FOOTNOTES:

[BS] Aubrey gives a drawing of the monument. At the top are the arms

of the Merchant Tailors' Company, viz. 'argent, a royal tent between

two parliament robes gules lined ermine, on a chief azure a lion

passant guardant or.' Underneath is 'his effigies.' On the right side,

the legend _Aut scribenda agere_ over the figure of his 'Annales of

England'; on the left, the legend _Aut legenda scribere_ over the

figure of his 'Survey of London.'

=Thomas Street= (1621/2-1689).

[1011]Mr. Thomas Streete[LXXXVI.], astronomer, was borne[BT] in

Ireland, his widowe thinkes, at Castle Lyons, March the 5ᵗʰ, 1621.

[LXXXVI.] His astronomical tables are the best that ever were yet made.

Anno 1661 he printed that excellent piece of _Astronomia Carolina_,

which he dedicated to king Charles II, and also presented it well bound

to prince Rupert and the duke of Monmouth, but never had a farthing of

any of them.

Afterwards he published an Appendix to his _Astronomia Carolina_, 4to,

which makes it perfect--printed for Francis Cossinet at the Anchor and

Mariner in Tower Street, 1664.
