PREFACE. 
 
 This attempt to describe a peculiar class of books in the 
 literature of our country, has long engaged the Editor's 
 attention; and although it comprises several of little 
 interest, except to the writers and to their immediate 
 connexions, it will be found to contain many of considerable 
 value, highly worthy the attention of those who take an 
 interest in the study of the history, antiquities, and topo- 
 graphy of their country. 
 
 By privately printed books, the Editor means to designate 
 such only, as were not intended by the writers for sale, 
 and the circulation of which, has been confined entirely 
 to their friends and connexions, or to those who took an 
 interest in the matter contained in them. The difEcidty of 
 distinguishing such, will be easily understood by those who 
 have paid any attention to the collecting books of this 
 kind; and amongst the number herein enumerated, it is 
 very probable that some will be found with a doubtful 
 claim to appear in this catalogue. Again, it is exceedingly 
 diflScult to distinguish between books secretly, and privately 
 printed; — with the former, the Editor has not interfered, as 
 they were to all intents and purposes printed for sale, and 
 consequently foreign to the object he had in view. The 
 earliest book which he has judged to be strictly entitled to 
 
 b

 this claim, will be seen in the instance of the rare volume 
 on the English Church, by Archbishop Parker; a work 
 unquestionably printed for private circulation alone; on 
 the examination of which, much pains has been bestowed. 
 Previous to the time of Parker, and on the change of reli- 
 gion, which called forth so many controversial publications 
 from the advocates of different opinions, many were cir- 
 culated without the printer or publisher's name : these, 
 from this circumstance, have been frequently styled pri- 
 vately printed; although there is little doubt they were 
 secretly sold, the fear of prosecution preventing a more 
 public sale. This was not the class of books which came 
 within the Editor's intention to describe ; nor is he aware 
 that if he had attempted it, he could have added much 
 to the information which the labours of Strype, and others, 
 have brought to light upon these books. 
 
 Although he has been long engaged in collecting the 
 materials for this work, he is sensible that many articles have 
 escaped his search ; the peculiarity under which these works 
 have for the most part been printed, rendering the task the 
 more difficult — this, however, is invariably the case vpith 
 attempts of this kind, and he could hardly have expected, 
 had he longer delayed its appearance, to have rendered it 
 much more perfect. 
 
 It was not within his design to include pamphlets : the 
 number of tracts which have been privately circulated in 
 this shape, is too great, and in most cases they are of 
 too ephemeral and uninteresting a nature, to have permitted 
 him to make so considerable and so useless an addition to 
 his volume : a few exceptions have been made, which the 
 subject, or the celebrity of the writer, seemed to justify. 
 
 The Editor has not felt himself at liberty to indulge 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 in any remarks of a critical nature; the circumstances under 
 which these works have appeared, clearly preclude him 
 from such a course : where notices of that nature appear, 
 the source from which they have been derived is mentioned, 
 and the opinion will be respected according to the value 
 placed upon the authority. It was his intention to have 
 added a catalogue of suppressed books ; but the length to 
 which this work has extended, as well as the delay which 
 would have been incurred, have induced him to abandon the 
 design : he had made some progress in collecting materials 
 for that purpose, which should the present attempt be 
 favourably received, he may be induced to resume. 
 
 The second portion of the work, consisting of an account 
 of the publications from literary clubs, and prirate presses, 
 will probably be found the more interesting : no pains have 
 been spared to render it perfect, and the Editor's endeavours 
 have been most liberally and kindly seconded by the different 
 parties most able to give him information. 
 
 Private presses appear to have existed at a very early 
 date in this country: a slight sketch is here attempted 
 of those which have come under notice, in the researches 
 for books connected with this undertaking. At the period 
 of the Reformation, the advocates of the ancient faith were 
 compelled, from the fear of prosecution, and the severe 
 punishment entailed on the printer of seditious works, as 
 these Were then styled, to avail themselves of a foreign press 
 for the dissemination of their opinions. The inconvenience 
 and delay thereby occasioned, naturally led to the establish- 
 ment of a private press in this country. " The first 
 appearance," says Johnson,* "of pamphlets amongst us, is

 generally thought to be at the new opposition raised against 
 the errors and corruptions of the church of Rome. Those 
 who were first convinced of the reasonableness of the new 
 learning, as it was then called, propagated their opinions in 
 small pieces, which were cheaply printed; and what was 
 then of great importance, easily concealed. These treatises 
 were generally printed in foreign countries, and are not 
 therefore, always very correct. There was not that oppor- 
 tunity of printing in private | for the number of printers 
 was small, and the presses easily overlooked by the clergy, 
 who spared no labour or vigilance for the suppression of 
 heresy. There is, however, reason to suspect that some 
 attempts were made to carry on the propagation of truth, by 
 a secret press ; for one of the first treatises in favour of the 
 Reformation, is said, at the end, to be printed at Greenwich, 
 by permission of the Lord of Hosts" 
 
 Edward III. founded a convent at Greenwich, in 1376; but 
 the record of its foundation is buried in much obscurity. In 
 1486, Henry VII. however, granted a charter to the Francis- 
 can Friars there established. In the reign of his successor, 
 Katharine of Arragon was a great protector of this order, and 
 one of its members was her confessor ; having taken up the 
 cause of their illustrious patroness, when the divorce from her 
 brutal husband was in agitation, that monarch, in revenge, 
 suppressed the whole order throughout the kingdom. They 
 assembled again, on the accession of Queen Mary, but 
 Elizabeth finally suppressed the establishment, in 1559.* 
 
 In the reign of Queen Mary, a small tract, purports to 
 be printed at Greenwich, entitled Afaythful Admrniycion of 
 a certain trewe pastor andprophete sent into the Germanes, &(c.

 now translated into Inglyshe, Sfc." At the end it is stated, 
 Imprynted at Greenioych, by Conrade Freeman, in the month 
 of May, 1554. Dr. Cotton,* however, is of opinion, that 
 it was executed in the Low Countries, or Switzerland : 
 a copy of the tract is in the. Bodleian Library. 
 
 In the reign of Edward VL, a press is said to have been 
 in action in Devonshire, about the period when the insur- 
 rection in that county, broke out against the authority "of 
 that monarch. So great appears to have been the annoyance 
 which the existence of private and unlicensed presses gave 
 to the ruling powers, that it is reported to have given rise in 
 the reign of Queen Mary, " to a charter granted to certain 
 freemen of London, in whose fidelity no doubt she confided, 
 entirely prohibiting all presses but what should be licensed 
 by them — which charter is that, by which the Company 
 of Stationers in London is at this time incorporated, "f 
 
 In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a private press was 
 erected at Wandsworth, where the Nonconformists esta- 
 blished in 1572, a presbytery, "Ae first born of all the 
 presbyteries in England."^ The most aetive member of 
 this establishment, was Thomas Cartwright, the brother-in- 
 law of Stubbs, who with Pdge, *' had their right hands cut 
 off with a cleaver, ■ driven through the wrist by the force of 
 a mallet, upon a scaffold in the market-place at Westmin- 
 8ter,"§ for being concerned in the publication of a pamphlet 
 against the projected match between Queen Elizabeth and 
 the Duke of Anjou; styled in the proclamation ia 1579, as

 "a lewd seditious book, rashly compiled and secretly- 
 printed." Herbert* mentions a book, entitled Certain 
 Articles, ^c, said to have been privately printed at Wandsor 
 [Wandsworth], near London, 8vo. 1572. 
 
 " This junto," says Collier, f " published a great many 
 venomous pamphlets, under the disguise of Martin Mar- 
 Prelate." The same authority says, " The Puritan libels 
 were generally printed by one Walgrave : he had a 
 travelling press for this purpose ; 'twas removed from 
 Moulsey, near Kingston upon Thames, to Fawsley, in 
 Northamptonshire. The next stage was Norton; from 
 Norton 't was shifted to Coventry." 
 
 The exertions of the ministers of Elizabeth at length 
 broke up the press at Wandsworth. It is said to have been 
 established again at Esher, and conducted in such secresy, 
 as to have defied all the efforts made to destroy it. From 
 this press issued the pamphlets, directed against Archbishop 
 Whitgift ; . and, when finally put down at Manchester, by 
 the Earl of Derby, where the printer and press were both 
 seized, it was employed upon the well-known pamphlet, 
 called More Work for a Cooper. " Never," says Mr. 
 DTsraelijJ " did sedition travel so fast, nor conceal itself so 
 closely ; for they employed a moveable press ; and as soon 
 as it was surmised that Martin was in Surrey, it was found 
 he had removed to Northamptonshire, while the next 
 account came that he was shewing his head in War- 
 wickshire." These proceedings of this sect appear to have 
 been finally extinguished by Elizabeth; and no more is

 heard of them until 1635, when Heylyn says,* they again 
 made their appearance. 
 
 The reign of the peaceful James appears to have been 
 little disturbed by the productions of private presses, 
 although the work of Vorstius, ' De Deo,' published on 
 the Continent, which was publicly burnt here, gave him 
 considerable uneasiness ; and was the subject of a long 
 diplomatic correspondence.f The reign of his unfortunate 
 successor has been well styled by Johnson, the " Age of 
 Pamphlets." The British Museum contains the celebrated 
 collection of the tracts published on both sides of the then 
 prevailing controversy, consisting of upwards of two thou- 
 sand volumes. This valuable series was presented to the 
 nation by the munificence of George III. More than 
 one hundred volumes in this collection were clandestinely 
 printed at private presses, all traces of which are now 
 obliterated. 
 
 During the puritanical reign of the usurper Crom- 
 well, Rinuccinij the Pope's legate, established presses at 
 Kilkenny and Waterford, for the purpose of disseminating 
 those doctrines which he conceived to be essential to the 
 interests of his master. J Dr. O'Connor styles them vile 
 publications. § 
 
 In the reign of James 11. Obadiah Walker " set up cases 
 of letters and a press in the back part of his lodgings,

 be printed the works of Ab. Woodward, his quondam tutor, 
 and would have printed many more (all, or most, against the 
 Church of England), had King James II. continued longer 
 on the throne." * 
 
 Among the tracts printed at this press, was. Some Re/lec- 
 tiom, by Thomas Deane, Fellow of University College, 
 an. 1688, 4to. Walker had a license granted to him by 
 the King, dated May 1686, for the exclusive sale of certain 
 books for twenty-one years. The list of them is printed in 
 the second volume of Gutch's Miscellanea Curiosa : they are 
 all in favour of the Roman Catholic religion. 
 
 Dr. Lee, in a memorial, states that at Holyrood House 
 several papers and works were printed, by the authority of 
 James II. 
 
 Few traces remain of private presses after this time, the 
 necessity for establishing them having pretty well subsided, 
 from the tranquillity consequent on the Revolution. Politics 
 and religion, the two prime agents which supplied these 
 secret presses, being generally allowed to state their claims 
 and advance their arguments with tolerable freedom. The 
 Rebellion in Scotland may perhaps have given rise to a 
 temporary establishment of such a press. Dr. Cotton men- 
 tions, that a private press appears to have been once 
 established at Ragland Castle, in Monmouthshire; from 
 whence issued, A Collection of Loyal Sof^s, Poems, 8^c. said 
 to be privately printed, in 1750.f 
 
 The piu'poses to which the institution of private presses 
 have been applied in later days, have differed considerably 
 from those of former times. The more elegant branches

 of literature, poetry, history, and topography, have sup- 
 planted the controversies of the religious bigot and political 
 partizan. 
 
 To the slight but imperfect sketch already given, there 
 remains but little to add. The first that occurs, is that of a 
 press established at Glynde, near Lewes in Sussex ; a seat 
 belonging to the late Lord Hampden, which Dr. Cotton 
 states to have been erected in the year 1770. 
 
 The Bodleian Library contains the first sheet only of a 
 poem, called The Summer Day, a Descriptive Pastoral, ito. 
 Glynd, 1770. 
 
 The celebrated John Wilkes had a press at his house, in 
 Great George Street, Westminster, where he printed two 
 works, mentioned in this volume.* 
 
 At Hafod, in Cardiganshire, now the property of his 
 Grace the Duke of Newcastle, its late owner, Mr. Johnes, 
 established a press; from whence issued, as is well known, 
 the Chronicles of Froissart, Monstrelet, and Joinville; works 
 which, independent of their typographical excellence as the 
 productions of a private press, have conferred a^ lasting 
 benefit on the literature of the country. 
 
 At Hartwell, in Buckinghamshire, when occupied by the 
 exiled Royal Family of France, it is said that a press was 
 used for the piu'pose of printing proclamations, and other 
 small pieces, in support of the claims of the House of 
 Bourbon. 
 
 This imperfect account of private presses cannot better be 
 closed than by the notice of that established at Winter 
 Haebour, off Melville Island, by Captain Parry and his 
 enterprising companions, in 1819 and 1820, when the sound

 of the tympan and frisket were heard, for the first time, 
 amid " a bleak expanse, shagged o'er with wavy rocks, 
 cheerless and void," and the North Georgia Gazette and 
 Winter Chronicle, made its first appearance. 
 
 In the present volume will be fomid a more particular 
 history of other private presses, the number and importance 
 of their productions appearing to dfemand a more complete 
 account. 
 
 Nothing now remains for the Editor, than that he should 
 discharge one of the pleasantest parts of his duty; namely, 
 that of acknowledging the great kindness and valuable 
 assistance he has received. 
 
 To enumerate all the diflferent parties who have taken an 
 interest in his undertaking, — who have aided him by their 
 advice, and furnished him with several valuable communi- 
 cations, he would have to record a list which, however gra- 
 tifying to himself, would most probably weary the reader's 
 patience, and appear like an endeavour to throw over his 
 work an air of consequence and value far beyond its deserts. 
 In the work itself will be found his acknowledgments to 
 several friends, for particular assistance; but, although he 
 refrains from swelling his list with the names of all to 
 whose kindness he is indebted, he cannot content himself 
 without particular mention of a few, whose assistance has 
 been most material. 
 
 From the earliest announcement of his intentions, the 
 Venerable Archdeacon Wrangham has constantly favoured 
 him with numerous and important communications, drawn, 
 for the most part, from his own valuable library, rich in 
 books of the cleiss herein described. 
 
 The Venerable Archdeacon Cotton, whose bibliogra- 
 phical knowledge is too well appreciated to require the 
 
PREFACE. XIU 
 
 feeble tribute of his pen, the Editor has to thank for several 
 curious communications, and for his readiness in answering 
 inquiries, which he has had occasion to trouble him with. 
 
 To the Rev. Dr. Lamb, Master of Corpus Christi 
 College, Cambridge, he begs to return his thanks for his 
 condescension in examining Archbishop Parker's work, not 
 only in the Library of his own College, but in other 
 Libraries of that University. 
 
 To the Rev. Dr. Bandinel, Keeper of the Bodleian 
 Library, Oxford, and the Rev. John Lodge, Keeper of the 
 Public Library, at Cambridge, his thanks are due, for the 
 great kindness with which they forwarded his views, and 
 facilitated his access, not only to the treasures entrusted to 
 their peculiar care, but to the various other Libraries dis- 
 persed in the different Colleges of the two Universities; 
 and from the Keepers of which he is bound, for the most 
 part, to acknowledge the greatest attention to his wishes. 
 
 To the Rev. Dr. Bliss, his acknowledgments are due, for 
 the very lively interest he has displayed in seconding his 
 wishes during his visits to Oxford. 
 
 To Charles George Young, Esq., F.S.A., York Herald, 
 his thanks are pre-eminently due. The readiness with 
 which that gentleman renders his valuable assistance to 
 any literary undertaking, is well known; and the present 
 work has had the benefit of his suggestions, and been 
 enriched by several of the most important and valuable 
 books described in it. 
 
 To Mr. Thomas Moule, he has to render his sincere 
 thanks, not only for several interesting communications, 
 but for the benefit of his correct taste, in many of the illus- 
 trations dispersed throughout the volume. 
 
 From the Shakspeare Press, several of the works herein

 described have issued; and to Mr. Nicol, the proprietor of 
 that establishment, he is indebted for valuable hints with 
 respect to the works printed by him, as well as for some 
 very interesting information, which vrithout his kindness 
 he should have been unable to have obtained. 
 
 The Editor regrets that the expenses necessarily incurred 
 in printing this work, have been so considerable as to make 
 it necessary to fix a high price upon it ; which he trusts will 
 not be considered unreasonable, when it can be truly 
 stated that the sale of all the copies will not pay the cost. 
 But he will feel amply rewarded for the labour this attempt 
 has cost him, should it be found worthy a place among 
 the few bibliographical works of this country; and, in the 
 words of the Historian of the Aldine Press, "il con- 
 serve I'espoir qu'au moins par un petit nombre de personnes 
 bien disposees en sa faveur, son livre ne sera point juge 
 labor irritus et incassum."

 It is not easy to ascertain, at this remote period, whether many of the 
 works which are called privately printed, are strictly entitled to that 
 distinction. The absence of a publisher's name is by no means a certain 
 indication ; many of the volumes were written on points of rehgious or

 political controversy, and being obnoxious to the prevailing system, 
 were naturally put forth in a manner that might not draw down the 
 arm of the law upon the printer ; but that they were distributed secretly, 
 and might be purchased by the members of the sect whose opinions they 
 supported, there can he little doubt; many were imported from abroad: 
 a list of them maybe seen in Strype's Life of Parker,* — these bearing no 
 place or publisher's name, are frequently designated as privately printed ; 
 an erroneous conclusion, as it was simply from fear of prosecution that 
 these marks are found wanting. 
 
 The rare and curious volume now under consideration may, however, 
 justly be entitled a privately printed volume. The copy which Arch- 
 bishop Parker sent to the Lord Treasurer Burghley, was accompanied 
 by a letter,! in which he states : — 
 
 " The reason of his employing himself in this study, was to make 
 compensation for his not preaching oftener. For neither his health nor 
 quiet would sufifer him to be a common preacher ; yet he thought it not 
 unfit for him to be otherwise occupied in some points of religion, for his 
 meaning was by that his poor collection, thus caused to be printed and 
 yet reserved to himself, to note at what time Augustin, his first predeces- 
 sor, came into England, &c.'' The work was printed at Lambeth, by 
 John Day: the archbishop states in another part of the same letter, 
 "that he had within his house in wages, drawers [of pictures], and 
 cutters [that is, engravers], painters, limners, writers and book- 
 binders." 
 
 The archbishop's share in this compilation has been a matter of con- 
 siderable dispute. In the letter above mentioned, he states it to have 
 been the amusement of his leisure hours ; and Dr. Drake, in the preface 
 to his edition, is of opinion that Parker was himself the author. The 
 fair conclusion, however, will I think be that the archbishop received 
 considerable assistance, the chief of which was from Dr. Ackworth J 
 and Josselyn his secretary. In the copy in the Lambeth Hbrary, there are 
 
 * Vol. ii. p. 392. 
 
 f Strype's Life of Parker, vol. ii. pp. 244-5. 
 
 \ Dr. George Ackworth had been orator of the University of Cambridge, 
 and became an inmate of Parker's house about 1570 ; which Strype observes, 
 " was a kind of common receptacle for learned and ingenious men." 
 
M.D.LXXII. 3 
 
 several manuscript papers, letters, and notes ; among them vitR be found 
 some proofs that Ackworth and Josselyn had a considerable share in 
 the compilation. At the beginning of the Life of St. Augustine,* we find 
 this note : " These 24 pages of St. Augustine's Life were thus begun by 
 George Ackworth, Dr. of laws, at the appointment of Mathew Parker, 
 Archbishop of Canterbury, and the lives of all the Archbishops should 
 have in this course been perfected— (some words not intelligible)— but 
 deth prevented it." Dr. Ackworth was living in 1576, but how long after 
 is not known. In the title page of the History, in the same copy, 
 is the foUowing note ; " This historic was collected and penned by John 
 Josselyn, one of the sons of Sir Thomas Josselyn, Knight, by the 
 appointment and oversight of Mathew Parker, Archbishop of Cant.; 
 the said John being entertained in the said Archb. house, as one of his 
 antiquaries, to whom, besides the allowance afforded to hym in his house, 
 he gave to hym the parsonage of Hollinboum in Kent, &c." There can 
 be little doubt that the plan of the work was leiid down by the archbishop ; 
 and although he received considerable assistance in its progress, the 
 materials were chiefly supplied from his own collections of ecclesiastical 
 history. 
 
 The number of copies printed must have been very small. In the letter 
 already quoted, the author states, "he had not given to four men in 
 the whole realm ; and peradventure, it shall never come to sight abroad, 
 though some men, smelling of the printing it, were very desirous cravers 
 of the same." Dr. Drake states, at the period he was preparing his new 
 edition, that he had met with twenty-one copies. I have taken some 
 pains to trace out those existing at the present time, the list of which is 
 as follows : — 
 
 1. The British Museum, Queen EUzabeth's copy. 
 
 2. In the same library, Lord Arundel's copy. 
 
 3. Lambeth Library. 
 
 4. Cambridge Public Library, Bishop Moore's copy, and formed one

 reason to alter my intentions, and disposed of my three copies other- 
 wise; viz. two to the Archbishop of Cant., and one to Ben'et College."

 portrait has been taken out, and placed in the celebrated illustrated 
 Granger in that library. The following note is in Rawlinson's hand 
 writing, " collated, and according to my best thoughts, this edition per- 
 fect." It has a few illustrations added to it, and has a modern blue 
 morocco binding, but the binder has played sad work with the margin. 
 
 These are all the copies I have been enabled, after considerable in- 
 quiry, to discover;* all of which I have collated. In Lord Spencer's 
 copy, most obligingly sent from Althorp for my inspection, I find a note 
 of his lordship's, stating that there is a copy at Holkham. Whether the 
 splendid copy sent to the Lord Treasurer, which Parker states " that 
 he had bound it costly, and laid in colours the arms of the Church of 
 Canterbury, empaled with his own paternal coat," still remains in the 
 library of his descendant, I have been unable to ascertain. 
 
 It has been observed that no two copies of this work have been found 
 alike ; and I can bear witness to the truth of the assertion in those I 
 have collated. For this there is perhaps a^nraa /acie reason in Parker's 
 own words : who says — " For the present he purposed to keep it by 
 him, while he lived, to add and mend as occasion should serve him, or 
 
 * Since these pages were in the printer's hands, the edit6r has been informed 
 by the Rev. Archdeacon Wrangham, to whom he is very greatly indebted for 
 several interesting communications, that there is a copy in the cathedral 
 library at York, and he has also heard that there is another in the library of 
 the Dean and Chapter at Durham.

 utterly to suppress it, and to bren it." The variations are however so 
 singular,, that long as this account already is, I trust the rarity of the 
 volume will excuse my giving some acco\mt of them as they occur in 
 the copies enumerated above. 
 
 The collation of Nos. 1 and 2 will be found in Lowndes's Bibliographical 
 Manual, and I apprehend these to be the earliest copies that issued 
 from Parker's press. Queen Elizabeth's is bound in green velvet ; the 
 title pages with the arms of the bishoprics are illuminated, and on 
 veUum. The volume is ruled throughout. Lord Arundel's copy " Ex 
 dono Mathei Cantuariensis Archiepiscopi," has no vellum leaves; but 
 the arms of the bishoprics, with some of the capital letters, are illu- 
 minated. These two copies, with the one presented to Burghley, most 
 probably form part of the four the archbishop states as having been 
 presented by him ; since it is pretty certain that he would present his 
 royal Mistress and her principal officers with the first that issued from 
 the press. In page 4 (of these two copies) — Augustine, the lines 
 commencing "adde quod" are printed in two columns, and in italics; 
 at page 95, the enumeration of bishops and abbots, after the bishop 
 of London, ends thus — " cum multis aliis episcopis et abbatis ut en 
 Archiuis patet;" this distinction prevails also in Nos. 4 and 10. 
 
 In all the other copies (with the exception of Mr. Grenville's), which 
 I apprehend to have been printed subsequently, the verses will be found 
 not in double columns, but in long lines, and in Roman characters. The 
 "multis aliis" are enumerated, occupying nearly half a page; with 
 these copies also the Life of Parker,* printed in 1576, wiU frequently 
 be found; which is not the case with those which are considered the 
 earlier ones. 
 
 I proceed to notice the variations from the copies No. 1 and 2, in 
 the British Museum. 
 
 • " For it is to be known, that our archbishop's life was written in elegant 
 Latin, and ready for the printing, under the title of Matthaeus ; and though it 
 came not forth with the rest of the Lives in the aforesaid book, yet it got into 
 the press afterwards, and, as it seems, in the archbishop's life-time, and with 
 his privity. Those (and they very few) that were printed, were kept carefully 
 undispersed (I believe) in the archbishop's own possession till his death."

 vellum, illuminated; and the Catalog. Cancel, with the arms of colleges 
 also on vellum, the anns only illuminated; the leaf of the public schools,

 Peter House and Cambridge incorrect. This copy wants in "De

 No. 12. — Mr. Grenville's. This copy contains the Life of Parker; 
 with the rare portrait, and Woodburn's copy of it;* but it is very im- 
 
 * The distinctions between the original and copy in Mr. Grenville's are these : 
 In the inscription round the portrait, in the original, there is a mark of 
 abbreviation over "mudus," not in the copy. The figures are 70 in the 
 original, 69 in the copy; the date 1573 in the original, 1572 in the copy: 
 the same variations prevail in Mr. Russell's impression of the portrait, in the 
 copy at Eton, the Duke of Buckingham's, that at Lambeth, and in Messrs. 
 Colnaghi's. Mr.Woodburn says, that his was copied from an impression with 
 the mark and figures exactly as he has copied them, but he has no recollection 
 where that impression is at this time. It is remarkable that all the original 
 impressions I have seen, have evidently had the dates corrected since the 
 engraving was executed ; impressions therefore of the portrait in the state of 
 Mr. Woodburn's copy, must be very early, and I apprehend very rare ; the 
 original copper-plate is supposed to be in existence. 
 
M.D.LXXII. 9 
 
 perfect: there is however a singularity in this copy which I have found 
 in no other. The lines at p. 4, of Augustine, are not in columns, but 
 in long line ; and the enumeration of the abbots and bishops ends with 
 the bishop of London, &c. "ut in Archiuis patet." In all other copies, 
 when the lines have been printed in this manner, the bishops have 
 always been enumerated at length. 
 
 No. 13. — The Rev. T. Russell's copy is certainly a very fine one as far 
 as it is complete, but it unfortunately wants several of the addenda, viz. 
 the Catalogus Cane. ; the wood-cut of the public schools ; Catalogus, six- 
 teen pages, &c. : but, to compensate in some degree for these defects, 
 it contains a very fine impression of the portrait of the archbishop in 
 its genuine state — and the volume is most admirably bound in blue 
 morocco, by C. Lewis. 
 
