Hearne speaks of him, in the preface of his _Tit. Liv. For.

[Footnote 384: This gentleman's library, not so remarkable
for the black-letter as for whimsical publications, was sold
by auction, by Samuel Paterson (the earliest sale in which I
find this well known book-auctioneer engaged), in June,
1759, and the three ensuing evenings. The title of the Sale
Catalogue is as follows:----"_A Catalogue of the original
MSS. and manuscript collections of the late_ Reverend Mr.
JOHN HENLEY, A.M., Independent Minister of the Oratory, &c.,
in which are included sundry collections of the late Mons.
des Maizeaux, the learned editor of Bayle, &c., Mr. Lowndes,
author of the Report for the Amendment of Silver coins, &c.,
Dr. Patrick Blair, Physician at Boston, and F.R.S., &c.
Together with original letters and papers of State,
addressed to Henry d'Avenant, Esq., her Britannic Majesty's
Envoy at Francfort, from 1703 to 1708 inclusive." Few
libraries have contained more curious and remarkable
publications than did this. The following articles, given as
notable specimens, remind us somewhat of Addison's memoranda
for the Spectator, which the waiter at the coffee-house
picked up and read aloud for the amusement of the
company.----No. 166. God's Manifestation by a Star to the
Dutch. A mortifying Fast-Diet at Court. On the Birth Day of
the first and oldest young Gentleman. All corrupt: none
good; no, not one.----168. General Thumbissimo. The Spring
reversed, or the Flanderkin's Opera and Dutch Pickle
Herrings. The Creolean Fillip, or Royal Mishap. A Martial
Telescope, &c. England's Passion Sunday, and April
Changelings.----170. Speech upon Speech. A Telescope for
Tournay. No Battle, but worse, and the True Meaning of it.
An Army beaten and interred.----174. Signs when the P. will
come. Was Captain Sw-n, a Prisoner on Parole, to be
catechised? David's Opinion of like Times. The Seeds of the
plot may rise though the leaves fall. A Pers
