The first edition of Airay’s Logic, see 1633 A, 1660. The preface explains that the author’s name is omitted from modesty, and that several MSS. of the first three books have been compared and something added, as well as three more books.
2. Bodleian Library. The entry in the “Catalogi ... librorum ... Richardi Davis ... pars quarta,” Lond. 1692, p. 29:—“108. Catalogus Librorum in Bibliotheca Bodleiana—Oxon. 1628” must be an error for 1620.
3. Brerewood, Edward TRACTATVS | QVIDAM | LOGICI | DE | PRÆDICABILIBUS, | ET | PRÆDICAMENTIS. | Ab eruditissimo Viro Edvardo Brerewood | Artium Magistro, è Collegio Ænei-Nasi, olim conscripti: | nunc verò ab erroribus (qui frequenti transcriptione irrepserant) vindicati, ad pristinum nitorem, na-|tivamq; puritatem diligentissimâ manuscripto-|rum collatione restituti, & in lucem editi, | Per T.

Octob. 1628”: (9–12) “Erudito Lectori ...”: (13–31) “Index sectionum quæstionumque ...”: a folded sm. folio leaf “Pag. 1” bearing an “Analysis” of logic, printed on one side only, perhaps not by Brerewood: 1–472, the ten treatises (pp. 63–64 are another folded leaf, printed in style similar to the former one, but “Sect. 17”).
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 140. Brerewood died in 1613.
4. Burton, Robert. [Engraved title:—] THE | Anatomy of | MELANCHOLY. | What it is, with all the kinds causes, | symptomes, prognostickes, & seuerall cures of it. | In three Partitions, with their severall | Sections, members & subsections, | Philosophically, Medicinally, | Historically, opened & cut up. | BY | Democritus Junior. | With a Satyricall Preface, conducing | to the following Discourse. | The thirde Edition, corrected and | augmented by the Author. | [motto: see below.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 653, and 1621 B. The author’s name does not occur in the book. The engraved title is divided into 12 parts, arranged in horizontal rows of three, but the rows are not of equal height: no. 1 (left top corner) is “Zelotipia,” birds with river and trees: 2. “Democritus Abderites” by his garden, under a tree: 3. Solitudo,” deer &c. in a glade: 4. (second row) “Inamorato” a love-sick youth with suitable surroundings: 5. title, as above: 6. “Hypocondriacus” a king, sitting: 7. “Superstitiosus,” a monk on his knees, telling his beads: 8. “Democritus Junior,” half length, with arms, book, sphere and ladder (?): 9. “Maniacus,” chained: 10. “Borago,” the plant: 11.

M.A. | [motto, and translation.]
Impr. 80: 1628: sm. 4o: pp. 48: p. 11 beg. constrayned first of all: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title: 3–4, dedication to sir Thomas Leigh, dated “from the publique Library in Oxford this 30 of Aug. 1628”: 5–6, “To the Reader”: 7–48, the treatise.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 222. The author states that when he first came into England he “belonged unto” Sir Tho. Leigh and his grandfather of the same names. The “sovereign judge” of the treatise is declared to be “God speaking in the Scriptures.”
6. Carpenter, Nathaniel. Achitophel: or, the Picture of a wicked Politician, in 3 parts. Dubl. 1627, oct. Ox. 1628, qu.
So in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 422, where Wood relates that the Lond. 1629 ed. (and presumably all subsequent editions) is expurgated of passages supposed to reflect on Arminianism. See 1640 C. The British Museum, Bodleian, Advocates’ Library at Edinburgh and the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, do not seem to possess a copy of either of the two first editions.
7. C[asa], J[=Giovanni della]. ETHICA | IVVENILIS | J. C.| GALATEVS | Seu | De Morum Honestate & E-|legantia; Liber ex Italico | Latinus; | [line] | Ejusdem J. W. de Umbra | Variæ. | [woodcuts.]

Contents.—pp. (1–2), not seen: (3) title, within a double line: (4) second title “Ethica Iuvenilis, seu Manuductorium ad laudabilem morum Concinnitatem ...”, and preface signed “G. W.”: 1–129, the treatise: (2–3) not seen.
See 1630 C. The author was Giovanni della Casa, and the translator Nathan Chytraeus, whose initials occur on p. 1: but the copy seen had no trace of “J. W. de Umbra variæ,” though the binding was original. There are many editions of the Italian and Latin forms of this treatise (see 1630 C and 1665), and some of an English translation. Pp. 1–128 of this edition were reissued as part of the 1665 edition.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 184, 1635 F. The first ed. (two different issues) was Lond. 1606 (5th book, Lond. 1610). The author died in 1616. Three edd. or parts of edd. have been issued even in the 19th century. The signatures run completely through the book.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 331 (where “Lond.” is an error for “Oxf.”) and 1629 P. Pemble died in 1623. The editor was a pupil of Pemble (Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 1062), and succeeded him in his lectureship at Magdalen hall. There is something curious about the printing of this volume: the pagination is peculiar, and sign. K 1r (p. “31”) has the running title of sermon 4 instead of 5: also the catchword on p. “38” is have instead of having, and the next page differs in style of printing. The second edition shows each sermon with a separate pagination, but appears otherwise to be a verbatim reprint. The signatures of this first ed. begin again with the second sermon, and the first at least of the last two leaves bears no signature, though beginning a new sheet.
17. Rudyerd, sir Benjamin. BENIAMIN RVDIERD | HIS SPEECH IN BEHALFE | of the Clergie, and of | Parishes miserably destitute of In-|struction, through want of | Maintenance. | CONFIRMED BY THE | Testimonies of Bishop Iewel, | Master Perkins, and Sir | Henry Spelman. | [line, motto, line.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 456. This tract is generally found without any title page (signn. A—B4 only): the London booksellers seem to have printed one for their own purposes, not deeming the title as it heads p. 1 (“Sir Beniamin Ruddierd’s speach in behalfe of the Cleargy.”) sufficient. Some early copies have the number of the first page central over the author’s name, enclosed in brackets; but it was doubtless soon moved to the upper right hand corner, because in its original place it seemed to indicate a first part of the tract rather than simply the first page. This speech was reprinted at London in 1641.
18. Sparke, William. THE | MYSTERY | OF | GODLINESSE: | A | GENERALL DISCOVRSE | OF THE REASON THAT IS | IN CHRISTIAN RELIGION. | [line] | By William Sparke Divinity Rea⸗|der at Magd: Coll: in Oxford and Par⸗|son of Blechly in Buckingham-shire. | [line, then 2 mottos.]

(1) title: (3–5) dedication to George duke of Buckingham: (7–12) “The Preface to the Reader”: (13–15) “The Contents”: 1–78 “Booke I”, in 3 chapters: 1–78 “Booke II”, in 3 chapters: 78, imprint 78.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 495. The second book, which is distinct in pagination, signatures and colophon, seems to have been printed separately and even issued by itself.
19. Tozer, Henry.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 274, and 1640 T. There were also Oxford edd. in 1671 (8th), 1680 (10th), but all editions seem to be uncommon.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 219. The title of this work appears to explain an extraordinary entry in the Bibliotheca Gulstoniana (1688) p. 35 “Joan. Wouveri pietas erga Benefactores, Oxon. 1626”!
