[C.I.R. (to whom we are indebted for a similar reference) adds the

_William of Wykeham_ (Vol. ii., p. 89.).--
"Historica descriptio compleetens vitam ac res gestas beatissimi
viri Guilmi Wicanii quondam Vintoniensis episcopi et Angliæ
Cancellarii et fundatoris duorum collegiorum Oxoniæ et
Vintoniæ."
is the title of a biography of William of Wykeham attributed to Thomas
Martin, published in 4to. Oxford, 1597.
There is also a little work which may come under the head of
biographies, viz.:
"Uvedale (Robert) Examination of Lowth's objections to the
account given by Leland of the parentage of William of Wykeham,"
8vo. 1801.
