copy among the Harleian Pamphlets. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. i. 753. The speech was
really delivered on March 12, not February, 1603

Tower. The speech describes the Tower as mint, armoury, jewel-house, &c. It is reprinted

See 1613. A. This controversy about the Descent into Hell began with the manuscript (?) objections referred to in the title: then came this book (which is anonymous, but confessed by the author in his Apologie, see below), followed by (1) [Andrew Willett’s] Limbomastix, that is a Canuise of Limbus Patrum (published without the author’s knowledge), with a reply to the Brief answere (Lond. 1604); then (2) by an interminable rejoinder by Richard Parkes (An Apologie, Lond. 1607, of which the first part is a revised issue of the Brief Answer,) answered by Willett’s Loidoromastix: that is a scourge for a rayler (Cambr. 1607). The Brief Answer holds the orthodox opinion of the “local descension of Christ’s soul to Hell.”

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii 466. and 1620. J. The catalogue includes also the MSS. then in the Library. In the dedication the “Bibliotheca Bodleiana” is stated to be not yet four years old, having been formally opened on 8 Nov. 1602. The preface gives an interesting account of the early history of the Library. In the pagination a leaf is omitted after p. 426, but “457” follows “450”: the total number of pages is no doubt 726 (signn. ¶ A-Y4 Z2, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Zzz, Aaaa-Xxxx4 ( )1), so that Upcott (English Topography, iii. p. 1122, Lond. 1818) is wrong. Other editions of the complete catalogue of Bodleian printed books were issued at Oxford in 1620, 1674, 1738 and 1843, and one of the MSS. in 1697.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. i. 758. These two treatises on the moral state of England are printed without list of contents, index or even division into paragraphs. No one but the author and compositor can have ever read them, and the former had been insane, though according to Wood he recovered his powers.

The poems, which are all except one (Greek) in Latin, are by New College men and edited by William Kingsmill of New College, a nephew of Warcop, who was himself at Ch. Ch. The device on the titlepage bears the arms of New College, between W. W. (William of Wykeham).

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 472. The word “Latin” on the title seems to be a mistake for “French,” see 1604. S, to which this is a sort of appendix.

The preface alludes to “my two bookes,” the other being “A discourse plainely proving the euident vtilitie and vrgent necessitie of the ... Vnion of ... England and Scotland ...” (Lond., 1604, sm. 4o), which latter was the subject of a remonstrance of the House of Commons to the House of Lords, 26 May 1604, ending in an apology on the part of the author. There is nothing but Wood’s express statement (Ath. Oxon. iii. 5) to settle whether this book was published at the close of 1604 or in 1605: so that statement has been accepted. Otherwise it would seem that the two books were not long separated in point of time. Both were reprinted at London in 1641.

Impr. 11: 1606: (eights?) 12o?.
Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections at the British Museum, but no doubt other copies exist. Probably a reprint of the first edition, Lugd. Bat. 1604, 4o.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 471. No copy of the first impression, which may have been printed at Oxford in 1603 or 1604, has yet been seen. There is no allusion to this being a second edition, in the preface.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 201. The “Petition” came out in “September last” (1606?).
2. Cleland, James. ΗΡΩ-ΠΑΙΔΕΙΑ, | OR | THE INSTITVTION OF A | YOVNG NOBLE MAN, | By | James Cleland. | [device.]
Impr. 7: 1607: sm. 4o: pp. [16] + “271” (really 269, for 249–50 are omitted in the pagination) + [3]: p. 11 beg. the first booke, 111 fained voice: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within lines: (3–4) dedication to prince Charles: (5–8) “To the Noble Reader”: (9) “The Subiect and Order of these six Bookes”: (15) some errata, with introductory note: (16) dedication of the preface and book 1 to lord Hay: 1–10 the preface: 11–271, the work in six books each with a dedication, see below.
See 1612 C, which is simply a reissue with new titlepage. The author recommends a nobleman to go to no University, but to Prince Henry’s Court or Academy at Nonsuch. The 2nd book is dedicated to Thomas Mourray, tutor to prince Charles: the 3rd to George earl of Essex, son of the marquess of Huntly: the 4th to sir John Harington, son of lord Harington: the 5th to mr. Francis Stewart Master of Mourray, and to mr. John Stewart son of the duke of Lennox: the 6th to Robert earl of Essex. The author was not an Oxford man, nor, apparently, connected with the place in any way.

Impr. 11: 1607: sm. 4o: pp. [24] + 124: p. 11 beg. Num laqueus, 111 mus Deum: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) dedication to the king and parliament: (4–7) “Præfatio ad Lectorem ...,” signed “Thomas Cooper”: (8–23) “Præludia ad Nonas,” short poems by Cooper: (23) “Errata ...”: 1–124, the work.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 612, Fasti i. 285, but the identity of the author appears to be still quite uncertain. The work is a rhetorical commentary, almost a sermon, on the Gunpowder Plot of 5 Nov. 1605: but seems to afford no clue to the connexion of the author with Oxford.
4. D[unster], I[ohn]. A | PROTESTATION A-|GAINST POPERY BY | way of a Confession of Christian | Religion collected for the benefit | of private friends. | [two mottos: then woodcut.]
Impr. 2: 1607: eights, 12o: pp. [2] + 38: p. 11 beg. of his transgression: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–38, the treatise, signed on last page “I. D.”, followed by a short poem “To the reader” signed “Roger Knight.”
See 1609 D, and for the author Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 142. The poem on p. 38 explains that the work was written “some time agoe” “for priuate vse.” The Bodleian Catalogue (perhaps following Draudius’s Bibliotheca Exotica, Frankf. 1625, p. 293) ascribes this book to John Dunster, but Wood did not know the author.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. One of the Bodleian copies (4o A. 64 Th.) has a MS. list by James of 26 presentation copies, out of 78 copies “receaued of Mr. Joseph [Barnes?] ... 30 Jul”, and some private opinions and suggestions about the book. The preface explains that if this instalment was well received, the author intended to proceed to similar publications for the rest of the Bible.

Impr. 11: 1607: sm. 4o: pp. [34], signn. A-D4, ( )1: sign. B 1r beg. profero clarâ: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1r title: A 2r-A 2v, dedication to dr. Tho. Holland, signed “Jo. Prideaux”: A 3r-B 3v “In Isocratis Busiridem de Græcæ linguæ studio, Præfatio”: B 4r-D 4v “Grammatices Græcæ. Σχεδάρια.”, the work in six sections: ( ) 1r “Conclusio ad Lectorem,” and short epigram.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 267 where the date 1608 may be an error for 1607: and
1629 P, 1639 P, both of which edd. supply the date of the dedication as “1 Jan.
1607 = 1607
8,” but are otherwise apparently simply reprints. The dedication declares
that the work was due to the suggestion of dr. Holland, and done in the last Whitsuntide
holidays (1606).

The visit of the King was from 27 to 30 Aug. 1605. The author says he wrote the account at the actual time of the visit. The oration was also printed at Oxford in 1608, and in English in Fuller’s Abel Redivivus.
