PREFACE
It may perhaps be recollected that, nine years ago, the present
writer published a Bibliographical Account of Early English Litera-
ture, being the earliest experiment of the kind made on anything
approaching to a large and systematic scale. Few persons, and
probably no one of practical experience, were surprised to find
that this work was both incomplete and inaccurate ; and that it was
so was due to causes over which the author had only partial control.
Where a book to be described was not accessible to him personally,
it became necessary to resort to secondary authorities, all more or
less treacherous — (1) transcribers, (2) earlier bibliographical publi-
cations, (3) catalogues. *
Even professional copyists are naturally not infallible, and the
mistakes arising from the necessity for employing them were both
numerous and grave ; but it was not in every case practicable to
secure the services of such persons, and the help of amateurs was
thankfully accepted.
Of my predecessors in the same field of work it becomes me at
the same time to speak both respectfully and indulgently, and I
shall confine myself to the general remark that Sir Egerton Brydges,
Joseph Haslewood, the editor of the Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica, and
other men of that period, as well as some of their followers, do not
seem to have regarded it as urgent or imperative to transfer to their
own pages the particulars of the books which they describe with that
literal exactitude which belongs to my plan. The consequence is.
vi PREFACE.
that where I was led (from no choice of my own) to adopt the
titles and collations ready-done (as it seemed) to my hand else-
where, it has proved no economy of labour in the long run, as the
whole ground has had to be traversed again, and the articles to be
rewritten with the volumes themselves before me.^
Since 1867 no undescribed, or misdescribed, book of my class
has come within my reach — I might almost say, has come into the
market — without being examined and catalogued, and in this way
thousands of books and tracts have passed under my personal
scrutiny. In the course of these years much has been added to our
knowledge, as well of works, as of editions of works, not previously
traced or recognised. My individual researches, which have been
almost incessant, have resulted in the verification of many points
which were in doubt, and in the discovery of much that was
supposed to have perished. Ex pede Herculem — even a damaged
leaf will establish the existence at one time of an impression, per-
haps a large one, of the entire work.
The present is emphatically an intermediate undertaking. There
is no pretence or attempt to furnish, in every case, either the com-
plete works of an author, or all the editions of his works, or every
early English volume not included in the Handbook, The following
pages represent the result of nine years' laborious and steady
gatherings from a variety of quarters, and, as such, are submitted
diffidently to the favour and judgment of the public. These Col-
lectanea, which may be considered as having substantially much
of the value aud interest attached to a descriptive catalogue of
a particular library, have a moral of their own, illustrating the
extraordinary changes which have occurred in literary tastes and
opinions, and showing the prominence which was once given, and
the value once attached, to many hundreds of now forgotten and
neglected authors or subjects.
1 Considerable mischief has been done by persons who. under pretence of fur-
nishing exact copies of old titles in reprints of books and tracts, have departed
from their originals, not only linearly and literally, but verbally. Such is the case
-with nine-tenths of the reproductions of the last and present century, and it is
well that it should l)e generally known.
PREFACE.
For years to come (if he is spared) the author has no intention
of venturing on so gigantic an enterprise as a new edition of the
Handbook of Early English Literature^ and assuredly now such an
attempt would have been altogether premature. It is his wish
and design to avail himself of every addition which may be made
from time to time to our bibliographical stores, and ultimately to
produce an entirely new and remodelled book, which may serve as a
companion to an enlarged Biograpkia Britannica, the latter a scheme
which was entertained by the late Sir Frederic Madden.
The volume now offered to the public is composed partly of
rewritten matter, but chiefly of new. So far as the rewritten matter
is concerned, it cannot be too distinctly stated or understood that,
though it may often appear to repeat what has been already given
with sufficient copiousness of detail, the information has been
drawn from entirely independent sources, or, in other words, from
the books described, instead of being taken unavoidably at second-
hand. Not a single line of the Handbook has been reprinted totidem
verbis, as such a proceeding would have been an unwarranted
encroachment on the rights of the proprietor of that work.
It is understood, I presume, that a bibliographer does not treat it
as part of his duty to draw the line of distinction too nicely between
productions of intrinsic importance and productions whose principal
_ value lies in their curious character and accidental scarcity. But
P" I have occasionally pointed out cases where it seemed that too great
a stress was laid on mere rarity as a recommendation, and I think
that English collectors have still a good deal to learn in this direc-
tion ; nor would a Manual, not to be like Dibdin's Library Com-
panion, but to be formed somewhat on the same plan, be ill-timed.
A Key to the choice of Early English Literature, which should give
sound and independent advice, and assist in dissipating the costly
illusion that everything in the similitude of an old book is valuable,
I might prove indeed what the Library Companion purported to be,
"the young man's guide, and the old man's comfort."
——
viii PREFACE.
that of the major part of our present race of collectors ; aud I like
to look forward to the time when buyers or fanciers of such things
will cultivate what is old, not because it is old and uncommon, but
