Reading edition

Impr. 2: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 58: p. 11 beg. Tremelius notes: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–26, 27–58, the sermons.

See 1636 P.

Impr. 11: 1615: (eights) 16^o: pp. [8] + 230 + [Appendixes, see below] 124 + [4]: p. 11 beg. possunt. Individua: 111 tur auferendo: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) “Elenchus capitum”: (7–8) “Admonitio ad Lectorem”: 1–230, the Compendium, in three parts.

Very rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 626. See 1618 S (2nd. ed., reprinted in Sanderson’s Works, vol. 6), 1631 S (3rd), 1640 S (4th), 1657 (5th), 1664 (6th), (7th), 1672 (8th), 1680 (9th), no date (10th, according to dr. Jacobson, Sanderson’s editor), and 1707, 1741, 1841, 1854 (in Sanderson’s works, Oxf. 1854, vol. 6). Cf. 1602 S. The Admonitio declares that the Appendixes are not ready and must be omitted. There is no clue to the author in the book. The only copy I have seen (in Queen’s College Library, Oxford) has the Appendixes of the second edition bound with it, so possibly they were printed in time to be issued with some copies.

Impr. 4: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A⁴ B²: sign. B 1^r beg. at morning: Pica English. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r-B 2^r, 51 articles: B 2^v, “The oath of the Church-wardens.”

Jul.” in dedication, and in 2nd titlepage “HABI-|ta,” “beatæ | ,” “ACADE-|miæ,” “piis,” “parenta-|rent.”, and the Oration is (6–19), and dated 1615.

This is a reprint verbatim but not literatim. Cf. 1607 W., 2nd ed.

1616.

105Impr. 2: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 38: p. 11 beg. answere, that: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–38, the work.

A controversial discourse against Roman Catholicism.

Impr. 34: 1616: (eights) 12^o: pp. [8] + 64: p. 11 beg. yeeld into: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) “To the Reader,” a preface by I[ohn] B[arnes]: 1–24, “A breefe Treatise concerning the preseruation of the eye sight”: 25–62, “A Treatise of the principall diseases of the eyes, gathered out of Fernelius and Iohn Riolamus Doctors of Phisicke.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 586 and 1602 B, for the first treatise. Johannes Fernelius and Johannes Riolanus the elder, both French physicians, died in 1558 and 1609 respectively, but neither wrote a special treatise on eyesight. The preface is no doubt by John Barnes and alludes to the worth and undeserved obscurity of Bailey’s work. The whole book with the possible exception of the titlepage, was printed in London, the woodcuts being quite unknown at Oxford. Even the arms of the University on the titlepage are re-cut on wood. The first treatise is only a reprint, Dr. Bailey having died in 1592, and the whole book, preface and all, was reprinted at London in 1626.

Impr. 11: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + “452” (440–443 are omitted in the numbers of pages) + [8] + “453”-“645” + [3]: p. 11 beg. mi, quibus ait, 111 Astrologum, 501 sum est illud: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) Epistola dedicatoria to sir Henry Wallop, dated “Ex Musæo nostro Aldingtonæ” 25 Jan. 1615 i. e. 1615 6: (9–10) “Ad lectorem”: (11–16) list of chapters in books 1–3: 1–452, the work, bks. 1–3: (1–5) dedication of bk. 4 to dr. Arthur Lake warden of New College, Oxford, dated “Ex Musæo nostro Aldingtonȩ 1 Feb. 1615” i. e. 1615 6: (6–8) list of chapters in bk. 4: 453–645, the work, bk. 4: (1) “Errata ... & prætermissa ...”.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 327, the biography in which appears to be largely founded on the preface to this book. The first edition of bks. 1–3 is Heidelberg 1612, the preface dated 1609. There is a reissue of the sheets of the present edition (Errata and all) “Londini, apud Johannem Billium. Anno 1617,” the titlepage alone being newly printed and the old one torn off. The 4th and 5th books were published at Leyden in 1622, and all reprinted in the 9th volume of the Critici Sacri (Lond. 1660).

