Florence, March, 1854.
_Writings of the Martyr Bradford_ (Vol. ix., p. 450.).--In reply to MR.
TOWNSEND'S inquiry respecting early editions of Bradford's writings, I can
add to the information furnished by the Editor that the copy of his _Hurt
of Hearyng Masse_, sold at Mr. Jolley's sale, was purchased subsequently of
Mr. Thorpe, and deposited in the Chetham Library. This edition is not
noticed by Watt.
In Stevens's _Memoirs of the Life and Martyrdom of John Bradford, with his
Examinations, Letters, &c._, there is no mention of the letter _ad calcem_
of--
"An Account of a Disputation at Oxford, Anno Domini 1554. With a
Treatise of the Blessed Sacrament; both written by Bishop Ridley,
Martyr. To which is added a Letter written by Mr. John Bradford, never
before printed. All taken out of an original manuscript [and published
by Gilbert Ironside], Oxford, 1688, 4to."