in spite of its antiquity and uncommonness. The aggregation of
miscellaneous assemblages of literary gewgaws or emptinesses by
undiscerning persons is surely a very unsatisfactory spectacle. Buy
books if you love books ; buy them if you are a student — if you are
a reader; but, in the name of reason, do not buy them simply
because your neighbour does. That is one of the least wise forms
which flattery can take. The foundation and possession of a good,
or even a fine library, rank among the most delightful incidents of
cultivated life, and even some scholars (take Heinsius, Selden,
Burton, formerly, or in our own day, Buckle) have condescended
to become book-hunters. But above every one we have to place
the all-accomplished Heber, to whose enormous attainments Dibdin
has borne some testimony in a well-known passage of the Literary
Reminiscences. He was indeed
"velut inter ignes luna minores."
Perhaps Brunet goes a little too far in underrating the importance
of articles, but it is the better and safer extreme ; and it may be taken
as a very good basis of operations by intending collectors or budding
bibliomaniacs, that the majority of old books, like the majority of old
pictures, and (in short) old everything, are comparatively worthless
in a pecuniary point of view, while those which maintain their
rank in the market have frequently nothing to justify the prices
which they realise but the single circumstance that very few per-
sons formerly thought them worthy of preservation. In fact, there
are thousands of old English books which bear a disagreeable
resemblance, in the writer's estimation, to waste-paper, and among
these are the most costly and the most highly-prized treasures of
collections in our day.
That there are exceptions, it is true. Some of the works of
Spenser, Shakespeare, Daniel, Drayton, Bacon, exist for us in one
or two copies, of which the worth is not capable of measurement
PREFACE. IX
by any commonplace standard ; but these are pieces of literature,
not briC'd-brac, like the effusions of Nicholas Breton and certain
other pamphleteers, from whom a few casual allusions, rendered
interesting by circumstances or time, are all the purchaser gets
in return for what would yield a small annuity. After all said,
however, the -five or six thousand articles which are comprised within
the present volume belong to what was once a current and accepted
literature — a literature which fulfilled a certain share in the im-
portant duty of instructing our ancestors and amusing them ; and
surely a faithful record and full descriptive account of such a body
of material cannot be treated as superfluous.
Old English books may be classed under three heads — (1)
Direct importance ; (2) indirect or collateral importance ; (3) biblio-
graphical curiosity. Of these it may be said that only the first
and second categories repay the attention of literary inquirers ;
and even as regards works of which the value consists in some
feature not immediately connected with the writer, the interest is
often so languid or so fractional, that it is apt to be exhausted in
some judicious essay or in a descriptive catalogue. Articles which
fall within the third and remaining section — bibliographical curiosi-
ties— are to be treated rather as cabinet specimens than as books, and
are worth — what they fetch. They are liable to great fluctuations
in their marketable worth, for the simple reason that their worth is
as uncertain as an unknown quantity in equations.
The counsel which should be tendered to the forthcoming race
of bibliophilists by some new Dibdin might with advantage, perhaps,
be grounded on the principle of keeping in sight, in the formation
of a library, the literary or intrinsic, in preference to the com-
mercial or casual, qualities of the material employed, so to speak, in
its construction. Curiosities rise and fall with the caprices of taste
and fashion ; but standard books never vary.
An eminent collector, who buys rare and dear books, not because
they are rare and dear, but notwithstanding their rarity and clearness,
has remarked to the writer that the best books, for the most part.
PREFACE.
are the commonest, and this observation holds true, saving a few
isolated and exceptional cases, of the literature which possesses
the highest claim to our attention — the literature which is intrin-
sically and directly important — important, not from associations
which happen to have grown up round it, but in itself and for its
own sake.
Bookbinding is indirectly connected with bibliography, in so far
as it exerts so vast an influence over the selling value of copies.
But it rather belongs to the Fine Arts than to literature proper,
and it is a subject which I have rarely approached. Old English
books with early decorated bindings of conspicuous beauty are, in
point of fact, of such rare occurrence, that a descriptive account of
all known examples would fall far short of filling a volume like
that of Libri. Perhaps it is virtually nothing to the purpose that
bibliopegy is treated by severely practical book-fanciers as the mere
upholstery of the question.
A folio MS. in the library of Mr Henry Huth includes among
its multifarious contents a catalogue of old plays, which becomes of
curiosity, as it seems to supply the earliest record of the formation
of a dramatic collection in England. It is to be presumed that
the owner of it was Henry Oxenden of Barham, and it comprised
one hundred and twenty-one separate pieces, bound in six volumes.
Among them may be recognised some of the most extraordinary
rarities in our language, such as Udall's Ralph Roister Doister^ the
Hamlet of 1603, The Tide tarrieth no Man, Marlowe's Dido, and
others, which are entitled from their scarcity to rank as MSS. The
list is printed entire in Mr Huth's forthcoming Catalogue.
In conclusion, I have extreme pleasure in recognising the assist-
ance which has been rendered to me in the course of my nine years'
additional labours by several friends, who allowed me to enrich
myself at the expense of their information or stores to an extent
beyond any claim I had on their kindness. I beg to mention
especially my obligations to Mr Henry Huth ; Mr Henry Bradshaw,
who manifested the warmest interest in my imperfect labours, and

