[Archbishop Laud's _Works_ are now in the course of publication in
the Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology, and from the editor's
valuable bibliographical prefaces to vols. i. and ii., we think it
probable that some notices of these MSS. will be given in the
subsequent volumes. Our correspondent may also consult _Catalogi
Librorum Manuscriptorum Angliæ et Hiberniæ_, Oxon. 1697.]
_Scot's Philomythie._--_Philomythie, or Philomythologie, wherein
Outlandish Birds, Beasts, and Fishes are taught to speak true English
plainlie, &c._
The same volume, a small quarto unpaged, contains "The Merrie American
Philosopher, or Wise Man of the New World," and "Certaine Pieces of this
Age Parabolized, viz. Duellum Britannicum; Regalis Justitia Jacobi;
Aquignispicium; Antidotum Cecillianum; by Thomas Scot, Gentleman, 1616,
with illustrative woodcuts."
Query: Is the book rare, and who was Thomas Scot?
