To one of the specifications, the name of "Robert Francke" is attached--apparently autograph. This is in connexion with a pledge given by John Butler, depending as it seems upon a wager that he would become a father within a year and a half.-The gold chain of Sir Robert Mansell of Detford, pledged for £300, is elaborately described. 2269 ST.

Amongst them are John Foxe (the martyrologist) and John Florye (the resolute John Florio), Lord Burleigh, the Earl of Leicester, and other famous personages. It is curious that Foxe and Florio, although their names are entered, paid no money in either of the two half years. Lord Burleigh paid 25 shillings on each occasion-more than anyone else; and Leicester 10 shillings. 'O SEXBY (J. J.).

Every rare old print or drawing, illustrative of London topography which he could discover, by the most active and diligent research, was made subservient to his purpose; and of many ancient buildings the engravings contained in these volumes are now the only known records. What adds considerably to the value of the work, is that the letterpress gives extracts from Parish registers and munimental documents not easily accessible elsewhere. 2286 YOUNG (S.).

Sm. 8vo., Gothic Letter; a very fine copy in green morocco extra, marbled under gold edges, by Rivière (Noraich) 1568 COLLATION: -O, in eights; in fours. EXCESSIVELY RARE. One of the earliest books, if not the earliest, printed at Norwich. So rare was it that Cotton in the first volume of his Typographical Gazetteer failed to mention it, though he afterwards discovered one and noted it in his second volume. A Dutch metrical version of the Psalms was produced by Solempne bearing the date of 1568. The claim for priority of issue lies therefore between that volume and the work now offered. The art of printing was introduced into Norwich by Anthony de Solempne about 1568. An emigrant from the Low Countries, he with others, was admitted and encouraged to settle there by Queen Elizabeth. Cotton, who deplores the absence of a genuine volume of early Norwich typography from the press of Solempne in the whole of England, states that in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, be found no fewer than three excellent specimens, which, in his work mentioned above, were for the first time described. 2309 BLOMEFIELD (Francis). 2310 2311 An ESSAY towards a TOPOGRAPHICAL HISTORY of the COUNTY of NORFOLK. 5 vols., folio, with portraits, plates of Churches, Monuments, Seals, etc.; a good tall copy, bound in russia, with the bookplate of William Dunn Gardner Fersfield, Norwich, and Lynn, 1739-75 This copy, like most others, does not contain the Blomefield pedigree, the Monument of Bishop Hall, the dedication to Nuthall, the Plan of Norwich and the references thereto (the last 2 are supposed to exist only in Dawson Turner's copy; there is also deficient the portrait of James Calthorpe, and the West front of Houghton Hall. the celebrated COMERFORD copy. 5 vols., folio, profusely EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with more than 200 ADDITIONAL ENGRAVINGS, comprising rare portraits, plates of arms, etc.; russia extra, by Kalthoeber 1739-75 1 another edition. 11 vols., roy. 8vo., with portraits and many plates; half calf 1805-10 2312 COTMAN (J.