opened to me freely the too-little-known stores of the Cambridge
University Library ; the Rev. H. 0. Coxe, Bodley's Librarian ; Mr
Furnival, who sent me memoranda of everything he considered
likely to be serviceable ; Mr Henry Pyne, who afforded me constant
access to his valuable collections, as well as the benefit of his still
more valuable knowledge ; Mr George Bullen, who greatly facili-
tated my supplementary researches at the British Museum ; Mr
Sketchley, with whose kind co-operation I supplied certain im-
portant deficiencies in my original work from the treasures of the
Dyce Collection at South Kensington ; and the Right Honourable
the Earl Spencer (through the good offices of the Hon. and Rev.
F. J. Ponsonby, Rector of Brington), by whose liberality I have
been again enabled to profit, as was the case in 1867. Dr Ingleby
nlso supplied me with the titles and collations of some curious
books in his possession.
Nor must I omit to record my gratitude to those well-known
firms of auctioneers, Messrs Sotheby, Wilkinson, & Hodge, and
Messrs Puttick k Simpson ; and to Mr Pearson, Mr Ellis, Mr
Pickering, Mr Quaritch, Messrs Nattali & Bond, and other eminent
booksellers, for the facilities which they always afforded to me in
the course of my researches.

There were two issues of this volume in
1618, varying in the preliminaries only,
wliich were set up twice, and are arranged
differently. As the device of Andro Hart

whole volume was not really printed by
him, and whether Finlason did more than
attach his name to certain copies.
It may be added that the catchword JVo,

the first word on any of the subsequent

been suppressed.

Earl of Montgomery, Munday promises the

ment which was not fulfilled. The third

BARNFIELD, RICHARD.
I am so far ignorant on what ground some
of our earlier bibliographers speak of edi-
tions of the Affectionate Shepherd in 1595
and (with the Cynthia) in 1596. If such
editions ever appeared, the owners of them
have so far concealed their resting-place with
complete success. I am not aware of any
public or private library which possesses the
Affectionate Shepherd otherwise than in the
40 of 1594, or the Cynthia otherwise than in
the separate octavos of 1595 and 1596.
'Ba.m&e\d''B Affectionate Shepherd vf^.^ dedi-
cated "To the Right Excellent and most
beautiful Lady, the Ladie Penelope Ritch,"
in two 6-line stanzas. The poet subscril
himself : ' ' Your Honours most affectional
and perpetually devoted shepheard, Dapl
nis. " This Lady Rich was the same who ha
children by the Earl of Devonshire, as me^
tioned in the cancelled leaf to Milles's Cat

This little volume is dedicated " To the

subscribes himself: "Your Honours most

Epigrams are a scarce kind of writing, and
evidently seemed to think that his book

was published at sixpence.

The only trace of this edition is a frag-
ment of two leaves, C 1 and C 4, recovered
from the pasteboard or fly-leaves of a book
from abroad. The edition in all probability
made C in fours or 12 leaves, like that of
Copland ; in some places it is more correct
than his. It may belong to the same im-
pression as Mr Collier's fragment, but I
have not been able to compare them. Byd-
dell's impression of this famous old ballad-
poem occasionally supplies, so far as the
fragment goes, a word dropped in Copland's,
but in one place, where the pardoned out-
laws, towards the end, in Copland's edition,
are made to say, "to some bysshop wyl we
wende," the text of 1536 reads, "to.fiom.
streyght wyll we wende."

See the tale 'translated also in Turber-

the jSrst in order. Query, for C. T. should
we not read G. T. ? The two versions
should be compared. The story has also
been translated by Dryden, and dramatised
by Shirley under the title of Honoria and
Mammon.
A Pleasant disport. . . . 1567.
The only copy I have ever seen of this
impression was that formerly in the Brand

the same as that described by Lowndes as
occurring at Dr Farmer's sale in 1798. It
wants the conclusion.
The translator is more likely to have
been ff. Grantham than H. Giff ord.

On the title-])age of the copy here de-
scribed is : "This booke was bought in the
yere of O"^ Lorde god 1555." Unseen by
Herbert, who quotes an entirely different,
and probably later, edition by Wayland,
although the date 1558 given in the Typo-
graphical Antiquities, and copied thence
into Lowndes, 1 believe to be quite suppo-
sititious. Wayland, doubtless, issued the
book frequently between 1554-GO : the pre-
sent was perhaps the earliest impression.

The second portion is dated 1655, and it
seems probable, though a comparison would
be necessary to establish the point, that
this is merely the edition of 1655 with a
new title.

BORDE, ANDREW, M.D.
A Pronostycacyon or an Almanacke for

by Andrewe Boorde of physycke doctor,
an Englisheman of the Universitie of
Oxford©. [This title is over a cut] No
place or printer's name. [1544.] A
broadside. Br. Museum (Bagford).
Harl. MS. 6937. In the British Museum,
as Mr Furnivall informs me by letter, is a
copy of Moulton's Glasse of Helthe with the
title to a copy of Horde's Dietary of^ Helthe
improperly prefixed to it instead of its own,
which is deficient. See an elaborate biblio-
graphy of the Dietary by Mr Furnivall in
his reprint, 1870. Mr Furnivall thinks that
the edition of the Dietary printed by Powell
[Hazlitt, V. Borde, No. 5 {d)] should be
dated 1547 instead of 1567. Thomas Col-
well's edition of 1562 appears to have been
printed without licence, as he was fined on
this account in 1561.
A mery lest of the myher of Abyngton.
W. de Worde, 4°.
The only copy known, and that imperfect,
was bound up with the romance of Ipomy-
don in a volume procured by Dibdin from
Lincoln, and sold to Heber. It was in the
same types as Ipomydon, which was un-
doubtedly printed by De Worde.
The fyrst boke of the introduction of
knowledge. W. Copland, 4*^.
The edition of this remarkable work,
printed by "W. Copland at the Rose Garland^
is supposed to have appeared about 1548 —
at all events, before 1550, as it mentions
Boulogne as still in English possession.
The edition printed by Copland after his
removal to Lothbury may be assigned to
1562-63. Of the edition, if there was one,
by Robert Copland, we have no trace. The
Lothbury edition omits the passage about
Boulogne ; the orthography varies, and the
cuts are different.
Borde, in his Pryncyples of Astronomye,
refers to his Book of Knowledge as then at
Press. The work was licensed to W. Cop-
land in 1562-63 ; but whether this entry
refers to the first impression is a little un-
certain. •
Merie Tales of the Mad Men of Gotai
T. Colwell. 8^.
I only know this from Halliwell's Popi

Mr Furnivall does not trace Borde's hanc
in the Gothamite Tales, ascribed to hii
He thinks that they were written by som«
imitator of Borde's manner, who took ad-i
vantage of the popularity which Borde hac
acquired. The printed editions evidentlj
do not contain all the stories of this kinc
once extant, as some, not there, are pre^
served or referred to in other writers. Sef

Printed from this or another MS. in
Miscellanea Antiqua Anglicana, 1816, of
which series it forms No, 8. Tracts of
the present character are not very plenti-

liar value as containing a lively description
of antient manners, just before (with the
Civil Wars) great changes occurred. It is
possible that these Rules were set down for
one of the Lawson family, into which
Braithwaite married. The signature at the
end has been erased.

