[262] Published from 1631 to 1660. Mr. Halliwell reprinted this little book in 1866. He says, "It is believed to be unique. It is an edition with many variations of the old Book of Riddles alluded to by Slender." The copy in the British Museum has a pencil note, "Cost me ten pounds unbound." It is in black letter.
[263] This, as far as I can learn, is the only year of his publishing.
[264] These (said to be the invention of Prince Rupert) are small pear-shaped bubbles of glass, formed by dropping melted glass in water. They will bear a smart stroke on the thick end, but if the thin end is fractured, which is done very easily, they are resolved into a very fine powder, bursting with a slight explosion. These toys are easily procurable.
[265] Jane Coe published between 1644 and 1647.
[266] Probably G. Bishop, who published from 1641 to 1644.
[267] Gilbertson published between 1640 and 1663.
[268] Alias East, published between 1609 and 1612.
[269] Certainly published in 1600.
[270] Published between 1650 and 1652.
