shewed the picture of London, lying sicke of the Plague. At the ende of all (like a mery Epilogue to a dull Play) certaine Tales are cut out in sundry fashions, of purpose to shorten the lives of long winters nights, that lye watching in the darke for us.

Printed by Thomas Creede, n. d.

This tract principally consists of an account of the Plague in 1603. At the back of the address to the Reader is an apology for the insertion of certain stories at the end relating to parties who might object to their appearance in print.

The Batchelars Banquet; or a Banquet for Batchelars; Wherein is prepared sundry dainties to furnish their Table, curiously drest and seriously served in. Pleasantly discoursing the variable humours of Women, their quicknesse of Wittes, and unsearchable deceits, in russia.

Printed by T. C. and are to be solde by T. P. 1603 *** The object of this tract is highly laudable, viz. to make Bachelors content with their solitary condition. It is in many parts very humorous, but though it has always been assigned to Dekker it may be doubted whether it is his, especially as his popular name is not upon the title page, nor his initials to be found in any part of the work.

A Knights Conjuring. Done in earnest: Discovered in Jest, Printed by T. C. for William Barley, n. d. **The dedication to this rare and singular tract exposes the practice of the time in thus obtaining money from those who did not object to figure in the fore-fronts of ephemeral publications. The Knight mentioned in the title page was a Knight of the Post, or a person hired to swear to any fact required to be proved by affidavit. Dekker was sometimes an imitator of the style of Nash, and this is not an unhappy specimen. The death of Nash is noticed in Chap. VI.

560 DEKKER (T.) The Dead Tearme, or Westminsters Complaint for long Vacations and short Termes, written in manner of a Dialogue betweene the two Cityes London and Westminster, russia, Printed by John Hodgets, 1608 *** The origin of this pamphlet was the reappearance of the Plague in London, and it may be said to form a Sequel to Dekker's Tract called "the Wonderful Year," which was printed during the Plague of 1603. It is Dedicated to Sir John Harington, the Translator of Ariosto.

561

The Belman of London bringing to light the most notorious Villanies that are now Practised in the Kingdome. Profitable for Gentlemen, Lawyers, &c. The Second Impression, with wood cut on the title,

Printed for Nathaniel Butter, 1608. *** “I have compared this edition with that of 1612, (in my possession,) which corresponds exactly, except that six pages of introductory matter are prefixed, and four pages of canting are subjoined, entitled Operis Peroratio." Note by Mr. Heber. There were at least three editions of this tract in the first year of its appearance, 1608.

562

O per se O. or A new Cryer of Lanthorne and Candle-light being an Addition, or Lengthening, of the Bellmans Second Night Walke, &c.

*

Printed for John Busbie, 1612 ** "Another edition of this book (see the following Lot) was printed for John Busby in 1616, entitled, "Villanies discovered by Lanthorne and Candle Light, and the helpe of a New Cryer, called, O per se O," &c. On comparing it with the present one, I find it is increased by the addition of a whole Section "Of a Prison" occupying six Chapters, inserted immediately after Chap. XII of this Edition. The Essay on Canting, which here commences the Work, is there transposed so as to precede O per se O, which is slightly curtailed in the opening, and enlarged with three new Canting Songs at the End. The Address at the beginning of the Volume is somewhat shortened and altered, and "The Bellman's Cry" (sixteen lines in verse with a plate above) is added on the back of the title."

"In 1638 a New Edition (apparently the 8th) was printed by M. Parsons with the following title, " English Villanies Seven Severall times prest to death by the printers, but still reviving againe, are now the eigth time, as at the first, discovered by Lanthorne and Candle light, and the help of a New Cryer, called O per se O," The difference between this and Edition 1616, which it mainly resembles, I have noticed in the blank leaf before my copy of that Edition."

"Edition 1620 is an exact reprint of Edition 1616."
