Gosson having replied to Lodge in his Plays Confuted, &c. Lodge, in the Epistle before his Alarum against Usurers answered Gosson and defended himself from the personal attack made upon him. This circumstance gives a peculiar value to this tract. Barnabe Rich in his laudatory verses aims an etymological blow at Gosson :

“ Thou needst not fear Goose-sonne or Gander's hisse." 1373 LODGE's (Thomas) Rosalynde, Euphues golden legacie :

found after his death in his Cell at Silexedra. Bequeathed to Philautus sonnes noursed up with their father in England, Fetcht from the Canaries by T. L. Gent. First Edition four leaves are supplied in MS. in a

very old hand.

Imprinted by T. Orwin for T. G. and John Busbie, 1590 *** The first Edition of the novel on which As You Like It is founded, and which, as is well known, Shakespeare has very closely followed.

In the later reprints the title of “Rosalynde" is dropped. This impression is

extremely rare. 1374 PhilliS; HONOURED WITH PASTORALL SONNETS,

ELEGIES, and ainorous delights, Where-unto is annexed
the tragicall complaynt of Elstred.
Printed for John Busbie, and are to be solde at his

shoppe at the West-doore of Paules, 1593 *** “ No other copy is known except that in Capel's Collection at Trinity College Cambridge, which wants the Title. Sonnet XV. is to be found in England's Helicon, (p. 51.) Sign. E 3, 8vo. edit. with the Signatures S. E. D. which is erroneous, if, as is generally understood, it implies Sir Edw. Dyer, it is thence copied into Ellis's Specimens with Sir E. Dyer's name. The two following pieces are also to be found in the Phenix nest among sixteen signed T. L. Gent.

H. 3. An Ode; “ Now I finde," p. 54. MS. note by Mr. Heber. In the “ Induction” Lodge pays a tribute to Spencer under the Designation of " Learned Colin," and to Daniel as “ Delia's Sweet Prophet.” Daniel's Delia was twice printed in the year preceding the appearance of

Lodge's Phillis. 1375 A fig for Momus, containing Pleasant varietie, in

colns Inne Gent.

Printed for Clement Knight and are to bee solde at his

shop at the little North doore of Paules Church, 1595. *** Extremely rare.

It may be worth remark that the Auchinleck reprint is full of variations, and that one line

is entirely omitted. See also MS. note by Mr. Heber. 1376 Lodge's (Thomas) Wits Miserie and the Worlds Mad

nesse, indifferent copy, and the two first leaves are supplied in MS.

Printed by Adam Islip, 1596 1377 The Divel conjured, title mended,

Printed by Adam Islip for William Mats, 1596 *** The Dedication and Address are only signed T. L. but there is no doubt that this tract was the production of Thomas Lodge. He published his Fig for Momus in the same year, and he probably alludes to it here as one of “ the weeds of his wit.” This is a production of very considerable and abstruse learning on Alchymy, Magic, &c.

but the Author has treated the subject very pleasantly. 1378 A Treatise of the Plague, containing the nature, signes, and accidents of the same, &c.

Printed for Edward White and N. L. 1603 Thomas Lodge was at first a player, then a soldier, next a sailor, afterwards a lawyer, and finally a Physician. In the latter capacity he obtained great celebrity, and he is mentioned by T. Heywood in 1609 as one of the famous Physicians of the day. He dates from Warwick Lane, where the old College of Physicians now stands. This tract was written during the prevalence of the Pestilence, when

James I. came to the Crown. 1379 Euphues Golden Legacie, &c.

Imprinted for John Smethwick, 1612 This is probably the third impression of Lodge's Rosalynde,” and here it takes the title of “ Euphues Golden Legacie.” In no other respect, excepting in literal

variations, does it differ from the first edition of 1590. 1380 London. King Charles his Augusta, or City Royal. Of