 No. 14. — In the library of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. 
 This copy, although very incomplete, is remarkable for containing the 
 History of Augustine, mentioned in No. 3, but which has evidently been 
 inserted after it had been bound. 
 
 No. 15. — Corpus Christi College. This copy wants the title page. 
 The arms of Peter House and Cambridge are incorrect — ^it is, rather 
 singular, that although Parker was so great a benefactor to this college, 
 it did not possess a copy of his work, until Baker presented it. 
 
 No. 16. — Eton College. This copy, which is certainly a very complete 
 one, has the title page and the cut of the public schools on yellum ; 
 the Life of Parker, and the rare " History of Augustine." The list of 
 books given by Parker to his college is in MS. : there are several 
 marginal notes; and a letter from Dr. Drake, who consulted it for the 
 purpose of the new edition. 
 
 In those copies originally, as I imagine, issued 1^ Parker, the two 
 following variations will be observed from what I consider to be those 
 issued subsequently, viz. — on the wood-cut leaf, " Catalogus Cancellm." 
 with the arms of the colleges at the back, the armorial bearings of Peter 
 House will be found on a shield gules, charged with two keys saltierwise; 
 the arms of the University, a bridge, with the waves issuing through 
 
10 
 
 M.D.LXXII. 
 
 three arches; above this device is an interior of a room, with a doctor 
 seated and capped, between two priests standing in robes. 
 
 In the later copies, the arms of Peter House will be found as now 
 borne, viz. — Paly, or, and gules on a border of the second, an orle of 
 crowns, and of the University, gules, on a cross ermine between four 
 lions passant guardant, or', a Bible clasped and garnished. 
 
 The arms of Cambridge, as now borne, were granted in 1575 ; and 
 from Parker being so closely connected with Cambridge, and perhaps 
 being consulted on the grant, he very naturally had the erroneous bear- 
 ings altered. In the copies No. 1 and 2, now in the British Museum, 
 the corrected arms of Cambridge will be found pasted over the others, 
 but those of Peter House remain incorrect. 
 
 The edition of Hanau, folio, 1605, has been reprinted from one 
 of the early copies, as the bishops and abbots end with " Archiuis patet ;" 
 in Dr. Drake's edition, 1729, although they are enumerated, yet the arms 
 of Peter House and Cambridge are printed from the wrong armorial 
 bearings. 
 
 It is impossible to conclude this account without bearing testimony 
 to the noble example which this eminent prelate held forth in the 
 encouragement of learning and learned men, which is shewn not only 
 in the publication and embeUishment of this singular volume, but in 
 the collection of curious and rare books which his library contained, 
 now in Ben'et College. 
 
 The wood-cut here given is taken from his work, and is supposed to 
 represent the archbishop preaching.

 This book has usually been called privately printed, for which reason 
 it is retained here, though I think it very doubtful. The reason given 
 in the Censura Literaria,* in the account of this book — that because no 
 bookseller's name appears in the title page it was most probably so — is a 
 very unsatisfactory one. The elegies are, for the most part, on the 
 royalists who lost their lives in the civil war.

 This treatise was printed, but not published,* and was most probably

 for the use of friends, I think it very doubtful that its sale was not 
 general. It is retained however, principally, as it affords an opportunity 
 of stating that the curious manuscript collections made by Mr. Anstis 
 for this purpose, are now deposited in the British Museum, having 
 been purchased by the trustees, at the sale of Sir G. Nayler's library

 Collections concerning the Manor of Harden, in the 
 County of Hereford. 1722-1727. Small folio. 
 
 The collation of this very rare topographical volume will be found in 
 Mr. Upcott's work on Topography. The original copies have no title 
 page; the scarcity of the index induced the Rev. Morgan Cove, pre- 
 bendary of Hereford, to reprint, in 1813, at his own expense, twelve 
 copies, being sheets Xxxxxxxx to Ddddddddd; in all 28 pages. Dr. Cove 
 also printed the same number of copies of a title page, and a brief his- 
 torical descent of the manor of Marden, 2 pages [from Duncomb's Here- 
 fordshire]. These reprints were all executed by Thomas Davies, printer, 
 Hereford, and are nearly a fac-simile of the type of the original volume. 
 
 These collections contain authentic extracts and transcripts of injunc- 
 tions, records, &c., the originals of which were difficult of access, and 
 many, in all probability, no longer exist. Thomas, Earl of Coningsby, 
 who compiled this laborious work, and printed it at his own cost (pro- 
 bably in London), attempted to establish, by the documents he had col- 
 lected together, claims on private property in Marden, Amberley, and 
 other places in the vicinity, which he conceived ought to have belonged 
 to him in right of his title of lord of the manor of Marden, which manor 
 was purchased by him in 1717.

 "Dr. Thomas Burnet had written a treatise, 'De Statu Mortuorum et 
 Resurgentium," of which he had a few copies printed for the use of 
 himself and his friends. One of these, after the author's death, happened 
 to fall into Dr. Mead's hands ; who not knowing the author, but liking 
 the hook, had twenty-Jive copies handsomely printed in quarto : Mattaire 
 revising the press, who made many blunders, by inserting manuscript 
 notes and additions from the author's interleaved copy into improper 
 places of the text, Mr. Wilkinson, of Lincoln's Inn, who was executor 
 to Dr. Cumet, lent Dr. Mead afterwards a corrected copy, ' of which 
 Dr. Mead was at the expense of printing fifty copies, with a caution 
 prefixed, to those chosen few on whom the book was bestowed, not to 
 suiFer it to be translated, or reprinted and published; but this did not 
 prevent a bad translation and a spurious edition soon after getting abroad. 
 So, to do justice to the author's memory, Mr. Wilkinson liimself caused 
 
M.DCC.XXX. 25 
 
 an octavo edition to be printed and published, as well of this book as of 
 another, entitled, ' De Fide et OfBciis Christianorum,' of which Lord 
 Chancellor Macclesfield had prevailed on him to suffer as many copies 
 to be printed, and in the same size, as Dr. Mead's edition of the ' De 
 Statu Mortuorum et Resurgentium.' These gentlemen, with Mattaire, 
 are the three persons whom Wilkinson means, but does not name, in the 
 preface to his octavo edition of these two books in 1727."*

 who was desirous of having the whole series engraved. He wished the 
 engravings to he the precise representations of the originals. In his 
 search, therefore, he was anxious to obtain an artist whose abilities were 
 equal to the copying of the antique, and yet so much under command as 
 not to improve any imperfection of the more moderate, or to fling on the 
 more beautiful a cast of style, however admirable in itself, which the gem 
 did not justify. It is not surprising, therefore, that some time elapsed 
 before the Duke's inquiries met with success. 
 
 "At length, about the year 1724, M. Gosmond, a Frenchman, was 
 recommended as well qualified to answer his Grace's expectations. 
 
 " The Duke, as was natural for a liberal man, evinced his satisfaction 
 by many offices of generosity. But these unfortunately met with no 
 grateful return : perhaps they were even the very cause of ingratitude. 
 For M. Gosmond conceiving that he had so strong a hold of his patron's 
 good opinion as to establish himself in the family, relaxed in his atten- 
 tion, and by degrees entered into dissipation. The work now went on 
 slowly, and objects of expense continued to increase on him. His calls 
 on the Duke, therefore, were more frequent, while his claims for 
 patronage were diminishing; and thus every day forfeiting the esteem of 
 his noble employer, the Duke was under the necessity of declaring to 
 him, when ninety-nine plates were finished, that he had already paid 
 considerably more than the stipulated sum for the whole work, and with 
 the hope of obliging him to be more attentive, refused to answer any 
 further demands till the work should proceed less negligently. 
 
 " Meeting with this unexpected refusal, and fearing the impatience of 
 his creditors, M. Gosmond secretly left the kingdom, and carried many 
 of the plates with him. What became of him after his return to the 
 Continent is uncertain : inquiries were made, but they proved ineffectual. 
 
 " From this unlucky accident the Duke was frustrated in his purpose ; 
 nor was Jie enabled to make up a few sets for his friends of what even 
 were done. For, either impressions from several of the plates were not 
 taken, or, if they were, they had been carried away by M. Gosmond. 
 It does not appear what the number of plates left in the possession of 
 the Duke amounted to. The Rev. C. M. Cracherode, whose taste and 
 munificence are well known, could never obtain, though he made it an 
 object, more than one hundred and one.

 " The following account is from Mr. West's Catalogue of Books, 
 No. 2790— 
 
 " ' The Ddee of Devonshire's Cabinet op Gems, by Gosmond, 
 39 plates, being all that were engraved. M. Gosmond, a Frenchman, 
 was employed by the old Duke of Devonshire to engrave his cabinet of 
 gems, but when he had gone through the few here collected, he ran 
 away, leaving some plates behind, and carrying the rest with him. What 
 plates came into the Duke's hands he favoured me with proofs from : 
 another parcel was purchased in France by the Hon. B. Bathurst, and 
 presented to me by him. A. D. 1730.' " * 
 
 From the preceding note, itvrill easily be understood that copies of this 
 work are extremely rare. Dr. Dibdin,f in his account of it, states that 
 only four copies are known — viz. in the libraries of the Duke of Devon- 
 shire, the late Mr. Cracherode, now in the British Museum (101 plates). 
 Earl of Besborough,! and Earl Spencer : in addition to these, the editor 
 has ascertained that there are copies in the possession of the following 
 parties: — ^the Duke of Bedford (100 plates); Hunterian Museum, 
 Glasgow; Sir J. Thorold, Mr. Botfield, Mr. Fountaine, and Sir A. 
 Johnstone [formerly Mrs. Damer's] ; this last has ninety-eight plates. 
 
 The original gems are in his Grace's mansion in Piccadilly.

 This volume, it is well known, was compiled by Hooke, the historian ; 
 it was a work which attracted great notice at the period of its pubUcar

 " Your friend, the Duchess of Marlborough, has, in your absence, 
 employed me as your substitute; and I have brought Mr. Hooke t and 
 her together, and having done that will leave the rest to them, not caring 
 to meddle myself with an affair, which, I am sure, will not turn out at 
 last to her satisfaction, though I hope and believe it will to his advan- 
 tage." J > 
 
 " This favourite Duchess, who, like the proud Duke of Epemon, lived 
 to brave the successors in a Court where she had domineered, wound up 
 her capricious life, where, it seems, she had begun it, with an apology 
 for her conduct. The piece, though weakened by the prudence of those 
 who were to correct it, though maimed by her Grace's own corrections, 
 and though great part of it is rather the annals of a wardrobe than of a 
 reign, yet has still curious anecdotes, and a few of those sallies of wit, 
 which fourscore years of arrogance could not fail to produce in so 
 fantastical an understanding." §

 very weak, passionate woman. She spoke ill, and her Memoirs are very

 " The spirit, humour, and language of this extraordinary piece 
 proclaim it genuine. All that vivacity and contempt of dignities, which 
 distinguish her from all other ladies, shine with such lustre in the book 
 as to set it beyond comparison, except with Lord Clarendon's History, 
 which I conceive to be like it, for this reason — he wrote it to shew that 
 throughout his whole life he was ever in the right, and her ladyship has 
 the goodness to publish her conduct, to shew that she was never once in 
 the wrong." f

 The author, in the conclusion to the preface, p. viii. intimates that the 
 printing of this volume was with the view of obviating the opinion of

 a desire of making to a few particular friends a present, in an academical

 An Essay on Woman. 1763. 
 
 This infamous poem was by the celebrated John Wilkes ;t his bio- 
 grapher says twelve copies only were printed. " The Essay on Woman," 
 says Kidgell, J " is a parody on Mr. Pope's Essay on Man, almost line 
 for line, printed in red. The fi-ontispiece, engraved curiously on copper, 
 contains the title of the poem; the title is succeeded by a few pages 
 entitled Advertisement and Design." The notes are said by Almon to 
 have been principally contributed by Mr. Potter. On the title-page is 
 an obscene print, under which is an inscription in Greek, signifying the 
 Saviour of the World. There is a long account of this work in the 
 Gentleman's Magazine.§

 small number of copies (about twelve) to give away to certain friends. "||

 " Dear Sir, 
 
 "As some friends have been desirous to borrow 
 Mr. Capell's Catalogue, to save trouble I have printed a few copies, and 
 intreat your acceptance of one of them. Let me beg you will keep it

 The Latin of the first volume of this work was the composition of the 
 late Jacob Bryant; and that of the second volume, of the late Rev. Dr. 
 Cole, Prebendary of Westminster. The translation into French of the 
 first volume was by Dr. Maty, and that of the second by Dr. Dutens. 
 One hundred copies only are said to have been struck off, for presents. 
 The gems were originally engraved with the inscription, " Ex Dactylio- 
 theca Ducis Marlburiensis," on each, but this was subsequently erased, 
 and the number of the plate inserted instead, above the subject; but no 
 complete copies with the inscription are known. The plates are some- 
 times found without the inscription or number; these are, of course, 
 engraver's proofs. Mr. Wodehouse and Sir Mark Sykes had collected 
 the largest number of impressions in both these states, which were 
 dispersed at the sale of their prints, at very high prices. Other collectors 
 have made the same attempt, with more or less success, as to number; 
 yet, to the collector, impressions in both these states are very desirable, 
 as the appearance of the ordinary copies is very inferior, owing to the 
 
60 M.DCC.LXXXI. 
 
 person employed being unaccustomed to copper-plate printing. Mr. 
 Cracherode's copy, in the British Museum, contains a letter from the 
 Duke of Marlborough, in which he says, " he has picked out some of the 
 best impressions for him." Vol. I. contains duplicates of the following 
 plates, with the inscription, viz. Plates II, X, XVII, XXII, XXIV, 
 XXVIII, XXIX, XXXVI, XL, XLIII, XLIV, XLVII, L, all 
 printed in. red ink: but this is not the case with all the copies with the 
 inscription; as they are printed s,ometimes in this colour, and sometimes 
 in black. 
 
 The original gems, in pursuance of the late Duke of Marlborough's 
 will, are deposited in the Bank of England, and it is believed that the 
 copper-plates for this work are also in the same custody.

 of letters and state papers during his administration? I own I am 
 curious to know at least what this piece contains. I had not heard a 
 word of it; and, were it not for the name, I should have very little

 Mr. Croker, in a note on this passage, says, " Lord Carlisle was not 
 indeed a great poet, but he was superior to many whom Mr. Boswell was 
 ready enough to admit into the ' sacred choir.' " His verses have good 
 sense, sweetness, and elegance. It should be added, in justice to both 
 Lord Carlisle and Lord Byron, that the latter very much regretted the 
 flippant and unjust sarcasms he had uttered against his noble friend and 
 relation.*

 " The existence of this festival and fair, and the attendant ceremonies, 
 became partially known to my countrymen in 1786, when a learned 
 dissertation on the worship of Priapus, was printed by R. Payne Knight, 
 Esq. and delivered to each member of the Diletanti Society, in the 
 number of whom I was afterwards included. A letter, written by Sir 
 William Hamilton, from Naples, in 1781, describing the fair of Isernia 
 and its ceremonies, seems to have given rise to this ingenious disquisition. 
 It has been treated with unmerited asperity by the author of the Pursuits 
 of Literature ; who in his zeal for delicacy, forgot that equal objections, 
 if not greater, might be made to books of anatomy, which are generally

 Life of Antony Ashley Cooper, First Eakl of 
 Shaftesbury. 4tto. 
 
 This rare volume has no tide. The following account is taken from a 
 catalogue by Mr. Evans, who sold a copy in June 1830. 
 
 " This is one of the rarest biographical volumes in the English 
 language. When the first Lord Shaftesbury fled into Holland, he gave 
 Locke a Memoir of his Life, which that celebrated man destroyed, being 
 alarmed at the fate of Algernon Sydney. About the year 1732, the then 
 Earl of Shaftesbury placed the family papers and a manuscript memoir 
 of his ancestor, written by Stringer (who had been clerk of the presenta- 
 tions to Lord Shaftesbury) in the hands of Benjamin Martyn, who drew 
 up this memoir ; but the Earl did not esteem it sufficiently finished for 
 publication. Dr. Gregory Sharpe, Master of the Temple, commenced its 
 revision, but relinquished it. The late Earl finally committed it to the 
 care of Dr. Kippis, and gave him 500 pounds for his trouble. After the 
 book and introduction by Kippis had been printed, a difference arose 
 between the Earl of Shaftesbury and the Doctor, and Lord Shaftesbury 
 caused the impression to be destroyed. The late Duke of Grafton 
 obtained a copy which Dr. Kippis had preserved, and it is beUeved no 
 other copy was ever sold." 
 
 This copy was purchased by Mr. Singer, for the then firm of Colburn 
 and Bentley, who intended to have published a new edition of the Life, 
 but that intention has not yet been carried into effect. Dr. Kippis died 
 in 1795 ; and it was at the sale of his hbrary, that the Duke of Grafton 
 obtained the copy mentioned by Mr. Evans; this volume was most 
 probably printed some time between the years 1789 and 1795.

 This volume is edited by the late William Gifford, Esq., and is' 
 inscribed to the noble originator, Earl Grosvenor, the father of the 
 present Marquis of Westminster : the fdllowing is a copy of the address 
 to the reader, dated Eaton Hall, 1789. — 
 
 " In the summer of 1788, Lord Grosvenor invited a numerous party 
 of his relations, friends and acquaintance, to Eaton Hall, to celebrate 
 the birthday of Lord Belgrave, who came of age in the spring of that 
 year. As they met before the arrival of the period peculiarly set apart 
 for the festival, his Lordship proposed in a sportive moment, that a little 
 journal should be kept of their proceedings, and produced every morning 
 at breakfast. As this could not occupy a large space, he further pro- 
 posed to admit any little piece of prose or verse, whose subject might not 
 be entii'ely foreign from the company : and it was hoped by these means 
 that a sheet might be served up every morning with the tea. The paper 
 took its name from a Salt-box, which was appointed to receive the 
 contributions. This was examined every evening; and the contents 
 arranged and transcribed by the writer of this introduction, who had the 
 honour of being appointed Editor."

 The Life and Adventures of Joseph Emin, an 
 Armenian. Written in English by himself. 
 
 London: Printed in the year 1792. 8vo. pp. 640. 
 
 Joseph Emin was an Armenian Christian, but born in Persia in the 
 year 1726. In 1731 he arrived in London from Calcutta; and after 
 undergoing various hardships, he obtained the patronage of the Duke of 
 Northumberland, by whose interest he acquired a mihtary education 
 at Woolwich. 
 
 " His character bears a strong resemblance to the ancient Christian 
 knights of romance. Virtuous, pious, and enthusiastic; to raise the 
 cross, and depress the crescent, seems to have been his chief aim : brave 
 and hardy; he formed a good and noble purpose, and pursued it with 
 unremitted ardour. A lascar sailor, a London porter, a volunteer on the 
 continent of Europe, or a welcome guest at the greatest tables in Europe, 
 he never lost sight of his first design."* 
 
 " His life is probably very little known. The style of it is harsh and 
 dry, half Oriental and half English, very obscure and unsatisfactory, but 
 bearing evident marks of truth and genuineness. The author affects to 
 throw a veil of mystery over his ancestry; but it is easy to discover that 
 he thinks himself, or wishes to be thought, a descendant from the former 
 sovereigns of Armenia, "f

 With the copy sent to Dr. Parr, was the following account of this

 "The late Dr. Beddoes must be known. to Dr. Parr by character, if 
 he was not personally: in any case, the literary fragment which accom- 
 panies this, cannot prove uninteresting. It owes its origin to a conver- 
 sation which took place at the table of the late Mr. William Reynolds,

 in which some men of taste and genius contended that the poetic 
 effusions of Darwin were inimitable. Dr. Beddoes maintained a con- 
 trary opinion ; and to try the point, produced to the same party a short 
 time afterwards, a manuscript of the present piece, as from his friend 
 Darwin, and sent to him for his inspection, previous to publication: the 
 advocates for Darwin's style were deceived, and the Doctor triumphed. 
 Mr. Reynolds had it printed at his own expense, but for obvious reasons 
 it was not published, and therefore may never have met Dr. Parr's eye. 
 It was printed in Madeley; the types were set by a woman, and the 
 engravings made on wood by the then and present clerk of this parish.

 will be found in Savage's Librarian. • In the year 1823 a new edition 
 was announced by Mr. Prowett the bookseller, to appear in parts; which 
 intention having been communicated to Lord Yarborough, his lordship 
 threatened to move for an injunction, on the ground that the copper- 
 plates had been improperly obtained: but on Mr. Prowett undertaking 
 that no more than two hundred and fifty copies should be printed, the 
 publication was allowed to proceed. After the two hundred and fifty 
 copies had been printed, of which twenty-five were on India paper, the 
 copper-plates were destroyed, in the presence of Lord Yarborough's 
 solicitor. 
 
 That the copper-plates had been abstracted from the late Sir Richard 
 Worsley in an improper manner, there can be little doubt. They were 
 purchased by an eminent prlntseller at a pawnbroker's sale, and by him 
 resold to Mr. Prowett, for 400Z. The foUovidng copper-plates were 
 missing, which the publisher was under the necessity of re-engraving for 
 his new edition, viz. : — 
 
 Portrait of Sir Richard Worsley Vol. I. 
 
 Death of General Wolfe Vol. I. 
 
 Two plates of antique Greek gems, nine subjects on each. Vol. I. 
 The large folding plate of the basso-relievo of the Parthenon, Vol. II. 
 
 Soon after these had been executed, a person called upon the publisher, 
 offering him the original plates for 1501.; the offer was declined. These 
 plates, it is presumed, are now in existence. 
 
 Sir Richard Worsley is said to have distributed no more than twenty- 
 seven copies of the original edition; and to have given 200/. to the exe- 
 cutors of a gentleman to whom he had presented one. It is scarcely 
 possible, although the text for two hundred and fifty copies was printed, 
 that that number of the original edition was ever completed: in all 
 probability the text is either in existence, or has been condemned as 
 waste paper. Mr. Townely's copy of the original edition was sold for 
 96/. 12«. Copies of the original edition are in the British Museum, 
 and in the library of the Society of Antiquaries. The drawings were 
 sold a short time since by auction, for fifty guineas; and were purchased 
 for Lord Yarborough.

 These papers were collected by the desire of the Duke of Portland, 
 then Secretary of Statej by Mr. Bruce, keeper of the State Papers. 
 In the copy in the British Museum is the following letter: — 
 
 " The Duke of Portland presents his compliments to Mr. Planta, and 
 requests he wiU offer for the acceptance of the Trustees of the British 
 Museum, a Report on the Union between England and Scotland, and 
 the Appendix, containing the original papers upon which the Report is 
 founded. 
 
 "When the question of Union between Great Britain and Ireland 
 came under the consideration of his Majesty's ministers, the Duke of 
 Portland employed Mr. Bruce, the keeper of the State Papers, to collect 
 in his oflSce the precedents in the history of the Union between England 
 and Scotland, which might illustrate the subject, for the purpose of 
 bringing, in aid of the -intended arrangement with Ireland, the wisdom 
 and experience of former times; by which investigation it will appear, 
 that many of the arguments which were brought against the Union with 
 Scotland, and which time has completely reAited, are the same with those 
 on which the opponents of an Union with Ireland at present rely.

 teenth, and the commencement of the eighteenth century; among other 
 books, it comprehended a very curious assemblage of tracts and pamph- 
 lets, chiefly historical and controversial, during a period of more than 
 thirty years. On the death of the Archbishop, in 1 714, the principal 
 part of his library descended to his son. Dr. Thomas Sharp, Prebendary 
 of Durham; and at his decease, in 1758, to his grandson, the late Dr. 
 John Sharp; during which succession it was, from time to time, enriched 
 by valuable additions : and at the death of the last possessor, the library 
 came into the possession of the Trustees of this splendid establishment, 
 where 
 
 " Charity hath fixed her chosen seat, 
 
 And Pity, at the dark and stormy hour 
 Of midnight, when the moon is hid on high. 
 
 Keeps her lone watch upon the topmost tower, 
 And turns her ear to each up-rising cry. 
 
 Blest if her aid some fainting wretch might save. 
 And snatch him, cold and sleepless, from the grave."

 Lord Chedworth, who died in 1804, from some disgust which he took 
 to society, retired to Yarmouth, and resided in the family of Mr. Penrice, 
 a surgeon in that town; and on his death hequeathed him nearly the 
 whole of his property. An attempt was made, on the plea of insanity, 
 to set the will aside: this did not succeed; and the editor of this volume, 
 Mr. Penrice, printed it with the view of affording an additional proof of 
 Lord Chedworth's sanity. An account of the noble author, and the pro-

 of the vase in the possession of the late Mr. Edwards, will occasionally

 This was privately printed by the author, at his own printing press in 
 the Abbey; he was a Roman Catholic clergyman, and chaplain to Lady 
 Shrewsbury, who then occupied the Abbey ; which is the property, and 
 now the residence of Henry Fox Talbot, Esq. member of parliament for 
 Chippenham. 
 
 "I saw some time ago, at Mr. Talbot's at Laycook, the original 
 Magna Charta of Henry the Illd., which I am told is the only perfect 
 one in England ; that in the Cotton Library having been very much 
 damaged by fire."* 
 
 A view of the Abbey, which is a very curious building, will be found 
 in Buck's Views : a more modern view will be found in Neale's collection 
 of Gentlemen's Seats.

 Cambridge: Printed at the University Press, by R. 
 Watts. 1807. 8vo. pp. 36. 
 
 A vindication of a right, which it would be to the credit of the national 
 character speedily to abolish. The tax in support of these institutions 
 should at least be general, and not imposed on a class, whose remunera- 
 tion for their labours is, for the most part, very precarious. On works 
 of an expensive nature in their production, such as books on natural 
 history, antiquities, &c., and of which the number printed is very limited, 
 the tax is most oppressive. It is the intention of the publishers to 
 petition the legislature for relief from this unjust imposition; but in 
 these excited times, the claims of literature, science, or art, stand little 
 chance of being listened to with any favourable result.

 under circumstances which were by no means honourable to its possessor, 
 who has since made himself too well known by a posthumous publication 
 full of falsehood and malignity, but whom the grave shall shelter from 
 further reproach, was sold at an auction, and purchased by Mr. George 
 Chalmers, who lost no time in putting together the arguments by which 
 he thought Mr. Malone's theory might be controverted."

 with editions of his favourite authors. He would not marry, lest marriage 
 should interrupt the labours of his Platonic politics. But his extraor- 
 dinary Memoirs, while they shew an intrepid mind in a robust frame, 
 bear witness to the self-tormentor, who had trodden down the natural 
 bonds of domestic life."f

 Engravings and Etchings of the Principal Statues, 
 Busts, Bas-reliefs, Sepulchral Monuments, Cinerary 
 Urns, &c., in the Collection of Henry Blundell, Esq. at 
 Ince. 1809. 2 vols, folio. 
 
