wn with the following {39} imprint: 'Copland in Fletestrete, at
the signe of the Rose Garland.' In the Selden Collection, in the
Bodleian Library, and in the copy from which Mr. Upcott published his
reprint, we read on the recto of the last leaf, 'Imprented at London
in Lothbury ouer agaynste Sainct Margaryte's Church, by me Wyllyam
Copland.'"

The copy in the Chetham Library, now lying before me, corresponds with
the description of the latter impression. Dibdin's mistake perhaps
originated in the last page of the work preceding Borde, which is
bound up with four other works, having the following: "Imprinted at
London in _Fleetestrete_ by Henry Wykes."

This volume contains--

"The Choise of Change: Containing the Triplicitie of Diuinitie,
Philosophie, and Poetrie, Short for memorie, Profitable for
Knowledge, and necessary for Maners; whereby the learned may
be confirmed, the ignorant instructed, and all men generally
recreated. Newly set forth by S.R., Gent and Student in the
Universitie of Cambridge. Tria sunt omnia. At London, Printed
by Roger Warde, dwelling neere Holborne Conduite, at the sign
of the Talbot, An. Dom. 1585."

These letters, S.R., are the well known initials of Samuel Rowlands,
who appears to have been a Welshman, from his love of Triads, and
from the dedications found in this the rarest of his works, and those
described by Mr. Collier in his _Catalogue of the Bridgewater House
Collection_. In the same volume is comprised a tract by Greene, with
a copy of which Mr. Dyce could never meet, entitled _The Royal
Exchange_, printed in 1590.
