It is generally supposed to have been printed, if not translated, by John Rastell, but the type has a foreign appearance and the spelling of some words is peculiar, so it was most probably printed abroad, perhaps in Paris. Mr. Hazlitt suggests Thielman Kerver as the printer. This amusing work comprises 122 Dialogues, the "moral" of each preceded with a metrical couplet, and the subject illustrated with a curious woodcut. It is the first English book in which we find the use of those characteristic couplets appended as morals at the end of the apologues, which sink into the popular memory more deeply than the tales themselves.

Cologne, 1594 This copy has nearly double the number of plates contained in any other I can trace. Nagler and Brulliot, who mention a series of plates on this subject by the same artist, both agree in giving the number as 12, though Nagler, it is true, questions this. Evidently the existence of a title to the series was likewise unknown to these authorities. Brulliot ascribes the work to Jean Nicholas Hoogenberg, who was born in 1500 and died, according to him, in 1554, though Nagler gives the date of his death as 1545. Here Brulliot is incorrect, while Nagler's account of the real author's life seem to tally with the date of the work catalogued above. According to Nagler, Johann Hogenberg or Hoogenberg worked in Cologne between 1590 and 1610, and, if this be correct, then the series under consideration represents some of his earlier work. 180 660 2330 HISTORIA NATURAL.