 •' Mr. Blundell had nearly attained to his grand climacteric, when 
 having accompanied Mr. Towneley to Rome, he was present when, 
 through the agency of Jenkins, the marbles of the villas Mattel and 
 D'Este were offered to sale : an opportunity so alluring, of becoming 
 possessed of well-known antique statues, and of a collection, without a 
 gradual and tedious acquirement, was a temptation not to be resisted by 
 Mr. Blundell. He purchased, and transferred them to his mansion at 
 Ince-Blundell, near Liverpool : and the multitudinous resort of spectators 
 from that town, soon grew into a serious evil. The present repository, 
 a rotunda of great architectural merit and beauty, was erected in the 
 gardens, in order to obviate this inconvenience, and to display the marbles 
 to greater advantage."* 
 
 " The most interesting place I have seen in itself, is Mr. Blundell's of 
 Ince, rich in a profusion of antique sculptures and marbles ; we had 
 much entertaining talk about Italy, as he has often been there." 
 
 Ince-Blundell, where this collection of antiquities is deposited, is 
 situated on the left bank of the river Alt, a few miles distant from 
 Liverpool ; the mansion has been long in the occupation of the present 
 family : it is a spacious and elegant edifice. 
 
 The following is the list of the plates, contained in the copy in the 
 British Museum :

 political nature, and was intended to have been distributed by its author 
 on the 12th of February, 1811, upon one of the city bridges; but 
 meeting with a Derbyshire friend, he was by him dissuaded from his 
 purpose : and by this friend's further intervention, the whole impression 
 of the book, except a very few copies, was withdrawn effectually, if not 
 destroyed. 
 
 " The following paragraph appeared in the London papers of 1812: — 
 ' The Rev. Eben. Aldred, a Dissenting minister from the High Peak in 
 Derbyshire, appeared in a boat upon the Thames, on Thursday the 28th 
 instant (February), dressed in a white linen robe, with his long hair 
 flowing over his shoulders, and announced that the seven vials mentioned 
 in the book of Revelations were about to be poured out upon the city of 
 London.' 
 
 " He printed also (privately, I have no doubt), ' Morning and Evening 
 Prayers for the use of Individuals, composed by different Unitarian 
 ministers, and printed at the expense of the Society of Unitarian Chris- 
 tians. Now reprinted, with a few Alterations, by Eben-ezer Al-dred.

128 M.DCCC.XI. 
 
 greater part of the Old Testament an allegory, particularly Genesis and 
 Joshua. He professes himself a theist, in the preface, and handles the 
 literal interpretation very roughly. I wish you could see it. Mr. W.

 is in the British Museum; it is a very indifferent specimen of modem

 which the Marquis of Blandford gave 22602. at the Roxbvu-ghe sale ; it was 
 here purchased by Messrs. Longman and Co. for 9181. 15s., and trans- 
 ferred at the same price to Earl Spencer, in whose magnificent collection 
 it now remains.

 "This man served on board H. M. S. Niger, in 1791, then under the 
 command of the present Admiral Sir Richard Keats. The .lournal 
 contains a horrible narration of the enormities committed by the crew of 
 the Pirate, in which Davidson acknowledges that he and the other Eng- 
 lishmen on board took the most active lead. He was afterwards acci- 
 dentally drowned while serving in H. M. S. Royal George. 
 
 " At the request of my friend Sir Walter Scott, who had heard of the

 Keats was so good as to verify to me, with some further particulars of 
 
 this man's story. But on perusal. Sir Walter Scott pronounced it too 
 
 horrible for versification, and inserted the substance of it in the Edinburgh 
 
 Annual Register in 1812.

 This laborious and useful work was undertaken at the expense of the 
 present Duke of Buckingham and Chandos; and it is to be regretted 
 that this spirited example has met with so few followers. About two 
 hundred sets were made complete of the four volumes. On its first 
 appearance, it was the intention of the Duke of Buckingham to permit it 
 to be generally sold; but circumstances induced his Grace to change 
 his determination; and the work was withdrawn from public sale, when, 
 it is believed, not more than ten copies of the first volume had found 
 their way into the hands of individuals. 
 
 Twenty-six copies were printed on large paper; Mr. Grenville possesses 
 one. Dr. O'Connor had been domestic chaplain to the Marchioness of 
 Buckingham, mother of the present Duke; and after her decease in 
 1813, remained at Stowe, as librarian. He died 29th July, 1828, set. 
 about 67.

 A jeu d'esprit, by the late Sir Joshua Reynolds; of which Mr. Croker,

 account : — 
 
 " Sir Joshua Reynolds wrote two Dialogues, in illustration of this 
 position; in the first of which, Johnson attacks Garrick, in opposition to 
 Sir Joshua, and in the other, defends him against Gibbon. They were 
 originally published in a periodical work, but are preserved in Miss 
 Hawkins' Memoirs, vol. ii. p. 110. Lord Famborough has obligingly 
 communicated to the editor the evidence of the late Sir George Beau- 
 mont (who had received copies of them from Sir Joshua himself) both 
 of their authenticity, and of their correct imitation of Johnson's style of 
 conversation; and the editor has therefore given them a place in the 
 Appendix." 
 
 Two hundred copies were printed, and distributed by Lady Thomond, 
 the niece of Sir Joshua Reynolds.

 Esq., of Lincoln's Inn; and commences with a general pedigree of the 
 family, from the time of Alfred, succeeded by a more particular table 
 of the Ballylinch or Gracefield branch, the direct line of the present 
 Baronet. Amongst the pedigrees, are two particularly deserving of 
 notice; viz. that of O 'Mora or More, beginning with, ' God the Father, 
 Son, and Holy Ghost, who was from all eternity, did in the beginning of 
 time, of nothing create red earth, and of red earth framed Adam, and of 
 a rib out of the side of Adam fashioned Eve, after which creation, plas- 
 mation, and formation, succeedeth generation. 1. Adam, surnamed the 
 Protoplast, Uved 930 years, and on his wife Eve, begat sons and 
 daughters ;' &c. The genealogy is traced regularly through the patriarchs 
 to Noah, and from Noah to Nilus, and through the kings of Scythia to 
 Milesius, who conquered Spain, and afterwards Ireland, from whom it is 
 continued to Cu Chogry O'Mora, King of Leix, whose daughter Cacht 
 married Dermot Nagal Mac Morrough, King of Leinster, who first 
 invited the English to the invasion of Ireland, under Strongbow, Earl of 
 Pembroke, temp. Henry II., and from thence to Anthony O'More, 
 Dynast or Sovereign of Leix, whose daughter Ellen (sister of Dorothea, 
 first wife of Thomas, seventh Earl of Kildare) married, circa 1450, Sir 
 Oliver Grace, Lord of Grace's country, and Baron of Courtstovm. The 
 other pedigree is that of Vere ; which commences with Adam, and is

 If any family can shew a higher pedigree than this, vie will allow them 
 to print and promulgate the same, for the amazement of planet-struck 
 mushrooms, who have prided themselves on springing up from the hot- 
 bed of the Conquest, instead of being floated and watered by the 
 Deluge."

 Nation by his late Majesty George IV. The letter of the Royal donor, 
 together with a few extracts from the Report of the Committee appointed 
 by the House of Commons, are here introduced, as necessary to the 
 history of the Library. 
 
 " Dear Lord Literfooi,, 
 
 " The King, my late revered and excellent father, having 
 formed, during a long series of years, a most valuable and extensive 
 Library, consisting of about one hundred and twenty thousand volumes, 
 I have resolved to present this collection to the British Nation. 
 
 "Whilst I have the satisfaction, by this means, of advancing the 
 literature of my country, I also feel that I am paying a just tribute to 
 the memory of a parent, whose life was adorned with every public and 
 private virtue. 
 
 " I desire to add, that I have great pleasure, my Lord, in making this 
 communication through you. 
 
 " Believe me, with great regard, 
 
 " Your sincere friend, 
 "Pavilion, Brighton, January 15, 1823. " G. R." 
 
 The Committee appointed to report upon the Library, proceed to 
 state, that "the general plan of its formation appears to have been 
 determined upon by his late Majesty King George the Third, soon after 
 his accession to the throne; and the first extensive purchase which he 
 made, was that of the library of Mr. Joseph Smith, the British consul at 
 Venice, in 1762. 
 
 " In 1768, Mr. Barnard, the librarian, was sent to the Continent by 
 his Majesty; and in France, Italy, and Germany, he bought numerous 
 books, of great rarity and value. Previous to his departure, he received 
 a letter from Dr. Johnson,* who frequenfly visited the Library, pointing 
 
 * The admirable letter of this eminent man forming part of the history of 
 the Royal collection, is not, it is trusted, inappropriately introduced.

 dition undertaken, like yours, for the importation of literature ; and therefore.

 out the best means of completing it. The rules laid down in that letter 
 have been followed with unremitting attention. The Library has been 
 considered as very complete, for its extent, in all branches of science 
 and literature ; it is very rich in classics, in English history, in Italian, 
 French, and Spanish Uterature, and in the scarce, early printed books of 
 the fifteenth century. The sum expended in the purchase of Mr. Smith's 
 
 not having travelled myself, I am very little qualified to give advice to a tra- 
 veller ; yet, that I may not seem inattentive to a design so worthy of regard, I 
 will try whether the present state of my health will suffer me to lay before you 
 what observation or report have suggested to me, that may direct your inquiries, 
 or facilitate your success. Things, of which the mere rarity makes the value, 
 and which are prized at a high rate, by a wantonness rather than by use, are 
 always passing from poorer to richer countries ; and therefore, though Germany 
 and Italy were principally productive of typographical curiosities, I do not 
 much imagine that they are now to be found there in great abundance. An 
 eagerness for scarce books, and early editions, which prevailed among the 
 English about half a century ago, filled our shops with all the splendour and 
 nicety of literature; and when the Harleian Catalogue was published, many of 
 the books were bought for the library of the King of France. 
 
 " I believe, however, that by the diligence with which you have enlarged 
 the library under your care, the present stock is so nearly exhausted, that, till 
 new purchases supply the booksellers with new stores, you will not be able to 
 do much more than glean up single books, as accident shall produce them : 
 this, therefore, is the time for visiting the Continent. 
 
 " What addition you can hope to make by ransacking other countries, we 
 will now consider. English literature you will not seek in any place but in 
 England. Classical learning is diffused every where, and is not, except by 
 accident, more copious in one part of the polite world than in another; but 
 every country has literature of its own, which may be but gathered in its native 
 soil. The studies of the learned are influenced by forms of government, and 
 modes of religion ; and therefore, those books are necessary and common in 
 some' places, which, where different opinions or different manners prevail, are 
 of little use, and for that reason, rarely to be found. 
 
 "Thus, in Italy you may expect to meet with canonists and scholastic 
 divines; in Germany with writers on the feudal law; and in Holland with 
 civilians. The schoolmen and canonists must not be neglected, for they are 
 useful to many purposes, nor too anxiously sought, for their influence among 
 us is much lessened by the Reformation. Of the canonists, at least, a few 
 eminent writers may be suflicient, The schoolmen are of more general value. 
 But the feudal and civil law I cannot but wish to see complete. The feudal 
 
M.DCCC.XX. 177 
 
 library was about 10,000?., and tbe sum applied for the purchase of 
 books, for a period of sixty years, has been about 2,000?. annually. It 
 is also to be observed, that additions have been made to the collection 
 by persons anxious to shew their respect to his late Majesty, and to 
 promote his views. Among these, the late Mr. Jacob Bryant deserves 
 particularly to be mentioned, as having enriched the Library with some 
 
 constitution is the origin of the law of property, over all the civilized part of 
 Europe ; and the civil law, as it is generally understood to include the law of 
 nations, may be called, with great propriety, a regal study. Of these books, 
 which have been often published, and diversified by various modes of impres- 
 sion, our Royal Library should have at least the most curious edition, the most 
 splendid, and the most useful. The most curious edition is commonly the first, 
 and the most useful may be expected among the last. Thus, of TuUy's Offices, 
 the edition of Fust is the most curious, and that of Grsvlus the most useful. 
 The most splendid, the eye will discern. With the old printers you are now 
 become well acquainted : if you can find any collection of their productions to 
 be sold, you will undoubtedly buy it ; but this can scarcely be hoped, and you 
 must catch up siifgle volumes where you can find them. In every place things 
 often occur where they are least expected. I was shewn a Welsh Grammar, 
 written in Welsh, and printed at Milan, I believe, before any Grammar of that 
 language had been printed here. Of purchasing entire libraries, I know not 
 whether the inconvenience may not overbalance the advantage. Of libraries 
 collected with general views, one will have many books in common with 
 another. When you have bought two collections, you will find that you have 
 bought many books twice over, and many in each which you have left at home, 
 and therefore did not want ; and when you have selected a small number, you 
 will have the rest to sell at a. great loss, or to transport hither, at perhaps a 
 greater. It will generally be more commodious to buy the few that you want, 
 at a price somewhat advanced, than to incumber yourself with useless books. 
 But hbraries collected for particular studies, will be very valuable acquisitions. 
 The collection of an eminent civilian, feudist, or mathematician, will perhaps 
 have very few superfluities. Topography, or local history, prevails much, in 
 many parts of the Continent. I have been told, that scarcely a village of Italy 
 wants its historian. These books may be generally neglected, but some will 
 deserve attention, by the celebrity of the place, the eminence of the authors, 
 or the beauty of the sculptures. Sculpture has always been more cultivated 
 among other nations than among us. The old art of cutting on wood, which 
 decorated the books of ancient impression, was never carried here to any ex- 
 cellence ; and the practice of engraving on copper which succeeded, has never 
 been much employed among us in adorning books. The old books with wooden

 of the rarest specimens of the art of printing, at its commencement in 
 this country. 
 
 " The examination of the contents of the Royal Library, furnishes the 
 strongest reason for placing it in the same building as the Museum 
 Library; the former being very rich in many of those classes in which 
 the latter is very deficient; particularly in works illustrative of the 
 
 cuts are to be diligently sought ; the designs were very often made by great 
 masters, and the prints are such as cannot be made by any artist now living. 
 It will be of great use to collect in every place maps of the adjacent country, 
 and plans of tovifns, buildings, and gardens. By this care you will form a more 
 valuable body of geography than can otherwise be had. Many countries have 
 been very exactly surveyed; but it must not be expected that the exactness of 
 actual mensuration will be preserved, when the maps are reduced by a con- 
 tracted scale, and incorporated into a general system. 
 
 "The King of Sardinia's Italian dominions are not large; yet the maps 
 made of them in the reign of Victor, fill two atlantic folios. This part of your 
 design will deserve particular regard, because, in this, your success will always 
 be proportionate to your diligence. 
 
 " You are too well acquainted with literary history, not to know that many 
 books derive their value from the reputation of the printers. Of the celebrated 
 printers you do not need to be informed ; and if you did, might consult Baillet, 
 ' Jugemens des Scavans.' The productions of Aldus are enumerated in the 
 Bibliotheca Greeca, so that you may know when you have them all, which is 
 always of use, as it prevents needless search. The great ornaments of a library 
 furnished for magnificence as well as use, are the first editions, of which, there- 
 fore, I would not willingly neglect the mention. You know. Sir, that the 
 annals of typography begin with the Codex, 1457 ; but there is just reason to 
 believe, that there are latent in obscure corners, books printed before it. The 
 secular feast in memory of the invention of printing, is celebrated in the fortieth 
 year of the century; if this tradition, therefore, is right, the art had in 1457 
 been already exercised nineteen years. 
 
 "There prevails among typographical antiquaries a vague opinion, that the 
 Bible had been printed three times before the edition of 1462, which Calmet 
 calls " la premiere edition bien averse." One of these editions has been lately 
 discovered in a convent, and transplanted into the French King's Library. 
 Another copy has likewise been found, but I know not whether the same 
 impression, or another. These discoveries are sufficient to raise hope, and 
 instigate inquiry. In the purchase of old books, let me recommend you to 
 inquire with great caution, whether they are perfect. In the first edition, the 
 loss of a leaf is not easily observed. You remember how near we both were to 
 purchasing a mutilated missal at a high price.

 In the Report from which the foregoing extract has been made, the 
 Committee gave an account of the sums granted by Parliament for the 
 purchase of works of art, science, and literature, since the foundation of 
 the British Museum, in 1755: the following is the list: — 
 
 1753 For the Sloanian Collection - - 20,000i. 
 
 1758 „ the Harleian Collection - - - 10,000 
 
 1772 „ the Hamilton Collection of Vases 8,410 
 
 1805 „ the Townley Collection of Statues - 20,000 
 
 1807 „ the Lansdown Manuscripts - 4,925 
 
 1810 „ the Greville Minerals - 13,727 
 
 1813 „ the Hargrave Library - . - 8,000

 1816 „ the Elgin Marbles - - - 35,000 
 1818 „ the Burney Library - 13,500 
 
 The Library thus presented to the Nation, is now deposited in the 
 particular portion of the British Museum expressly built for its reception. 
 
 " All this, perhaps, you know already, and therefore my letter may be of no 
 use. I am, however, desirous to shew you, that I wish prosperity to your 
 undertaking. One advice more 1 will give, of more importance than all the 
 rest ; of which I, therefore, hope you will have still less need. You are going 
 into a part of the world, divided, as it is said, between bigotry and atheism : 
 such representations are always hyperbolical ; but there is certainly enough of 
 both to alarm any mind solicitous for piety and truth : let not the contempt of 
 superstition precipitate into infidelity, or the horror of infidelity ensnare you into 
 superstition. 1 sincerely wish you successful and happy, for,

 An endeavour* has been made to convey an idea of the noble repository 
 in which it is placed, a building which reflects so much credit on its 
 accomplished architect, Sir Robert Smirke, R.A. At each end of the 
 room is an inscription, recording the gift, in English and Latin: the 
 following is a copy of the latter : —

 The collection of books here deposited, is considered to consist of 
 about 80,000 volumes; exclusive of the valuable collection of maps, 
 plans, and topographical views, the catalogue of which is contained in the 
 volume before mentioned. About thirty-five works, consisting, for the 
 most part, of books printed before the fifteenth centmy, and which had 
 been presented to his Majesty George III. by the celebrated Jacob 
 Bryant, were retained; and a MS. volume of ' Memoranda, by Dr. John- 
 son, presented to the King by Benet Langton, Esq. 
 
 Two hundred copies of the Catalogue were printed, the expense of 
 which was defrayed by a parliamentary vote. A very liberal distribution 
 was made of them; viz. to the members of the Royal family, the 
 cabinet ministers, the Universities, and other literary establishments of 
 the United Kingdom ; to most of the foreign Potentates, Academies, and 
 literary Societies of the Continent. 
 
 In addition to the library, maps, and topographical drawings, a very 
 valuable cabinet of ancient and modern coins and medals, was also pre- 
 sented to the British Museum. It contains nearly 16,000 pieces, and is 
 particularly rich in German coins, and in early Italian, EngUsh, and 
 Dutch medals.

 prints, shells, and fossils, in addition to what were collected by her great 
 grandfather and great uncle."*

 from Dante to Metastasis A limited number of copies has been printed, 
 for the perusal of his friends and admirers, at the desire of his nearest 
 relative, to shew that the leisure moments of a life devoted to the cause 
 of his country, were devoted with equal ardour to that of literature ; and 
 to teach those who come after, to what a height of elevation rank and 
 talents can raise their possessor, by being unremittingly applied to the 
 purposes for which they are vouchsafed by our Creator." 
 
 " Lord Charlemont appears to have had a particular partiality for the 
 people, as well as for the climate and literature of Italy ; and his volumi- 
 nous MS. history of the poetry of that country, commencing with Dante, 
 and ending with Metastasio, furnishes most pleasing, accurate, and 
 critical accounts of their best poets. From this MS. the Rev. Edward 
 Groves has edited a privately printed and highly interesting volume."*

 interesting from their locality than any poetical merit, have been pre- 
 served in manuscript, among the private papers of that distinguished 
 antiquary. Sir William Dugdale; and from his interleaved almanacks, 
 the Queen's route from Newark to Kineton, is now, for the first time,

 The number printed was very limited, for private circulation alone ; 
 twenty-five copies were on large paper. William Hamper, Esq. was a very 
 eminent antiquary : he was author of many valuable communications to 
 the Archseologia. His principal work was the " Life and Diary of Sir 
 William Dugdale;" 1827. 4to. The latter period of his life was em- 
 ployed in preparing an appendix to that . work, consisting of several 
 additional letters of that celebrated antiquary. Mr. Hamper died at

 The author says, in the conclusion, " In this compilation, no solicitude 
 of an author need be entertained, as it is written solely for private 
 amusement; no hopes of emolument can be indulged, as the work is not 
 printed for sale; and no thoughts of resentment can be intended — for of 
 the long-forgotten dead, who would speak with unkindness? I knew the 
 name to be honourable — 1 wished it might have an historian." It is 
 edited by Nicholas Carlisle, F.R.S., M.R.I.A., Assistant Librarian to his 
 Majesty, and Fellow and Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of 
 London. One hundred copies were printed, for distribution among the 
 author's friends; one of whom* says, "It is worthy the author's taste 
 and various erudition."

 M.DCCC.XXII. folio. 
 
 This splendid representation of the valuable collection of marbles in 
 the possession of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, was printed at the 
 expense of his Grace, and has been very liberally distributed among the 
 friends and patrons of art. 
 
 The gallery in which this fine collection is deposited, "was built in the 
 year 1789, from designs by Henry Holland, Esq. It was originally 
 intended for a green-house, and was converted to its present use, and its 
 floor inlaid with Devonshire marble, in the year 1820. Its dimensions 
 are, 138 feet in length; 25 feet in breadth; and 22 feet, 7 inches, in 
 height. In the centre of the building are eight magnificent columns, 
 supporting a dome; each column consists of one entire shaft: they are 
 all ancient, and were discovered in excavations made at Rome, by the 
 late Mr. Brand, of the Hoo. Two of them of Breccia Africana, and two 
 of Rigio. Their white marble capitals are also antique, and were dis- 
 
202 M.DCCC.XXII. 
 
 covered in the same excavations: they are, of a very rich composite 
 order, containing ornaments added to the comhined decorations of the 
 Ionic and Corinthian styles. At the eastern end of the Sculpture 
 Gallery, is the Temple of Liberty. At the western end, is the Temple 
 of the Graces. The visitor is conducted into the Gallery, through a 
 small ante-room, on the walls of which are engravings of some of 
 Canova's most beautiful statues and groups of sculpture. Opposite to 
 the entrance is a marble bust, by Garrard, of Mr. Holland, who built 
 the Sculpture Gallery; and another bust, by Chantrey, of NoUekens, 
 whose works adorn the interior of the Temple of Liberty."

 following busts of some of the most intimate friends of that statesman, by 
 NoUekens, viz. Earl Grey, Earl of Lauderdale, Lord Robert Spencer, Lord 
 Holland, General Fitzpatrick, and Mr. Hare. 
 
 * The following elegant tribute to the memory of this eminent man, is taken 
 from a long list of his works, in this volume. — " Whilst the foregoing testimony 
 to the wonderful talents which Canova has displayed in this group of the 
 Graces, was passing, through the press, the afflicting intelligence of his death 
 reached England. It may therefore be permitted to the possessor of this Col- 
 lection to add to the page, the tribute which he feels to be due to the memory 
 of that great sculptor; as it was his good fortune, whilst visiting Italy, to enjoy 
 the happiness of his society, and the benefit of his refined taste ; and to possess 
 him, afterwards, as a guest at Woburn Abbey. During 'this intercourse, he 
 had the means of observing, that the estimable qualities and amiable disposition 
 of Antonio Canova, joined to his engaging simplicity of manners, endeared him 
 to private friends, as much as his transcendant abilities had done, to the ad- 
 mirers of whatever is sublime, or graceful, or attractive, in the highest depart- 
 ments of art. "

 [Edinburgh. 1823]. 12jwo. pp. 123. 
 
 This volume, which is dedicated to the late Sir Walter Scott, was 
 printed at the expense of Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, Esq. ; who thus 
 commences his address to the " Courteous Reader:" — " As this book, of 
 which only thirty copies are printed, shall cost thee nothing, saving a 
 little time thrown away on its perusal, which most antiquaries can very 
 well spare, I wiU make no apology to thee for compiling it." It contains 
 fragments of forty-three ballads, chiefly from tradition. 
 
 Sir Walter Scott styles it, "a curious collection, under the modest 
 title of a ' Ballad Book,' which indicates, by a few notes only, the capacity 
 which the editor possesses for supplying the most extensive and ingenious 
 illustrations upon antiquarian subjects." "

 1823. folio, pp. 91; Table of Descents, folded, marked 
 p. 93; a single leaf, B 6, unpaged, containing an account 
 of John, Earl of Bridgewater. 
 
 This volume was edited by the Rev. H. J. Todd; who says in the 
 preface, " From records belonging to the demesnes of Ashridge, with 
 which he became acquainted, through the Earl of Bridgewater 's friendly 
 means, long before the death of the late possessor, the illustrious Duke 
 of Bridgewater, and from other documents, which passed, according to 
 the Duke's bequest of his books and manuscripts, to the present Marquis 
 of Stafford, now Duke of Sutherland, have been extracted many curious 
 particulars of Ashridge while a convent, and after it became the residence 
 of Lord Chancellor Egerton and his descendants. Thus, from' the 
 retiredness of monastic manners, the reader will be led to many notices 
 of courtly splendour, and finally, from the demolition of this ancient 
 edifice, to the mansion erected on nearly the conventual site, perpetuating 
 the venerable name of Ashridge."

