An Epigram in the first tract

in this vol. shews that on days when bears were baited at

Paris Garden they hung out a flag as at theatres when plays were performed. The allusions to Marlow's Play, to Nash's Supplication of Pierce Penniless, and to other works of the time, are worth noting.

The second tract contains an elaborate picture of a London Courtezan :

"She Lady-like frequents the Maskes at Court,

Where all the gallant hot-spurres doe resort." &c. &c. 2825 TUSSER (THOMAS). A Hundreth good poyntes of husbandry lately maried unto a hundreth good poyntes of huswifry, black letter, in ad. Ric. Tottelli, 1562

* "Probably the Second Edition. The first appeared in 1557, by Tottell: the only known copy is in the British Museum. The present copy wants the last leaf.” 2826 A hundreth good pointes of Husbandry lately maried unto a Hundreth good poynts of Huswifery, fine copy, excessively rare from the Bibl. Anglo-Poetica. At the commencement of the volume are several annotations by Park, a letter from Ritson to him, and vindication of Warton by Park. In ædibus Richardi Tottylli, 1570 A hundrethe good points of husbandrie, lately maried unto a hundrethe good points of Huswifry newly corrected and amplified with dyvers proper lessons for housholders, &c.

Five hundreth points of good husbandry united to as many of good huswiferie, black letter, fine copy, Imprinted by Rychard Tottell, 1577 Five hundred pointes of good Husbandrie mixed in everie Month with Huswiferie, very rare,

Imprinted by Henrie Denham, 1580 ***This copy formerly belonged to Gabriel Harvey, and has his Autograph, "Gabriel Harvey xvIII. August 1580," and many curious MS. notes by him, of which take the following specimen. "Tusser in a manner such a Husband as Agrippa was, an artist or Machiavel, a politique, all three able to instruct others, but unable to prefer or benefit themselves: chiefly for want of a good foundation, none of them being substantially grounded either for private wealth or publique Creddit without which few florish or prosper in the World."

FIVE HUNDRETH POINTES of good Husbandrie as well for the Champion, or Open countrie as also for the

Woodland or Severall, &c. Newlie set foorth by Thomas

Capilli curis semicani, ex Officina Valent. Sims, 1598, in 1 vol.

*** See Mr. Heber's note of the prices which copies have fetched. A very rare and entertaining production. The author justifies his adoption of a trifling subject by the example of Sir J. Harrington, who two years before had published his Metamorphosis of Ajax, "I say nothing of Misacmos, who descended from Ela to the Base Keys that open the Priuie doore," Addr. to the Reader. The allusion to the ballad of George a-Greene might be added to those collected in the late reprint of Greene's workes. 2832 Urchard's (Sir Thomas) Epigrams Divine and Moral, with portrait by Glover, extremely rare,

Printed for William Leake, 1646

These are not epigrams so much as moral reflections; they are generally just, and extremely well worded. 2833 Urquhart's (Sir T.) Introduction to the Universal Lan

2835 VAGHANE (ROBERT).

Thus endeth the Fawcon and the Pye. Anno dni 1542. Imprynted by me Robert Wyer for Rycharde Banckes. *** A poem of extreme rarity. It has been assigned by Ritson, and by Dr. Dibdin after him, to Robert Vaghane or Vaughan, but he expressly tells us that a friend put it into his hand, and requested him to get it printed, and to bear the brunt of criticism.

"I wolde, sayde he, yf it your pleasure were

That you wolde vouchsave, at my hande to take This lytell smale volume, your name for to bere Whose fantasye with faynynge, is set for to make.” At the end of the dialogue between the Falcon and the Pye, Robert Vaghane adds some poems not inelegant for the time, avowedly his own.

The

"Gawin Douglas began his translation of the Æneid in January 1512, and finished it, together with the supplement, written by Maphæus Vegius, in July 1513. completion of such a poem in eighteen months, at a time when no metrical version of a classic (excepting Boethius) had yet appeared in English, is really astonishing; for the work is executed with equal fidelity and spirit, and is farther recommended by many beautiful specimens of original poetry, which under the name of Prologues, are prefixed to each of the thirteen books." Ellis's Specimens of the Early English Poets, vol. 1, p. 393.
