—A list of the pamphlets published by, or relating to, John Lilburne, or any facts respecting his life or works, will be of service to one who is collecting for a biography of "Free-born John."

[Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica contains a list of Lilburne's pamphlets, which would occupy two pages of "NOTES AND QUERIES!" A collection of tracts relating to Lilburne, 1646, 4to., 2 vols., will be found in the Towneley Catalogue, Part I. p. 636. Sold for 1l. 13s. Truth's Victory over Tyrants, being the Trial of John Lilburne, London, 1649, 4to., contains a portrait of him standing at the bar. Butler, in Hudibrus, Part III., Canto ii., has vividly drawn his character in the paragraph commencing at line 421.:—
"To match this saint, there was another,
As busy and perverse a brother,
An haberdasher of small wares,
In politics and state-affairs," &c.
