in fact these short extracts will only make the publick still more
desirous to see his long-expected _History of Bristol_, which I am
happy to hear is in great forwardness, and will, I am told,
contain a full account of the YELLOW ROLL, and an exact inventory
of _Maistre William Cannynge's_ Cabinet of coins, medals, and
drawings, (among the latter of which are enumerated many, highly
finished, by Apelles, Raphael, Rowley, Rembrant, and Vandyck)
together with several other matters equally curious. --It is hoped
that this gentleman will gratify the publick with an accurate
engraving from a drawing by Rowley, representing the ancient
Castle of Bristol, together with the square tower ycleped the
DONGEON, which cannot fail to afford great satisfaction to the
purchasers of his book, as it will exhibit a species of
architecture hitherto unknown in this country; this tower (as we
learn from unquestionable authority, that of the Dean of Exeter
himself,) "being remarkably decorated [on paper] with images,
ornaments, tracery work, and crosses within circles, _in a style
net usually seen in these buildings_." --Chatterton, _as soon as
ever he heard that Mr. Barrett was engaged in writing a History of
Bristol_, very obligingly searched among the Rowley papers, and a
few days afterwards furnished him with a neat _copy_ of this
ancient drawing.]
[Footnote Y: This very curious and interesting history may be
found in Mr. Bryant's _Observations_, &c. p. 512. The learned
commentator seems to have had the great father of poetry in his
eye, who is equally minute in his account of the sceptre of
Achilles. See _Il._ I. v. 234. He cannot, however, on this account
be justly charged with plagiarism; these co-incidences frequently
happening. Thus Rowley in the 15th century, and Dryden in the
17th, having each occasion to say that a man wept, use the same
four identical words-- "_Tears began to flow._"]
