_Pretended Reprint of Ancient Poetry._--In a bookseller's catalogue (J.
Taylor, Blackfriars-road, 1824), I find mention of a work entitled _Sundrie
Pleasaunte Flowres of Poesie, newlie plucked from the Hill Parnasse the
hand of P. M., and verie goodlie to smelle_. It is said to have been
"Imprynted in London, in the yeare of our Lorde 1576," and "Reprinted by
Davidson, 1823." The bookseller's note records the fact, that "only TWO
COPIES were reprinted from the original supposed to be unique." I do not
believe that any work with the above title came from the press in the
sixteenth century. Query, Who was the enlightened individual who produced
the _two_ copies?
