Intelligencer as he passed through Germanie towards Italie; also a Letter written by the Lord Treasurer, 1592. *** Two very rare and curious historical pieces, written by a zealous Catholic in defence of Philip II. 944 Neumayr van Ramszla (J.W.) Johann fursten des Jungern Hertzogen zu Sachsen, Reise in Franckreich Engelland und Nederland, _port. and plates_ _russia extra, gilt leaves Lips. 1620_ *** The volume contains accounts of many of the pictures and curiosities in the royal palaces of Westminster, St. James, &c.
