[From the article "Bohun" in Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_ it

appears that these _Historical Collections_ have been used in the

following work: "_The great Historical, Geographical, and Poetical

Dictionary_, Lond. 1694, folio, wherein are inserted the last Five

Years' Historical and Geographical Collections, which the said Edm.

Bohun, Esq., designed for his own Geographical Dictionary, and never

extant till in this work."]

"_Nimrod._"--Will some of your correspondents be good enough to tell me who

is the author of a very remarkable book entitled _Nimrod: a Discourse upon

certain Passages of History and Fable_, London: Priestley, 1828, 4 vols.;

and can any one inform me for what purpose or with what intention the book

was written? I believe it was suppressed soon after its publication. I have

only met with two other copies, besides my own.
