Among the commendatory poems prefixed is one signed "W. C.,” which is believed to be by William Cartwright.

32.50 855 [LLOYD (REV., Dean of St. Asaph).] The Legend of

Captain Jones. Both Parts, 1671-70. With the very rare folding frontispiece by W. Marshall, representing Captain Jones, in full armour on horseback, encountering an elephant with a giant on its back. 12mo, calf. Lond. : E. Okes, 1671

*The poem, which is a curious burlesque in imitation of a Welsh poem, entitled Owdl Rich, Grenlon, was made on a Captain Jones, who lived in the Elizabethan era, when Sir John Norris and his noble brethren, with Sir Walter Raleigh, were endeavouring for the honour of their nation to eternize their names by martial exploits." The leaf of verses, Fames windy trump," is almost as rare to find in the volume as the plate itself. Owing to an erroneous collation in Lowndes of Allot's England's Parnassus, 1600, it is included with that volume; to supply this, no doubt many a copy has been denuded of it, to agree with the collation.

* A SUPERB COPY, with the Griswold arms on side. At the end is an extra leaf, a title-page, being A memorial of such Princes as since the tyme of King Richard the Seconde, have been unfortunate in the realme of England."

This is supposed to have been prepared for a folio edition of what was afterwards published (1559) as the "Mirror for Magistrates." The proposed folio was presumably suppressed by the authorities. Very few copies have this extra title-page.

* Cawood printed a great number of editions of Lyly's "Euphues," the earliest-bearing date being that of 1581. The above edition is not described by Arber in his list of editions, but was probably published about 1590; Arber also does not describe the edition of "Euphues and his England" above.