Impr. 2: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 193 + [19]: p. 11 beg. ved in the treasurie, 111 cense the people: Pica Roman. Contents:—exactly as 1614 G, except “Calend.” and “Godvvinus.”

106See 1614 G., of which this is a verbatim and almost paginatim, but not literatim, reprint.

Impr. 11: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 190 + [10]: p. 11 beg. illîc loci, 111 & inter semen: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to James Montague bp. of Bath & Wells, dated “Oxon. pridie Iduum Januarij”: (5–6) “Lectori ...”: (7) a table of divisions: 1–190, the work: (1) Comparative table of Hebrew and English Coins: (3–9) “Index rerum et verborum maxime insignium.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 52, and 1613 G note. The author was chaplain to the bp. of Bath and Wells. The Moses et Aaron of the same author (Lond. 1625 and often) covers some of the same ground, but is a distinct work and in English.

Impr. 35: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 125 + [3]: p. 11 beg. Q. How are, 111 Q. What is the: English Roman. Contents:—pp. (1–2), [not seen]: (3) title: (5–7): dedication to William Redman of Great Shelford, signed N. A.: 1–125, the work: (1–3) [not seen.]

Very rare. This book is questions and answers on almost every subject concerned with man’s body and mind. Not a line of it was printed at Oxford, the woodcuts and type differ from Oxford ones, and even the device, which is like the smaller Oxford Arms of the University, is from a different block. The British Museum catalogue supplies the author’s name.

Impr. 2: 1616: (eights) 12^o: pp. [72], signn. A-D⁸ E⁴: sign. B 4^r beg. Dissolu’d vnto: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r title: A 2^r-A 5^r, “To the Reader”: A 5^v-B 1^r, Complimentary letter from John Ley, and verses by John Wall and others: B 1^v-E 2^r, the translation, with a few notes: E 2^v-E 3^r, “An apostrophe of the translatour to his Authour Persius,” &c.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 523. The first edition seems to be unrecorded. There are London editions of 1617, 1635, and 1650: and Oxf. 1673. Some edition of this book was entered at Stationers’ Hall by John Barnes on 14 Nov. 1616, and another by William Arundel, by John Barnes’s consent on 29 Mar. 1617.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 633, and the next art. Two very rude wood engravings illustrate the text, one on sign. A 4^r depicting the tortures inflicted on Angelus by the Turks, the other (sig. B 4^v) possibly an emblematic figure representing England.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 633, 1618 A, and preceding art., of which this is a translation, in good English. The same two engravings occur as in the Greek text, on sign. A 4^r and B 4^r.

Impr. 11: 1617: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 108 + [4]: p. 11 beg. licentur etiam: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–180, the Life: (1) account of the sources of the Life: (3) “Errata.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 258. The Life was reprinted in [Bates’s] Vitæ Selectorum ... virorum, Lond. 1681, p. 1: and an English translation was published at London in 1699. This Life of the founder of All Souls contains some solid historical matter, with a few documents. Some copies want the Errata.

Impr. 36: 1617: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 41 + [1]: p. 11 beg. monly they: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–41, the sermon, on 2 Pet. iii. 16.

For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 409. This sermon was reprinted in Hale’s Golden Remains (Lond. 1659 &c.), with others. The text, outer margin and headlines of every page are within bounding lines.

5. Hutchins, Robert. Stationers’ Register, ed. Arber, iii. 654 “7^o Augusti 1619. John Barnes. Entred for his copie by order of a 108Court A short Catechisme made by Robert Hutchins which was the copie of Joseph Barnes his ffathers ... vj^d,” assigned to John Wright the same day. This Catechism cannot be later than 1617, in which year Joseph Barnes ceased printing, nor before 1605 when John Wright began to publish: but I find no other notice of the book or author.

Impr. 38: 1617: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 75 + [1]: p. 11 beg. returne to: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to James Montague bp. of Winchester, dated “from my study in Corpus Christi College ... Septemb. 6. 1617”: 1–37, the first sermon, on Jer. xxxi. 21–22: 38–75, the second, on Gal. iv. 4–5.

Congratulatory poems by members of the University of Oxford, on the occasion of the return of James i from a short visit to Scotland. All are in Latin except two Greek and two French: one is acrostic and one in the shape of an altar. On the title is a rough wood engraving of an altar with fire, bearing the words DEO REDVCI:.

