"This first Edition of Roy's Severe poetical Satire against Wolsey and the Romish Priesthood is of extreme rarity. Wolsey bought up and destroyed the copies, as we learn from the Dedication of the second Edition, printed at Wesell in 1546. 'This boke was printed in the Cardinal hys time, whiche when he had harde that it was done he caused a certayne man (whom I could name if I lusted) to buy them all uppe.' In the second edition the personalities, and the allusions to the vices of the Clergy, were so softened and generalised, that the wit and poignancy of the first edition are frequently lost. Roy was an ecclesiastic, he resided some time with Tindal, and was one of the Translators of the New Testament, printed at Hamburgh or Antwerp in 1526." MS. note.

[blocks in formation]

IV. MANUSCRIPT, (Latine Tantum.) The Atlas.

Together Eight Volumes.

In consequence of a fire which occurred at Upsal in May, 1702, complete copies of this work are of great rarity, for in this fire nearly all the copies of vol. III. and all except ten of vol. IV. (see Ebert. p. 1609) as far as printed, namely to p. 210, were destroyed, and of these ten, only five can at present be traced, viz. in the University Library, Upsal; the Royal Library at Stockholm; the Library of the Academy of Science at Stockholm; the Library of Count de Brahe of Skokloster, near Upsal; and the Library of the University at Lund in Sweden.

The copy now under notice has the Testimonia to the various volumes, the directions to the binder, the Index to Vol. III. and is, with the exception of not possessing the printed portion of vol. IV., as complete as it is possible for the work to be, and more so than any other copy yet described, by its possessing the Edition of the first volume printed at Upsal in 1696, which is an improvement of the Latin version of that part of the work, and appears to have escaped the notice of all Bibliographers. An ample collation and account of the three vols. and the Fragment of the fourth, will be found in Brunet and Ebert. The edition of vol. I. printed in 1696, not being generally known, the collation is here given.

First the engraved Frontispiece, representing a part of the Globe, with a Genealogical Tree, similar to that found in vols. I. s. a. and 1675. On the reverse of the Title will be found Rudbeck's address, commencing "Clarissime Vereli, in paucis dilecte," which, with the address "Lectori Benevolo" makes three pages. Then signatures A. to Qq. in fours, Rr. two, on the reverse of the last of which is the wood cut of the Pen and Sword with a border, the same as that in the first edition of vol. I. Sign. E e is by mistake printed E f. See also De Bure, vol. VI. p. 234-242,

and Meuselius, vol. I. i. 366.
