341: The passage is somewhere in Burton's _Anatomy
of Mechanoly_. But I cannot just now, put my finger upon
it.]

[Footnote 342: The works of KING JAMES I. (of England) were
published in rather a splendid folio volume in the year
1616. Amongst these, his _Demonology_ is the "opus maximum."
Of his son PRINCE HENRY, there is, in this volume, at the
top of one of the preliminary pieces, a very pretty half
length portrait; when he was quite a boy. A charming whole
length portrait of the same accomplished character, when he
was a young man, engraved by Paas, may be seen in the first
folio edition of Drayton's _Polyolbion_: but this, the
reader will tell me, is mere Grangerite information. Proceed
we, therefore, to a pithy, but powerful, demonstration of
the bibliomaniacal character of the said Prince Henry. "In
the paper office, there is a book, No. 24, containing
Prince Henry's privy-purse expences, for one year," &c. The
whole expense of one year was 1400_l._ Among other charges,
the following are remarkable:

passage--amongst many similar ones which may be adduced--in
vol. i., p. 116, of his "_Crudities_"--or Travels: edit.
1776, 8vo. Coryat's [Transcriber's Note: alternative
spelling] talents, as a traveller, are briefly, but
brilliantly, described in the _Quarterly Review_, vol. ii.,
p. 92.]

Let me here beseech you to pay due attention to the works of HENRY
PEACHAM, when they come across you. The first edition of that
elegantly written volume, "_The Compleat Gentleman_," was published I
believe in the reign of James I., in the year 1622.

LOREN. I possess not only this, but every subsequent copy of it, and a
fair number of copies of his other works. He and BRAITHWAIT were the
"par nobile fratrum" of their day.

PHIL. I have often been struck with some curious passages in Peacham,