This edition differs throughout from the
preceding.
" I have another edition printed 1548,
without the colophon, and the assumed
name of Roderigo Mors, but adding to the
title, ' for some certaine great vyces used
therein.' It omits a few passages, particu-
larly that in the first edition, where the
author speaks of his own personal peril in
the publication."— Haskell's Selected Cen-
turies of Books, 1843, p. 83.
Mr Furnivall points out to me that the
first impression mentions an occurrence on
June 16, 1541-42, and must therefore have
been printed subsequently to that date.
It now appears that there were four, not
three, impressions of this remarkable work,
viz., the first of (1542) printed abroad in
Italic type, and three purporting to have
been printed at Geneva, but really from a
London press, probably that of Scoloker and
Seres, in or after 1547.

The copy of Brooke's Ghost of Richard
the Third, 1614, which Mr Hiith has, was
bought privately by Lilly for five-and-
twenty guineas of a person who had ob-
tained it of a stationer at Hackney for one
shilling, and who brought it to him shortly
after G. Daniel's sale in 1864. The Bodleian
copy wants the two blanks. The other
copy, wanting two printed leaves, is now in
the Britisa Museum. It came to Lilly from
Stourbridge, and till Mr Huth obtained his

The Plowmans Tale is here first printed,
and precedes the Parson's. In the edition
of 1542 it follows it. See Hei-bert's Ames,
J). 557, where, however, the capital error is
committed of supposing this to belong to
the same edition as that dated 1542— a mis-
take into which Herbert could not have
fallen, had he compared the two. Tliis is
the second collected edition.
There can be no question that this was a
trade book, as well as the edition of 1542.

the following colophon : " Imprinted at

An interesting historical volume, con-
taining accounts of the lives and deaths of
Bishop Fisher, Sir T. More, &c. At the
end occur some verses apparently by the
author, and a long Latin poem in Sapphics
by Sebastian Brandt. The copper-plates
described by Watt do not belong to the
volume. Froude, in his History of England,
has translated several pages from this work.
It was written many years before it ap-
peared in type, and has been translated
into other languages.

The Children of the Chapel stript and

Mr Halliwell told me (May 24, 1869)
that, since I had searcli made in the
Bodleian for this tract, said to be among
Bishop Tanner's books, it had been looked
for again in vain, so that it is pretty clear
it is not there now.
Piieriles Confabulatiunculte. . . . 1627.
I only know this from the original title-
page among the Bagford Papers. P>ut it
appears from the inventory of .Tohn Foster
of York's stock, taken in lOlG, that the
book was then already in existence (Davies's
Ywk- Press, p. 300) ; and in fact it is men-
tioned under the title of Pneriks in Nash's
Pappe with an Hatchet (1589), so that the
edition of 1627 was almost certainly a late
rejjriut.

more likely person to have produced it.

authorship of this scarce volume, as Davies
seems to claim it in his Preface, while " a

speaks of the work as his. Perhaps he and
Davies were one and the same. The book
was written before the Restoration. The

that should haue serued at his majesties

Towneley copy wanting the title-page, led
the compiler of the Towneley Catalogue to
enter it under that name, and induced
Lowndes to put Dekker his Device among
that author's works as a separate piece.

his Poemes Lyrick and pastorall, elsewhere
noticed, contains all that he had written
down to this time, judged by himself to
be worth preservation. The volume does
not include the Harmonie of the Churchy
1591, which was never republished, although
the unsold copies were reissued with a new
title-page in 1610.

^^ The translator, in the dedication of the
^B^ First Part to the Earls of Pembroke and
^B Montgomery, reminds them of the friend-
Hf ship which subsisted between the author,
V Henry Stephens, and their uncle, Sir Philip
^fr Sidney. The dedication of the Second Part
^H is still more interesting ; it is "To the
^H Honorable Knight Sir K.obert Rich and to
^" the worthy Gentleman master Henry Eich
his Brother : Sonnes to the Right Honor-
Iable the Lord Rich." R. C. here says :
*'The worke you may iustly challenge at
my hands by a double right. First, in that
it was begun at my Honourable good Lord
your Fathers house in Essex : where being
destitute of other books, and knowing not
how to passe those long nights with better
recreation : at your intreatie together with
my entire friend monsieur Beaufort (then
your Schoolmaster for the French tongue,
and now Doctor of Physick in Basil) I lirst
vndertooke the Worke : beginning (as you
know usteron proteron omneikos, with the
Second part in the First place." It further
appears that chapter 36 was translated by
Sir Robert Rich himself, and afterwards
very slightly revised by R. C.
Mr Caldecott was, it is believed, the first
person who drew attention to the proba-
bility that in some of his later productions
Shakesi)eare made use of this volume.

to be regretted that so valuable an as-

described ; but the Bibliotheca Grenvilliana
is little better than a bookseller's catalogue,
supplemented by the owner's MS. notes,

