A. O. II. 455. A book (says Wood) of much wit and mirth, and con-

author, the son of Sir Henry Foulis, had been brought up in that sect.
It was so popular, indeed, with the Royalists, that they chained it to
the desks in churches and public places to be read by the vulgar.

which he clothes fine thoughts in beautiful language." (Southey.)

accurate but credulous man, was probably' Parson of Deale.' In
subsequent editions, after expunging from it's dedication the passages
in honour of Fairfax, the remainder was dexterously converted into
a preface; and the Twenty-second Chapter, as containing particu-
lars relative to the artifices used by the 'Papalins' to convert the
Writer, totally omitted. It was, afterward, printed separately-as
usual. Southey informs us, that part of the book is transcribed.

"The History of Guiccardini is still scared with the merciless wound of the Papistic Censor; for Le Clerc informs us, that a curious account of the Origin and Increase of Papal Power is wanting in the Third and Fourth Book." (D'Israeli). So Camden declared, that he was not suffered to print all his Annals: Lord Herbert's Henry VIII. has never been given according to the original: in Lord Brook's Poems the first twenty pages, containing a Poem on Religion, was cancelled by the order of Archbishop Laud; and Sir Matthew Hale (as we are told by Burnet) directed that, instead of printing any Posthuma of his, in which case he anticipated omissions or alterations from the pen of the Licenser, his uncorrupted MSS. should be given to the Society of Lincoln's Inn; hoping, that they were a treasure worth keeping.'

A. O. II. 588. The profound views of this Author, admirably acquainted as he was with every form of government ancient and modern, were derided (says Sir J. Mackintosh) as the ravings of a visionary. Against the Oceana Wren drew up his Monarchy Asserted,' and Baxter his 'Holy Commonwealth'; and at the Restoration H. was ill-treated, in consequence of having written it: yet, by Lord Oxford's desire, it was re-printed! Hume pronounces it "the only valuable model of a Commonwealth, that has ever been offered to the public."

This Work, says Farmer, well deserves reading. Lord Herbert was not only a free thinker, but a free writer: his information was good, and the era particularly interesting. See A. O. II. 167.

It's last chapter contains a 'Discourse and Proofe, that Madoc ap Owen-Gwynned first found out that Continent now called America.' And in page 32 is given an etching by Rembrandt, with a reference to fo. 31, though no corresponding description is there to be found. A few copies of commendatory verses are prefixed, from the pens of Ch. Herbert, Ar. Jonstonus, Dr. Martin Belwood, Walt. O. Quin, and Thomas Lord Fayrfax Baron of Cameron.

In his Examen he professes to prescribe for two patients, Sanderson and Fuller, of whom "the first required no more than an ordinary purge, whereas a fluxing was demanded by the foul body of the other."

Est unus genitor, cui uni sunt pignora bis sex;
His quoque triginta natæ, sed dispare formá:
Hæ niveæ aspectu, nigris sunt vultibus ille.

They beget thirtie children, unlike all :
Half of them white, half black-immortal made,
And yet we see how everie houre they fade.
