 12511. Bb. 8) which meets the description; it contains the three pieces in the order named, with separate title pages all dated 1700, but forming a combined whole.