FISH, SIMON.
A Supplicacyon for the Beggers. . . .
There can be no doubt that Fish wrote
this ; it is expressly ascribed to him in a
tract printed in 1555.
The Supplication of the poore Commons is
by Robert Crowley.
In Bibl. Heber., Part 2, No. 5795, and in
the Br. Museum, a copy of the Supplication
of the poor Commons occurs, with the
other tract adjoined, and "compyled by
Symon Fyshe " added ; which leaves little
doubt on the subject, and shows that there
was more than one issue sine ulld notd of
the two pieces together. Heber had also

A copy now before me (a different one

verses, and two portraits of Cromwell, the
portraits probably insertions.
But the copies of this and Fisher's other
books constantly vary in the contents and
arrangement ; and they are so unimportant,
that it is scarcely worth while to enter into
further particulars.

marked B.) of Latin inscriptions. On the
other hand, at the end 4 leaves of addi-
tional epitaphs, including one on Sir John
Davies the poet ; these leaves are on un-
usually thick paper. The original contents
have been reprinted in smaller type, and in
an abridged shape, so as to occupy only two
pages, and a leaf of new contents has been
added, announcing in broadside type the
supplementary inscriptions. The epitaph
of a Mrs Constance Thomas, wife of the
Reverend Dr Thomas, D.D., was, it
seems, to have been annexed, but was can-
celled, for it is in the Index, with a pen
struck through it. It is also to be noticed
that in one of the cojjies, in place of the
title and blank leaf with a border facing it,
for the purpose of being filled in according
to circumstances, there are merely 2 leaves
on thick paper, containing a long list of
personages, to whom Fisher pays his re-
spects. In the other copy, tliis list is in
smaller type, and is the final leaf of sign. A.

folio, 38 leaves.
A MS. formerly in the Guilford Collec-
tion. It seems to have been a fair copy
of the drama prepared in 1568 for presen-
tation to Roger, second Lord North of
Kirtling, who succeeded to the title in 1564.
It has on the title the autograph and motto
of that nobleman thus : Dvrvm Pati. 68.
R. North. The text here does not exactly
correspond with either of the quartos (1573
and 1575) ; it may be the precise form and
language of the play, as it was presented in
1566. The printed text of 1575 is, after all,
the best. Gascoigne appears to have signed
the portions, for which he was answerable,
and his autograph is in their places. The
other names seem to be in the hand of the
copyist.
A Hundreth Sundrie Flowfers. ._. . [1573.]
It is to be remarked that this first 4° of
Gascoigne contains some valuable matter
omitted by the author in that of 1575, and
also exhibits a large number of purer read-
ings than its successors. Sec Introduction
to the Roxburghe Library, edit. 1869-70,
where this feature of the so-called spurious
impression is pointed out.
The Posies of George Gascoigne Esquire.
. . . 1575.
One of the titles to this edition is in a
broad woodcut border, with the device in
the lower centre of Time bringing Truth to
light.
The Glasse of Gonemement. . . . 1675.
The dedication to Sir Owen Hopton is
nearly always wanting. Herbert's copy
had it, and that copy seems to have been
purchased for the library at Britwell, in
order to secure the rare leaf. I have seen
10 copies, all apparently complete, but
without it.
The Princelye pleasures at the Courte at
Kenelwoorth. . . . 1576.
This original edition is only known by a
single copy, which ends imperfectly on
sign. Di. Farmer, in 1798. £1. lis. 6d.,
bought by Park, from whose hands it
passed into the Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica,
whence (directly or indirectly) to Mr
Staunton of Longbridge, in whose library,
now transferred to the Midland Institute, it
still remains. It does not seem to have been
registered, and it was unknown to Herbert.
A facsimile of the title is given by Hazlitt.

found in the 4° of 1575 have been removed,
and others of King James' substituted ; but
the remainder of the cut has been left un-

likeness of Gascoigne.

GONDOMAR, COUNT.
See Beaumont's MS. Correspondence in
the Museum ; Weldon's Cou7't of K. James,
1C51 ; Apothegmes of K. James, 1658.
The political and diplomatic correspond-
ence of Gondomar would be surely worthy
of publication in an English dress. It is
said to lie in two repositories, distant from
each other ; but a gentleman, who is inte-
rested in the early relations between Spain
and England, has spoken of undertaking a
translation of the whole.

GROTIUS,
Some portions, as Greenes Ode of the
vanitie of loanton loritings, the Descrij^tion
of Chaucer and Gower, and Theodoras Song,
are in verse. Whoever was the writer, it is
certainly a kighly curious tract. It begins
with these words : — " After I was burdened
with the penning of the Cohler of Canter-
bury " — from which we may infer that it
was within the author's knowledge that
Greene was concerned in the authorship of
that book, first printed in 1590 — a fact, if
true, not otherwise ascertained.

any other prefixes before the Prologue.
Bodleian (Douce) and Britwell (Bright's
copy).
Beauclerc, 1781, No. 3236. Douce s copy
wants title, and Mr Miller's begins with
the Prologue on B, and ends on a 4 in
second alphabet, a leaf of table being all
that is apparently wanting. A perfect
copy should probably have A, 4 leaves :
B— a in eights. The prologue is in stanzas
of 7 lines, and occupies 6 leaves.
The title given above is from Collier's
Extracts from the Stationers' Registers, no
copy with the title having been yet re-
covered. The songs and other poems are
accompanied by the music.
Doctor Cuningham, in some introductory
matter to Hall's Work of Chirurgery, 1565,
refers to this volume as then in the printers
hands ; his address is dated from his house
in Coleman Street, 18th April, 1565. He
says: "This author also hath finished an
other worke inuaying against vice, and
therfore named the court of vertue."

As there is a slight variation in the title
here from the other copy which has just
been noticed, it seems probable that this
portion passed the press twice in 1598. The
difference in the sheet A arose from the
absence of the leaf headed De Suis Satyris,
which is inserted in the other copy after the
second leaf.

