This copy accurately corresponds with the above description, except that it has in addition, a folio leaf surrounded by two black borders, on the recto of which is a Latin Epitaph upon Lord Hastings by Philip Kindar, author of an English Poem to his memory.

Dryden's poem was written while he was a scholar at Westminster School; the following remarks occur in the Memoirs of Burke, Europ. Mag. July 1797. "If we did not know the early productions of Dryden, judging of them by the merits of his maturer day, what should we not imagine we had lost? But knowing

what they are, how trifling they appear by comparison: The early works of ingenious men, however, are far from being incurious: Dryden's Poem to the Memory of Henry Lord Hastings, with all its false metaphors, gross images, and hobbling rhymes, shews an excursive fancy, and some latent traits of genius bursting to come forward; but above all, it shews what the powers of application and experience in the aid of genius will do, when the same author, even in his old age, could produce such a sublime poem as the Ode on St. Cecilia's Day."

A wood cut engraving of the Fleur de Lys of France and the Rose of England, with a hand issuing from each and grasped together, has these non-prophetic lines underneath:

Iusqu' a la fin du Mond la lys Francoise

After the title is a prose address, subscribed William Baldwin, "To the nobilitye and all other in office, God graunt wisedome and all thinges nedeful for the preseruacion of theyr Estates;" this is followed by "A Briefe Memorial," in which are detailed some particulars respecting the origin of the work.

The present is the first edition of the first portion of a work which sheds a lustre upon the Annals of English Poetry. The original model was Lydgate's paraphrastic translation of Bocace "De Casibus Virorum Illustrium," but the primary former of the plan, as it now appears, was Thomas Sackville the first Lord Buckhurst, and first Earl of Dorset, who was also the author of the first genuine English Tragedy, and of whom a portrait adorns this article: He had leisure only to write two of the brightest

gems in the collection, the Induction and one Legend, that is the Life of Henry Stafford Duke of Buckingham, but which first appeared in the edition of 1563, although Warton includes them in the contents of the edit. of 1559. The Induction was adapted to the appearance of Buckingham, although this Legend was intended to be the last, and relinquishing the design he recommended the completion of the whole to William Baldwin and George Ferrers, by whom, in conjunction with Churchyard, Phayer, and Skelton, this volume was written: It contains nineteen Legends or Tragedies.

Warton gives the title of this edition, but evidently never saw it, as his detail of the contents includes the eight additional Legends which were added to the following edition.
