Brief Lives, Vol. 1

by John Aubrey

[11] Aubrey notes 'Mr. <Edmund> Halley' as the person to ask about Flamsted.

[12] Aubrey adds the reference 'vide libr. B.': see Macray's Bodleian, p. 366.

[13] The adventures of Captain Thomas Stump in Guiana are recorded in Aubrey's Natural History of Wilts.

[14] i.e. the schemes of nativity given at the beginning of many of the lives in MS. Aubr. 6. MS. Aubr. 23, 'Collectio genituraram,' drawn up by Aubrey in 1674 to be deposited in the Ashmolean Museum, is an earlier contribution to the 'supellex.'

[15] In fol. 11^v Aubrey's book-plate is pasted on.

[16] In the top left corner, '1s. 4d.' is written. Possibly the price of the original paper-book.

[17] 'Much' substituted for 'so well.'

[18] Aubrey cites in the margin:—

'Utrumque nostrum admirabili modo
Consentit astrum.
