Memorial.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 411, where Wood says that the

first part was written in about 1607, and that the writer died in June

1627: that Laud refused to license it for printing in 1635, because it

was so strongly worded against Roman Catholicism, and that after this

failure the son, sir Edward Hungerford, “got it to be printed at

Oxon”, with the Memorial.

Smith”: (1) a poor Greek epigram on this edition, signed “H. H.”:

2–331, the work, Latin on the verso of each leaf, Greek on the recto.

See 1614 J: the first English and Latin editions were in 1562. It is

books: (2–11) “A Table of the chapters...”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 655. This is the first Oxford

edition of the ©Imitation© and the only edition of dr. Page’s

revision. The reviser, who was the bp. of Winchester’s chaplain, has

removed such passages as would offend a Protestant. The preface is

largely an exhortation to unity among the churches.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 972. There are subsequent

editions of the play in 1658 (Oxford) and 1659 (Oxford). The preface

is depreciatory of the work, stating that it was at first written “out

of obedience,” and that it was only published in self-defence to avoid

a threatened unauthorized issue in London.

that book, separately.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 675: the author, according to

the dedication, was a Franciscan at Toulouse, converted to

Protestantism by Stephanus de Cursol, settled at Exeter and patronized

by bp. Hall. In 1637/8 he became a member of Exeter College, and in

1639 incorporated at Cambridge: after which he is lost sight of,

except that he is said to have been reconverted to Roman Catholicism,

and to have gone abroad. The five “fabulæ” are “De universali

Episcopo,” “de infallibilitate papæ,” “de Purgatorio,” “de

Transubstantiatione eucharistica,” and “de invocatione Sanctorum.”

Wescombe is a Somerset and Devon name.

See 1633 B. This is part 1 of the ©Instauratio Magna©, and is an

expansion of the two books of the ©Advancement of Learning© first

printed in 1605, which were enlarged in Latin to nine books, and

published in 1623 (and 1635) by W. Rawley: here they are translated by

G. Wats. Some copies have 1639 in the colophon. At pp. 266–69 are some

woodcut facsimiles of cipher-alphabets, &c. The engraved titlepage by

W. Marshall (9⅝ × 5¾ in.) bears the title on a sheet suspended between

two obelisks representing Oxford and Cambridge: above it are two

globes and “INSTAVR.MAG.P.I.”: below, a ship in full sail and the

imprint: the whole is fully described in the British Museum ©Catalogue

of Prints and Drawings©, Div. 1, vol. 1 (1870), p. 116 (no. 153).

Three out of the four British Museum copies have a portrait of Bacon,

but the translator’s own copy in the Bodleian has not. The collation,

being elaborate, is here appended:—( )^1, ¶^4, ¶¶^2, ¶¶¶^1, A^2B-C^4:

title within double lines: (3–11) Epistola dedicatoria to James lord

Strange, dated “Oxonii è Musæo meo in Collegio Ænea-nasensi, Nono Cal.

Januarii 1639.”, and signed “Thomas Sixesmith”: (13–16) “Index

tractatuum, capitum, et quæstionum ...”: 1–245, the four treatises, on

the first four books of the Ethics.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 141. The original MS.

(finished 27 Oct. 1586) is now part of MS. (Queen’s coll. Oxford no.

218). The method of this commentary or rather analysis is scholastic

and formal. The editor says that he rescued the original MS. from a

“rurale musæum,” when it was “pulvere situque squalidum, & tantum non

sepultum.” The author died in 1613. It is curious that in Moss’s

©Manual of classical bibliography© (Lond., 1825, vol. i, p. 157) this

book is called “Westerman, Commentaria in Ethica Aristotelis. Oxon.

4to. 1640,” with a reference to Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii.

141. The explanation is that _Westerman_ heads the column in Wood’s

work, because the account of William Westerman follows Brerewood on

that column: but the ascription deceived even so acute a bibliographer

as the late professor Chandler in his List of editions of the

Nicomachean Ethics (Oxf. 1878).

For an account of the earlier editions, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii.

422, and 1628 C. The present edition closely resembles the London ones

of 1633 and 1638. Probably the “N. H.” who edited the next article

below, edited this also, Carpenter having died in 1628. The work is

evidently intended to be read with a view to the political

circumstances of the time, under the disguise of dealing with “a

sacred tragedy” from Old Testament history.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 422. This is a reprint of the

Lond. 1633 edition. The preface gives some valuable biographical notes

about Carpenter, who died in 1628, and was the editor’s tutor and

“neere Affine” at Exeter college. It states with reference to the

present book that “had not a kinsman’s (Io. Ca.) friendly hand given

it safe conduct over the Surges of the Ocean, in all likelyhood it had

perished on the Netherland shores.”

commentarioli: (1–44) “Index rerum et nominum memorabilium.”

This is an anonymous history of Britain from the earliest times. The

editor, M(atthew) H(unt), does not mention the fact, that an undated

edition was printed at London by Henry Bynneman (who published from

1566 to 1587), with the title “De rebus gestis Britanniæ commentarioli

tres. Ad Ornatissimum Virum M. Henricum Broncarem Armigerum E.S.”,

from which it has been conjectured that the author’s initials were

“E.S.” The first words of the text are “Britannia est Insula natura

triquetra.” The name of Clain is given in the British Museum catalogue

as the author of an Amberg edition of 1603, and in Thomas Thorpe’s

Catalogue of books (1851) p. 51 an edition printed at Hamburg in 1598

is mentioned under the same name, but I can find no account of the

author, who probably lived at Amberg. Some have ascribed the book to

John Clapham, who published an English ©History of England© till the

coming of the Saxons, in 1602 and 1606.

one by Martin Llewellin: (35–39) “A table of the chapters”: (39)

“Errata”: 1–363, the work, in 39 chapters.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 350, where the translator

from the French into English is stated to be Edmund Chilmead. The

original French edition was published at Toulouse in 1612, under the

title _Traité de l’essence et guérison de l’amour_, and at Paris in

1623 as _De la maladie d’amour, ou melancholie erotique_. If Robert

Burton was acquainted with the first edition of this book, as he well

may have been, there can be little doubt that he has taken or imitated

the general method and treatment of the subject, in his _Anatomy of

Melancholy_: but the French author is surpassed on his own ground. The

research is greater and the felicities of language more numerous and

striking in Burton, while the plan is also further and distinctively

elaborated. There is no mention of Burton’s book in the poems prefixed

to this translation. The words underlined in the above title are

printed in red, as well as “Oxford,” and “sold by Edward Forrest .