 The foundation of the splendid pile described in this work, was laid 
 on the 25th October, 1808, in the presence of the noble owner, John 
 William, Earl of Bridgewater ; and the building was inhabited on the 
 11th of October, 1814. The founder of the mansion died on the 21st of. 
 October, 1823; and bequeathed this estate to his great nephew, fettered 
 with singular conditions, which the annexed extract from the will itself 
 will shew.* 
 
 * Extracted from the Registry of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury : — 
 
 " In the Will of John William, Earl of Bridgewater, dated 31st March, 1823, 
 is the following clause : — 
 
 "Provided, that if John Hume, Lord Viscount Alford, shall die without 
 having acquired the title of Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, then the estate 
 directed to be limited to the heirs male of his body, shall be void ; and that if 
 the Earldom of Brownlow shall descend to him, and he shall not have acquired 
 the title of Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, before the end of five years after 
 he become Earl of Brownlow, then the several estates directed to be limited to 
 Viscount Alford, shall cease; and that my estates before devised, shall be 
 enjoyed as if Viscount Alford were actually dead, without issue male. Pro- 
 vided also, that if it shall happen that Viscount Alford shall not acquire the 
 title of Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, with the immediate limitation over of 
 such title to Charles Henry Cust ; and that if the Earldom of Brownlow shall 
 descend to the said Charles Henry Cust, and he shall not have acquired the 
 title of Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater before the end of five years next after 
 he shall become Earl of Brownlow, then the several estates directed to be 
 limited to Charles Henry Cust, shall be void. Provided also, that if my 
 brother, Francis Henry Egerton, shall be created Duke or Marquis of Bridge- 
 water, with such limitations over of the title, that the same may immediately 
 after the failure of issue male of my brother, come to John, Viscount Alford, 
 and his heirs male, and after them to Charles Henry Cust, and his heirs male, 
 then ray estates shall be enjoyed as if the several provisos had not been con- 
 tained in this my Will. Provided, that if John, Earl Brownlow, shall, in case 
 of the failure of issue male of my brother in his lifetime, be created Duke or 
 Marquis of Bridgewater, the title being limited to him and his heirs by Sophia, 
 Lady Brownlow, his late wife, only, and not being inheritable by any other 
 issue of John, Earl Brownlow, the same shall be equivalent to the acquisition 
 of such title by Viscount Alford ; and my estates shall be settled so as to be 
 enjoyed for the future as if the several provisos had not been contained in this 
 my _W ill. Provided, that if John, Earl Brownlow, shall hereafter take any 
 other title than Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, so as to be inheritable by his 
 issue male by Sophia, Lady Brownlow, his late wife ; then the estates directed

 whilst suffering under severe affliction, as well as to give encouragement 
 to a very worthy man, the printer. It is the first English work carried 
 through in Alexandria; and, as the compositor was entirely ignorant of 
 the language in which it is written, the difficulties that existed in cor-

 This work, from being printed out of the country, did not come within

 has departed from his usual rule, by inserting it here.

 Oxford : At the University Press, for the Author. Sold 
 by J. Parker, Oxford, &c. 1824. 8to. pp. 264. 
 
 This volume cannot certainly be termed privately printed; but from 
 the limited number of copies that have been permitted to be sold, it 
 almost assumes that character. 
 
 Five hundred copies were printed; of which the number required by 
 the founder's wiU were distributed to the heads of thecolleges at Oxford; 
 the remainder, with the exception of forty copies, it is said to be the 
 author's intention to withdraw from public sale. 
 
 An Appendix, consisting of Notes, was promised to accompany this 
 volume; but it has never yet appeared, and in all probability never will; 
 perhaps this has been the reason for the author's wishing the circulation 
 of the Lectures to be suspended.

 are entirely occasional. He prints this small collection for private dis-

 Virg. Mn. lib. xii. 
 
 London: Printed by William Nicol, Shakspeare Press. 
 1825. 8w. pp. 63; Introduction, Title, &c. pp, viii. 
 
 The historical notices in this Catalogue are written by his Grace the 
 Duke of Bedford, who states in the Introduction, that "The idea of 
 transferring these portraits from the perishable materials of oil paintings 
 on panel or canvass, to the more durable and brilliant representations 
 in enamel, was first suggested by a view of Mr. Bone's interesting 
 Gallery of Portraits of the most distinguished characters that flourished 
 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth ; a collection worthy of decorating the 
 walls of that splendid residence of our kings, Windsor Castle." 
 
 The following are the portraits which have been executed by Mr. Bone, 
 and which form one of the attractions in the splendid collection at 
 Woburn Abbey : — 
 
 1. Philip, Archduke of Austria, afterwards King of Castile; ob. 1506. 
 
 2. Joanna, his consort, second daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, 
 King and Queen of Castile and Arragon. 
 
 These two portraits are copied from original pictures, painted probably 
 by Mabuse, in 1506. 
 
 3. John Russell, first Earl of Bedford, and patriarch of the family. 
 
 4. Francis, second Earl of Bedford, only son of the first Earl. 
 
 "It is probable that the originals of both these portraits are from 
 Holbein." 
 
 5. Sir Francis Russell, third son of Francis, second Earl of Bedford. 
 "There are no portraits," says the Duke, " of the first Countesses of 
 
 Bedford, nor of the wife of this Lord Russell, in the collection atWobum 
 Abbey, or in any other with which I am acquainted." 
 
 6. William, Lord Russell of Thornhaugh, fourth son of Francis, 
 second Eari of Bedford; ob. 1613. 
 
224 M.DCCC.XXV. 
 
 7. Elizabeth, Lady Russell of Thornhaugh, wife of the preceding; 
 oh. 1611. 
 
 It is related of this lady, that she accompanied her husband in wolf 
 hunting, when she was in Ireland. 
 
 8. Edward, third Earl of Bedford, only son of Francis, Lord Russell. 
 
 9. Lucy, Countess of Bedford ; ob. 1628 ; from a portrait said to be 
 by Gerard Honthorst. 
 
 10. Francis, fourth Earl of Bedford; ob. 1641; "the principal pro- 
 moter of that truly stupendous work, known by the name of the Bedford 
 Level." Taken from a very fine whole length, by Vandyck. 
 
 11. Katherine, Countess of Bedford, wife of the preceding Earl; from 
 an original whole length, by Cornelius Jansen. 
 
 12. William, first Duke, and fifth Earl of Bedford; ob. 1700. 
 
 " This enamel is taken from a picture of two whole length portraits, 
 of William, Earl of Bedford, and his brother-in-law, George Digby, Earl 
 of Bristol, a copy (or perhaps a duplicate, by Vandyck himself) from the 
 fine picture in Earl Spencer's collection at Althorp." 
 
 13. Anne, Countess of Bedford, wife of the preceding; ob. 1684. 
 
 14. William, Lord Russell, "the well-known martyr to the cause of 
 his country." 
 
 15. Rachel, wife of William, Lord Russell, the author of the Letters. 
 
 16. Wriothesley, the second Duke, and sixth Earl of Bedford; ob. 
 1711 ; from an original enamel, by Boit. 
 
 17. Elizabeth, wife of the preceding Duke; ob. 1724. 
 Taken from the same enamel as the preceding. 
 
 18. Wriothesley, third Duke ; ob. 1732 ; from a picture by Isaac Whood. 
 
 19. Anne, Duchess of Bedford, wife of the preceding; ob. 1762. 
 
 20. John, fourth Duke ; from a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds. 
 
 21. Diana, first wife of John, Duke of Bedford; ob. 1735.

 Although twenty-five portraits of the house of Russell are only enu- 
 merated, the editor is informed, there are enamels of his Grace the 
 present Duke; and also of her Grace the late Duchess of Bedford; and 
 the present Duchess. 
 
 A history of this noble House has lately heen published by J. H. Wiffen, 
 in two volumes octavo. The Duke of Bedford is illustrating a copy of 
 this work, with drawings, copied by G. P. Harding, of the pictures at 
 Wohum, and in every other mansion in the kingdom where portraits 
 connected with the family are contained: it will consist of a very 
 extensive series.

 At the back of the title is the following quotation from Gibbon, on the

 the editor has introduced it here, although printed abroad. Fifti) copies

 to think is an error; copies are now he believes to be purchased, although 
 it was originally intended for private circulation only. The author 
 married the sister of Sir William John Brabazon, Bart., which circum- 
 stance induced him to undertake this history of the family. The arms

 The History of Gorhambury; by Charlotte Grimston. 
 [Circa 1826]. 4to. pp. 90. 
 
 This volume was edited by the late Hon. Charlotte Grimston, sister of 
 the Earl of Verulam. 
 
 Gorhambury derives great interest from being the patrimonial inhe- 
 ritance of the great Sir Francis Bacon. It obtained its name from 
 Gorham, eighteenth abbot of St. Albans. The present edifice was built 
 by the late Viscount Grimston, and completed in 1785, from the designs 
 of Sir Robert Taylor, and is generally esteemed a good specimen of that 
 architect's talents. A valuable collection of portraits is in the gallery at 
 Gorhambury. The plates in illustration of this work are executed in 
 lithography, and are as follows: — •

 Manifesting how one Jeremiah Shore, a Corporal of Dra^ 
 gooners under his Excellence, being wounded at the Battel 
 at Keynton, came to the Anchor at Warwick, a little Inne, 
 and gave the Hostesse of the House a Bagge of Money to 
 keepe for him untill such time as hee had recovered his 
 Health. Also, how the said Hostesse conspired with her 
 Husband to couzen the said Souldier of his Money, causing 
 him to be imprisoned for offering to demand it. With the 
 manner how they forswore themselves before the Bench; 
 and how God's just Judgment immediately feU before them, 
 to the terror and amazement of all that great Assembly. 
 Whereunto is annexed, another fearefull Example which 
 happened at Coventry.

 " The editor, in presenting to a few of his friends this reprint of a 
 curious Warwickshire tract in his possession, does not venture to assert, 
 whatever his opinion may he, that his little volume is unique. But he 
 may confidently say that it is extremely scarce ; because during an eager 
 search of many years for rarities of this kind, no other copy has come to 
 his knowledge, either in any catalogue of public or private libraries, or 
 by the information of friends well versed in the knowledge of books. If 
 this tract be considered of little or no interest in the present day, yet its 
 rare occurrence will perhaps make a republication of it acceptable to 
 those for whom it is intended; and therefore a veiy limited impression, 
 of twenty copies only, is taken for private distribution. — W. S.

 These Letters were printed by Samuel Mills, of Thetford, for private 
 distribution among the friends of the author, Edmund Henry Barker, Esq. 
 of Thetford — " one of the editors of the London Greek Thesaurus; and 
 in profound knowledge of the Greek language is little inferior to him 
 [Dr. Parr] of whom he has given, in these volumes, important accounts 
 and pleasing anecdotes. He is most fertile and indefatigable in tracing 
 various meanings of words, in finding parallel passages, in verifying 
 quotations, discovering authorities, and detecting errors."* These 
 Letters were subsequently reprinted in a small volume, with considerable 
 additions. In a notice of this work in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1828, 
 the reviewer says, that "Mr. Barker has made out a better case for 
 Mr. Lloyd, than has been done for any other; but that the question is 
 not completely cleared of aU doubt."

 This Narrative is drawn up by Benjamin Hawes, Esq., member of

 request. " It is printed in order to gratify the inquiries of numerous 
 fiiends, and to prevent the wearisome repetition and verbal detail of the 
 same story; and it is hoped it will be acceptable to those for whom alone 
 it is intended." The party reached the summit on the 25th July, 1827. 
 " The view and the scenery around them, were objects of intense curio- 
 sity; and here they found themselves more than compensated for all 
 their labours." The Narrative, which was obligingly lent to the editor, 
 was illustrated with several Swiss views of the scenery in this wild spot? 
 autographs of the travellers and their guides, written when on the summit; 
 and an attestation of the Syndic at Chamouny, of the completion of the 
 enterprise, by Mr. Hawes and his companion.

 a memorandum of an attempt to draw the attention of the Society of 
 Antiquaries to an object which, it is hoped, will be eventually accom- 
 plished.

 Lettres sur la Cour de la Chancellerie, et quelques 
 Points de la Jurisprudence Angloise. Par M. C. P. 
 Cooper, Avocat Anglois. Nouvelle edition, revue et 
 corrigee. 
 
 A Londres. 1828. 8vo. 
 
 The first edition of this book was published anonymously in the month 
 of October, 1827; but the sale was immediately suspended, — for what 
 reason is not very apparent, as the author distributed all the remaining 
 copies among his professional Mends. The above edition was privately 
 printed; and it is said that only one copy has ever occurred in a sale 
 catalogue. The work, being much sought after as containing the original 
 sketch of the legal reforms that have lately taken place, or that are now 
 in progress, as well as numerous curious details respecting the English 
 judges and bar, foreign codes, &c., has been twice reprinted on the 
 Continent, at Paris and at Bruxelles. Mr. Cooper, of the Chancery bar, 
 and the Secretary to the Record Board, is the author both of the Letters 
 and the Notes; although the Continental editions, following the first 
 edition, represent the Letters to have been actually written by a French- 
 man.

 By the Venerable Archdeacon Wrangham; who says, "I feel assured 
 that, without any intercession on my part, the kind and candid reader, 
 for whom alone these trifles are intended, will treat them kindly and 
 candidly; and admit, that the editor of Bishop Walton's Prolegomena to 
 the Polyglott Bible, may venially indulge in a little innocent recreation." 
 
 A specimen of these elegant Latin rhymes is here subjoined — a, version 
 of one of the most popular of Mr. Bayly's songs.

 This Catalogue describes the collection of Thomas Wilson, Esq., of 
 Montagu Square, one of the most eminent collectors of choice engravings, 
 and generally admitted a most excellent judge. 
 
 Twenty copies of this catalogue were printed on large paper, which 
 were distributed among the most distinguished collectors of the present 
 day. This collection, considering its extent, is esteemed one of the 
 / most select ever formed by a single individual. In the Introduction, the 
 author says, " An admirer of the art of engraving, wishes to leave some 
 testimony of the pleasure he has derived from his pursuit as the collector 
 and possessor of these specimens; and he could not, therefore, deny 
 himself the additional amusement of describing them; of prefixing a 
 short biography of each master, where it was practicable; and of 
 adding such anecdotes of the prints collected, as senmed to him to be 
 interesting." 
 
 In the volume are forty-three plates, consisting of initial letters, vig- 
 nettes,^ tail-pieces, &c., designed by Frank Howard, George Cruikshank, 
 and other artists: and in the index are a few monograms, used by 
 different engravers.

 1627, and lies buried in the chancel of the church at Wandsworth, his 
 native village. Mr. Gwilt is a lineal descendant of the alderman's sister. 
 
 A Description of a Series of Illustrations to

 Mr. G. P. Harding, an artist eminent in his profession, and who 
 excels in copying ancient portraits, devoted a period of ten years to 
 illuminating a very beautiful Manuscript History of the Princes of 
 Wales; which many of the nobility and gentry have had an opportunity 
 of seeing. This little tract is descriptive of its illustrative decorations, 
 derived from authorities not very commonly resorted to, particularly the 
 heraldic badges and cognizances of the several princes, distinguishing 
 the different royal families. In this part of his work, consisting of not 
 less than one hundred and seventy drawings, Mr. Harding was assisted 
 by Mr. Young, Mr. Willement, and Mr. Moule; by the last of whom 
 this account of the heraldic devices was written.

 FROM M. A. FLAMINIO. 
 
 TO HIS OWN ESTATE. 
 
 Dear Mansion, once my Father's home ! 
 
 Sweet farm, his pride and joy ! 
 Ye could not shield, ye could not save, 
 When he was carried to the grave. 
 
 His little orphan-boy! 
 
 A stranger came with iron hand. 
 
 Lord of that evil day; 
 And drove me forth with weeping eye 
 To seek, through toil and poverty. 
 
 My miserable way. 
 
 But now my gracious prince restores 
 
 The poet's home again : 
 He comes, with bis victorious reed. 
 To teach the river, mount and mead 
 A proud, yet grateful strain. 
 
 He comes, in yon dear latticed room 
 To dream of childhood's days; 
 
 He comes, beneath his father's trees 
 
 To mix with rustic melodies 
 
 The great Famese's praise. 
 
 Break forth, my Father's blessed Home ! 
 
 Thou prize of minstrelsy! 
 He comes — ^thy good old master's son — 
 Up! with thy tuneful benison : 
 
 Give praise and melody!

 TO HIS WIFE. 
 
 ON THE BIRTH OF THK AUTHOr's DAUGHTER ROSAMOND. 
 
 I linger by thy silent bed, 
 
 Yet sorrow not; — for in thine eye, 
 
 And gentle brow, no trace remains 
 Of pain gone by: 
 
 She, who lies sleeping on thy breast. 
 Hath turned thy grief to ecstasy. 
 
 Ah ! not in vain thy tender looks 
 
 Fall on thy husband's watchful heart: 
 
 They bid me share thy joy, and fain — 
 Fain would impart. 
 
 Those mysteries of maternal love, 
 That ne'er shall from thy soul depart. 
 
 And not in vain thy husband's prayer 
 
 Shall duly rise for her, for thee : 
 This Rose, now budding by thy side — 
 
 Oh ! may she be 
 For ever sweet to earth and heaven. 
 
 As thou hast been to God and me ! 
 
 And thou, through life's long pilgrimage, 
 Shalt on thy daughter's love recline; 
 And teach her like a star of peace, 
 Like thee, to shine — 
 
 Studious of every earthly grace, 
 But trusting only to Divine. 
 
 And when in age thy God shall stoop 
 To take his gift, thy pure-drawn breath. 
 
 Her bosom shall thy pillow be : 
 Her love, her faith. 
 
 Shall cheer thee to the last, and share 
 Thy triumph o'er the sting of death.

 The most pleasant Song of Lady Bessy, the eldest 
 Daughter of King Edward the Fourth; and how she 
 married King Henry the Seventh, of the House of Lan- 
 caster. With Notes, by Thomas Heywood, F.A.S. 
 
 " Sermones ego mallem 
 
 Repentes per humum." 
 
 London: Printed by Richard Taylor, Red-Lion-court, 
 Fleet-street, m.dccc.xxix. l2mo. pp. 82; Introduction, 
 &c. pp. xvi. 
 
 This Song is copied from a manuscript in the possession of William 
 Bateman, Esq., F.A.S.; the hand-writing is of the age of Charles the 
 Second. Lady Bessy was the eldest daughter of Edward the Fourth, by 
 the ill-omened marriage of that monarch with the daughter of Earl 
 Rivers. The British Museum possesses a copy of this MS., of the time 
 of Queen Elizabeth. 
 
 The ballad itself presents some curious historical notices, -which, 
 whether real or fictitious, deserve the attention of Writers upon the 
 historical events of the period to which it refers. The Introduction and 
 Notes, from the pen of Mr. Heywood, will be found to aiTord information 
 both valuable and interesting. 
 
 Index to the Roll of Arms, of the Sovereign, and of

 Domini 1515: In the possession of Thomas Willement. 
 
 London. 1829. Not printed for sale. Royal ito. and 
 one copy on atlas 4to. pp. 17. 
 
 Mr. WUlement, who has done more than any other artist of his day 
 toward a restoration of the true character of heraldic design, published 
 a lithographed fac-simile of this contemporary roll in his possession, in 
 which the arms were emblazoned in strict imitation of the original 
 vellum ; and dedicated it to the Earl of Abergavenny, K.T. Such rolls, 
 
M.DCCC.XXIX. 263 
 
 or lists of the peers of parliament, it was the custom, at least as early as 
 the reign of Henry VIII., for Garter King of Arms to prepare ; they 
 were similar, excepting with respect to the arms, to those lists which, 
 since the Restoration, Garter has regularly presented to the House at 
 the commencement of each session. This puhlication, as a fac-simile, is 
 valuable in an heraldic point of view, as affording contemporary evidence 
 of armorial bearings, and as specimens of the style of emblazoning 
 heraldry at the commencement of the sixteenth century. 
 
 Mr. Willement, in this publication, which was confined to fifty copies, 
 adapted it to the provisions of the Acts of Queen Anne and George HI. 
 for the encouragement of leainiQg, to avoid the obligation of delivering 
 eleven emblazoned copies out of the fifty; he afterward gratuitously 
 distributed this tract, replete with information relative to the Boll, to 
 prevent the obnoxious claim on the part of the Libraries. Beside a 
 preface, at the end of which is the author's mark, T. W., with the motto, 
 aiiS!0p iien come U poujcoj, there is an explanatory index of the coats 
 of arms, fifty in number, consisting of" nine pages. 
 
 Thomas WiUememt, F.S.A., is also the author of " Regal Heraldry," 
 a very curious work ; and is distinguished as a glass-painter. Specimens 
 of his excellence in this peculiar branch of art, are, a window on the 
 stair-case at Bridge Castle; the altar window in the new church of St. 
 Diuistan, Fleet-street; and one in Tyldesley Church, Lancashire; the last 
 copied from the fine altar-piece, at Magdalen College, Oxford. A very 
 fine window, painted for the Earl of Shrewsbury, at Alton-Towers, near 
 Ashboum, is, perhaps, his very best performance in glass.

 a few copies in a convenient form, principally among the members of 
 the Bar, I might contribute to promote that consideration and discussion, 
 without which no important alteration in the laws can prudently be 
 made."

 London, m.dcccxxix. Imp. 8vo. pp. 294. 
 
 Privately printed at the expense of his Grace the Duke of Bedford ; 
 , who says in the Introduction, " My late gardener, Mr. George Sinclair, 
 to whose practical knowledge I was so much indebted in arranging my 
 Catalogue of the Genus Erica, iirst called my attention to the plan of 
 forming a collection of the numerous species and varieties of the genus 
 Salix. The genus Salix is a tribe, of which it may perhaps be said, that 
 they claim no peculiar interest, except to the botanical inquirer. Yet 
 Sir James Smith, in his able Dissertation, has called it a vast, important, 
 and most natural genus. Of the whole family of Willows, the Salix 
 Bdbylonka (weeping-wiUow) seems to be the only one that has hitherto 
 found its way into our dressed gardens, or pleasure grounds : this, from 
 the graceful nature of its growth, must ever be a pleasing object in our 
 home scenery; and an interesting one, from the record of the Psalmist, 
 which gives a sanctity to its name :■ — • 
 
 " 'By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down, yea, we wept when we 
 remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst 
 thereof.' — Ps. cxxxvii." 
 
 Only fifty copies were printed. The frontispiece represents Johnson's 
 Willow, which was destroyed by a storm, April, 1829; it was the Salix 
 Russelliana, measured thirteen feet in girth, and not sixty feet in height. 
 The volume contains coloured representations of the different species of 
 willows ; for the arrangement of which, his Grace states he is entirely 
 indebted to the botanical skill of his gardener, Mr. James Forbes, who 
 has pursued the object with a zeal and perseverance beyond all praise. 
 The engravings are made from the ^drawings of R. C. Stratfold. The 
 work is printed by Mr. Moyes.

 Prefixed is a portrait of St. Anthony, tutelar saint of the Company of 
 Grocers, from an ancient carved figure, preserved at Grocers' Hall. 
 The arms of the Company, which previously existed xmder the title of 
 Pepperers, are on the title-page; and the south view of Grocers' Hall, 
 as it was restored after the fire of London, 1666, wiU be found at 
 p. 42. 
 
 The author of this volume is a. Bank Director, and nephew of Dr. 
 Heath, whose valuable library was disposed ofby public auction in 1810, 
 by the late Mr. JeflFrey. 
 
 "The Grocers' Company,'' says the author, in his preiace, "is the 
 most ancient of the twelve great companies in London ; and as it was, 
 undoubtedly, the first commercial corporation ever known in England, 
 and one from which sprung, in after-times, some of our great mercantile 
 establishments, it has frequently been a source of surprise and regret 
 that there should exist no account of the origin and proceedings of this 
 venerable body." 
 
 A reviewer, in the Gentleman's Magazine,* says, — " We canndt pass 
 over Mr. Heath's masterly vindication of Sir John Cutler, whose memory 
 has been ' damned to everlasting fame,' by Pope. Our author shows 
 that he was a liberal benefactor to the company in his life-time, by 
 erecting buildings at the hall after the fire of London, and the founder 
 of a lecture at Gresham College, for the benefit of Stock the mathema- 
 tician; beside which, he repaired St. Margaret's church, at Westminster, 
 and built a gallery for the sole use of the poor. Upon these facts, Mr. 
 Heath adds, ' Surely these are not the acts of a man who, 
 
 " saw tenants break, and houses fall; 
 
 For very want, he could not build a wall: 
 
 December, 1832. 
 
268 M.DCCC.XXIX. 
 
 one part of the charge of meanness, so forcibly put by the satirist — 
 
 " His only daughter in a stranger's power, 
 For very want, he could not pay a dower;" 
 
 sinks into groundless slander; for Mr. Heath shows that he had two 
 daughters; to one of whom he gave a marriage-portion of 20,000?., and 
 settled on the other, on her marriage with the Earl of Radnor, the mag- 
 nificent mansion and estate of Wimpole Hall, in Cambridgeshire, which 
 he had purchased for that purpose." 
 
 It is hardly to be expected, that Mr. Heath's spirited example ■will find 
 many followers among the other City Companies: but it is hoped that it 
 may induce those, who manage their affairs, to devote some portion of 
 their revenues to the investigation of their early history; and we think it 
 would well become a company like that of the Stationers, so intimately 
 connected with the early literary history of the country, not to be last in 
 following so liberal an example. 
 
 Mr. Heath's own copy of this History of the Grocers, is illustrated, to 
 a very great extent, by drawings and prints of every member of the 
 company, as well as the arms of every distinguished person connected 
 with it: among them is a very fine copy of the portrait of Sir John 
 Cutler, now in their hall. The drawings were made by G. P. Harding: 
 the illustrations added, form four volumes in folio size.

 This volume was printed, for private distribution, at the expense of 
 Charles George Young, Esq., York Herald, F.S.A. It was compiled 
 under his direction, by Mr. W. H. Black; and contains an account of 
 that portion of the Arundel Library which was given by Henry, Duke 
 of Norfolk, to the College of Arms, in 1678. 
 
 The rest of the Arundel MSS. were given to the Royal Society; and 
 have, in pursuance of a bargain between the Council of that learned 
 body and the Trustees of the British Museum, made in 1829, become the 
 property of the latter. They appear to have been valued at 3559i 3s.; 
 which sum was to be paid to the Royal Society in books computed of 
 that value; the Trustees of the Museum undertaking to sell certain of

 their duplicates, and to apply the funds arising therefrom to the purchase 
 of such scientific works as the Council and Fellows of the Royal Society 
 should choose; eventually, however, books to the amount of 4551. only, 
 were taken, and the remainder was paid in money. It is not very 
 probable, that learned body will ever again have the opportunity of 
 bartering so valuable a gift; for few persons will hereafter be disposed 
 to leave anything to a Society, whose Council could recommend, and 
 whose Fellows sanctioned, that disposal of them. -'

 The Worme of Lambton. 
 Durham. 1830. Ato. pp. 15. 
 
