H. C. DE ST. CROIX.

I have an edition of 1605 of these prophecies, _Revuees et corrigees sur

la coppie imprimee a Lyon, par Benoist Rigaud_, 1586, but without place

or printer's name. It contains (century nine, stanza 49.), the quatrain

quoted by SPERIEND.

The following quatrain may be thought to apply to Cromwell (century

eight, stanza 76.):

"Plus Macelin que Roy en Angleterre,

Dieu obscur nay par force aura l'empire:

Lasche sans foy sans loy Seignera terre,

Son temps s'aproche si pres que je souspire."

The edition of 1605 does not contain the line quoted by SPERIEND, "Senat

de Londres," &c., nor any address "A mes Imprimeurs de Hongrie;" but, in

addition to the ten centuries contained in the edition of 1568 (the

_original_ edition), it contains the eleventh and twelfth centuries;

also 141 stanzas of additional "Presages, tirez de ceux faicts par M.

Nostradamus en annees 1555 et suivantes jusques en 1567:" and 58

"Predictions Admirables pour les ans courans en ce Siecle, Recueillies

des Memoires du feu M. Nostradamus, par Vincent Seve, de Beaucaire en

Languedoc, des le 19 Mars, 1605, au Chateau de Chantilly."

My edition is not mentioned by Brunet nor in any of the French

Catalogues that I have been able to consult.