Impr. 13c: 1617: (twelves) 16^o: [2] + 204 + [2] + 2 unpaged tables, see below: p. 11 beg. Tertio Ge-, 111 ctivam habet: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–204, the work, in 3 books, with two sm. 4^o leaves unpaged inserted at pp. 32–3 and 42–3, printed on one side only with logical divisions of Substantia and Qualitas respectively: (1) “Lectoribus ...”, a deprecation of criticism.

109For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 283. This is the first known Oxford edition: see 1613 S., 1614 S., 1618 S., 1627 S., 1633 S., 1639 S., 1684. There is also a London ed. of 1621.

So in Arber’s Transcript of the Stationers’ Register, as a book of Joseph Barnes’s, entered at Stationers’ Hall 26 Feb. 1620 1 by John Barnes. It must have been printed between 1585 and 1617 inclusive, probably after 1610.

1618.

Impr. 39: 1618: sm. 4^o: pp. [16], signn. A-B⁴: sign. B 1^r beg. much in debt: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r title: A 2^r, dedication to England: A 2^r-B 3^r, the work: B 4^r, a woodcut, see below.

Very rare: for the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 633. Dr. Bliss in his copy of Angelus, now in the Bodleian, suggests that this edition was worked off without the Greek when Angelus betook himself to travel about the country. It is a reprint almost literatim of 1617 A. Angelus was in Oxford, according to Dr. Bliss, from Whitsuntide 1610 to about Easter 1618, and died 1 Feb. 1638 9. The second woodcut is a new and rather more elaborate one than in the 1617 issue, but not more intelligible, and is enclosed in an oval frame: the first (on sign. A 4^r) is unchanged.

2.*† ——. [Letters testimonial to the good behaviour of Christopher Angell, (1) & (3) from the University of Oxford, 10 May 1610 and 20 Mar. 1617 (1617 8), and (2) from the bp. of Salisbury 15 Aug. 1616, all in English.

C[rakanthorp]”: (13–16) “Index capitum et rerum ...”: 1–96, the work.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 362. The author seems to have allowed Richardson to take the book through the press, but to have revised and prepared it himself.

Impr. 42: 1619: (eights) 12^o: pp. [12] + 1 unpaged sheet + 144 + [12]: p. 11 beg. Tractatus de, 111 rantiæ suæ: Long Primer English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to bp.

Impr. 48: 1620: 12^o?

For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 51: see 1614 G. Only known at present from references in 17th cent. catalogues and from a titlepage in the Bagford Collections at the British Museum (463. h. 3, no. 546), but it is not likely to be really rare.

This is a new edition of 1605 J, arranged in one alphabetical order of authors’ names. The Proeomium contains much information about the Library. The MSS. and printed books are treated alike in this catalogue, each with its pressmark. Dr. James had resigned the office of Librarian in May 1620 from illness. The Hebrew MSS. are not all entered in the Catalogue, and “propter typorum defectum” are described in Latin, not Hebrew type. A second edition of the Appendix was issued in 1635. The expense of printing the volume was £112 10s., (Reg. Convoc. N. 23, fol. 93, quoted by Macray Annals of the Bodleian, 2nd ed. p. 58 n.)

Impr. 47: 1620: the rest as 1608 T.

This is a simple reissue of the sheets of the 1608 edition, with a new titlepage, but is extremely rare.

1621.

Impr. 39: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 38 + [2]: p. 11 (“10”) beg. which is the: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “To the Reader”, signed “Th. 115Broad”: 1–26, the work: 27–33 “A DIALOGVE | betvveene a Ievv and a Christi-|AN of the Common | Opinion.” 33–38, “A note touching the Lords Day”: (1) “Errata.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 594. A treatise against too strict observance of Sunday, answered by George Abbot, M.P. for Guildford, in his Vindiciæ Sabbathi, Lond. 1641.