 Thirty copies were printed, for private circulation, by Sir Cuthbert 
 Sharp. The story of the Worme of Lambton being a very interesting 
 one, the editor has introduced the account, from Mr. Surtees' valuable 
 History of Durham: — 
 
 " The heir of Lambton,* fishing, as was his profane custom, in the 
 Wear on a Sunday, hooked a small worm or eft, which he carelessly 
 threw into a well, and thought no more of the adventure. The worm 
 (at first neglected) grew till it was too large for its first habitation ; and 
 issuing forth from the Worm Well, betook itself to the Wear, where it 
 usually lay a part of the day, coiled round a crag in the middle of the 
 water; it also frequented a green mound near the well (the Worm Hill), 
 where it lapped itself nine times round, leaving vermicular traces, of 
 which, grave living witnesses depose that they have seen the vestiges. 
 It now became the terror of the country; and amongst other enormities, 
 levied a daily contribution of nine cows' milk, which was always placed 
 for it at the green hill, and in default of which it devoured man and 
 beast. Young Lambton had, it seems, meanwhile, totally repented him 
 of his former life and conversation; had bathed himself in a bath of holy 
 water, taken the sign of the cross, and joined the Crusaders. On his 
 return home, he was extremely shocked at witnessing the efiects of his 
 youthful imprudences, and immediately undertook the adventure. After 
 several fierce combats, in which the Crusader was foiled by his enemy's 
 power of self-union, he found it expedient to add policy to courage, and 
 not perhaps possessing much of the former quality, he went to consult a 
 witch, or wise woman. By her judicious advice, he armed himself in a 
 coat of mail studded with razor blades; and thus prepared, placed 
 himself on the crag in the river, and awaited the monster's arrival. At 
 the usual time the Worm came to the rock, and wound himself with 
 
 * " The tradition, however, is not constant as to young Lambton, the hero of 
 the tale, being the original fisherman. The transgression is sometimes attri- 
 buted to a wicked quidam, with many vulgar additions. 
 
278 M.DCCC.XXX. 
 
 great fiiry round the armed knight, who had the satisfaction to see his 
 enemy cut in pie(^s by his own efforts, whilst the stream washing away 
 the severed parts, prevented the possibility of re-union. There is still a 
 sequel to the story: the witch had promised Lambton success only on 
 one condition, that he should slay the first living thing which met his 
 sight after the victory. To avoid the possibility of human slaughter, 
 Lambton had directed his father, that as soon as he heard him sound 
 three blasts on his bugle, in token of the achievement performed, he 
 should release his favourite greyhound, which would immediately fly to 
 the sound of the horn, and was destined to be the sacrifice. On hearing 
 his son's bugle, however, the old chief was so overjoyed, that he forgot 
 the injunctions, and ran himself with open arms to meet his son. Instead 
 of committing a parricide, the conqueror again repaired to his adviser, 
 who pronounced, as the alternative of disobeying the original instructions, 
 that no chief of the Lambtons should die in his bed for seven, or (as 
 some accounts say) for nine generations — a commutation which to a 
 martial spirit had nothing probably very terrible, and which was willingly 
 comphed with, 
 
 "The story, such as it is, full of plot and incident, certainly ranks 
 amongst the most popular traditions of this country, and has been trans- 
 mitted, with very little variation, for centuries, from father to son ; and 
 various facts have been pressed into the service, to establish the commi- 
 nation of sudden death that has been supposed to hang over the family. 
 The date of the story is of course uncertain ; but nine ascending gene- 
 rations from the late General Lambton (in whom popular tradition 
 afiirmed the curse to expire) would exactly reach to Sir John Lambton, 
 knight of Rhodes, of whom this curious entry stands in an old MS. 
 pedigree, lately in the possession of the family of Middleton, of 
 Offerton: — 
 
 " ' Johan Lambeton that slewe y Worme was knight of Rhoodes and 
 Lord of Lambeton and Wod Apilton efter the dethe of fower brothers 
 sans esshewe masle. His sou Robert Lampton was drowned at Newe- 
 brigg.' That the knight ever succeeded to the family estates, however, 
 contradicts the proven pedigree. 
 
 "The Worm Hill stands not within the domain of Lambton, but on 
 the north bank of the Wear, in the estate of North Biddick, a mile and 
 
M.DCCG.XXX. 279 
 
 a half, it may be, from old Lambton Hall. The Hill is a small artificial 
 cone, formed of common earth and river gravel. The Worm WpU lies 
 betwixt the Hill and the Wear.* Half a century ago, the Worm Well 
 was in repute as a Wishing Well, and was one of the scenes dedicated to 
 the usual festivities and superstitions of Midsummer eve ; a crooked pin 
 may sometimes be still discovered, sparkling amongst the clear gravel at 
 the bottom of its basin.f 
 
 "The Lambton Worm belongs to a class of household tales, the 
 genuine appendages of ancient families long occupying the same ground 
 and station ; and perhaps no other certain deduction can be drawn from 
 such legends, excepting that the families to which they relate, are of 
 ancient popular reputation, against whose gentle condition 'the memory 
 of man runneth not to the contrary.' Sometimes, indeed, the tale 
 relates to the founder of the family, the true story of whose establish- 
 ment being long forgotten, tradition has thrown a misty halo round his 
 brows. Like the preux chevalier of romance, the homo propositus of the 
 name goes forth to slay wolf, bear, or wivem; and if on his return he 
 does not marry the king's daughter, he at least receives broad lands and 
 livings as his guerdon. To this class belong the Worm of Sockbum, 
 the Brawn of Pollard's Dene (both which have faulchion evidence), the 
 Boar of Kentmere, and that other Brawn of Brancepath, whom Roger 
 de Fery slew treacherously in a pit-fall at Cleves Cross. J But the 
 Lambtons were a family of good and valorous repute long before the 
 date of their family legend (which only ascends to the fourteenth cen- 
 tury) ; and it does not appear that the hero of the tale reaped any thing 
 from his adventure, except the honour of the achievement, and a very 
 singular curse on his descendants to the ninth generation." 
 
 " * The Worm Well had formerly a cover, and an iron dish or ladle. 
 
 "t Distance from the Hill to the Well, 26 yards; from the Well to the 
 River, 48 yards C. S. 
 
 " X And exactly in point is that Worm of Linton, in Roxburghshire, whom 
 the wily Scotch knight (said to be one of the Somervilles), watching when the 
 wind was in the right quarter, slew, with a sod of blazing peat on the point of 
 his spear, which answered the double purpose of stifling the monster, and pre- 
 serving the assailant from the effects of its pestilent breath ; the achievement is 
 still visible in stone, over the south door of Linton Church, ' a rude sculpture.

 Memoranda relative to the Lines thrown up at Lisbon, 
 in 1810. By Colonel John T. Jones, R.E. 
 Printed for private circulation. 
 [1830]. 8vo. pp. 188. 
 
 The reviewer of this work, in the United Service Journal, says, " We 
 cannot conclude, without declaring a hope, that the private form of cir- 
 culation which Colonel Jones has chosen for Memoranda specially 
 relating to the Lines, will not be allowed to have superseded a design so 
 pregnant with improvement to the members of every branch of his pro- 
 fession; we trust that Colonel Jones will be persuaded to enlarge and 
 publish, for the benefit of the young oflScers of the British army, the last 
 portions of this little work, which, we do not hesitate to say, already 
 contain, even in their present simple and unpretending form, an infinitely 
 larger portion of professional instruction than is to be found in many 
 very voluminous and elaborate systems of Field Fortification." 
 
 Colonel Jones is the author of a History of the Peninsular War, in 
 two volumes octavo ; a work which has a great reputation among miUtary 
 
 representing a knight with a falcon on his arm, encountering with his lance, 
 in full career, a sort of monster, which the people call a Worm.' Border 
 Minstrelsy J notes to Kenvpion. 
 
 ' The wode Laird of Lariestoun 
 Slew the wode worme of Wormistoune, 
 And wan all Linton paroschine.' 
 
 "The title Worm, was certainly used with great latitude ; Dante calls that 
 venerable quadruped Cerberus, II gran Verme inferno. 
 
 " One would suppose, that sometimes the sculpture said to commemorate 
 the legend, has, vice versa, given rise to the fable. At Kirkby-Stephen, the 
 first Lord Wharton (who won his title by hard blows with the Scotch) sleeps 
 in effigy on an altar tomb, and presses with his feet the family crest, a bull's 
 head ; and this bull's head is in popular opinion thought to represent the Devil, 
 and to allude to some very ghastly encounter sustained by the gallant Warden 
 of the Borders, against the common Enemy of Man."

 An Historical and Genealogical Account of the

 This volume is compiled by Daniel Rowland, Esq., agent to the 
 present Earl of Abergavenny; the male representative of a baronial 
 line of that once splendid and illustrious House of Neville. To all 
 readers of English history, the name of Neville is familiar; and until 
 the close of the reign of the Tudors, few events of historical importance 
 occurred, without the association of the names of some of this aspiring 
 and powerful family. The distinguished and able historian of Durham, 
 speaking of this noble race, remarks: "The Earls of Westmoreland, 
 though extremely powerful, possessed only the natural influence of their 
 high rank and extended property, and remained uniformly loyal to the 
 reigning line; whilst the issue of their father's second bed, the Nevills 
 of Salisbury and Warwick, soared to the highest ofiSces of the state, 
 and were the chief agents in the- destruction of their kindred blood of 
 Lancaster. Salisbury, Warwick, and Montagu, perished in the storm 
 which they had raised; and their blood, mingled with that of Plantagenet, 
 flowed on the scaffold, under the Tudors. The succeeding age saw the 
 House of Westmoreland plunged in irretrievable ruin : and now, of aU 
 this stately branching cedar, whose boughs once shadowed the land, the 
 line of Abergavenny, not distinguished in the modern Peerage either by 
 superior titles or splendid fortunes, alone remains." — I. Ivii.

 Of Eridge Castle, Mr. Rowland says, — "The castle, as a dwelling, 
 may be said to be possessed of much elasticity in its construction. It is 
 calculated to hold a very large establishment; and it is a place, at the 
 same time, in the arrangement of its apartments, well adapted to afford 
 great domestic comfort to a more limited family. It is situated in a 
 well wooded and watered park, containing above three thousand acres of 
 land. It is surrounded by an ample demesne of ten thousand acres. It 
 is laid out in rides and drives, which measure fifty-four miles. In one 
 direction, from Tonbridge Wells to Rotherfield, the demesne is seven 
 miles, and from east to west five miles long."

 Papers elucidating the Claim of Sir Augustus d'Este, 
 K.C.H. 
 London. J831. 8vo. pp.38. 
 
 The peculiar interest of the question discussed in this volume, as 
 relating perhaps remotely to the succession of the Hanoverian crown, 
 has procured for it some considerable attention. It was privately 
 printed and circulated, with a view to put the friends of Sir Augustus 
 d'Este in possession of the opinions of Dr. Lushington and Mr. Richards, 
 respecting the marriage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to 
 Lady Augusta Murray, at Rome, in 1793. That marriage was dissolved 
 by the Court of Arches in 1794. Some additional evidence respecting it 
 having been obtained by Sir Augustus d'Este (not formerly before the 
 Court of Arches), which induced him to consider that a marriage beyond 
 sea, and out of the jurisdiction either of the British crown or British 
 parliament, was not affected by the Royal Marriage Act of 12 Geo. III., 
 he submitted a case to those learned Counsel; who, after "great consi- 
 deration," have pronounced their opinion, that the Act in question does 
 not extend to marriages of the descendants of George II.j solemnized 
 honafide out of Great Britain, and beyond the limits of British jurisdic- 
 tion; and that the marriage at Rome was not impeachable under that 
 statute. 
 
 The subject having attracted public attention, this volume was 
 reprinted for sale in 1832, and published with another, entitled, "The 
 Case of the Children of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, eluci-

 Sketch-book of Inigo Jones. 1831. 8vo. 
 
 A fac-simile of the original, in the possession of his Grace the Duke 
 of Devonshire; executed in lithography at the expense of his Grace. 
 One hundred copies only were printed; which have heen liberally distri- 
 buted among the friends of the noble owner of the original manuscript. 
 
 The editor feels that the best account he can give of this very 
 curious volume, will be found in the subjoined letter from Mr. Collier, 
 addressed to Thomas Amyot, Esq., Treasurer of the Society of Anti- 
 quaries: — 
 
 "23, Hunter-street, Brunswick-sguare, 
 "Dec. 22, 1831. 
 " My dear Sir, 
 
 " I am directed by the Duke of Devonshire to present 
 to the Society of Antiquaries a Fac-simile of the Sketch-book of Inigo 
 Jones; and I may with peculiar propriety make you the medium of this 
 communication, inasmuch as his Grace in the first instance, and as a 
 personal testimony, gave you a copy of it. The original is a relic of 
 extraordinary value and curiosity, consisting of drawings in pen and 
 ink, with accompanying illustrative remarks and general observations, 
 entirely by the hand of the architect of the Banqueting House at White- 
 hall; and it affords evidence of the great diligence, as well as of the 
 skill and taste of the author. It was made while he was in Italy, in the 
 year 1614. 
 
 " The Sketches are not only from statues and reUefs, but from pictures 
 by the most celebrated masters of the Italian schools ; and the motto 
 chosen by this distinguished man, and prefixed to his Sketch-book, 
 supplies an interesting characteristic, shewing that at the age of forty- 
 two, Inigo Jones thought himself happy only while he was improving 
 his taste, enlarging his mind, and laying in fresh stores of science — 
 
 ' AUro diletto che imparar non trovo,' 
 
 "Another circumstance connected with this production deserves 
 notice. It is known that Inigo Jones evinced his earliest fondness for 
 the arts in Landscape Painting, and in the Duke of Devonshire's col- 
 lection at Chiswick is a rare specimen of his skill in this department. 
 Although Inigo Jones had been appointed Architect to the King of 
 
 u2 
 
292 M.DCCC.XXXI. 
 
 Denmark before the year 1606, the Sketch-book does not contain a 
 single design, hint, or note, of or for any building, public or private; 
 while it is obvious from every page, that the author was studying the 
 human figure with great care, and delineating the features of the human 
 face in minute detail. Hence it would seem, that in 1614 he was 
 devoting his attention very much to painting and sculpture; as if 
 anxious to supply deiiciehcies of which he was aware, and as if this, his 
 second visit to the Continent, had been undertaken chiefly with that 
 purpose. It will be seen that nothing was too great for his ambition, 
 nothing too insignificant for his observation — from the Last Judgment of 
 Michael Angelo, to the simplest folds of drapery. 
 
 "The Sketch-book of Inigo Jones also serves to clear up a point in 
 his biography ; of the more importance, because it has relation to his 
 quarrel with Ben Jonson. On the first page it bears the date of ' Rome, 
 1614,' which at once settles the question disputed by Mr. Gifibrd and 
 Mr. A. Chalmers, whether the disagreement between Inigo Jones and 
 Ben Jonson ' commenced in 1614.' Of course, it could not ' commence ' 
 while Inigo Jones was in Italy ; and the hostility certainly did not break 
 out until a much later period, viz. Christmas 1631-2. Inigo Jones at 
 that date took offence that Ben Jonson had omitted his name on the 
 title-page of the Masque of ' Chloridia,' on the preparations and scenery 
 for which Inigo Jones had been engaged. This circumstance establishes 
 that Ben Jonson had no reference to Inigo Jones, in his ' Bartholomew 
 Fair,' acted in 1614, the very year when Inigo Jones was in Italy, while 
 it tends to fix upon him the ridicule contained in ' The Tale of a Tub,' 
 which was performed in 1633. 
 
 " The precise date when Inigo Jones returned to England has not 
 been ascertained, but his departure has been erroneously stated to have 
 taken place in 1612. It appears by a Privy Seal, published by me in 
 ' The Annals of the Stage, and History of Dramatic Poetry,' that Inigo 
 Jones was engaged in January 1612-13, in making arrangements for a 
 Masque at Court. He probably left this country soon afterwards. 
 
 " The Sketch-book is only a very small part of the valuable remains 
 connected with the life and reputation of Inigo Jones, transmitted to 
 the Duke of Devonshire by the celebrated Earl of Burlington. Inigo 
 Jones, with some interruptions in consequence of absence from England, 
 superintended most of the court entertainments, from the accession of 
 
M.DCCC.XXXI. 293 
 
 James the First to the commencement of the Civil Wars; and at Devon- 
 shire House are preserved the original designs, not only of the scenes 
 but of the characters, for the Masques at the different royal residences. 
 The details of all the fantastic habiliments are given with the utmost 
 minuteness, both as to form and colour; and the sketches for large views 
 of rocks, waterfalls, woods, palaces, or temples, illustrate most remark- 
 ably the contrivances for the representation of those splendid shows 
 which were the peculiar dehght of our first Stuart, and of his unfortunate 
 successor. 
 
 " With regard to the execution of the Fac-simile which accompanies 
 this letter, as I carefully watched its progress through the hands of the 
 lithographer, I may be allowed to say that it is both faithfiil and spirited, 
 and that it gives an exact notion, externally and internally, of the 
 original. Having gone over the pages of the manuscript while it was 
 in my custody, you also can bear testimony to the accuracy of the 
 imitation. 
 
 " The impressions were limited very far below the demands upon the 
 liberality of the Duke of Devonshire; but his Grace felt that antiquaries 
 must take a peculiar interest in the subject; and, although not himself a 
 member, his known attachment to the objects of this Society, and his 
 strong desire to promote them, have induced his Grace to send a copy 
 for its acceptance.

 EecoiD ®atnmi0Sion» 
 On the accession of his present Majesty, a new commission was issued 
 under the great seal, appointing Commissioners to inquire into the state 
 of Public Records, and to take measures for their more convenient use, 
 and better preservation. The proceedings of the old Commission had 
 long been subjected, through the press, to strong animadversions. Con- 
 siderable abuses had no doubt prevailed under the old system ; and a 
 most exti'avagant expenditure had taken place. The appointment of a 
 new Commission, with a new Secretary, naturally induced some inquiry 
 as to the proceedings of the former one, and into the conduct and remu- 
 neration of the parties employed under it. Such inquiry, as might be 
 expected, led to charges and explanations, which appeared in the form of 
 letters and pamphlets, addressed chiefly to the Commissioners in general, 
 or to individual Members of the Board. As some of them contain 
 valuable information connected with the Public Records, and the subject 
 being, in every way, interesting and important to the public in general, 
 the Editor has obtained an account of such as were privately printed, 
 either by order of the Board, by the Secretary, or by the authors of the 
 different pamphlets. The impressions, in most cases, were very limited 
 in number, and confined to private circulation. Upon the merits or 
 demerits of the several questions agitated, it is neither necessary nor 
 within the scope of the Editor's work to enter.

 From the peculiar nature of the contents, twenty-five copies only have 
 been printed, for the private use of the Right Honorable Members of 
 the Board. The names of the Commissioners are prefixed; and in the 
 copy to whom each belongs, the name is there printed in red ink, as 
 well as on the title page. Why a report of gentlemen named to inquire 
 into the conduct of a public servant, and the expenditure of public 
 money, should be printed, and confined in its circulation to the Commis- 
 sioners only, does not appear. 
 
 Proceedings of His Majesty's Commissioners on the 
 Public Records of the Kingdom, folio: 1832 — 1833. 
 
 Only twenty-five copies are printed, for the use of the Board. This 
 work is said to be full of curious historical and archaeological informa- 
 tion ; but as it is printed (like the House of Commons' papers) simply to

 facilitate the transaction of the public business of the Commissioners at 
 their different meetingSj if the number of copies printed corresponds 
 with the number of the Commissioners, it seems not improbable that a 
 perfect copy will be of very rare occurrence ; a circumstance very much 
 to be regretted.

 The Scrope and Grosvenor Roll. De Controversia 
 in Curia Militari, inter Ricardum Le Scrope et Robertum 
 Grosvenor, Milites: Rege Ricardo Secundo, m.ccc.lxxxv. 
 — M.ccc.xc. 1832. Impl. %vo. 
 
 These beautiful volumes emanate from the press of Mr. Samuel 
 Bentley, and reflect the highest credit upon the typographical art. 
 
 The impression is strictly limited, and no copies are printed for s,ale. 
 The publication originated with a few individuals, who associated them- 
 selves together, and obtained a subscription for the purpose of presenting 
 to the public, under the editorship of Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas, this 
 curious roll, accompanied by historical and biographical illustrations. 
 Its subject is the celebrated dispute between Sir Richard Scrope and Sir 
 Robert Grosvenor, in the reign of King Richard the Second, and which 
 was carried on in the Court of Chivalry during a period of five years, 
 with considerable spirit and perseverance by both parties, who enhsted 
 on their respective sides as witnesses, some of the most distinguished 
 knights and warriors who flourished in that age of chivalry. 
 
 Two volumes only are at present printed. The first contains a literal 
 copy of the RoH, from the original in the Tower, with some relative 
 documents, to which a title-page and Historical Introduction are pro- 
 mised, on the completion of the work. The second, which is complete 
 (with the exception of a title-page), consists of a History of the House 
 of Scrope, down to the reign of King Henry the Fourth, accompanied 
 by pedigrees of the two leading Houses of Bolton and Masham, followed 
 by biographical notices of the deponents in favour of Scrope, and a 
 translation of the material parts of their depositions. The notices of 
 Scrope's witnesses are not concluded in this volume; and the whole of 
 those of Grosvenor remain to be produced. 
 
 The third volume, therefore (not yet, however, in the press), is 
 intended to contain the conclusion of the notices of Scrope's deponents, 
 as well as similar notices of those of Grosvenor ; the latter to be preceded 
 by an account of the ancient family of Grosvenor, and accompanied by 
 other historical and illustrative notes. 
 
 The work, from its limited impression, must be always rare ; a copy 
 of the pubUshed volumes, recently sold under the hammer of Mr. Evans, 
 brought \0l. lOs., and was the first copy that has been offered for sale.

 Two hundred and fifty copies of this edition were printed, for private

 of the late Dr. Busby, Dean of Rochester, is prefixed to this edition. 
 " Dear to the Muse is he, and well may claim 
 The grateful tribute of her sweetest lay ; 
 Who o'er the tomb of Genius strews the bay. — 
 Nor does he less deserve the meed of Fame, 
 Whose pious hand repairs its half lost name, 
 And broken sculpture, which Time's slow decay 
 Hath marred, or Vandal hands have torn away. — 
 And such due rites and service as became 
 The Muses' faithiul votary hast thou paid. 
 For all the treasured rolls of ancient lore. 
 Which deep research, and critic labour aid. 
 The midnight lamp hath seen thine eye explore, 
 From them of costly gems a wreath to braid. 
 To deck his tomb, who sleeps on Avon's shore.'"

 London: Printed by William Clowes, 14, Charing-cross.

 Of this work, only thirty copies were printed, at the expense of Sir 
 George Harrison, K.C.H., one of the King's council, and Auditor of the 
 accounts of his Majesty's Duchy of Lancaster. 
 
 The volume, which is dedicated to his present Majesty, contains the 
 result of an investigation into which Sir George Harrison entered, in 
 the discharge of his duty as one of the council, and in support of the 
 King's rights, arising within the fees and liberties of the Duchy, out of 
 the County Palatine. 
 
 The first part of the work, entitled Observations, was written in 
 consequence of the opinion of the attorney and solicitor general (Sir 
 James Scarlett and Sir Edward B. Sugden), that a certain property 
 within the liberty of the Savoy, had, by the death of H. M. Bulmer, Esq. 
 escheated to the King jure Coronee, and not jure Ducalus. The dissent 
 of the chancellor and council of the Duchy from ,that opinion, led to the 
 submission of the case to the successors in ofiSce of Sir J. Scarlett 
 and Sir E. Sugden — Sir Thomas Denman and Sir William Home — who 
 concurred with their predecessors, and thought, " the property belonged 
 to the Crown, by virtue of its prerogative; not in right of the Duchy of 
 Lancaster." 
 
 The Auditor, notwithstanding those eminent legal opinions to the 
 contrary, contended that the property escheated to the Crown, jure 
 DucATus; and some of his positions having, in the course of the 
 discussions occasioned by the second reference, been questioned by 
 the law authorities, he was induced to enter into a more extended 
 investigation; the result of which was, the Statement of the Case, which 
 follows the Observations, and forms the second part. The inquiry 
 
306 M.DCCC.XXXII. 
 
 was evidently one of laborious research; and Sir George Harrison has 
 in this volume presented a curious and interesting detail respecting the 
 King's rights, as lord of the Duchy of Lancaster.

 In the note upon "Apprenticeship," the author has the following 
 observations: "The series of events pourtrayed by our great moral 
 painter, in his ' Industrious Apprentice,' were common in his days, and 
 not wholly unknown in ours. Of course, the medal has its reverse. 
 The same pencil has delineated the 'Idle Apprentice.' Chains and 
 fetters bound those who broke their indentures. Bridewell was not built 
 to be untenanted. And many a ilatcap was laid by the heels in the 
 stocks, flogged in the hall, or awoke from his merry carouse, in the chill 
 solitude and dreary darkness of the 'Little Ease.' But the system, 
 though it could not amend human nature, recognised those principles by 
 which the means of amendment are afforded. The parties were united 
 by a mutual obligation of obedience and protection. The engagement, 
 when pursued according to its pristine spirit, rendered the master and 
 the servant members of one household and family; and, however imper- 
 fectly, it afforded room for the growth of other motives beyond mere 
 profit and gain. It connected the youth with the municipal institutions 
 of his town, and, through them, with the legislature. And the very 
 same acts of dissoluteness or misconduct, which would impede his own 
 advancement in life, would also deprive him of the franchise which he 
 otherwise would have earned." This tract has since been printed for 
 general sale, by Messrs. Hatchard and Son, Piccadilly.

 This letter to the present Earl of Ripon, has been reprinted, by per- 
 mission of the writer, in the " Annals of the Fine Arts," vol. iii. It 
 is very justly severe on the miserable ebonomy displayed by this country 
 in the support of the fine arts. The writer attributes a considerable 
 share of blame to Mr. Bankes on this account — ^whether justly or no, is 
 another question. Mr. Wilkins sa^s, " The character of Mr. Bankes is 
 a paradox; he professes liberal sentiments, but in matters of a public 
 nature, his acts are marked by the extreme of parsimony — and call for 
 more particular observation, in consequence of his influence in the 
 management of every thing connected with the fine arts and their

 advancement." Mr. Wilkins, however, seems to have been visited with 
 the same failing, when he recently proposed to build a National Gallery, 
 worthy, in his opinion, of the country, for so small a sum as fifty 
 thousand pounds : and which it appears by the Parliamentary proceed- 
 ings, was an estimate much below what any builder could be found to 
 tender. Some remarks having been made in the Literary Gazette, upon 
 Mr. Wilkins' proposed design, that gentleman was induced to make a 
 very singular defence of his building, in the Athenaeum, of March 2, 
 1833: it called forth, naturally, many severe remarks from his professional 
 brethren; among others, the following, which was printed by the author 
 for private circulation : —

 A Description of the Close Rolls in the Tower of 
 London; with an Account of the early Courts of Law and 
 Equity, and various Historical Illustrations. By Thomas 
 Duflfus Hardy, r.S.A., of the Inner Temple. 
 
