the monkey added to the portrait of Elizabeth Cromwell would be a more proper appendage to that of her husband Oliver, if the story told by Audley, brother to the famed Civilian of that name, from the Rev. Dr. Lort's MSS. be true-it is as follows: "His very infancy was marked with a peculiar accident that seemed to threaten the existence of the future Protector; for his grandfather, Sir Henry Cromwell, having sent for him to Hinchinbrook, when an infant in arms, a monkey took him from the cradle, and ran with him upon the lead that covered the roofing of the house; alarmed at the danger Oliver was in, the family brought beds to catch him upon, fearing the creature's dropping him; but the sagacious animal brought the 'fortune of England' down in safety: so narrow an escape had he, who was doomed to be the conqueror and sovereign magistrate of three mighty nations, from the paws of a monkey." Fuller's (T) Worthies of England. Folio. 1662. With Portrait of Fuller by Loggan. Value about 107. 10s.-Mr. Malone bought Stevens's copy, containing MS. Notes by Oldys and Thoresby, and Stevens's own additions, for 431. This book is so incorrectly printed as frequently to leave a doubt as to its being perfect. The following are directions for ascertaining a perfect copy, on collation, left in MS. by a person whose whole life was directed to such pursuits. Page 30-33, wrong, but the catchword right, viz. Chap. 42, catchword wrong: 2 Even done, should be of. Page 70-73, paged wrong: catchword right, viz. Chap. 144-149, paged wrong: catchword right, viz.

Pages 167, 167, wrong paged and wrong catchword; against, should be well. 198, 199, catchword wrong; but should be and. Page 232, last page of the Worthies of England. Then follows the Principality of Wales, which begins the paging anew. Page 40, 41, catchword Merioneth wrong, should be Glamorganshire. 48, 49, catchword wrong; Merioneth should be Monmouth. 60, last page of the Worthies of Wales. Then should follow the Index, 12 pages, which was not printed with the book. N. B. In some copies the catchword at page 300 is Essex, and in others Pembroke, but the pages go from 300 to 317. There were two editions of the book; viz. London: printed by J. W. L. and W. G. for Thos. Williams, and are to be sold at the sign of the Bible in Little Brittain. 1662. London: printed by J. G. W. L. and W. G. 1662. There has been a reprint of Fuller's Worthies, with Notes, by J. Nichols. 2 vols. 4to. published at 57. 5s. Lond. 1811. Fuller's Church History of Britain, from the Birth of Christ till 1648. Folio. 1655. A copy in the Merly collection sold for 81. 88. Should have the following plates: Arms of the Knights and Monks of Ely, page 168. Two plates of Litchfield Cathedral, one by Hollar, the other by Vaughan, at page 174.

Frontispiece by Vaughan of the Author, with his right hand on a book, and Portraits on the letter-press. At page 440 Life of Bishop Andrews and Portrait, 10 leaves, concluding with Finis. Page 441 to 599 follow and finish the volume.* * See Granger, vol. ii. p 171, and Censura Literaria, vol. i. p. 311. According to the Epistle to the Reader, "The most part of the Poetry was done by Master Quarles, father and son, sufficiently known for their abilities therein. The rest the Stationer got transcribed out of Mr. Holland and other Authors." Besides the preceding works, Fuller was author of the History of the Holy War. 1640. Folio. Pisgah Sight of Palestine and the Confines thereof, with the History of the Old and New Testament: and numerous other less celebrated productions. The best impressions of Fuller's Portrait are, I believe, usually found prefixed to the Pisgah sight. Fuller's memory is said to have been so retentive, that he could repeat a sermon verbatim after once hearing it; and on a day walking from Temple Bar to the end of Cheapside, he mentioned all the signs on both sides of the way either backwards or forwards, (no slight task in those days.) It is said that he once travelled with a friend of the name of Sparrow-Hawk, and he could not but ask him jocosely what was the difference between an owl and a sparrow-hawk. "The difference is very great," replied his companion, eyeing his corpulent person with a smile, " for it is Fuller in the head, fuller in the body, and fuller all over." Bussy Rabutin (Roger) Histoire Amoureuse des Gaules. 12mo. Sans date. Liege. Ditto. 12mo. Liege. 1665. Ditto. 5 tom. 12mo. Paris. 1754. This latter edition, in addition to the original work, contains many pieces analogous to it. The original work caused its author an eighteen months' residence in the Bastile, from whence he was only released to become an exile for 17 years on his own estate. He had entrusted his manuscript to his intimate friend the Marchioness of Beaume, who having fallen out with him, had it printed out of spite. Les Oeuvres de Jean Bapt. Pocquelin de Moliere. 5 tom. Small 12mo. Amsterdam. 1675. This uncommon little edition, to which is often added Vie de Moliere, Amst. 1705, which forms a 6th volume, ranks with the Elzevir collection, and has sold in France for 130 francs, and in London, at the sale of Amos Strettell, Esq. 1820, the 6 vols. bound in morocco, for 47. 15s. In this edition the Festin de Pierre of Corneille, in verse, is included, instead of that of Moliere; the 5th volume terminates with L'Ombre de Moliere petite Comedie. The edition of Moliere, 6 tom. 12mo. Wetstein, Amsterdam, 1691, is somewhat remarkable, as containing the noted Scene of Don Juan and the Mendicant, tom. iii. p. 38, and which Brunet says, he has met with in no edition of Moliere printed in France earlier than 1817, with the exception of a single copy of the Oeuvres Posthumes, tom. vii. Paris, 1682. This scene was suppressed on the 2d representation of the Festin de Pierre to quell the clamours which it excited against the Author, by the too strong colours perhaps with which he had depicted the reasoning villainy of his hero. The following is the passage as given by Bret in his edition of Moliere. Don Juan meets a beggar in the Forest, of whom he asks how he passes his life? who answers- "A prier Dieu pour les honnêtes gens qui me donnent l'aumône. Tu passes ta vie à |