From my Studie in Christchurch Oxon. Decemb. 5. 1620”: (8) “Errata.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 653. For subsequent Oxford editions see 1624 B, 1628 B, 1632 B, 1638 B, 1651. Other editions are Lond. 1660 (7th), 1676 (8th), 1800 (9th), (10th), 1806 (11th), 1845, 188-, as well as epitomes. This celebrated work is replete with erudition, humour, and acuteness. The recondite sources of the numberless quotations are perhaps only to be found in the Bodleian, to which Burton bequeathed his printed books, of which a catalogue is among the Bodleian MSS. This first edition, which is anonymous except for one signature on p. (7) of the Conclusion, is accounted rare, but copies not infrequently appear for sale. Each successive edition during the author’s lifetime (he died in Jan. 1639 40) shows alterations.

Impr. 39: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [10] + 126: p. 11 beg. catione, tum, 111 Cap. 2. Argumenta: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedicatory epistle to the king: (7–8) “Ad Lectorem”: (9–10) “Elenchus Capitum ...”: 1–126, the work, in two parts: 126 “Errata”.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 439.

Heylyn: (14–15) “The Table” of contents, in alphabetical order: (16) “A computation of the forraine Coynes herein mentioned with ours”: 1–417, (1–2) the work: (3) “Errata.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 557, where 1622 is a misprint for 1621 and 1624 for 1625. For other Oxford editions of this well-known and popular manual of Geography 116see 1625 H, 1627 H, 1629 H, 1631 H, 1633 H, 1636 H, 1639 H: there are also London editions (entitled Cosmographie) of 1652, 1657, 1664?, 1666, 1670, 1674?, 1677, 1682, 1703.

Impr. 40: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 260: p. 11 beg. ma. Quid, 111 trag; à centro: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) “Errata ...”: (3) “Henricus Savilius lectori”: 1–260, the work.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 314. This was Savile’s last publication, for he died 19 Feb 1621 2. There are many woodcuts of figures of propositions. Most copies have a device on the titlepage, but a presentation copy from the author to the Bodleian and the copy in the Savile Library omit it. The absence of a dedication is unusual.

Impr. 40: 1621: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + plate + 152: p. 11 beg. tur potiùs, 111 lestium corporum: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to the duke of Lennox: (7–11) “Ad Lectorem benevolum”: (12) “Παραρυάδες sic restituantur ...”: folded quarto leaf, see below: 1–152, the work in three divisions.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 5. The Episcopal Alchemist endeavours to find the Philosopher’s stone through Sulphurous Magnesia (Nil), water (Aliquid) and gold (Omnia). Vitriol is regarded as of vital importance. Much Theology is introduced. The woodcut plate represents the concord and discord of the four elements in various relations, in a circular table.

Impr. 45: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [16], sign. A, *⁴: sign. A 3^r beg. damentall grounds, * 3^r or of the Vniversalitie: English Roman. Contents:—sign.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 564. The latter part of this piece seems to have been issued separately, see Howson, John, below.

Impr. 42a: 1622: (eights) 16^o: pp. [24] + 395 + [5]: p. 11 beg. tute ab alio, 111 ali: At nullam: Pica Roman. Contents:—p.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 421, where Lond. is a misprint for Oxon. The first edition was issued at Frankfort in 1621 “authore N. C. Cosmopolitano,” with different prefatory matter, only two Decads, and variations in text and arrangement. See 1636 C, 1637 C, 1675. Some woodcuts of diagrams occur in the text.

Impr. 39: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 21 + [3]: p. 11 beg. own natural: Great Primer English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to lady Briget countesse of Lincolne, signed “Elizabeth Lincolne”: (7–8) “To the ... Reader,” signed “T. L.”, i. e. Thomas Lodge: 1–21, the work: (2–3) not seen.

Rare. The object of this small treatise, “the first worke of” the authoress “that ever came in Print,” is to persuade mothers to nurse their own children. The author appears to dedicate it to her daughter-in-law, not mother-in-law as Bliss states (Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 384 n.). The authorship has been ascribed to Thomas Lodge (Wood, as above), but there is every internal mark that he only wrote the address to the Reader, and possibly revised the whole.

Impr. 49: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. and crabbed: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–8) dedication to Richard earl of Dorset: 1–30, the sermon, on Gen. xlv. 8.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 921.