 Printed for private circulation, m.dccc.xxxiii. Qoo. 
 pp. 192. 
 
 This volume contains Mr. Hardy's Introduction prefixed to the Close 
 Rolls, printed by order of his Majesty's Commissioners for Public 
 Records. 
 
 The work itself, from its size and cost, was not likely to fall into the 
 hands of general readers, to whom an account of those valuable and 
 important documents, and the subjects incidentally connected with them, 
 might be interesting: Mr. Hardy therefore has printed a limited number 
 of copies in this form, to induce a more extended acquaintance with the 
 nature of the Close Rolls, and thereby render the publication itself more 
 generally known.

 In sundry moods, 't was pastime to be bound 
 Within the Sonnet's scanty plot of ground." — Wordsworth.

 Mr. Moxon is a publisher of some celebrity : these Sonnets have been 
 printed by him for private circulation.

 This translation is by Abraham Hayward, Esq., the translator of 
 " Savigny on Legislation," mentioned in page 294. It has since been 
 
312 M.DCCC.XXXIII. 
 
 reprinted, for general sale : in the preface to which edition, the author 
 states, — "I commenced this translation without the slightest idea of 
 publishing it; and even when, by aid of preface and notes, I thought I 
 had produced a hook which might contribute something towards the 
 promotion of German literature in this country, I still felt unwilling to 
 cast it from me, beyond the power of alteration or recall. I therefore 
 circulated the whole of the first impression amongst my acquaintance." 
 A writer in the New Monthly Magazine,* speaking of this translation, 
 says, that " it is the only one that conveys a literal and precise notion of 
 the original. And every English, reader, unacquainted with German, 
 and solicitous to understand that great master-piece of the grotesque — 
 the harmonious union of the humorous and the terrible — should lose no 
 time in possessing himself of so valuable a desideratum." 
 
 A Catalogue of the Printed Books and Manuscripts 
 in the Library of the Inner Temple: arranged in 
 Classes. 
 
 London. 1833. 8vo. pp. 239. 
 
 A new edition of the Catalogue, first printed in 1806. Compiled by 
 the Rev. William Henry Rowlatt, M.A., Librarian. 
 
 These hooks (chiefly on juridical subjects) are alphabetically arranged, 
 with reference to the presses and shelves in which they are deposited. 
 
 "The manuscripts in the Library of the Inner Temple are more than 
 four hundred in number; many of them are on subjects of divinity, 
 general history, &c. &c.; others are ancient MSS. of English historians; 
 and the remainder treat on parliamentary matters, statute and common 
 law, and on ecclesiastical matters, or are copies and extracts from 
 records, repertories to other repositories, and miscellaneous. These 
 MSS. were originally in part collected and partly composed by William 
 Fetyt, Esq., a learned antiquary of the seventeenth century, and 
 keeper of the records in the Tower; who bequeathed them to the Hon. 
 Society of the Inner Temple. The MSS. are in good preservation, and 
 easily accessible. Particulars of their contents are in the First Report 
 of the Public Records, pp. 375 — 378; which also contains an account of

 THE AUCHINLECK PRESS. 
 
 IJCHINLECK is situated three miles from 
 Cumnock, on the road from Dumfries to 
 Kilmarnock. 
 
 Sir John Auchinleck, who lived in the year 
 1499, left two daughters, co-heiresses, one of 
 whom married Thomas, a cadet of the Boswells 
 of Balmuto, Fifeshire, the ancestor of James Boswell, called, on 
 account of his Life of Johnson, "the first of Biographers." 
 
 Alexander Boswell, his father, passed advocate in 1729, and 
 was raised to the Bench, as one of the Senators of the College of 
 Justice, February 15th, 1754 ; on which occasion he assumed 
 the title of Lord Auchinleck. He was also one of the Judges in 
 the Supreme Court of Justiciary; and died August 25th, 1782, 
 in the 76th year of his age. Auchinleck House was built by 
 him; and here he was visited by Dr. Johnson, in 1773. 
 
348 AUCHINLECK PRESS. 
 
 James Boswell, the biographer of Johnson, married Margaret, 
 daughter of David Montgomery, a relation of Lord Eglintoun : 
 he died 19th June, 1795, aet. 54, leaving two sons. Sir Alexander 
 Boswell, and James, the executor of Malone, and editor of the 
 last variorum edition of Shakspeare: he died in the Middle 
 Temple, 24th March, 1822. His library was sold by Sotheby, 
 in June, 1825; it contained a set of books, entitled " Johnson- 
 iana: Memoranda for Boswell's Life of Johnson." 
 
 Sir Alexander Boswell, the eldest son, was created a baronet 
 in the year 1821 ; and was unfortunately killed in a duel, arising 
 from a political dispute, by James Stuart, Esq., of Dunearn. 
 In the new edition of the Life of the great moralist, by Mr. 
 Croker, he thus speaks of him: — "He was a high-spirited, 
 clever, and amiable gentleman ; and, like his father, of a frank 
 and social disposition ; but it is said that he did not relish the 
 recollections of our author's devotion to Dr. Johnson: like old 
 Lord Auchinleck, he seemed to think it a kind of derogation. 
 He left issue, a son and two daughters." 
 
 Sir Alexander Boswell converted a little building near the 
 house, into a printing office, a view of which is prefixed to this 
 notice of the works there printed. The best account of its esta- 
 blishment will be found in the following letter to Dr. Dibdin ; 
 which was originally printed in the Bibliographical Decameron. 
 
 " 13, Grafton-sireet, Bond-street, 
 "May 5,1817. 
 "Dear Sir, 
 
 " I have really little to say regarding the Auchinleck 
 Press : but you are welcome to the following cii-cumstances. Having in 
 the year 181 — (I forget the date at present) resolved to reprint a fac- 
 simile of a black-letter tract in my possession which was considered to 
 be unique, namely, 'The Disputation between John Knox and the 
 Abbot of Crossraguel,' for this purpose, I was constrained to purchase 
 two small fonts of black-letter, and to have punches cut for eighteen or 
 
AUCHINLECK PRESS. 
 
 349 
 
 twenty double letters and contractions. I was thus enlisted and articled 
 into the service; and being infected with the type fever, the fits have 
 periodically returned. In the year 1815, having viewed a portable press 
 invented by Mr. John Ruthven, an ingenious printer in Edinburgh, I 
 purchased one, and commenced compositor. At this period my brother 
 (Mr. James Bosw'ell) having it in contemplation to present ' Barnfleld ' to 
 the Roxburghe Club, and not aware of the poverty and insignificance of 
 my establishment, expressed a wish that his tract should issue from the 
 Auchiuleck Press, I determined to gratify him; and the portable press 
 being too small for general purposes, I exchanged it for one of Mr. 
 Ruthven's iuU-sized ones, and having increased my stock to eight small 
 fonts (roman and italic), with the necessary appurtenances, I placed 
 the whole in a cottage, built originally for another purpose, very plea- 
 santly situated on the bank of a rivulet; and, although concealed from 
 view by the surrounding wood, not a quarter of a mile from my house. 
 
 " By the obliging accommodation of Mr. George Ramsay, one of our 
 most respectable printers, I had the services of an ingenious workman,* 
 who acted both as a compositor and pressman ; and under my inspection 
 I first put forth, ' Dialogus pius et festivus inter Deum (ut ferunt) et 
 Evam,' and, next, 'Dialogus inter Salomon et Marcolphum.' The 
 Roxburghetract of Barnfield next followed; and these were succeeded 
 by 'Poems,' by Churchyard; 'Lodge's Fig for Momus;' 'Remem- 
 brances,' by George Whetstone; and, lastly, two other Poems, by 
 Churchyard. 
 
 " You have thus the birth and infancy of the Auchinleck Press. 
 Whether the establishment may continue dwarfish, or increase in size 
 and vigour, rests in the darkness of futurity. I have, however, felt 
 much gratification in these early efforts; and not the least part of that 
 gratification has been, the opportunity afibrded me, of contributing to 
 the amusement of a number of friends whom I esteem and respect. 
 
 " I am, dear Sir, 
 " Your most obedient humble Servant, 
 
 " Alexander Boswell."

THE BANNATYNE CLUB. 
 
 HIS Club was established in Febraary 1823 j 
 and owes its formation and success, in a great 
 degree, to the exertions of its late President, 
 Sir Walter Scott, Bart. ; and also to Thomas 
 Thomson, Esq., the successor of Sir Walter 
 in that office. It consisted originally of 
 thirty-one members ; but in consequence of the numerous appli- 
 cations for admission by persons of rank and literary distinction, 
 the number was gradually extended, until it was definitively fixed 
 to one hundred members. The annual contribution from each 
 member is five guineas. The Club derives its name from George 
 Bannatyne, memorials of whom have been printed by the Club, 
 whence the following account of himself, and the collection to 
 which he owes his reputation, is taken. 
 
 George Bannatyne was bom on the 22d day of February, 
 1545. To his seclusion from active life during his youth, is 
 
360 
 
 BANNATYNE CLUB. 
 
 owing that rich collection of Scottish poetry which bears his 
 name. He was living in 1606, and was then sixty-one years 
 old: but the period of his death is not precisely known. 
 
 The work called Bannatyne's manuscript, is in a folio form, 
 containing upwards of eight hundred pages, -very neatly and 
 closely written, and designed, as has been supposed, to be sent 
 to the press. The labour of compiling this valuable collection, 
 was undertaken during the time of pestilence, in the year 1568, 
 when the dread of it compelled men to forsake their usual em- 
 ployments. 
 
 In the reigns of James IV. and V., the fine arts, as they 
 awakened in other countries, made some progress in Scotland 
 also. The King of Scotland, who in point of power seems to 
 have been little more than the first baron of his kingdom, held a 
 free and merry court, in which poetry and satire seem to have 
 had imlimited range. The consequence of this general encou- 
 ragement was, the production of much poetry of various kinds, 
 and concerning various persons, which the narrow exertions of 
 the Scottish press could not convey to the public ; or, if printed 
 at all, existed only in limited editions, which soon sunk to the 
 rarity of manuscripts. 
 
 From this ample mine Bannatyne made his compilation, vidth 
 the intent, doubtless, of putting these Lays beyond the reach of 
 oblivion, by subjecting the collection to the press. 
 
 After the death of George Bannatyne, the industrious com- 
 piler, his rpanuscript became the property of his grandson, 
 George Foulis, of Ravelston. William Foulis, of Woodhall (the 
 great-grandson of George Bannatyne) bestowed this monument 
 of his ancestor's taste and labours, upon the Hon. William Car- 
 michael, of Stirling, advocate. Finally, in the year 1772, the 
 liberality of John, third Earl of Hyndford, made the Corpus 
 Poeticum Scotorum public property, by depositing it in the 
 Library of the Faculty of Advocates. It has been recently 
 inlaid, and bound in a splendid manner, in two volumes. 
 
BANNATYNE CLUB. 361 
 
 The object of the institution is to print works illustrative of 
 the liistory, antiquities, and literature of Scotland, either at the 
 expense of the Club, or as contributions from individual mem- 
 bers. The following list of works already printed, will afford the 
 best eulogium on their efforts. The Editor of this list is indebted 
 for the means of rendering it perfect, to the learned and diligent 
 Secretary of the Club, Mr. David Laing, whose thorough acquaint- 
 ance with all matters relating to the literature and antiquities of 
 his native country, is well known.*

 Presented by David Laing, Esq., the secretary of the Club. 
 
 This poem was composed about the middle of the fifteenth century, 
 and was generally supposed to be a satire on King James II. of Scot- 
 land. Of the personal history of the author, no information has been 
 discovered: we are even left in ignorance of his christian name. The 
 surname of Holland is, however, so uncommon in Scotland, as almost 
 to place it beyond suspicion that the author may have been Sir Richard 
 Holland, mentioned in an act of parliament, March 1482, for the appre- 
 hension of the followers of the exiled Earl of Douglas. The text of 
 this ancient allegorical poem is given from Asloane's manuscript, in 
 the Auchinleck library, collated with the copy in George Bannatyne's 
 manuscript; the various readings being inserted in the Appendix. 
 Seventy copies were printed.

LEE PRIORY PRESS. 
 
 HE LEE PRIORY PRESS was estab- 
 ilished by Sir Egerton Brydges, Bart., at 
 Ickham, near Canterbury, the seat of his 
 ieldest son, T. B. Brydges Barrett, Esq. 
 " My private press," says Sir Egerton,* 
 " was established in July 1813, in a vacant room at the extre- 
 mity of the offices. 
 
 " The number of copies of works printed there, has in no case 
 exceeded one hundred; and I have reason to believe that the 
 complete sets fall short of thirty. The rest have been distributed, 
 or sold piece-meal. The first thing printed was, ' Selections 
 from the Poems of Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle;' 
 only twenty-four copies, for gifts. Perhaps the most intrinsically

 valuable of the reprints at this press, is Francis Davison's 
 ' Poetical Rhapsody.' But two poetical tracts of Nich. Breton, 
 and original Poems of W. Browne, from a MS., are also very 
 valuable; and the reprint of Lord Brook's 'Life of Sir Philip 
 Sydney,' is surely also an acceptable present to biography." 
 
 The mansion where this press was established, has long been 
 celebrated as the repository of many treasures of art. Two 
 printers, Johnson* and Warwick, who had become known to 
 Sir Egerton Brydges, in consequence of their long employment 
 in the printing office of Mr. Bensley,' were ambitious of exhibitin^g 
 their skill in splendid typography. Sir Egerton supplied them 
 with a press-room, furnished them with copy, either original or 
 from rare works, and for a considerable time superintended their 
 labours with much assiduity and kindness. Types, paper, and 
 ornaments, were provided at their own expense ; and the result, 
 whether of loss or profit, was at their own risk. In 1818, Sir 
 Egerton Brydges went with his family to reside on the Con- 
 tinent; and the press soon began to languish: for the printers, 
 being then irregularly supplied with copy, could not fail of 
 relaxing in their industry. The flavour of the Kentish hop 
 became perhaps too familiar a consolation for inaction, to one at 
 least, of the worthy typographers ; and the little that was done 
 at the press, was not always so well executed as before. The 
 volume called " Wood-cuts and Verses," is, however, good evi- 
 dence of the justice of a qualification to such censure — or a proof, 
 in spite of Dr. Franklin,, that tippling is not always injurious to 
 the craft of men of type. 
 
 The Lee Press was discontinued in 1823. At the present date, 
 1833, the mansion — with all its elaborateness of Gothic archi- 
 tecture; with all its stores of rare and curious books; with its fine 
 collection of paintings ; with its tastefully laid out park, and 
 
 * Mr. Johnson, editor of a curious work, called " Typographia," claims the 
 merit of having suggested the idea of the press to Sir Egerton Brydges.

 ancient trees ; with its sleepy stream, famed for trout since the 
 days of Walton, and its covers stocked with game, though not 
 forbid to foxes — is silent and deserted. At the park gates is the 
 frigid announcement — " This Mansion and Grounds are to be 
 Let!" All the books, prints, and paintings, that were in this 
 mansion at the death of Mr. Barrett, the late' proprietor, are heir- 
 looms of the house, including many splendid modem volumes, 
 and several cabinet gems ; among which, is the celebrated minia- 
 ture of Anne of Cleves, — "the most exquisitely perfect," says 
 Lord Orford, "of all Holbein's works; and preserved in the 
 ivory box in which it came over, and which represents a rose so 
 delicately carved as to be worthy of the jewel it contains."* 
 
 For this account the Editor is indebted to the kindness of 
 Edward QuUlinan, Esq. ; several of whose elegant compositions 
 will be found among the works printed at the press of Lee 
 Priory. " Occasionally," says the same kind informant, " there 
 were trifles printed which were not circulated. Among them 
 was a little pungent moral of four octosyllabic quatrains, addressed 
 by a very lovely young lady, the daughter of an amiable and 
 venerable bishop, 
 
 'TO HIM WHO WILL BEST UNDERSTAND THEM,' 
 
 a spruce, grey-headed gentleman, whose gallantry was rewarded 
 by this effusion, ending with the flattering proverb, ' A fool at 
 fifty is a fool indeed.' Only two rough proofs, and one copy, 
 were struck off; Sir Egerton Brydges and a friend stood by, to 
 witness'* the whole process, and saw the letters dispersed and 
 restored to their several alphabetical places in the printers' 
 boxes. The single impression was sent to the fair author, and 
 the two rough proofs carried off by Sir Egerton Brydges and his 
 friend." 
 
 • This miniature is now in the curious collection of Francis Douce, Esq. : 
 and many of the most valuable books have been disposed of by auction.

 In the catalogue of the sale of Mr. J. W. Southgate's collection of 
 books printed at the Lee Priory press, June, 1823, it is said that the 
 ■whole of the wood-cuts are deposited at the Priory, and not to be used, 
 unless a press should be again established there. 
 
 In this work, all the wood engravings, and specimens of every type 
 used at the Lee Priory press, are brought under view. An extract from 
 Coleridge's poem on the Nightingale is given, in which are the following 
 lines: — 
 
 " With murmurs musical, and swift, jug, jug, 
 And one low piping sound more sweet than all." 
 
 The last word was printed ale in the proof-sheet. This error was twice 
 corrected by a gentleman in the house ; but the pressman contrived to 
 work it off according to his fancy, "more sweet than ale.'' On a 
 remonstrance being made, poor John Warwick (peace to his soul! — for 
 he is no more of this world) insisted that ale, not all, was the author's 
 word. " Nothing," said he, " can be clearer ; for is there not a jug, a 
 jug, and a piping sound more sweet than ale 1 A song, a pipe, a jug pf 
 ale!" Sorely against his will was the leaf cancelled. One hundred 
 copies were printed of this very elegant volume.

 which were the property of the printer, and done for his exclusive benefit, 
 and at ?m cost and risk, nothing was engaged for by Sir E. Brydges, but 
 the gratuitous labour ' of the editorship, or of the compositions of his 
 own pen. The owner of the mansion, the editor's son, gave the use of 
 the rooms where the press was erected. The only benefit to which the 
 editor looked, beyond that of the printer, was, a benefit to literature, 
 resulting from the reprint of several tracts, at once scarce and curious, 
 which had been, for one or two centuries, buried treasures.'' 
 
 * " Though pecuniary assistance was refused to be engaged for, much 
 gratuitous pecuniary assistance was given." 
 
THE MAITLAND CLUB. 
 
 HE MAITLAND CLUB was instituted on 
 the 31st of March, 1828, by a few gentlemen 
 of Glasgow, for purposes very similar to those 
 of the Bannatyne Club of Edinburgh; and 
 although this Club i^ the last formed of those 
 devoted to literary objects, it bids fair, by the number and im- 
 portance of its publications, to rival either of its predecessors. 
 The number of members was originally limited to fifty: this 
 restriction has not, however, been adhered to ; its present list 
 contains seventy names, of gentlemen of literary acquirements, 
 acquainted with the history and antiquities of their native country. 
 The Earl of Glasgow is President; John Kerr, Esq., Vice- 
 President; Richard Duncan, Esq., Treasurer; and John Smith, 
 youngest, Esq., Secretary. The annual subscription varies from 
 two guineas to five guineas.

 MAITLAND CLUB. 
 
 The Maitland Club derives its name from Sir Richard Maitland, 
 of Lethingtotm, knight ; whose poems have been printed by the 
 Members, and from the memoir prefixed to which, this account of 
 him is chiefly derived. 
 
 The name and family of Maitland are of very high antiquity, 
 and have long been distinguished in the annals of. Scotland. 
 The family is represented by the noble house of Lauderdale, of 
 which Sir Richard Maitland's second son, John, was the immediate 
 founder. 
 
 Richard Maitland was bom in 1496, but the precise date of 
 his birth is not known. He spent some years at the College of 
 St. Andrews, and there completed his education in literature and 
 philosophy. At an early period of his life he lost his father, who 
 was killed at the battle of Flodden, in 1513. After this event, 
 Maitland went to France, where he resided several years, apply- 
 ing himself to the study of the law, a profession to which he 
 seems to have determined to devote bis life. At what time he 
 returned from France has not been discovered; but soon after 
 the accession of James V. he is said to have become a favourite 
 at the court of that monarch. H« was married, about the year 
 1530, to Mary, daughter of Thomas Cranston, of Corsby, a 
 branch of the noble family of Cranston. By this marriage 
 he had a numerous offspring, seven sons and four daughters: 
 of the latter, his daughter Mary was in his advanced age the 
 partner of her father's studies, and his amanuensis in copying 
 the collections of the early Scottish poets, now in the Pepeysian 
 Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge. In the year 1552. 
 he was named one of the commissioners appointed to adjust the 
 differences with England regarding the debateable land on the 
 borders. His exertions on this occasion did not pass unnoticed 
 or unrewarded: on the 30th of August, 1554, he was nominated 
 extraordinary, and on the 13th of November following was 
 admitted Lord of Session, by the title of Lethingtoun. About 
 the year 1561, he had the misfortune to be deprived of his eye-

 sight; but such was the respect for his abilities, that this 
 circumstance did not prevent his being appointed an ordinary 
 Lord of Session. The favour of Queen Mary, or her confidence 
 in his character, induced her to nominate him one of her council, 
 and to confer on him the office of Keeper of the Privy Seal; 
 vrhich situation he resigned in 1567, in favour of his son John. 
 FuU of years and honours, Sir Richard Maitland died, in the 
 ninetieth year of his age, on the 20th of March, 1586. 
 
 The valuable publications which the Maitland Club have 
 printed, wUl be found in the following list; in the compiling of 
 which, the Editor has been greatly assisted by the kindness of 
 John Smith, Esq., the Secretary to the Club. 
 
 A copy of every work that has been printed on the paper of 
 the Club, is deposited with the Secretary, for the Library of the 
 Club; which in addition, contains Manuscripts and Printed 
 Catalogues of Manuscripts in various Public Libraries and 
 Museums in Britain, including that of those in the Hunterian 
 Museum and Library of the University of Glasgow; originals 
 and copies of Ancient Historical Documents relating to Scotland; 
 privately printed Books by Clubs and Individuals, and works of 
 reference in aid of the objects of the Club.

 This work relates to one of the most important and stirring periods 
 in the history of this country, that occurred preceding the dawn of the 
 Reformation. The expedition, of whose proceedings this work is a 
 narrative, was sent over by Henry IL of France, in consequence of the 
 appeal made to him by the party attached to the Catholic religion; it 
 was placed under the command of M. de DessS, an officer of ability, who 
 landed in Scotland in 1548. M. de Beaugu6, the historian of the cam- 
 paign, accompanied him; and his narrative was originally published in 
 Paris, in 1566. A translation was printed by Dr. Abercromby, in 1707. 
 
 Seventy-five copies were printed and two on large paper, one presented 
 to the Editor the other in Mr. Smith's Library.

 This very elegant volume was presented by William Macdowall, Esq, 
 Prefixed is a portrait of Drummond, an oval. A fac-simile of his hand- 
 writing ; page 4. Sixty-eight copies were printed. 
 
 The Editor is indebted to Mr. Leigh Sotheby, for the following 
 account of the early editions of Drummond's Poems ; extracted from his 
 
414 MAITLAND CLUB. 
 
 valuable collection for a history of early poetry, which it is to be hoped 
 will ere long be made public. 
 
 "From a careful examination and collation of three copies of the 
 original editions of the Poems by William Drummond, of Hawthomdenne, 
 in 1616, now in the library of the late Mr. Richard Heber, as also of 
 the copy lately in the possession of Mr. Lloyd, there appears to be no 
 doubt of their having been privately printed by the author, who most 
 probably struck off a very limited number as presents to his friends, as 
 at the present time only seven or eight copies of either editions are 
 known to be extant, and those differing as to their contents ; and are 
 printed on a different size and quality of paper.'' 
 
 The First Edition title being, " Poems : Amorous, FuneraU, Diuine, 
 Fastorall, in Sonnets, Songs, Sextains, Madrigals, By W. D., the 
 Author of the Teares on the Death of MoeUades. Edinburgh, Printed by 
 Andro Hart. 1616." 
 
 Of this, only one copy is extant, which belonged to the late Mr. 
 Richard Heber. 
 
 The Second Impression is identically the same, but with an alteration 
 in the title ; the contents of the volume being omitted in the centre of 
 the same wood-cut border; and merely entitled, "Poems by William 
 Drvmmond of Hawthome-denne. The second impression." Imprint 
 and date as before. 
 
 In the late Mr. Heber's copy, on Thick Paper, " Urania, or Spiritual 
 Poems," consisting of six leaves, are omitted, and replaced by " Forth 
 Feasting, a Panegyrike, &c.," by the same printer, 1617; occupying 
 eight leaves : and this same circumstance occurs in the Author's presen- 
 tation copy, on LARGE PAPER, to the University of Edinburgh ; but in the 
 late Mr. Heber's large paper copy they are omitted, as also "Urania, &c.'' 
 
 Mr. Heber has the following note on the two editions : — 
 
 On a minute and care&l comparison, it appears to me certain that 
 the present edition of Drummond's Poems (which is probably the first 
 in a collected state) is typographiccdh/ the very same with that of the 
 same year, 1616 ; which bears on the title page, " The Second Impression." 
 
 Why this change in the title page was made, does not appear. Perhaps 
 it took place, when the Flowers of Sion and Cypresse Grove were added, 
 in 1623; as all the copies known, bearing on the title "The Second 
 Impression," contain, I believe, this addition.

 interesting specimens of armoiial enrichment in Scotland, and highly deserve

 NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE. 
 
 HE following series of publications was 
 commenced in the year 1817; they were 
 edited by private gentlemen (several of 
 whom afterwards formed themselves into 
 a Typographical Society, not now in exist- 
 ence), and were generally limited in the number of impressions, 
 and in many instances intended only for private distribution. 
 They are all uniformly printed, in crown octavo, on a yellow, laid 
 paper, being the same as that used for the new edition of 
 Dugdale's Monasticon; and form most beautiful specimens of 
 the typographic art, much superior to any before executed at

 NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE. 
 
 Newcastle upon Tyne, or, perhaps, in any other provincial town 
 in the kingdom ; vieing with the productions of the Strawberry 
 HUl Press. They are illustrated by vignettes, containing the 
 aims of the various editors, cut on wood by the celebrated 
 Bewick or his pupils. This list of books is given according to 
 the arrangement of the various subjects on which they treat. 
 
 For the arrangement of this list, as well as the notes descriptive 
 of the contents of the different works, the Editor is much in- 
 debted to John Adamson, Esq., a considerable contributor to 
 the elegant works that have issued from the Newcastle press. 
 
 POETRY. 
 
