6. Perrot, sir James. “A Discovery of Discontented Minds wherein their several sorts & purposes are described especially such as are gone beyond ye Seas. Dedicated to ye Earl of Essex by James Perrot & printed at Oxford in 4to by Joseph Barnes Printer to the University—1596.”
Very rare. The above is from Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5904 (Bagford’s Collections), foll. 20 & 171. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 606, Herbert’s Ames, p. 1406, both notices derived from Oldys’s Catalogue of pamphlets in the Harleian Library (Harleian Miscellany, vol. x. (1813), p. 358, where ‘Quarto, in thirty-four pages’ is added).
7. Pinner, Charles. [Sermon by Charles Pinner at Marlborough, on 1 Tim. iv. 16.]
(Impr. ?: 1596?): (eights) 16o: pp. 53 +[3]: p. 11 beg. through knowledge: Pica English. Contents:—p. 1 title: 3–4, Epistle dedicatory to “master Iohn Bailife” of Marlborough, dated from Wotton Basset, 20 Oct. 1596: 5–53, the sermon.
Very rare: see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 667. In the Bodleian copy, the only one known, the title is lost, so that the date is uncertain. But the book was certainly printed at Oxford, the woodcut on p. 5 being decisive.