5. Heylyn, Peter. Microcosmus: see 1621 H.

No impr. or date, but 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [8], sign. *⁴: sign. * 2^r beg. By this you see: English Roman. Contents:—sign. * 1^r, heading as above: * 1^r-4^*r, the directions.

These are Directions to preachers in the Diocese of Oxford, to restrict their choice of subjects and treatment of them within the bounds of the XXXIX Articles. The Directions are dated 31 Aug. 1622, and quote mandates from the King (4 Aug. 1622) and the archbp. of Canterbury (12 Aug. 1622). It is perhaps doubtful whether this is genuinely a separate book from Abbot’s Letter, above.

118Impr. 40: 1622: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A⁴ B²: sign. B 1^r beg. Vniversitas: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 2^r title: A 3^r-B 2^r, the propositions.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 3 and Hist. and Antiqq. of the University of Oxford, sub anno 1622. The propositions condemned were those delivered by William Knight of Broadgates Hall in a University sermon on Apr. 15, 1622, founded on principles of David Pareus, to the effect that subjects may take up arms against their sovereign. The propositions and censures were considered in a Convocation 25 June 1622. The form of oath to be taken by all future graduates is appended, and a note that Pareus’s book was burnt on 6 June 1622.

Impr. 40: sm. 4^o: pp. [58] signn. ( ), *⁴, **¹, A-F⁴: sign. B 1^r beg. Heroum vulgus: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 2^r title: ( ) 3^r “Munificentia Savilii in celeberrimam Vniversitatem Oxoniensem”: ( ) 4^r, dedication to the Earl of Pembroke by the “Genius Scholarum”: ( ) 4^v, see below: * 1^r-** 1^v “Oratio funebris habita in scholâ Theologiæ Oxon. in obitum celeberrimi viri, Henrici Savilii, Equitis Aurati. A Tho. Goffe ... publico Academiæ Oratore tunc temporis deputato”: ( ) 4^v, A 1^r-F 3^v, the poems.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 315, 463. The poems are nearly all in Latin, but 5 are Greek, 2 Hebrew, one French, and one English: there is one chronogram. The “Oratio funebris” is clearly an added piece.

9. Rawlinson, John. “The Bridegroom and Bride: On Cant. 4. 8. Ib. [i. e. Oxon.] 1622, &c. qu.”

So in Wood’s list of Rawlinson’s sermons (Ath. Oxon., ii. 506). It was preached in 1662 and re-printed at Oxford in 1625, but Wood’s statement is explicit, and there may have been a separate issue in 1622, though I have not met with a copy or other reference to it.

119This is a reply by a Cambridge man to Francis Anthony’s supposed discovery of a medicine called Aurum Potabile, in his Apologia veritatis illucescentis, pro auro potabili, Lond. 1616. For the controversy see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 416. This work was sent to press at Oxford in 1616, but recalled before printing.

Impr. 39: 1623: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 34: p. 11 beg. Who teach, That: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–34, the Articles in 4 chapters.

Merton College let the manor of Maldon to the Queen in 21 Eliz. (1578–79), for 5000 years. The lease was disputed by the College in 1621 (“about two yeares since”), and again in this Case, which sets out the reasons for annulling the same.

5. Oxford, University. CAROLVS | REDVX. | [device with AC. on one side and OX. on the other.]

Impr. 42: 1623: sm. 4^o: pp. [92], signn. ( )² ¶⁴ ¶¶² A-I⁴ K²: sign. B 1^r beg. Pierides nuper: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign.

Poems by members of the University of Oxford to congratulate prince Charles on his return from Madrid to England 5 Oct. 1623. Most are in Latin, but 4 in Greek and 2 in Hebrew: there are also 4 chronograms, 1 acrostich and 1 anagram. For King’s speech see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 632.

1. A, J. The younger brother his apologie: see 1634 A.

No imprint: 1624: sm. 4^o: pp. [8]: ( ) 3^r beg. Consilium extorsit: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—( ) 1^r, title: 2^r-4^r, the Latin poem, at end “Faciebat R.A.”

