FIRST EDITION, portrait by WILLIAM MARSHALL, small 4to. £8 8s Preface, Advertisement to the Reader (5 pp.). A good copy of this excellent work, which is considered one of the most interesting and valuable specimens of biography in the English language. It illustrates Shakespeare's Henry VIII., some of the phrases and incidents being very similar, notably his last advice to "Master Kiigstone (see p. 113). The view taken by Cavendish is substantially the same as that of Shakespeare. It is most probable that Shakespeare had read the Cavendish manuscript, for this life of Wolsey was written in 1557, and much circulated in manuscript; it being dangerous to print the book, which necessarily spoke of persons who were still alive. 1411 Another Copy.

Pepys, in his Diary (Mar. 18, 1668) refers to the above as "the ridiculous history of My Lord Newcastle, wrote by his wife, which shows her to be a mad, conceited, ridiculous woman, and he an ass to suffer her to write what she writes to him and of him." It is, however, in its way a masterpiece. faithful and attractive of an English interior. Not easy is it to find a picture so 1414 Philosophical and Physical Opinions.

Shadwell had so high an opinion of this amusing piece that he has transcribed a great part of it into his own Bury Fair." At page 60 there is an interesting reference to SHAKESPEARE : Doctor. You had as good give him preserv'd Apricocks, he has too much Wit for him, and then Fletcher and Beaumont have so much of the Spanish Perfume of Romances and Novels. Etc., etc., etc. This is an excellent comedy, the second title being aptly chosen, for the play has little or no plot, but contains a collection of well-drawn characters. Footpads is a very laughable character, in the first act he comes in disguised as a pedler, and puts one strongly in mind of Autolycus in Shakespeare's Winter's Tale.