See Corser's Collect. I,, i. Dodd, in his

Henry Hawkins, an English Jesuit, and a

supported by the following autograph pre-

fully erased by some one at the time, as if
he knew Herbert not to be the author or

in eights. In verse.
There is slight reason to question that
the authorship of this rare poem is as
fictitious as the place of printing. On the
last page occurs the mark of the London
typographer Hugh Singleton, from whose
press the little volume certainly emanated ;
and it is nearly a settled point that the true
writer was Bishop Bale.
A copy, probably that sold in a volume of
tracts at Heber's sale, is at Britwell. The only
others known are those which Mr Huth has
and the Grenville one. The title may have
been suggested by "The Burying of the
Mass " by which name Roy's satire was
known at the time, and was proscribed in
153L Heber, part 9, No. 2988, in a vol.

of England as having a separate title ; but
it does not occur in the copy here noticed.
Many of the woodcuts, which are fairly

two others in English. Though said in this
copy to be printed by George Tobie, the title
bears Richard Field's Aldine anchor, and in
fact the book was licensed to Field, and
printed by him, certain copies only having

There is a gap in the signatures and pagina-

by the two tracts at the end (which have
new titles) having been printed separately.

Gaveston and Spencer. Now Published
by the Author thereof, according to the
true Originall Copie, and purged from
those foule Errors and Corruptions, where-
with that spurious and surreptitious Poem,
which lately came forth vnder the same
Ty tie, was too much defiled, and deformed.

bert to "His Very Loving Brother, Mr

the Author states that the poem " was con-
ceiued and borne in Queene Elizabeths
time, but grew to more maturitie in King
James's." It is in 7-line stanzas. Of course
the " surreptitious " poem referred to is the
edit, of 1628.

B — I 4 in eights. A poem in 4-line
stanzas.
The only prefix is a ve;'y interesting pre-
face by the publisher, in which he claims
an intimate friendship with the deceased
Poet, and states tliat Hubert gave him the
MS. before he died. He proceeds to say :
' ' Many yeeres sithence he writ a Worke
intituled. The Historie and Raigne of Ed-
ward the second, with his miserable and
cruell death : But the same being by su-
preamest Authoritie forbidden to be printed,

divers other Workes of his excellently well
composed) as a chiefe ornament of his owne
priuate Librarie, till at length, &c," Chap-
man then describes the spurious edition of
1628, which, it seems, spoiled the sale of his
in 1629.

odd little work, consisting of a variety of
information thought, doubtless, to be
entertaining at the time. Hunt, of whom
nothing seems to be known, was astrologi-
cally and mystically inclined. I once met
with a copy of Mathematicall Magick, by
Bp. Wilkins, 1648, 80, in which the name
Nicholas Hunt was written twice — probably
our author.

In one of the copies in Mr Huth's pos-

of the same impression. The copy with
the shield was formerly Herbert's, and that
antiquary's supposition that the Devoute
Boke belongs to the Kalendre of the New
Legend of England, 1516, with which it is
bound up, seems clearly to be a misappre-

LIGHTFOOT, WILLIAM.
The Complaint of England. Wherein it
is clearely prooued that the practises of
Traitrous Papists against the state of this
Realme, and the person of her Maiestie,
are in Diuinitie vnlawfiill, odious in Na-
ture, and ridiculous in pollicie. In the
which they are reprooued of wilfuU blind-
nes, in that they see not the filthines of
the Romish gouernment : and conuinced
of desperate madnesse, in that they feare
not the mischiefe of Spanish inuasion :
The former whereof is exemplified by the
Popes practises both here in England,
and abroad in other countries : the later
by the Spaniards outrages, in liis exactions
raised vpon Nobles, and his tyrannies
executed in the Indies. Lastly the neces-
sitie, equitie, and benefits of the late pro-
ceeding in iustice are set downe ; with a
friendly warning to seditious Papists for
their amendment ; and an effectuall con-
solation to faithfull subiectes for their in-
couragement.

LYDGATE, JOHN.
[A lytell treaty se of the horse, the sheep,

At Sir W. Tite's sale in July 1874, a copy

end of the piece and a gloss, with (presum-
ably) the colophon or mark of the printer,

was occupied by a woodcut on the recto,
repeated on the reverse ; and the poem
commenced on the third page, under a
head-Une, where goose was spelt Goos. The
first signature, however, being aa, it is a
question whether the impression under
notice was not really intended to form part
of some larger volume.

This poem has never been included in any

correctly, under Mass. Reprinted in Mr
Huth's Fugitive Tracts, 1875, 1st Series.

From the dedication to the generality of

Herbert says 24 leaves, but there are 42.
In the library of Caius College, Cam-
bridge (Collett's Cat. p. 17), is a copy of
Nash's Pierce Penniless, wanting the title,
but having L in fours. This may be one
of the impressions to be accounted for.
It is in reference to Nash's printer that
Harvey, in his Pierces Su/>erero(/ation, 1593,
calls Nash "Danter's gentleman." It ap-
pears from Nash's Epistle before his Christ's
Tears, edit. 1594, that his Jack Wilton was
suspected to be an anagram of Wittenberg
— evidently some joke. See Collier's reprint
of Harvey's Neio Letter, 1593, Introd.
Strange Newes. . . . 1592.
The " low-countries " mentioned are the
water-closet. Compare Hazlitt, Art. 3Ier-
curius Lepidus. Mr Pyne notices, in his
MS. Collections, p. 102, a copy of Nash's
Strange Newes, with merely " Printed 1592 "
at the foot of the title, and I have a copy
before me with the date 1593 and the
original title.

third copy is in the Duke of Sutherland's

Old Wives Tale wanting the two last leaves.'
—Note by Mr Heber. ' In 1595 Peele's Old
Wives Tale was printed, having been per-
formed perhaps several years earlier. This
play has been described in the Biograj)hia
Dramatica, and in T. Warton's edition of
Milton's Minor Poems, as a production from
which the great poet seems partly to have
derived the plan and character of Comus ;
and consequently the students of English
poetry are familiar with its name, but with
its name only, as very few of them can have
perused a drama of such excessive rarity.'

