_Robert Herrick_ (Vol. i., p. 291.)--There is a little volume entitled
_Selections from the Hesperides and Works of the Rev. Robert Herrick_.
(_Antient_) _Vicar of Dean-Prior, Devon_. By the late Charles Short, Esq.,
F.R.S. and F.S.A., published by Murray in 1839. I believe it was recalled
or suppressed, and that copies are rare.