 Cheviot; a Poetical Fragment. By R. W. 
 
 Newcastle upon Tyne: Printed by S. Hodgson, Union- 
 street. M.DCcc.xvii. pp. 41; Title and Dedication, 
 pp. viii. 
 
 This poem contains notices of the principal places in Northumberland, 
 and of the estimation in which their respective possessors (at the time 
 in which it was written) were held. It is supposed to have been written 
 by R. [Wharton], who resided in Northumberland; and was edited by 
 Mr. Adamson (afterwards known as the author of the " Memoirs of the 
 Life and Writings of Luis de Camoens," and a member of various 
 societies, both British and foreign), ftora the manuscript, in the pos- 
 session of Thomas Davidson, Esq. It had been purchased many years 
 ago, at a book-stall in London, and submitted to Dr. Percy and others, 
 whose notes, with those of the author, are given below the text It is 
 also ornamented with two wood-cuts by Mr. Bewick; the first being in 
 the title of this and other of the publications edited by Mr. Adamson — 
 and the second, the arms of the gentleman to whom it was dedicated, 
 William Burrell, Esq., of Broompark. 
 
 There were only two hundred and twenty-one copies printed, of which 
 many were given away as presents, by the editor. Three copies were 
 printed on white India paper, two on light red paper, and two hun- 
 dred and sixteen on crown paper. , '^

 This poem is written in imitation of " The Marriage of the Tame and 
 Isis," by Drayton, as published in the fifteenth song of the Folyolbion. 
 Its probable date is about the year 1780, and it had not been before 
 published; though the editor had heard, that some copies had once been 
 printed for private distribution. The author is not positively ascer- 
 tained; but report attributes it to two different gentlemen, equally well 
 known in the county of Northumberland. There are two wood en- 
 gravings ; one, in the title-page — the other, the arms of the gentleman 
 to whom it is dedicated, John Davidson, Esq., Clerk of the Peace for 
 Northumberland. 
 
 Two hundred and twenty-five copies were printed; including three on 
 white India paper, and two on light red paper.

 This Tract appears from the title page to have been presented to

 occurred in the reign of one of his predecessors. — Editor's preface.

 The Editor's researches have not enabled him to supply any certain 
 information concerning the author of this curious little work, but he 
 strongly suspects it was written by Ralph Jackson, an attendant upon 
 the Earl. Its merits, however, are considered sufficient to entitle it to a 
 respectful notice among our detached pieces of Biography ; as such, it is 
 now reprinted, from the rare original formerly in the Tempest Library,

MIDDLE HILL PRESS. 
 
 IR THOMAS PHILLIPPS, of Middle Hill, 
 in the county of "Worcester, Bart., stands 
 distinguished, amongst the principal collectors 
 of the present age. For many years past, he 
 has, with extreme liberality, devoted a large 
 portion of his ample means to the purchase of 
 manuscripts. His mansion at Middle Hill is said to contain the 
 largest assemblage of rare and valuable materials possessed by 
 any private individual in the country : of the extent and variety 
 of its contents, a catalogue only could give any adequate idea. 
 Many valuable Greek and Latin MSS., forming the greater 
 portion of the celebrated Meerman collection, enrich the Library. 
 In chartularies of dissolved religious houses, the collection is 
 known to be particularly rich. The genealogical manuscripts are 
 
442 
 
 MIDDLE HILL PRESS. 
 
 numerous, and many volumes in illustration of topographical 
 history will be found to gratify the historian of almost every 
 county. The manuscripts are at present about eight thousand 
 in number. 
 
 Of some portion of its contents a slight catalogue has been 
 printed, in a work entitled, " Catalogi Librorum Manuscrvptorum, 
 qui in Bibliothecis Galliee, Hehetice, Belgii, Britannice M., His- 
 paniee, Lusitanice, asservantur. Nunc primum editi a D. Gustavo 
 Haenel." Lipsise. 1830. 4.to. . The account commences at 
 page 803, extends to page 896, and comprehends nearly 4000 
 volumes ; but it is, with a few inconsiderable variations, a reprint 
 of a Catalogue commenced by Sir Thomas PhUlipps, and hereafter 
 mentioned. , 
 
 The liberal spirit evinced by Sir Thomas PhiHipps on appli- 
 cations to examine any of his MSS., and the readiness with 
 which they are entertained, is well known to the extensive circle 
 of his friends and acquaintance; a' spirit, indeed, which always 
 exists in, and distinguishes, a mind deeply imbued with a love of 
 literature. 
 
 An able and distinguished antiquary, the Rev. J. Hunter, in 
 his Notices of English Monastic Libraries, deservedly eulogizes 
 the spirit and character of the founder of such a collection. " Sir 
 Thomas PhUlipps," he remarks,- " is a gentleman who, with the 
 spirit of a Bodley, a Cotton, or a Harley, and deserving, like 
 those eminent men, the respect and gratitude of his country, has 
 brought together a collection of the manuscripts of the middle 
 ages, such as never before was assembled in private hands." 
 
 At Middle Hill, he has established a press, which was originally 
 placed within a tower called Broadway Tower, but subsequently 
 removed to_ Middle Hill, where he has at various times printed 
 several volumes : on some occasions, however, he has resorted, 
 as suited his convenience, to other presses. The Editor subjoins 
 an account of the works printed at the expense of Sir Thomas 
 PhUlipps, which has been amplified by a reference to such copies 
 
MIDDLE HILL PRESS. 443 
 
 as the Editor was fortunate enough to find deposited, in public 
 libraries, or private hands. 
 
 It must be observed in reference to typographical errors -which 
 may be discovered iii some articles, that they were printed during 
 the absence of Sir Thomas PhiUipps, either from home or from 
 England, a circumstance which prevented his personal revision 
 of the proofs. Those articles without title-pages, are not yet 
 finished.

ROXBURGHE CLUB. 
 
 F the ancient .and noble family of Ker, the 
 first who was advanced to the peerage, was 
 Sir Robert Ker of Cessfurd, who accompanied 
 King James to England : he was created Lord 
 Roxburghe about 1606, and advanced to the 
 dignities of Earl of Roxburghe and Lord Ker 
 of Cessfiird and Cavertoun, in 1616 : he also received from that 
 monarch a grant of the dissolved monastery of Kelso, which had 
 been founded by King David for Cistercian monks. James, the 
 fifth Earl of this family, in the reign of Queen Anne was advanced 
 to the titles of Duke of Roxburghe, Marquess of Beaumont and 
 Cessfiird, and Earl of Kelso by patent, in 1707. His son Robert, 
 the second Duke, was created, in 1722, a peer of Great Britain,- by 
 the title of Earl and Baron Ker of Wakefield: and dying in 1755, 
 left John, third Duke, his successor, who was honoured with the 
 
460 ROXBURGHE CLUB. 
 
 order of the Garter in 1801, and was the distinguished nobleman 
 whose name this Club has adopted, as a compliment to his 
 liberality in collecting such valuable literary treasures. 
 
 His Grace died at his house in St. James's-square, London, 19th 
 March, 1804. The valuable library which he had collected, was 
 dispersed by auction in the year 1812; on which occasion Mr. 
 Evans made his first appearance in the capacity of a book auc- 
 tioneer, and laid the foundation of that reputation which he has ever 
 since so well maintained. The catalogue was compiled by Messrs. 
 George and William Nicol, booksellers to George III.; the 
 elder of whom had been long employed by the Duke in assist- 
 ing him in collecting this valuable library. An excellent 
 analysis of its contents will be found in the preface to the 
 catalogue. The Duke of Roxburghe was an ardent and indefa- 
 tigable book collector ; * and the great pleasure he derived from 
 
 • The two following notes, printed from the originals in the possession of 
 Mr. AVilliam Nicol, evince his ardour and anxiety : — 
 
 " Having slept upon Shakespear, I feel more determined to have the two 
 editions to be sold this day. If I am not present, I desire you will be exces- 
 sively bold. And if I should be present, your courage need not fail you, till 
 you see me turn my back, and walk out of the room."

 " Pray rise early to-morrow. Reed's* sale will be over by a little after 
 2 o'clock. I have seen the Shakespears.

KOXBURGHE CLUB. 461 
 
 the possession of this library, is well shown by a classed cata- 
 logue compiled entirely by himself, in two large folio volumes, now 
 in the possession of Mr. WiUiam Nicol. It contains som? bib- 
 liographical notes, with memoranda for changing the books for 
 better copies as opportunity presented itself. By the kindness of 
 Mr. Nicol, the editor is enabled to subjoin a specimen of his 
 Grace's hand-writing, taken from his own catalogue; and as 
 relating to a volume, remarkable not only for its rarity but for 
 the extraordinary price it produced, it becomes an interesting 
 memorial. It is rather singular that this rare edition of Boccaccio 
 should not have been honoured with a single observation : it 
 appears in the catalogue exactly in the following manner: — 
 
 
 The Duke employed no librarian; but an old and favourite 
 footman, named Archibald Menzies, served him in that capacity. 
 Archie could neither read nor write; but he had become so 
 perfectly familiar with the " head-marks " of the books, that he 
 was enabled to bring his Grace any volume which he required. 
 Archie survived the Duke of Roxburghe but a very few days.* 
 
 * The following inteiestiDg account of Archie's last hours is from the pen of 
 Sir Walter Scott :— . 
 
 " All who were acquainted with this accomplished nobleman [the Duke of 
 
462 
 
 ROXBURGHE CLUB. 
 
 The history of the formation of the Club has been detailed 
 at considerable length by its Vice-President Dr. Dibdin, in his 
 Bibliographical Decameron. His account comprises the following 
 particulars. This society or club took its rise at the house of Mr. 
 BoUand, now one of the Barons of the Exchequer, on the occasion 
 of a dinner given by that gentleman on the 4th of June, 1812, 
 
 Uoxburghe], must remember, that he was not more remarkable for his creating 
 and possessing a most curious and splendid library, than for his acquaintance 
 with the literary treasures it contained. In arranging his books, fetching and 
 replacing the volumes which he wanted, and carrying on all the necessary 
 intercourse which a man of letters holds with his library, it was the Duke's 
 custom to employ, not a secretary or librarian, but a livery-servant called 
 Archie, whom habit had made so perfectly acquainted with the library, that he 
 knew every book, as a shepherd does the individuals of his flock, by what is 
 called head-mark ; and could bring his master whatever volume he wanted, and 
 afford all the mechanical aid the Duke required in his literary researches. To 
 secure the atteudance of Archie, there was a bell hung in his zoom, which 
 was used on no occasion except to call him individually to the Duke's study. 
 His Grace died in St. James's Square, London, in the year 1804. The body 
 was to be conveyed to Scotland, to lie in state at Fleurs, and to be removed 
 from thence to the family burial-place of Bowden. At tliis time Archie, who 
 had been long attacked by a liver-complaint, was in the very last stage : yet he 
 prepared himself to accompany the body of the master whom he had so long 
 and faithfully waited upon. The medical persons assured him he could not 
 survive the journey. It signifited. nothing, he said, whether he died in England 
 or Scotland : he was resolved to assist in rendering the last honours to the kind 
 master from whom he had been inseparable so many years, even if he should 
 expire in the attempt. The poor invalid was permitted to attend the Duke's 
 body to Scotland ; but, when they reached fleurs, he was totally exhausted 
 and obliged to keep his bed, in a' sort of stupor which announced his speedy 
 dissolution. On the morning of the day fixed for removing the dead body of the 
 Duke to the place of burial, the private bell by which he was wont to summon 
 his attendant to his study was rung violently. This might easily happen in 
 the confusion of such a scene ; although the people of the neighbourhood prefer 
 believing that the bell sounded of its own accord. Ring, however, it did j and 
 Archie, roused by the well-known summons, rose up in his bed, and faltered 
 in broken accents, ' Yes, my Lord Duke — yes — I will wait on your Grace 
 instantly ; ' and with these words on his lips, he is said to have fallen back and 
 expired." 
 
ROXBURGHE CLUB. 463 
 
 when the Roxburghe sale formed the subject of discussion. It . 
 was proposed that the party then present should attend on the 
 day of the sale of the Boccaccio, and afterwards meet to comme- 
 morate the disposal of this celebrated volume. The party accord- 
 ingly met on the 17th of June ; and their number was increased 
 by the accession of Earl Spencer, the present Duke of Sutherland 
 (then Earl Gower), the Earl of Carlisle, and the late Mr. Heber. 
 They amounted in all to eighteen. The dinner took place at 
 the St. Alban's Tavern, St. Alban's Street, which has now 
 disappeared in the improvements caused by Regent Street. 
 Dr. Dibdin claims the honour of being the father of the Club; 
 but which was disputed by the late George Isted, Esq. 
 
 It was proposed at the second meeting of the Club, 17th June, 
 1813, for each member, in turn, according to the order of his 
 name in the alphabet, to fiimish the society with a reprint of 
 some rare old tract or composition — chiefly of poetry ; and Mr. 
 Bolland volunteered to present the first book. Disappointments 
 unexpectedly arose to frustrate Mr, Bolland's intention ; and it 
 was not till the fourth meeting, or the third anniversary, that the 
 society were delighted with a reprint in the black letter of Lord 
 Surrey's poetical version {the first specimen of blank verse in 
 our language) of the Second Book of the ^neid, from the press 
 of Abraham John Valpy, 
 
 The Club consists of thirty-one members. A List of the 
 Members is prefixed to every work printed for the Roxburghe 
 Club ; the name of the possessor being generally distinguished 
 in red ink.

 the splendid library at Blenheim, bequeathed by the Earl of Sunderland, is 
 another, the deficiencies in which the Editor is enabled to indicate by the kindness 
 of the Bev. Vaughan Thomas, who has the care of that collection : and who 
 has furnished him with the following interesting account of this rare volume: — 
 
 " The Blenheim copy of the Valdarfer Boccaccio, 1471, is firm and sound, 
 and in appearance clean and handsome ; which circumstances make it the more 
 to be regretted that it is defective in five leaves ; the fact of this loss has been, 
 upon more than one occasion, brought to the knowledge, and excited the regret, 
 of the bibliographer; the particulars of these losses have not yet been made 
 matters of specific statement. 
 
 " The Blenheim copy wants the last leaf of the Table of Contents, or heads 
 of chapters; this leaf contained the chapters of the Novelle of the Giomata 
 Decima, all of which heads of chapters are wanting but the three first lines, 
 from Finisce la/nona, to cUchuna cosa. ^ 
 
 " The next loss is of the Proemio, with the exception of the last three lines, 
 from di noia non crede, to ahrpiaceri. This and the preceding deficit amount 
 to the loss of two successive leaves. The whole of these missing leaves were not 
 covered with letter-press — a considerable portion of the verso of the last leaf 
 having been blank. * 
 
 " The next loss is, like the former, of two leaves in succession : this loss occurs 
 in the Giomata Quarta; the missing pages contained about sixteen lines at the 
 end of the Novella I, Tancredi, and about one hundred and forty-four lines of 
 the beginning of Novella II, Frate Alberto. 
 
 "The last loss is of a leaf of the Giomata iJecimo, which contained about 
 twenty-two lines at the end of Novella III, MUridanes, and about fifty-eight 
 lines at the beginning of Novella IV, Messer Gentile de Cwisendi. 
 
 " The Blenheim copy, in respect of the measurement of its leaves, exceeds that 
 of the late Duke of Roxbuighe: its pages are twelve inches and three-eighths 
 long, and eight inches and a half wide; those of the Roxburghe copy, as given 
 by that exact and experienced bibliographer, the Rev. Dr. Dibdin {Biblioth. 
 Spenc. Vol. iv. p. 78), are nearly eleven inches and a half long, including the tap 
 
 * Brunei, as cited by Dr. Dibdin, says, that the Paris copy has a blank 
 fblio between the table of contents and the text of the work : the Roxburghe 
 copy has no such blank leaf — therefore it is not reckoned as a deficit in the 
 Blenheim copy.

 meeting is varied, to suit the convenience of some of the most 
 distinguished members of the Club. * 
 
 and bottom margin, and in width nearly eight inches; so that, in the way of 
 general statement, it may be said, that the pages of the Blenheim Valdarfer are 
 about an inch longer, and about half an inch wider, than the pages of the 
 Roxburghe copy. 
 
 "It may be interesting to the lovers of bibliographical anecdote to add, that 
 the pages of this volume bear incontestable evidence of the interest which the 
 Earl of Sunderland took in the verification of the integrity, or rather of the 
 defectiveness, of this book. With his own hand he inscribed, at the upper and 
 outer corner of each recto page, a series of numbers, for the purpose of reckoning 
 the sum total of the folios present and missing : his Lordship did more ; he 
 inscribed another series of numbers on the very edge of the margin, above the 
 former numbers, pointing out the Novellas of each Giornata; and all with a 
 view to ascertain the real state and condition of the volume. Verifications such 
 as these, taken in hand and carried on by the personal assiduity of a statesman 
 so occupied by public affairs and party feuds as the Earl of Sunderland is 
 known to have been, clearly shew that there was, in his Lordship's judgment, 
 such rarity or curiosity in the volume, as demanded at his hands this dedication 
 of his time and attention : in general, he left such minute examinations to his 
 chaplain and librarian, Dr. Nicholas Clagett, afterwards Bishop of St. David's, 
 or to Mr. Paul Vaillant, his principal agent in the search and purchase of rare 
 books; but this volume, even in those days, had so high a reputation- for 
 extreme rarity, as to have engaged the great collector himself in these trouble- 
 some verifications.*' 
 
 It is rather singular, that this rare volume was not in the catalogue of the 
 library which was made on the death of the Earl of Sunderland, nor in the large 
 catalogue made by Paul Vaillant, now in the library, nor in the catalogue of 
 the books of the fifteenth century, compiled by Dr. Clagett. It is supposed 
 to have Iain unnoticed, until it was discovered some years ago by the tutor of the 
 present Lord Churchill. It has a half-russia binding. 
 
 • The late Mr. Haslewood, an enthusiastic member of the Club, whose 
 library was sold by auction by Mr. Evans, December, 1833, had collected, in 
 one volume, diflFerent circulars, tavern-bills, letters from candidates as Members 
 of the Club, and various other memoranda. The volume contains also a letter 
 , to Mr. Triphook, from the Duke of Marlborough, authorising him to go as far 
 as 1500Z. for the Boccaccio, when it came a second time under the hammer of 
 Mr. Evans, in the sale of the White Knights collection, and was transferred 
 by the purchasers, Messrs. Longman and Co., to Earl Spencer, who has had it 
 elegantly bound, and his Lordship's own arms, and those of its late celebrated 
 possessor, John Duke of Roxburghe, placed on the exterior.

 " It is remarkable," says Sir Walter Scott,* " that the Scottish 
 witchcrafts were not thought suificiently horrible by the editor of this 
 tract, without adding to them the story of a philtre being applied to 
 a cow's hair, instead of that of the young woman for whom it was 
 designed; and telling how the animal came lowing after the sorcerer 
 to his school-room door, like a second Fasiphae ; the original of which 
 charm occurs in the story of Apuleius," The punishment of the boot, 
 mentioned in " Old Mortality, "f was inflicted on this Dr. Fian, in the 
 presence of King James: he was charged with raising the storms 
 the king encountered in his return from Denmark. Shakspeare, in all 
 probability, was acquainted with the sorcerer;^ and Reed, in a note in 
 the " Two Gentlemen of Verona,'' states it as an instrument of torture 
 only used in Scotland. Burnet mentions its having been inflicted upon 
 one Maccael, a preacher, in 1666.

 a panne and a hammer for a show ;' but when he came to a good booty, 
 he would cast his profession in a ditch, and play the padder, and then 
 would away ; and as hee passed through the towne, would crie, ' Ha you 
 any worke for a tinker.' "f

 " In the present Marquis of Stafford's library, at Trentham, there is 
 a thin oblong manuscript, on vellum, containing some of Gower's poems, 
 in Latin, French, and English. By an entry in the first leaf, in the 
 hand-writing and under the signature of Thomas Lord Fairfax, Cromwell's 
 general, an antiquary, and a lover and collector of curious manuscripts, 
 it appears, that this book was presented by the poet Gower, about the 
 year 1400, to Henry the Fourth ; and that it was given by Lord Fairfax 
 to his friend and kinsman, Sir Thomas Gower, Knight and Baronet, in 
 the year 1656."*

 Henry Constable, the author of these sonnets, was B. A. of St. John's 
 CoUege, Cambridge. Some of his sonnets have been printed in Mr. 
 Ellis's specimens, which however he does not think entitle him to be called

 The Essay prefixed to the Mysteries has been reprinted by Mr. Boswell 
 in the Prolegomena to his edition of Shakspeare, who there observes, — 
 " I wiU no longer detain the reader, with any imperfect remarks which I 
 can furnish on the subject of our earliest dramas, from the perusal of the 
 following able disquisition by my friend Mr. Markland, of the Temple, 
 through whose kindness I am permitted to lay it before the public at 
 large. It was originally prefixed as an introduction to a specimen of the 
 Chester Mysteries, which that gentleman printed for private distribution 
 among a select circle of his friends, in a volume remarkable for its typo- 
 graphical elegance, and the beauty of its embeUishments, but deriving a 
 much higher value from the acuteness and skilful research which enabled 
 him to throw so much light on this very curious branch of our early 
 literature, "

 The contribution of the Duke of Devonshire. Reprinted from two rare 
 pieces of early English Poetry from the press of Wynkyn de Worde. 
 
 Dryden has a poem, entitled Sigismonda and Guiscardo, on which Sir 
 Walter Scott* remarks, that this celebrated tale was probably taken by 
 Boccaccio from some ancient chronicle, or traditional legend. It excited 
 great attention among the learned of his time, and was translated into 
 Latin by Leonardo Aretino. In England the story was translated and 
 versified in the octave stanza, by William Walter, a follower of Sir Henry 
 Marney, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. A prose translation is 
 to be found in Painter's Palace of Pleasure ; and the tale being wrought 
 into a tragedy by Robert Wilmot and others, was presented before Queen 
 Elizabeth, at the Inner Temple, in 1568. 
 
 One copy was printed on vellum, which is in the Duke of Devonshire's 
 library at Chatsworth. Not more were printed, the editor believes, on 
 paper than were required for the members of the Club.

 and the origin and etymology of the word Werwolf : the first, dated 
 12th Nov. 1831 ; and the second, 17th March, 1832. These Letters, 
 written in an unassuming style, exhibit considerable learning and 
 ingenuity. The antiquarian reader will find them worthy of his perusal.

 said of him, as Ben Jonson said of the Lord Verulam, that he commanded 
 where he spoke, and has judges angry and pleased at his devotion. A 
 pamphlet, in defence of Bigamy, has been ascribed by Noble to his

 en vain, que le Chancelier Cowper £spousa deux femmes, qui vScurent

488 
 
 STRAWBERRV HILL. 
 
 Mann has thrown additional light upon several of the works which 
 were printed at Strawberry Hill, and the admirable sketch of 
 Horace Walpole, from the pen of the noble editor, Lord Dover, 
 will have gone far, in conjunction with the life by Sir Walter 
 Scott, to have settled the literary claims as well as the private 
 character of this distinguished writer. These letters, as well as 
 those to George Montagu,* decide in a great measure the number 
 of copies printed at this press, and afford other information con- 
 nected with the different works. 
 
 The printing press was established in the year 1767 ; and its 
 first production was the Odes of Gray, with designs from Bentley. 
 In a letter to Sir Horace Mann, August 4, 1757, he says, " In 
 short I am turned printer, and have converted a little cottage 
 here into a printing office. My abbey is a perfect college or 
 academy ; I keep a painter in the house and a printer." The 
 view of the library, prefixed to this account, is from a large 
 drawing in the possession of Sir Alexander Johnstone, who kindly 
 permitted it to be engraved. 
 
 The first printer was William Robinson, who did not long 
 remain in his employment. In a letter to the Rev. Henry Zouch, 
 dated March 1759, Walpole says, " At present my press is at a 
 stop ; my printer, who was a foolish Irishman, and who took 
 himself for a genius, and who grew angry when I thought him 
 
 • The letters to George Montagu, first published in 4to. were conducted 
 through the press by the editor of this work, from the originals in the pos- 
 session of the late Lord Frederick Montagu, brother of his Grace the Duke 
 of Manchester, and for a short period Post-Master-General. So tender was his 
 Lordship of the reputation of those who came under the censure of Walpole, 
 that the editor had great difficulty in persuading him to fill up any of the blanks, 
 even the most harmless, though the parties intended must have been apparent 
 to any one in the slightest degree conversant with the history of those times. 
 In the second edition his Lordship became less fastidious, although too many 
 blanks were still preserved.

 extremely the former and not the least of the latter, has left me, 
 and I have not yet fixed upon another." A very smgular letter 
 from this Irishman to a friend, descriptive of Strawberry Hill 
 and its owner, has been printed in the Letters to Sir Horace 
 Mann.* 
 
 Robinson's successor was Thomas Farmer, whose name appears 
 on the title-page of the " Anecdotes of Painters," in 1762 ; the 
 errors in which edition are attributed to the knavery of his printer 
 (Robinson), who ran away. A man of the name of Prat, appears 
 to have succeeded Farmer, about 1763, and to have remained 
 about two years ; as he is said, by a note in Kirgate's writing, 
 to have printed the Poems of Lady Temple, and the Memoirs of 
 Lord Herbert. 
 
 Thomas Kirgate succeeded Prat, and remained in the em- 
 ployment of Horace Walpole untU the press was abolished.f A 
 view of the printing ofiice has been engraved in Dr. Dibdin's 
 Bibliographical Decameron, who describes Kirgate as utterly 
 destitute of all typographical enthusiasm. Kirgate died in 1816, 
 and a sale of his books, including the productions of the Straw- 
 berry HUl press, occurred in December of the same year. 
 
 The following catalogue has been compiled from various 
 sources; viz. from Mr. Baker's privately printed catalogue of 
 Strawberry Hill books ; J from the collection in the library of 
 Grosvenor Charles Bedford, Esq. ; and of Sir Alexander John- 
 stone, who possesses duplicates of a considerable number of 
 these productions, all uncut, many of them in sheets, tied up in 
 
 * Vol. iii. page 236. 
 
 t The printing-oflBce, on the death of Lord Orford, was converted by Mrs. 
 Damei into her modelling-room. Kirgate was considered by his noble employer 
 as the only honest printer he ever had. For this, and some other information, 
 the Editor is indebted to the kindness of Miss Berry, the accomplished editor 
 of the Works of the Earl of Orford, in five volumes, 4to., published in 1798.

 separate packets, with the contents marked in the hand- writing of 
 the Earl of Orford. Sir Alexander Johnstone acquired them from 
 Mrs. Damer, to whom he was related by marriage ; and lastly, 
 the Editor is indebted to Robert P. Cruden, Esq., of Gravesend, 
 who possesses the most curious and most perfect collection of 
 the productions of the Strawberry HiU press, and who has kindly 
 afforded him every assistance in rendering this catalogue more 
 complete than it would otherwise have been.

