Prose of the Month (October 2010)

According to Geoffrey Keynes, the editor of Browne's Works, it is probably spurious, but "the reader may be left to judge whether Browne would have owned to its verbal extravagances, or would even have gusted so irreverent a pleasantry."

Whatever its true status, it's a delicious piece of pastiche.