The Tale of Narcissus (a translation from
Ovid made several years before,as the author
tells us) begins on M4, after a second title-
page ; it is in 8-line stanzas. As Drayton
published his address to Reynolds in 1627,
it is at least a probability, that the Nar-
cissus had already then made the name of
the writer more or less celebrated in con-
nection with the subject, unless Drayton
saw the translation in MS. The whole
volume is dedicated to Lord Maltravers.

Dedicated by Roy to the Noble Estates
and others of the town of Calais. Im-
perial Library Vie7ina and Longleat.
It appears that 1000 copies were printed
of this little work, and that Roy wrote it,
while a literary acquaintance of his, one
Jerome [Barlow?] of Greenwich, was writ-
ing some rhymes at Roy's suggestion— it is
to be presumed perhaps the satire against
"Wolsey, usually ascribed to Roy himself.
See the introduction by Mr Arber to his
reprint of Tyndale's Testament The Lytle
Treatous itself has been reprinted lately
from the Vienna copy by Adolf e Woltf,
Wien, 1874, 80.

of which the authorship is unknown, except
that the one which is named above, and
which forms a headline on sign. A, there
being no regular title-page, bears every

It has lately appeared to the present
writer that it is not an improbable thing
that the John Elder, who subscribes this
letter to the Right Reverend Robert Stuard,
Bishop of Cathenes, and Priest of Dun-
britain College in Scotland, wsxs the same
pei-son who, under the Latin form of his
name, published in 1521 a History of
Britain. The preface to the letter is dated
from the Parisian Gymnasium, and the
volume may have been a youthful pro-
duction. (Slajor.)
Just towards the conclusion of this tract,
Elder remarks : " I haue also sent your
lordship certaine verses and adages written
with the hande of the Lorde Henry Stuarde
lorde Dernle^', your nephew, which he
wrot this tyme tweluemonth : I beinge with
him then at Temple Newsome in York-
shire." Elder at the same time praises
Dandey's proficiency in his studies, and in
Latin and French, and speaks of his

The unpaged leaves in Mr Huth's copy
between 332-3, being an addition to the
narrative by Sir W. Alexander, appear to
have been inserted from a different and

seeming hiatus in the text and sense occa-
sioned by the catchword Thus at the
bottom of p. 332, with nothing to answer to
it on p. 333 ; but from the note at the
top of 333 it is to be collected that the ori-
ginal MS. was at fault here, and required a
certain amount of editorial assistance. The
catchword in the folio of 1605 is correct,
and therefore Thus may be a mere misprint.

ticular, except that in this title the i>lay

tutes the second Edition, and I even doubt
if the type was reset for the title."

It appears, from the notice to the Reader
prefixed to this very rare prose publication,
which appears to have been Southwell's
first appearance in print, that the work was
not intended for general circulation, but
was written for a particular friend. The
circumstances of the time, however, and
the importunity of several persons, led to a
change of purpose.

4°, in fours, with the title within a broad
engraved border.
This is an imperfect copy of an un de-
scribed edition, varying much from that
republished by Mr Grosart, with the same
imprint, and also undated. This contains
three poems, apparently wanting in the
other impression, namely, "the nativitie
of Christ," " Christ's Childhood," and
"Joseph's Amazement ;" but as two or three
leaves are deficient in various parts, there
may have been others. The orthography
and language differ frequently from the
text supplied by Mr Grosart. In that gen-
tleman's edition the three pieces just re-
ferred to are inserted among the Moionice,
a collection originally printed in 1595.
The edition now noticed should contain
probably, in a complete state, A — M 2 in
fours, or 46 leaves ; but the present copy
wants a leaf in F, one in L, and M 2.
S. Peters Complaint. [Doway.] m.dc.xvi.

In this and the other Doway edition of
1620 some of the poems are inserted under
different titles. Thus the verses called

may be almost conjectured that it was in-

On the 19th Nov. 1607, N. Ling's inte-

Sraethwick, who, however, did not reprint
it. It has been thought (Dyce's Shakes-

aving become also the proprietor of
Shakespeare's play on the subject, was
merely desirous of buying up the right to

At the conclusion of this play Queen Jane
Seymour and Prince Edward are prayed for.
The latter had been born on the 12th Octo-

after. But as Tisdale, the printer of the only
copy known at present, appears to have pro-
duced nothing prior to 1550, there may have
been an earlier edition, or it may have lain
by in MS. Thersites was reprinted by
Joseph Haslewood for the Eoxburghe Club,
with Jack Juggler, 4°, 1820, and again in
Hazlitt's edition of Dodsley.

This title-page (for I have nothing more
of it) differs from that given by Herbert,
p. 770, who does not profess to have seen
the book. However, the present edition,
though bearing the original date 1551,
would appear from the E. R. to have been
printed after 1558. The leaf was probably
taken from a copy of an edition reiisued
about that time, and is inserted in a copy
before me of the Cologne edition of 1568.

