Thomas Wolsey, late Cardinall intituled
of St Cicile trans Tiberim presbyter and
Lord Chauncellar of England, his lyfe
and deathe, compiled by George
Cavendishe, his gentleman Usher.
[35] Archæologia, vol. xi. p. 50-62.
[37] See Vincent’s Suffolk. MS. in Col. Arm. fol. 149, and compare with Morant’s Essex, vol. ii. p. 363, and with the account of the Cavendishes in the Peerages.
[40] Vol. i. p. 106.
[41] Vol. i. p. 122. It is singular enough that in this edition the name of the Cardinal’s attendant and biographer, by a slip of the pen, is written George. See line 38. It is plain from the connexion that this must have been an unintended blunder into the truth. It was duly corrected in the later editions.
[42] Mr. Grove subsequently (in 1761) met with what he considered “an antient and curious manuscript copy written about one hundred and fifty years ago,” and from this he printed an edition in 8vo, with a preface and notes, the advertisement to which bears the above date. It appears to be one of the rarest of English books, and was probably never published: the copy with which I have been favoured by Richard Heber, Esq. M. P. having no title-page. There are other curious tracts in the volume on the subject of Wolsey, having separate titles bearing no bookseller’s name, but purporting to be printed for the Author by Dryden Leach, and all in 1761.