A Latin hexameter poem on the death of sir Thomas Reid, of whom I do not readily find any account. No part of this was printed in Oxford, the woodcuts and type being unknown there: even the small device of the Arms of the University on the titlepage (which has caused this work to be ascribed to the Oxford Press) differs from the genuine one. No doubt the book was printed in London.

Impr. 48: 1624: (fours) folio: pp. [4] + 64 + [4] + “1”-“188” + [4] + “189”-“332” + [2] + “333”-“557” + [7]: pp. 11 beg. make sport, and uing borne in, 401 Da mihi basia: English Roman. Contents:—p.

See “Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 653, and 1621 B. The author’s name does not seem to occur anywhere in the book.

Impr. 51: 1624: sm. 4^o: pp. [24] + 123 + [1]: p. 11 beg. neither can they, 111 them: which: English Roman. Contents:—p.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 424. The book was entered at Stationers’ Hall to Will. Turner, 18 July 1623. The author, whose initials only occur in the book, was at this time bishop of Chichester: the editor Vicars had married the bishop’s daughter. Sir Chr. Heydon’s book was published in 1603 at Cambridge, and a second book by him on Astrology published in 1650 was followed by a reprint of the present work in 1651.

Impr. 42: 1624: 16^o.

For the author and book see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 207, and 1619 F. Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections at the British Museum (463. h. 3), but it is not likely to be rare.

Impr. 39, &c. exactly as 1623 F.

This is a reissue of the sheets of 1623 F with part of the titlepage altered. There is another issue of this reissue, *undated, with impr. 49a, but no other change from the present edition of any kind.

Impr. 45: 1624: 16^o.

Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections in the British Museum (463. h. 3), but it is not likely to be rare.

8. Heylyn, Peter. Microcosmus: the reference in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 557 to an edition of this year, is probably an error for 1625.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 348, Fasti Oxon., i. 398. Poems by members of the University of Oxford on the death of William Camden, which took place on 9 Nov. 1623. Most are in Latin, but there are 10 Greek, with 5 anagrams, and 2 chronograms. Whear’s Oration contains many biographical details about Camden.

122Impr. 40: 1624: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 6 + [8]: p. 3 beg. VVhite dato: Pica & Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 415.

1625.

Impr. 52: 1625: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 43 + [1]: p. 11 beg. ent euidence: English Roman. Contents: p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to Sir Thomas Richardson, the author’s uncle, dated “From my study in Christ-Church in Oxford. Nouemb. 24.” 1624: 1–43 the sermon, on Rom. vi. 23: 43, “Errata”.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 457. The title and each page are within bounding lines. The author gives as one of his reasons for printing the sermon, that it was very wet when he delivered it, so that his auditors were few.

Impr. 60: 1625: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 71 + [1]: p. 11 beg. linea recta: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “Ad Lectorem”: 1–71 the work.

There should be four diagrams on folded leaves, after pp. (8) “The Analysis of the first Booke”: 252 “A Table ...”: (18) “The Analysis of the seconde Booke”: 228 “A Table of the Climates ...”. The omitted diagram would have followed p. 62 of the second part.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 422, and 1635 C. The treatise is of the theory and principles of Geography, not of details like Heylyn’s Microcosmus. The author maintains that the earth is the centre of the universe, the sun and planets revolving round it! There are many woodcut diagrams in the text.

Very scarce. George Wither’s Withers Motto, Nec habeo, nec Careo, nec Curo, was published in 1621 and consists of reflexions on human affairs: this book is a poetical satire on those reflexions, and on the character of Wither. The author is unknown.

Before p. 7 should come a narrow folded leaf, probably about 10 in. high by 5 in. wide, with “The Table of Climes”, printed on one side only.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 629. A singular sermon, more learned than theological. The title seems to be explained by pp. 20–21, where Antonio Possevino (d. 1611) is cited as planning a purgatio bibliothecarum in the interests of the Roman Catholic Church: to this James opposes his plea for freedom of research.