VALENTINE AND ORSON.
The edition of this romance, printed by
Copland, was a translation from the French
by Henry "Watson. According to Mr Halh-
well {Popular English Histories, p. 29), Dr
Farmer had a fragment of " a very old edi-
tion probably printed by W. de Worde."
The fragment in the Devonshire collection
is said to have been discovered in the old
library at Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire. There
is a leaf of an edition, apparently in De
Worde's type, among Bagford's Collections.

tels vs a pretty story, wliich may fitly be
ai)plyed to these fellowes [earthworms]. A
Musitian (saith hee) did on a time come to
shew his skill in lassus among a company
of Fishe-men : they all gaue him audience,
to his seeming, with much attention. But
so soone as euer they heard the Market-bell
ring, they ranne all at once, in all haste
from the musicke, euery man to his Market :
one onely, that was hard of hearing, stayes
still behiude and continues a hearer. The
musitian, imagining that the loue of his
Musicke had wonne him this mannes com-
pany, when all the rest had left him, comes
nearer to him, andgiues himsolemne thankes
for that hee had heard him with so good
attention, when all the rest did so rudely
leaue him vpon the ringing of the Market-
bell. 'And hath the Bell rung indeede,'
quoth the deafe man? The Musitian tels
him it had ; whereupon he also flings away
after his fellowes, murmuring that for his
hearkening to a fidler he had like to haue
lost his Market."

occurs a second and smaller one of the hero

used in illustrating the popular romances
of the day, and applied unscrupulously to
a variety of accounts.

question whether there was really any im-

motto and two lines in English.] At
London, Printed by G. Eld, for Francis
Bvrton, and are to be sold at his shop in
Pauls Churchyard at the signe of the
Green-Dragon. 1613. 8°, X in eights,
first two leaves blank, and title on A 3.
The Essays end on T6, and the rest of
the volume is occupied by the Scourge, a
satire, and by a series of Epigrams, many
of which are of autobiographical interest.
This edition does not contain the cut of the
satyr.
Among the Epigrams should be noticed
those addressed to his father and mother,
to his dear friend. Master Thomas Cranley,
to his cousin-german, Mr "William "Wither,
and to his schoolmaster, Master John
Greaves.
Mr J. B. Pulham, to whom the copy be-
fore me belonged, has noted : " This copy
differs from my other three . . . From the
incorrect orthography, which occurs in this
copy, and is amended in the other three, was
not this the first edition ? There are also

have another copy before me of this same

other variations present themselves through-
out, showing it to be a distinct impression.

This ajipears to be the first edition of the
Poem. It was written in the Marshalsea,
to which Wither had been committed for
the publication of his Abuses Stript and
Whipt, 1613 ; and it had the efifect of pro-
curing his release.

barre. 1615. Sm. 8^, H in eights, first

It is difficult to tell which of the impres-
sions was the prior. They are both ad-
dressed by the j)oet " To those Honovred,
Noble, and Right vertuous Friends, my
visitors in the Marshalsey: And, To all
other, my vnknowne Favovrites, who
eyther p[r]iuately or publiquely wished me
well in my imprisonment," yet the running
title or headline is "To the Reader."

paper in the autograph of Lord Strangford,
resjjecting his collateral ancestor Sir John
Smith, ' onely Sonne to Sir Thomas Smith,
Governor of the East India Company, &c.,'
to whom the work is dedicated, and his
descendants.
" At the end is a metrical paraphrase
upon the first eight verses of the twelfth
chapter of Ecclesiastes, of which the follow-
ing is a specimen : —
* Oh, do not thou the [evil] time till then pi
long,
Bat iiiinde him, whilst the silver cord
strong.
Now, whilst the golden ewer uiicras'd is
found,
And at the fountain-head the pitcher sound.
Beftiru the wheel be at the cistern tore,
Or, dust grow earth, as eartii it was before :
And, from the bodies quite dissolved frame,
The soul returns to God, from whence it
came.'

only copy noticed by Lowndes was the one

"This volume is inscribed to Charles
Prince of Wales, and extends to fourteen
chapters of learned comment and critical

matter, form, and end of the Psalms. It
commences with ' A Sonnet, wherein all
creatures are provoked to joyne together
in prayse of their Almightie Creator,' of
ttoo pages, which lyric paraphrase of the
CXLVill. Psalme is reprinted at length
on account of its great excellency in the
British Bibliographer ; and at the end are
nine pages in verse, namely ' A Soliloquy,
or the Author's Preparation of himself unto
the Studie and Use of the Psalter,' 'A
Prayer,' and 'A Hymne of Thankesgiving
after Sicknesse,'the last in double columns.

the remaining contents of Juvenilia, 1622,

GAINSFORD, THOMAS.
Rich Cabinet. . . . 1616.
This is a very curious and amusing book,
chiefly consisting of original observations,
ranged under heads in the order of the
alphabet. The allusion to Robin Goodfellow
at folio 98 verso, and the description of the
Player (folio 116-18), as he appeared in
1616, are particularly instructive and enter-
taining. Some old proverbs, not found
elsewhere, occur here. Under " merchant "
there are some interesting paragraphs. The
volume is as rare as it is curious, only two
copies having occurred for sale.
It appears from the Address of the Printer
to the Reader that this was an enlarged
and more methodically digested issue of an
earlier publication.
The section devoted to Player will be
found reprinted in English Drama and
Stage, 1869 (Roxburghe Library Series).

The copy examined ended with the first

work licensed to Denham in 1581 as the
" Seven Steps to Heaven" (see Hazlitfc, p.
288) is the same as the Seven Subs, the
author or bookseller having afterwards
substituted a more popular and alliterative
title. The Handful of Honeysuckles, no
doubt, is j)unningly allusive to the writer's
own name.

say that he was induced, by patriotic
