THE Bishop of Rochester's kindness has enabled me to describe the following rare Tracts, which came into his Lordship's hands bound together, by an accident, and for a very trifle. 1. "THE PILGRIMAGE OF MAN, wandering in a Wilderness of Woe. Wherein is shewed the Calamitie of the new World, and how all the present Estates thereof are crossed with Miserie. A gorgious jemme for gentilitie, That live in golden felicitie. At London. Printed by R. B. 1612." This is in black letter. R. B. appears to be Ralph Blower. 2. Abce. "THE OLIVE LEAFE, or Universall Wherein is set foorth the Creation, Descent and Authoritie of Letters, together with the Estimation, Profit, Affinitie or Declination of them, for the familiar Use of all. Studentes, Teachers and Learners of what Chirogaphy soever most necessarie. By Two Tables, newly and briefly composed, Charac VOL. II. S Charactericall and Syllabicall, Imprinted at London, by W. White, for George Vincent, dwelling in Great Wood Streete, at the Signe of the Hand in Hand, where they are to be sold. 1603." This is a very curious Tract on the subject of a universal alphabet. The Author introduces his little volume with these lines: Farewell my little booke, and tell thy friends 3. "WITS PRIVATE WEALTH. Stored with choice Commodities to content the Minde. London. Printed by Ed. Allde, for John Tappe, and are to be sold at his Shop, upon Tower Hill, neere the Bul-warke Gate. 1607." This is a collection of choice maxims, in the manner of Rochfoucalt, by Nicholas Briton or Breton, who was a celebrated writer at this period, and whose works are now considered as objects of much curiosity and research, by the collectors of early English Literature. They are a little coarse in their diction, as for example: "No preaching in the world will make a Jew a Christian; and a Cutpurse will be at his work when the thiefe is at the gallowes. He that leves his spurres in his horses belly, may sitte doune and sigh when he is wearie with walking." 4. "THE COURT OF GOOD COUNSELL. Wherein is set doune the true Rules how a Man should choose a good Wife from a bad, and a Woman a good Husband from à bad. Wherein is also expressed the great Care that Parents should have for the bestowing of their Children in marriage, and likewise how Children ought to behave themselves towards their Parents, and how Maisters ought to governe their Servants, and how Servants ought to be obedient towards their Maisters. Set forth as a Patterne for all People to learne Wit by. Published by one that hath dearely bought it by Experience. At London. Printed by Raph Blower, and are to be solde by William Barley, at his Shop, in Gratious Streete." |
