_Title wanted--Choirochorographia_ (Vol. viii., p. 151.).--The full title
of the book inquired after is as follows:
"[Greek: Choirochôrographia]: sive, Hoglandiæ Descriptio.--Plaudite
_Porcelli Porcorum pigra Propago_ (Eleg. Poet.): Londini, Anno Domini
1709. Pretium 2^d," 8vo.
The printer, as appears from the advertisement at the end of the volume,
was Henry Hills. The middle of the title-page is occupied by a coarsely
executed woodcut, representing a boar with barbed instrument in his snout,
and similar instrument on a larger scale under the head, surmounted with
some rude characters, which I read
"TURX TRVYE BEVIS O HAMTVN."
The dedication is headed, "Augusto admodum & undiquaq; Spectabili Heroi
Domini H---- S---- Maredydius Caduganus Pymlymmonensis, S.P.D." The entire
work appears to be written in ridicule of Hampshire, and to be intended as
a retaliation for work written by Edward Holdsworth, of Magd. Coll. Oxford,
entitled _Muscipula, sive_ [Greek: kambro-muo-machia], published by the
same printer in the same year, and translated by Dr. Hoadly in the fifth
volume of Dodsley's _Miscellany_, p. 277., edit. 1782.
Query, Who was the author? and had Holdsworth any farther connexion with
Hampshire than that of having been educated at Winchester School?
