89, January 1905, and January 1910. [J.H.P.] [Footnote 1: Of these four are in English translations, dated 1606 (by Richard Stock), 1632, 1687, and 1827. The present translation is thus the fifth into Campion's mother tongue. Though each of the quaint old versions has its merits, and some do not lack charm, not one would adequately represent Campion to the modern reader. A new translation was a necessity--may I not say, a most happy one--seeing that Father Joseph Rickaby was at hand to satisfy it. [J.H.P.]] [Footnote 2: The meaning is--"The ministers tyrannize over us, as if we were a kingdom of unlearned schoolboys, listening to a teacher of grammar."] [Footnote 3: _Catholic Record Society_ IV., 14-17.] [Footnote 4: Father Bombino calls him Richard Morris, and says he went into exile and lived with Allen first at Rheims, and afterwards at Rome, where he died in the English College. (_Vita Campiani_, p. 139)] [Footnote 5: Father Morris identified the lady who let or lent Stonor Park, with Dame Cecilia Stonor, daughter of Leonard Chamberlain. Father Persons describes her as a widow, and if so, the Sir Francis, then alive, was not her husband, but her son. Both father and son had the same Christian name.] [Footnote 6: On the other hand, Mr. Thomas Edward Stonor, in a correspondence to be mentioned immediately, says that there were no definite traditions as to the actual locality of the press.] [Footnote 7: Challoner, _Missionary Priests_, Introd. p. 12.] [Footnote 8: As five printers were subsequently arrested, we know their names, and they deserve to be recorded here, viz., Stephen Brinkley, John Harris, John Hervey, John Tuker, John Compton. Allen speaks of seven workmen. _Diary of the Tower and Douay Diary._] [Footnote 9: The custom however was already changing, and "Roman" type soon afterwards came into general use.] [Footnote 1: _Memoirs_, i. cap. 24; _Collectanea P._ fol. 155.] [Footnote 11: Bombino, _Vita Campiani_ 1620, p.136. Some of Bombino's additions are not, perhaps, arranged in their true chronological order. He tells us, for instance, a propos of Brinkley's difficulties in getting printers, that he had to dress them, and give them horses to ride, like gentlemen. But he does not make it clear whether these were the men who printed the _Ten Reasons_, or Persons' previous works. Bombino says that Brinkley paid for the type, &c., but Allen, in a contemporary letter, says that George G