1640.” in the imprint.

1–67, the play; (1) “Epilogue.”

This was Fletcher’s unaided composition, before the close of 1624,

when it was twice performed at court. The underplot is said to be

based on one of Cervantes’ “Novelas Exemplares.” See the ©Dict. of

Nat. Biogr.© under Fletcher, p. 307, col. 1. The present is the first

edition, and the only quarto one.

The authorship of this play is doubtful. The first edition (Lond.

1639) was entitled “The Bloody Brother. A Tragedy. By _B. J. F._” i.

e. Ben Johnson and Fletcher?, and it was entered in the Stationers’

complimentary poems to the author, alluding to Shakespeare’s, Ben

Johnson’s and Randolph’s deaths: (12) Errata: 1–96, the play, with

epilogue.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 31. The author died before

1650, not, as Foster’s ©Alumni Oxonienses© asserts, as late as 1699.

The editor, who is known to be Philip Papillon of Exeter college,

declares that the play is here printed without the author’s knowledge

and against his modesty. The lines relating to Shakespeare, which have

perhaps only been reprinted in Pickering and Chatto’s Catalogue of

books, nos. 70–72 (June 1893), p. 15, are:—

These are verses to celebrate the birth of prince Henry, 8 July 1640

(_d._ 1660). Most are in Latin and English, but three in Greek, two in

French, one in Hebrew. The signatures as usual show the difficulty of

getting the poems sent in in time and arranged in proper order.

There is no bibliography of the numerous works of Erycius Puteanus,

Milan and Louvain. The _Palæstra Bonæ Mentis_ is properly a hall at

Louvain, where some of these were delivered, and in another sense a

literary club which met there for debate, recitations and the like.

_AND_ | AMYNTAS· | [_line_] | By THO. RANDOLPH M.A. and late | Fellow of

Impr. 174: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [28] + 134 + [2] + 87 + [7] + 101

+ [1]: pp. 11 beg. _Africk he loaths, High as the men_, and _For

Mopsus_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) an engraved title, see

below: (3) title, as above, within double lines: (5–26) twelve poems

on the author and book: 1–134, the poems: (1) title of the Muses

Looking-glass, almost as in 1638 R, with impr. 174: 1–87, (1), the

play: (2) title of Amyntas, nearly as in 1638 R, but “By T.R.”, with

impr. 174: (4) “Dramatis Personæ”: (6–7), 1–101, the play.

“enlargement” in this edition is not evident. The engraved title bears

a bust of Randolph on a pedestal, with Philosophia and Poesis doing

him honour, and a celestial sphere and Pegasus above. On the pedestal

are the words “Poems by Tho : Randolph. The 2^d Edition much

Enlarged.”, and below is impr. 196. Each of the three parts is

separately paged, but the two plays are linked by the signatures,

while the title alone connects the plays with the poems. The Cambridge

1640 edition of “The Jealous Lovers”, a comedy by Randolph, is not

infrequently found bound with this volume, but has no necessary

connexion with it.

double bounding lines except at foot (single line): 1–43, 19 poems, of

which four are in Latin.

Very rare. The only copy I have seen of this privately printed book is

in the British Museum. The marriage (in 1640) was between Anne

daughter of sir Edward Baynton, of Bromham (_d._ 1657), and Hugh

Rogers esq. of Cannington. The poems are clearly by friends and

relations of both parties, but are signed only with initials. A copy

of the book was in the Heber sale (pt. viii, p. 49).

Contents:—pp. (1–4) not seen: (5) title, with border within lines:

(7–24) dedication to all true Believers, by the editor: (25–32) “To

the Reader”: (33–35) “Rules to be observed in reading of promises”:

1–157, the 105 legacies: (1–2) “A postscript sent from the Authour”:

(4) a title within a line:—“AN | EPITOME OF | PROMISES | FOR THE |

_SAINTS SUPPORT_ | IN TIME OF | TROVBLE. | [_line_] | _The sixth

Edition._ | [_line, motto, line_]”. with impr. 204: 1–31, 31 promises:

(1–4) texts: (6–9) “A Postscript, to all true Beleevers”: (10–18,

20–22) “Five Tables ...” or indexes.

This is a rare and curious book: rare, inasmuch as no ordinary library

catalogue or bibliography contains any mention of any edition or copy

of it; and curious, as having its two parts—which are indissolubly

joined by the signatures and sections—printed by the same printer for

two different London publishers, R. Royston and S. Enderby. We must

suppose these two to have ventured proportionate parts in the book.

only copy I have seen, in Queen’s College (Oxford) Library, is

interleaved, and wants the two appendixes, which probably occupied the

same number of pages as in the 1631 edition.

sheets of this work were reissued in 1650 at London, with a new title

nor his editors have been aware of this earlier edition. Both were

anonymous, and the direct evidence for the authorship (which need not

be doubted) is difficult to find. Bp. Barlow wrote the author’s name

had been written some years before 1640: the author matriculated at St

John’s College, Oxford, in June 1634.
