and this is probably one of Jervis Markham's many productions, stained. 1396 M. (P.) King Charles, His Birthright, Edinburgh by J. Wreittoun, 1633 1397 M. (S.) The Heavenly Passenger, or the Pilgrims Progress from this World to that which is to come, newly done into Verse, 1398 M. (T.) THE BLACKE Booke, 1687 Printed by T. C. for Jeffrey Chorlton, 1604 *** A very rare and interesting production, which on the strength of the initials T. M. has been assigned without much probability to Thomas Middleton. From the expression in it of" one of my devils in Dr. Faustus," that T. M. was the author of a play relating to Dr. Faustus; but the fact is that the whole book is supposed to be written by Lucifer and he therefore very properly speaks of" one of my devils.” Nobody has noticed the allusion to Shakespeare's As You Like It, and the Marriage of Touchstone and Audrey, on the rev. of Sign. B. 4, but the reference to Heywood's play and to the Merry Devil of Edmunton in Sign. E. 3, has been pointed out. Tract is full of Illustrations of this and other kinds, and is founded upon the publication of Nash's Pierce Penneless, and the supposed receipt of the Supplication by Lucifer, green morocco. The 1399 M. (T.). The Silkewormes and their Flies; lively described in verse, by T. M. a Countrie Farmar, and an apprentice in Physicke. For the great benefit and enriching of England, fine copy, in morocco, with joints and borders of gold, by C. Lewis, very rare, Printed by V. S. for Nicholas Ling and are to be sold at his shop at the West ende of Paules, 1599 *** A much more able and interesting production than the title would indicate. The author, whoever he might be, was a man of taste and learning. He tells us that he was in Italy in 1579, so that he was probably far from young when this poem was published. Some have supposed that his name was Moffat. The didactic part of the work is most agreeably diversified. 1400 Machivil. The Uncasing of Machivils Instructions to his Sonne. With the Answere to the same, (in verse) part of title wanting, Printed for Thomas Bushell, 1613 With a wood cut of a singular 1401 MACHIVELLS DOGGE. kind of Dog, Printed by Barnard Alsop for Richard Higgenbotham and are to be solde at his shop at the signe of the Cardinals Hatte, neere St. Sepulchres Church, 1617 Extremely rare. An amusing rambling poem, of a satirical turn by an acute observer. The allusions are numerous and sometimes not very intelligible, as Sign. C. "Tell Captaine Tospot with his Tarletons cut His swaggering will not get him sixeteene pence." Which refers no doubt to some peculiarity of Tarlton the famous Clown and Jester. Also And tell the Hobby horse he is an Asse, 1762 1402 Macpherson's Ossian, with some MS. Corrections, 1403 Maffæus (I. Peter) Fuga Sæculi, or The Holy Hatred of the World.

He begynneth an interlocucyon, with an argument betwyxt man and woman and whiche of thein could proue to be most excellent, fine copy, in blue morocco, by Lewis. 1405 * ** This poem has no colophon but Wynkyn de Worde's device at the end. It was unknown to Herbert and Dr. Dibdin's description was derived from this copy. It is probably, like many similar tracts of this time, a translation from the French, and the words "La femme replique" before one of the speeches, tends to establish the fact. The author feigns, that as he was walking under the shade of trees, he overheard the contention between a man and woman, as to the comparative excellency of the two sexes. The references and examples on both sides are chiefly scriptural. The woman has the last word, so that the author has so far adhered to nature. 1407 Manlove's (Edw.)

M. for Richard Hawkins, 1629 1417 *** The MS. notes in this copy of Hero and Leander 1629, are very remarkable, with reference to the History of Marlow. In them we are told that he was an Atheist ; that he was stabbed at about thirty, swearing; that he had a friend at Dover, whom he made an Atheist, but who was obliged to recant, &c. At the back of the title-page is a Latin Epitaph on Sir Roger Manwood, by Marlow, which has never been printed. At the end of the second Sestiad we are told in a MS. note that Marlow wrote no more upon the subject. Another Edition, fine copy, in red morocco. Printed by N.

The Quinze Joies de Mariage is a comparatively common book, in the original language. The translator is unknown, but he states that he was old and unmarried. Many of the wood cuts were used by Wynkyn de Worde and Copland for other books, beautiful copy, in green morocco. 1420 MARRIAGE. HERE BEGYNNETH THE COMPLAYNTE OF 1421 THEM THAT BEN TO LATE MARYED. **There is no date to this poem, but the rhiming "Better it is in youth a wyfe for to take And be dampned in hell with the foule fende." The above passage is misquoted in the account of this piece, in the new edition of Ames, the only known copy of which seems to be the present. From the turn of phrase, and the use of such words as "fenesters," "volenty," caduc," &c. it was, without doubt, a translation from the French of the Complainte of the Trop tard mariés.
