See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 184. Dugres or Du Gres had
already issued a French grammar at Cambridge in 1636, and new editions
of his Dialogues, with rules of pronunciation and tables of verbs,
were published at Oxford in 1652 and 1660.

A (George?) Foxley is mentioned in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iv.
137, as preaching in London in Jan. 1648/9. Copies of this treatise

(10–22) “Index rerum memorabilium”, alphabetical.
This is a reprint of the 1627 or 1631 Antwerp edition, being itself
the third. The scope of the work may be gathered from the definition
of “Meteora” as being phenomena produced by vapour (rain, &c.), or by
exhalation (fiery, as lightning and falling stars: or non-fiery, as
winds), or by both (clouds). Fromondus lived from 1587 to 1654,
chiefly at Louvain.
