(979) Maine, £12 5s. [This work was probably never published, as there is no title-page. It was evidently printed in 1587 or 1588, as the various poems relate entirely to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. The author, who is extremely bitter against Queen Elizabeth, affixes to several of the poems various initials. A few MS. corrections occur in the volume, which was formerly in the Libri collection. It appears to be the only one which has been offered for sale. S. B., No. 153.- Catalogue.]

[One of the earliest and also one of the rarest printed documents recorded by Lowndes as relating to Scottish History; it yields to none for its extreme rarity and interest. Mr. Grenville noted in his copy now in the British Museum, and wanting the title-page: "I have not heard of any copy of the original Declaration being extant except the present." It was reprinted with an assumed title taken from Lowndes' description. S. B., No. 2.—Catalogue.]

["The text ends with 'Fin de livre premier,' but no more was issued. The author of this famous satire on the Guises was Louis Regnier de la Planche, under the pseudonym of F. de l'Isle.

It contains some singular notices of Sir Francis Drake and Sir Richard Grenville, described as pirates and robbers, also of Mary Queen of Scots, Henry VIII., Anne Boleyn, and many other notable persons of the time, S. B., No. 184. Mr. Scott, in his Bibliography, No. 159, remarks of the other volume: "This is the first publication regarding Queen Mary's death issued by the Roman Catholic party. It was no doubt prepared in England, as stated in the title, but it does not appear to be a translation of any known work in the English language. It is of some rarity in this form."--Catalogue.] 2242 Rosso (Raviglio). I Successi d' Inghilterra dopo la Morte di Odoardo Sesto fino alle giunta in quel Regno del Sereniss.
