_Middleton's Epigrams and Satyres, 1608_ (Vol. iv., p. 272.).--These
Epigrams, about which QUAESO inquires, are not the production of Thomas
Middleton the dramatist, but of "_Richard_ Middleton of Yorke,
gentleman." The only copy known to exist is among the curious collection
of books presented by the poet Drummond to the University of Edinburgh.
A careful reprint, limited to forty copies, was published at Edinburgh
in 1840. It is said to have been done under the superintendance of James
Maidment, Esq.