Impr. 58: 1625: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 36 + [2]: p. 11 beg. Dowists doe make: Pica Roman. Contents: p. (1) title: 1–36, the work.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. This is a reprint of the text of the Humble ... Request below (except the last paragraph beginning “For the raising of the charges,” which James probably saw to be unpractical), with the addition of comments, written in senile style but obviously by dr. James, and of great interest both for the biography of the author and the principles of criticism as applied to editing a text from MSS. These 26 “Theses or Rules concerning the Art Criticke” are, at p. 23, followed by examples. Dr. James paid two Dutchmen for transcription abroad at the rate of 20s. per quire, each quire taking them a week, and the hundred quires per year sufficing to keep two presses at work (p. 17). At p. 26 he explains that a critical remark by bp. Bilson first set him about compiling the Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis (Lond. 1600).

No imprint or date, but Oxford, 1625 (perhaps 1624) (eight) 16^o: pp. 15 + [1]: Great Primer English. Contents:—p. 1 title as above: 1–15, the request, signed “T. I. S. T. P. B. P. N.” (i. e. Thomas James, Sanctae Theologiae Professor: for B. P. N. see note to 1599 R.: but the occurrence of the letters here without any text or motto favours the interpretation “Bono Publico Natus”): (1) a form of approbation of the scheme, signed by 17 leading men in Oxford.

125Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. This (and still more the Explanation above, which see) is an interesting plea for the application of criticism to aid in restoring the texts of Fathers and Schoolmen which had been corrupted by Roman Catholic theologians. The date cannot be precisely ascertained: the titles of the approvers only confine it to 1624, 1625, or 1626: the Explanation alludes to it as “lately” issued: so that it is difficult to say whether 1624 or 1625 is the year of issue.

Impr. 62: 1625: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 136 + [8]: p. 11 beg. The first Corollary, 111 onely titular: Pica Roman. Contents:—p.

See Woods Fasti Oxon., i. 416. Selden’s History of Tithes was published in 1618. This treatise is a vindication of a public sermon on the subject which gave some offence. Hebrew Pica (unpointed) type is freely used in the book, for the first time. The title and every page are within bounding lines.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267. The Chapel of Exeter here concerned (which is not now standing) was built entirely at dr. Hakewill’s expense, at a cost of about £1200. The preface to the sermon mentions many Exeter men of the time and, incidentally, that dr. Hakewill was a kinsman of sir Thomas Bodley. The sermon was reprinted at Oxford in 1636.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 217. The first edition was published in London in 1623, with a similar title, giving 12 July 1623 as the date of the Dissertation: the preface is dated 29 Sept. 1623 and the dedication is to William Camden, then alive, but the Oratio is not prefixed. For other edd. see 1637 W, 1662.

Very rare. This is a curious production of a Dutch press, and appears to be a vigorous defence of Barneveldt (d. 1619) and the Arminians against Maurice prince of Orange and the Gomarists. Latin, French, Dutch and Italian are used, and the whole piece abounds with lacunae. “Walter Map” in the imprint is of course the well-known archdeacon of Oxford in the 12th cent., whose satires are still appreciated.

Impr. 63: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 30 + [2]: p. 11 beg. of Yorke: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) Epistle dedicatorie to sir Richard Blunt, signed “Rob. Barnes”, “from my study at Greys this 4th of May, 1626”: 1–30, the sermon.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., i. 339. The author was the son of Joseph Barnes the printer, and a Fellow of Magdalen College: the dedication contains some biographical matter, and the sermon some Henley affairs, such as ploughing on Easter Tuesday, which the preacher laments.

Impr. 65: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + 63 + [1]: p. 11 beg. per se quidem: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–8) Epistola dedicatoria to sir Thomas Coventry: (9–11) “Praefatio ad lectorem christianum”: (12) the two quaestiones debated in the Diatribae, with answers in Latin verse: 1–25 the two diatribae; 27–63, the concio, on Jud. 11.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 633. The preface explains that the discourses were printed in order to confute a charge of Arminianism.

