forms the commencement of the work, which contains 91 pages,
neatly printed. Only 200 copies printed, of which 150 were
sent to Paris.----XII. _Poems by the Reverend Mr. Hoyland_,
MDCCLXIX, 8vo. The advertisement ends at p. iv.; the odes
occupy 19 pages. Although this little volume is not printed
with the usual elegance of the S.H. press, it is valuable
from its scarcity, on account of its never having been
re-printed. Only 300 copies were struck off.----XIII.

Ceuill, printed at London in 1602. Chap. II. Of "Justs and
Tournaments," &c., from the same. Chap. III. "A Triumph in
the Reigne of King Richard the Second, 1390," from the same.

by the "Life of Sir Thomas Wyat, the elder," copied by Mr.

the British Museum. This extends to p. 54, after which is an
Appendix of eight pages on a few miscellaneous subjects.