 In a letter to Sir Horace Mann, Lord Orford says, — " The Stationers' 
 Company, that is, Mr. Dodsley, Mr. Tonson, &c. are summoned to meet 
 here on Sunday night. And with what do you think we open? Cedete, 
 Romani invperatores — with nothing but Grai Carmma. I found him in 
 town last week : he had brought his two Odes to be printed. I snatched 
 them out of Dodsley's hands, and they are to be the first fruits of my 
 press. An editiou of Hentzner's, with a version by Mr. Bentley and a 
 little preface of mine, were prepared, but are to wait." 
 
 Again he says, — " I send you two copies of a very honourable opening 
 of my press — two amazing Odes of Mr. Gray — they are Greek, they are 
 Pindaric, they are sublime, consequently I fear a little obscure ; the 
 second particularly, by the confinement of the measure, and the nature of 
 prophetic vision, is mysterious ; I could not persuade him to add more 
 notes." 
 
 Of the Odes, one thousand copies were printed.

 Walpole considerably ; for in a letter to Gray he says, " Novf to my 
 distress — You must have seen an advertisement, perhaps the book itself, 
 the villanous book itself, that has been published to defend me against 
 the Critical Re\'iew. I have been childishly unhappy about it." He 
 supposed it to have been written by " that puppy, Doctor Hill," of whom 
 he says he could pardon his abuse, but not his friendship. 
 
 Lord Dover calls this work his masterpiece in this line. " ' It is very 
 true,' as Sir Walter Scott observesj ' that it would be diflScult, by any 
 process or principle of subdivision, to select a list of so many plebeian 
 authors, containing so very few whose genius was worthy of commemo- 
 ration.' But this very circumstance renders the merit of Walpole the 
 greater, in having, out of such materials, composed a work, which must 
 be read with amusement and interest, as long as liveliness of diction and 
 felicity in anecdote are considered ingredients of amusement in lite- 
 rature."* 
 
 Three hundred copies were printed of the Catalogue, and forty of the 
 Postscript.!

 works. In a letter to Montagu, Horace Walpole says, "I did print 
 about a dozen, and gave them all away so totally, that on searching, I 
 had not reserved one for myself"

 The largest as well as the most beautifully printed volume executed at 
 Strawberry Hill: Walpole gives the following account of it: — 
 
 " I am just undertaking an edition of Lucan, my friend Mr. Bentley 
 having in his possession his father's notes and emendations on the first 
 seven books. Perhaps a partiality for the original author concurs a 
 little with this circumstance of the notes, to make me fond of printing at 
 Strawberry Hill the works of a man, who alone, of all the classics, was 
 thought to breathe too brave and honest a spirit for the perusal of the 
 Dauphin and the French. I don't think that a good or bad taste in 
 poetry is of so serious a nature, that I should be afraid of owning too, 
 that, with that great Comeille, and with that, perhaps, mo judge Heinsius, 
 I prefer Lucan to Virgil. To speak fairly, I prefer great sense, to poetry 
 with little sense. There are hemistichs in Lucan that go to one's soul 
 and one's heart: for a mere epic poem, a fabulous tissue of uninterest- 
 ing battles that don't teach one even to fight, I know nothing more 
 
 tedious."* 
 
 Mr. Chalmers says that Bentley had the profit arising from the sale of 
 
 this work, amounting. to fifty pounds, f 
 
 " Although it bears Bentley's name, it was not completed by him. 
 Mr. Richard Cumberland, his grandson, was the person to whom we are 
 indebted for the superintendence of its publication. Whatever be its 
 external attractions on the score of printing and paper, its intrinsic value 
 is literally nothing. ' It would have made Bentley mad (writes a friend 
 and very competent judge) if he could have thought his grandson would 
 have ever put forth so despicable a performance.' " J 
 
 Five hundred copies were printed.

 " For the faults of impression, they were owing to the knavery of a

 " I will tell you the history. I found it a year ago at Lady 
 Hertford's, to whom Lady Powis had lent it. I took it up, and soon 
 threw it down again, as the dullest thing I ever saw. She persuaded 
 me to take it home. My Lady Waldegrave was here in all her grief; 
 Gray and I read to amuse her. We could not get on for "laughing and 
 screaming. I begged to have it to print: Lord Powis, seoriMe of the 
 extravagance, refused — I insisted — he'persisted. I told my Lady Hert- 
 ford, it was no matter, I would print it, I was determined. I' sat down 
 and wrote a flattering dedication lo Lord Powis, which I knew he Would 
 swaEow i he did, and gave up his ancestor. • But this was not enough ; 
 I' was resolved the world should not think I admired it seriously, though 
 there are several fine passages in it, and good sense too. I drew up an

 Walpole; though from the nature of its subject, and the sternness of its 
 character, it is never likely to compete in popularity with many of his 
 other writings. The story is too horrible almost for tragedy. In this 
 tragedy the dreadful interest is well sustained throughout, the inarch of 
 the blank verse is grand and imposing, and some of the scenes are 
 worked up with a vigour and ?. pathos wliich render it one of the most 
 powerful dramatic efforts of which our language can boast." • 
 
 " This dramatic piece, was prmted by our author at Strawberry, and 
 distributed among his particular friends, but with strict injunctions that 
 it should never be shown to Mr. Garrick or Dr. Samuel Johnson. Mr. 
 Walpole could by no means stoop to the former, who had preferred Agis 
 to Douglas ; and of the latter, he should seem to have encouraged the 
 most unreasonable apprehensions." From an article by George Steevens, 
 intended for the Biographia Dramatics, but cancelled at Lord Orford's 
 request, f

 In Sir Alexander Johnstone's collection of books printed at Strawberry 
 Hill, formerly belonging to Mrs. Darner, was a title-page for this work 
 printed in three colours, black, blue, and red. X Mr. Grosvenor Bedford, 
 who has a very valuable collection of the books printed at this press, 
 presented to his father by Horace Walpole, to which the Editor has had 
 very liberal access, possesses a richly illustrated copy of this work, which 
 also contains the title-page printed in three colours. Two hundred copies 
 were printed. 
 
 An illustrated copy of this work, containing upwards of three hundred 
 drawings and prints, which Kirgate had been fourteen years in collecting, 
 was raffled for on the 3d of June, 1801, for his benefit, and won by the 
 Hon. Horatio Walpole. Mr. Cruden possesses the printed particulars of 
 this raffle, from whence the Editor derives this information.

 " I believe M'Pherson's success with Ossian, was more the ruin of 
 Chatterton than I. Two years passed between my doubting the authen- 
 ticity of Rowley's Poems and his death. I never knew hp had been in 
 London till some time after he had undone and poisoned himself there. 
 The poems he sent me were transcripts in his own hand, and even in that 
 circumstance he told a lie : he said he had them from the very person at 
 Bristol to whom he had given them. I think poor Chatterton was an 
 astonishing genius — but I cannot think that Rowley foresaw metres that 
 were invented long after he was dead."t 
 
 Lord Dover and Sir Walter Scott have successfully vindicated Horace 
 Walpole from " the periodicals of the day, and the tribe of those ' who 
 daily scribble for their daily bread,' and for whom Walpole had, perhaps 
 unwisely, frequently expressed his contempt." " Walpole's sole crime,'' 
 says Scott, " lies in not patronizing at once a young man, who only 
 appeared before him in the character of a very inartificial impostor, though 
 he afterwards proved himself a gigantic one.''

 The difficulty of giving an accurate collation of this work, increases on 
 the examination of fresh copies. Sixteen have passed through the hands 
 of the Editor, as already described; in addition, there is a copy in 
 Cathedral Library at York; one in the library of Miss Currer, formerly 
 Sir Mark Masterman Sykes's ; this copy is said to possess the rare portrait,* 
 which must have been added subsequently, as it was not there at the sale 
 of his library ; and another at Holkham.f These the Editor has not seen. 
 Two copies in the library of Christ Church, at Oxford, which escaped 
 his notice, when in search of the work in the different libraries at that 
 university, owing to their not being inserted in the catalogue, were 
 pdinted out to him by Dr. Cotton ; and, by the kind permission of the 
 Dean of Christ Church, he has had an opportunity of collating them'. 
 These will make twenty-one % known copies of this rare volume, the 
 exact number Dr. Drake examined, when he was preparing his new 
 edition. 
 
 The two copies in Christ Church were formerly the property of Mr. 
 Baker, the " Socius ejectus" of St. John's College, Cambridge; they both 
 present a variation from all the other copies. The copy, with this note, 
 " Ex dono Joannis Colbatch TheologiEe practicae professoris," contains, in 
 the " Hsec Monumenta," after the catch-word, M. Bedel, on page 24, a 
 leaf, commencing, " M. Bedel et Pierson taxatores," and ending, " Can- 
 tabridgia:" this leaf is generally deficient; although the catch-word 
 indicates it as wanting, and Drake has reprinted it in this manner. 
 It contains the Life of Parker, and is altogether a very complete 
 
 • The copy in the Bodleian Library does not possess Hogenberg's portrait of 
 Parker.

 copy, in beautiful condition, bound in rassia, and containing numerous 
 manuscript notes, written in a very beautiful hand. The arms of Peter 
 House and Cambridge, are wrong ; the enumeration of the abbots and 
 bishops, at page 95 of the life of Augustine, at full length. 
 
 The other copy, formerly belonging to Sir Christopher Hatton, and 
 said to have been bought at the sale of Falconbridge's library, is by no 
 means so complete as the other ; but it contains, in the life of Parker, 
 the following singular variation ; page 19 of the life of the Archbishop, in 
 all the other copies, is printed but on one side, and only on half the page. 
 This copy contains the apparent deficient matter, three leaves not paged, 
 the first, the half filled page 19, and two other leaves besides; and then 
 follows, as has been the case in the copies containing the life, page 20, 
 commencing, " Jam de interiori," &c. In Dr. Drake's edition of this 
 work, he has re-printed this matter ; it begins at the fourteenth line from 
 the top of page 553 of his edition, with the words, " Tum duodecimo 
 Aprilis," and ending, at page 588, " in hoc observantur." 
 
 This copy, in all probability, is the only one that contains these leaves ; 
 the copies in the libraries at Cambridge do not contain them, nor do those 
 in the Bodleian, the British Museum, nor that in the library of Earl 
 Spencer. 
 
 In the two copies in the British Museum, on the leaf with the catch- 
 word, M. Bedel, in heec omnia Monumenta, at line 17, from the top, 
 these words have been re-printed, and pasted over others, " Nicholaus 
 Catelowe sive Cantelepus." The two copies in the Bodleian Library 
 have not this castration ; and the words stand thus : 
 
 " Hugonis de Catilupo Archidiacono Glouemiae," 
 
 The correction would appear to be, therefore, the substitution of 
 Nicholaus for Hugo. One of the copies in the Bodleian has the leaf, 
 following the catch-word M. Bedel, commencing, " M. Bedel and Peerson 
 Taxatores." The other copy wants this leaf.

 Case of the Barony of Lisle. 1790. 
 
 This case, which, with the introduction, consists of seventeen folio pages, 
 was drawn up by Hume Campbell, Esq. . Its object was to shew that the 
 Barony of Lisle was a Baroiiy by tenure, and resting that assertion upon 
 the recitals in certain letters patent, granted in the 22d of King Henry VI. 
 " declaring that the possessors of the Manor and Lordship of Kingston 
 Lisle, had, by reason of that possession, been Barons and Lords of Lisle ; 
 and by that name had place and seat in Parliament from time imme- 
 morial, and conferring that right to the person who then possessed it. 
 Sir John Talbot, and his heirs and assigns for ever.'' It then proceeds to 
 state, that Sir John Dudley, the heir of Sir John Talbot, in the 29th of 
 King Henry VIII., assigned the said Manor and Lordship to WilUam 
 Hyde, Esq., whose heir in 1749 assigned it to Abraham Atkins, Esq., 
 in whom it was then vested, and being so vested, carried with it a right 
 to the Barony annexed to the possession of the lands. The case was 
 printed for private use only, and it does not appear that Mr. Atkins 
 pursued this object by any formal claim to the Crown. 
 
 In 1824, Sir John Shelley Sidney made a claim, as one of the co- 
 heirs to this dignity, (he being heir-general of the same Sir John Dudley); 
 but, upon the ground of its being a Barony originating by writ, and not by 
 tenure; After a hearing of this case in the House of Lords, it was in 1826, 
 
 "Mesolved, That there did not appear sufficient ground to advise his 
 Majesty to allow the claim of the petitioner." The claim of Sir John 
 Sidney was considered to have failed from the circumstance of his not 
 being able to prove that Warin de Lisle, the ancestor of Sir John Dudley, 
 although summoned, from the 43d of Edward III. to the 6th of Richard 
 II., ever sat in Parliament — a sitting consequent upon a writ being a 
 point indispensably necessary to be proved, by the records of parlia- 
 ment, according to the rules laid down and rigidly observed by the House.

 ADDENDA. 
 
 One or two articles relating to claims of Peerage have been noticed 
 in this work, but the editor is well aware, that very many of value and 
 interest upon that subject are omitted, an account of which would have 
 been a very desirable addition to his catalogue ; but he found it, until 
 too late, exceedingly difficult to procure any thing like an accurate list 
 or series, of the numerous printed Cases on claims to the various honours 
 of the Peerage : many have been preferred, which have never proceeded 
 beyond the report of his Majesty's Attorney-General, to whom the con- 
 sideration of such petitions is in the first instance referred, though the 
 statements of the cases prepared, and sometimes printed for private use 
 and more convenient reference, are exceedingly curious. In instances 
 where the claims are carried to the House of Lords, most elaborate cases

 the antiquary. 
 
 As there is no inheritance more splendid than the dignity of the 
 Peerage, it is to be lamented that no well digested report of the numerous 
 claims to such honours exists. The law of Dignities has never been 
 discussed in that comprehensive form, which the importance of the sub- 
 ject demands. Few indeed are the reports of cases decided even during 
 the last two centuries. The indefatigable Collins, in his Precedents 
 of Baronies by Writ, supplied many cases, opinions, and judgments. 
 Mr. Cruise, in his Treatise on Dignities, considering how little had been 
 done before, did very much for the subject, wherein will be found a brief 
 systematic artrangement of the law respecting dignities or titles of honour, 
 supported and illustrated by a short statement of cases and claims to 
 Peerages, that have been referred, either to Commissioners or the House 
 of Peers, from the time of Elizabeth. 
 
 The first work which can be called a Report of a claim of Peerage, 
 illustrating the subject with cases, was the admirable report of the 
 Gardner claim, by Denis Le Marchant, Esq., where the point at issue 
 was, the legitimacy of the counter claimant: that work exhibits a 
 curious and learned display of cases elucidatory of the law of legitimacy ; 
 and where a particular and full account of the arguments urged in the 
 Lords' Committees for Privileges, upon the final discussion and decision 
 of the Banbury case in 1813, will be found. This report has been 
 followed by two others, those of the Lisle and Devon Peerage cases, by

 Nicholas H. Nicolas, Esq. : the former involving the question of a writ of 
 summons, and the necessity of proving a sitting under it to constitute a 
 descendihle Peerage — and the latter referring to the construction of the 
 words of limitation in the patent of creation. 
 
 In the library of Lincoln's Inn, there is a collection of printed cases 
 upon this subject, formerly belonging to Sergeant Hill; and in the 
 library of Charles George Young, Esq., York Herald, is a very valuable 
 collection of similar cases, in several folio volumes ; and also an ex- 
 tensive collection, containing the Minutes of Evidence taken before 
 the House of Lords upon the hearing of claims, forming in the whole 
 between thirty and forty folio volumes. Of the value and extent of this 
 collection, the Editor was not until recently aware, and the work had 
 nearly passed the press, when the use of the collection was offered to him. 
 Its extent precluded the practicability of availing himself of it upon this 
 occasion ; but should this work pass to a second edition, he hopes to be 
 able to supplyfrom these sources an interesting and acceptable account of 
 such claims.

 The following additional particulars have been forwarded to the Editor

 " I was acquainted for many years with Charles Dickinson, Esq., of 
 Somersetshire, a gentleman of large fortune and of great accomphshments 
 in literature : he, during a portion of his life, dedicated his leisure hours 
 to auto-printing ; he kept presses and types in his apartments, and com- 
 posed in a leaden style — I mean to say, that the patriotic, ultra-liberal 
 principles which he professed he embodied in excellent poetry, and as 
 Apollo gave him the verse, he printed ; but he wrote not his poem. Mr. 
 Dickinson read his poems to me, portions indeed, for they formed some 
 volumes quarto, of perhaps 800 pages each, in large type, and with 
 margins to receive his corrections. One volume was, I think, a poem 
 with this title, ' India,' the date of printing prior to 1812."

 A Lecture on the Principal Eras in the History of

 This association was a private one, which met at the London Tavern : 
 it is now dissolved. The author of this Lecture, Mr. J. Wilson, gives 
 the following account of it in the advertisement : — 
 
 " Having taken an active part in the formation of a literary society, I 
 was requested by the committee to deliver a Lecture on the History of 
 English Literature. The following pages were written for that purpose, 
 and without any view to further publicity; but being importuned for 
 their loan, and knowing the manuscript to be in no very legible condi- 
 tion, I resolved to print a very limited number for the use of my immediate 
 friends only. An apology is requisite for sending to the press so super- 
 ficial and unfinished an outline of a subject, with which every educated 
 Englishman is supposed to be in some degree acquainted; but the reader 
 will please to bear in mind, that though this Lecture is now printed, it is 
 not presented to the public, nor even to the members of the society to 
 whom it was read, but only to the personal friends of the writer." 
 
 Two other Lectures were also printed by members of this association.

 following verses from the tombstones of different churchyards. Some 
 of the most whimsical, though nearly effaced, are still to be found in the 
 cemetery of a rather considerable town on the high road from London to 
 Bristol, and are, probably, the production of the same goose quill ; but 
 whether wielded by the Sexton, Clerk, or even Parson of the parish, I 
 could not learn : all I discovered upon the subject was, that some of them 
 have been inscribed a good many years ago, apparently enough before 
 the dawn of our present most wonderful poetical era.

 A Letter, intended for the Gentleman's Magazine, 
 by the Editor of the Synopsis of the Peerage; in Defence

 Work. [1826]. l2mo. pp. 14. 
 
 By Nicholas Harris Nicolas, Esq. 
 
 From a few lines prefixed, it appears that " the following Let- 
 ter was written immediately after the perusal of Sir Samuel Egerton 
 Brydges' Note, in justification of a statement made in the Synopsis 
 of the Peerage, relative to the Barony of Chandos, and was in- 
 tended for publication in the Gentleman's Magazine. Motives of pru- 
 dence, however, on the part of the amiable Editor of that Miscellany, 
 induced him to decline inserting it ; and it was therefore deemed 
 advisable to print a few copies, lest silence should have been construed 
 into an admission of the justice of the charges of inadvertence or igno- 
 rance, which Sir Egerton Brydges has so confidently urged against those 
 who assert that the dignity in question is extinct." 
 
 Thirty copies of this Tract were printed for private circulation ; but 
 circumstances induced the author to suppress it ; and it is not supposed 
 that more than six copies are in circulation. One was in Mr. Hasle-

 Epitome of the Case on the Claim of the Dillon 
 Family of Proudston, to the Great Chamberlainship of 
 all England. By Sir John Joseph Dillon, Knt. and Baron 
 S.R.E. 
 
 London. 1829. 4fo. pp. 20. 
 
 Notwithstanding the London impress on the title, these pages were 
 printed in Paris, at the press of Didot, sen. Sir John Dillon was also 
 the author of a Memoir upon the same subject; printed for private use, 
 in 1820 (fol. pp. 10), upon the occasion of the claim of Charles Baron 
 Dillon, of the Roman Empire, to the office of Lord Great Chamberlain, 
 presented to the Court of Claims previously to the coronation of King 
 George IV. 
 
 In this argument, it is contended that the judgment of the House of 
 Lords in 1626, which gave that high and distinguished office to the Earl 
 of Lindsey (the ancestor of the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, and the 
 Lady Burrell, afterwards Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, to whom the 
 House awarded it upon their claim in 1781, on the death of Robert Duke 
 of Ancaster) was wrong, and proceeded upon erroneous principles; —

 that, in fact, the office was then vested in the co-heirs of John, fovrteenth 
 Earl of Oxford, and Baron Dillon is now one of the co-heirs. 
 
 That decision has frequently, it appears, been considered a singular 
 one ; and the memoir as well as the case contains a statement, not only 
 curious, but interesting to those who devote their time to genealogical 
 and juridical antiquities. The noble houses of Percy and Murray 
 maintain the same arguments as the Baron Dillon ; the Duchess of 
 Northumberland and the Duchess Dowager of Atholl, were claimants in 
 1781, as co-heirs of the fourteenth Earl of Oxford, so that the House had 
 knowledge of their pretensions before it decided the question. 
 
 The Baron subsequently to the printing of this argument petitioned the 
 Crown, and the consideration of his petition was referred to the Attorney- 
 General,

 by its learned editor, on this size, separate from the Archaelogia, Vol. 
 xxiv., where it first appeared. 
 
 The importance of the work has induced the editor to deviate in tliis 
 instance from his rule of excluding the separate tracts of contributors 
 to different literary and scientific ti-aiisactions — it being usual to allow 
 them a certain number of copies of their communications separate from 
 the transactions themselves. 
 
 Mr. Gage says, in the preface, " St iEthelwold's Benedictional is 
 perhaps the most precious of all the MSS. in the Cavendish collection; 
 and deep are our obligations to the Duke of Devonshire, who, with a 
 fuU sense of its value, and in order to promote the knowledge of Anglo- 
 Saxon art, has had the munificence to allow us the free use of the 
 volume. It contains thirty-two plates, engraved bj' G. F. Storm, an 
 artist of great industry and fideUty in this department of art. Mr. 
 Gage's copy has some of the plates illuminated, in imitation of the 
 original, by the same artist.

 It contains three wood-cuts, of the church, chancel, and gothic school-

 The author is brother to the Bishop of Llandaff. 
 
 "The following coincidence of facts connected with Ofiwell Church, 
 is memorable, and, in domestic annals, interesting. On Sunday, Nov. 
 9th, 1829, the Rev. John Bradford Copleston, Vicar of St. Thomas the 
 Apostle, formerly Rector of this parish, and still Patron, read the 
 morning service here, and his grandson, the Rev. John Gay Copleston, 
 Vicar of Kingsey, Bucks, preached. In the afternoon, his second son, 
 the Rector of the parish, read the prayers; and his eldest son, once also 
 the Rector, then Bishop of Llandafi", preached. Thus three generations, 
 and three successive Rectors, partook in the duty of the same church on 
 the same day.''

 Specimens of Modern Printing Types, cast at the 
 Letter Foundery of Alexander Wilson and Sons, Glasgow. 
 
 M.DCCCXXXIII. 4to. 
 
 This beautiful specimen of the Glasgow Foundery, which has long 
 enjoyed so distinguished a reputation, may certainly claim a place in 
 this work, as it is only circulated amongst the members of the typo- 
 graphic art. The varieties of type displayed in it are numerous and very 
 beautiful ; recollecting well, in our younger days, the miserable appear- 
 ance of the pocket Bible and Prayer Book, scarcely legible, we cannot 
 but be struck by the beauty of the diamond type. No. 3 ; and congratulate 
 our young friends on the happy change they have experienced. In 
 their address to the printers, these ingenious type-founders observe, '• In 
 conformity with ancient, immemorial usage, we have, in Part I. displayed 
 our founts in the Roman garb — the venerable "Quousque tandem;" — but 
 lest it should be supposed that we had chosen the flowing drapery of 
 Rome for the purpose of shading or concealing defects, we have in Part 
 II. shewn off our founts in a dress entirely English. The volume has 
 assumed its present portly aspect, in consequence of our earnest desire 
 to render it useful to the printer as a book of reference, and to facilitate 
 his transactions with the bookseller and author.'' It is gratifying to hear, 
 that such is the demand for the types of Messrs. Wilson and Sons, that 
 they have established a manufactory in Edinburgh.

 Bibliographical Notes on the Book of Jasher. By 
 Thomas Hartwell Home, B.D. 
 
 London : Printed by A. Spottiswoode, New-street 
 Square, m.dccc.xxxiii. 8vo. pp. 11. 
 
 Mr. Home has printed only seventy-five copies of these Notes, for 
 private circulation ; and, although it is interxded that they shall be 
 inserted in the new edition of his very valuable work, the history of this 
 " literary forgery" is sufficiently curious to justify its insertion in this 
 catalogue. The following account of it is given by Rowe Mores, in his 
 Dissertation upon English Typographical Founders and Founderies, 
 published in 1778 : — " In the year 1751, Mr. Hive pubUshed a pretended 
 translation of the Book of Jasher, said to have been made by one Alcuin, 
 of Britain. The account given of the translation is full of glaring 
 absurdities : but of the publication, this we can say, from the information 
 of the only one who is capable of informing us, because the business 
 was a secret between the two. — Mr. Hive, in the night-time, had 
 constantly an Hebrew Bible before him, and cases in his closet. He 
 produced the copy for Jasher, and it was composed in private, and the 
 forms worked off in the night time, in a private press room, by these two, 
 after the men of the printing house had left their work." Jacob lUve, 
 the person here mentioned, was a type-founder and printer, who carried 
 on business in London between the year 1730 and 1763, in which last 
 year he died. Being not perfectly sound in his mind, he produced some 
 strange works. In 1733, he published an Oration, intended to prove 
 the plurality of worlds — and asserting that this earth is hell ; that the 
 souls of men are apostate angels ; and that the fire to punish those 
 confined to this world at the day of judgment, will be immaterial. In 
 November, 1751, he published the Book of Jasher, an account of which 
 was given in the Monthly Review for December in the same year, 
 which is printed in Mr. Home's tract; who says. With this quotation from 
 the Monthly Review, the author would have dismissed the pretended 
 Book of Jasher, had it not come to his knowledge that very many 
 individuals have been induced to purchase the reprint of this forgery, of 
 which the following is the title : —

 torical, explanatory of the text : to which is preiixed, various readings, 
 and a preliminary dissertation, proving the authenticity of the work. 
 Translated into English from the Hebrew, by Flaccus Albinus Alcuinus, 
 of Britain, abbot of Canterbury, who went a pilgrimage into the Holy 
 Land and Persia, where he discovered this volume in the city of Gazna.
