_Captain Ayloff_ (Vol. vii., p. 429.).--I possess a small volume (a 12mo.)
by "Captain Ayloffe," with a title-page as follows:
"A Pocket Companion for Gentlemen and Ladies; being a true and faithful
Epitomy of the most exact and ample Histories of _England_; containing
all the material Particulars in every reign of the _English_ Monarchs,
from Egbert to her present Majesty, being 884 years. With forty-nine
Copper plates curiously engraved, being the effigies of every Monarch.
London, printed by J. Nutt, near Stationers' Hall, 1703."
It is dedicated "To the Honourable Col. Archibald Row, Colonel of the Royal
Regiment of Scots Fuzileers," and signed "W. Ayloffe." Then follows an
introduction of six pages.
Should the above be useful to MR. STERNBERG, I shall feel pleasure in
having made the communication by means of the useful and intelligent
publication of "N. & Q."