Impr. 59: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 173 + [3]: P. 11 beg. superiours. These, 111. Chap. xxvii: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “To the Reader,” unsigned, but by William Pinke the translator, see below: (5–8) “A Table of the Chapters”: 1–173 The Examination, in 41 chapters and a Conclusion: (2) “Faults escaped in some copies,” 6¼ lines of Errata.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 476, where Bliss adds a note from White Kennett’s copy of the 1^st ed. of the Athenæ (at i. 463) “William Pinke. He translated and published An Examination ... 1626. 4^to. Ded. to the Master Wardens and Assistants of the Skinners Company. by W. P. [William Pinke] acknowledging his Engagements to the whole Company, and reverencing the Memory of that worthy Knight Sir James Lancaster.” Neither the British Museum copy nor the two Bodleian copies contain the above dedication, the signatures of the preliminary matter being, on each leaf:—(blank), *2, **, (blank), forming one gathering of 4 leaves of a natural kind, though the double asterisk is odd. The original French bore the title “Traicté auquel sont examinez les preiugez de ceux de l’Eglise Romaine. Contre la Religion Reformee” (La Rochelle, 1617.) Cameron was a Scotchman, minister at Bordeaux and Professor of Theology at Saumur. The address to the reader apologises for using the word prejudice as a translation of the French Preiugé, which means a preconceit either good or bad: and says “I have not construed but translated.”

Impr. 58: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. 36: p. 11 beg. more diuelish: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title, within arched border: 2, the text, Deut. xxxii. 26–28: 3–36, the sermon.

Impr. 60 (with “Excubebant”): 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. viii + 40: p. 11 beg. latet ad: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) Latin dedication to Robert lord Dormer, dated “Exon: Coll: ex Musæo meo d. 8. Martij ... 1626” i.e. 1625/6: 1–44 (“40”), the sermon, on 1 Sam. xiv. 26.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 273. The “P. T.” of the title seems to be Pro Tempore: the use of 1626 for 1625 or 1625 6 is noticeable.

Impr. 60: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. [14] + 366: p. 11 beg. & ult., 111 mitia celebramus: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p.

Quæstiones ...”, 10 of each: 1–366, the 10 lectiones delivered in successive Comitia 1616–1625.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267. I have not seen even any notice of the first edition. These Lectiones are quite distinct from the Orationes below. See 1627 P.

Impr. 64: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + 196 + 28: pp. 11 beg. lia est terebrans, and de vita Mosis, 111 randum. Verum: English Roman. Contents:—p.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267. The names of the doctors are given for each year.

Impr. 53: 1626: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 220 [“221”, 129 being omitted] + [2]: p. 11 beg. sapientis principis, 111 Quo jure?: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) Latin dedication to the duke of Suffolk: 1-“221” the treatise.

See 1631 F, 1636 F, 1662, 1678. The printer says that he has cleared this edition from the errors of Froben’s. I have seen a copy in which the type of pages 12 and 13 has changed places. The work is an apology for Christianity.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 243. The (inaugural) oration contains some details about Fell’s predecessor in the professorship, dr. Seb. Benefield: the two pieces would seem to have been delivered in 1626 and 1626 7.

The author was George Hakewill. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 256, where “Lond.” is a mistake for “Oxford”: for other edd. see 1630 H, 1635 H.

Forraine coynes ...”: 1–807, (1–2), the work: (3) “Errata”. Before p. 7 should come a folded leaf, as in the 2nd ed. (1625).

See 1621 H, Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 557. In the copy seen on p. (2) at the end of the book, in the original printing of the English lines beginning “But whither goeth”, l. 6 (beg. “Into safe”) is before l. 4, making nonsense: and a corrected reprint of the whole 12 lines is pasted over the faulty original.

Rare, see 1589 R. Of bp. Rider’s double lexicon the first part at least (English-Latin) was published at Oxford in 1589. In 1606 Francis Holyoke supplied a Latin-English part (based on Rider’s Index) and published both at London. Subsequent edd. of the two parts together are Lond. 1617, Lond. 1626 (ed. N. Gray), the present one Oxf. 1627, Lond. 1633 (called the 4th), Lond. 1640 (called the 5th), Lond. 1649, Lond. 1659, (acc. to Bohn’s Lowndes, s.v. Rider, where however since 1637 is an error for 1627, this 1659 may be one for 1649), and, edited by Thomas Holyoke son of Francis, Lond. 1677.
