." 3. News from the new Exchange. The commonwealth of ladies. Printed in the _year of women with out Grace_, 1650. 4. There are many countries characterized--Italy, Spain, Holland, Scotland. 'Holland' is in verse. It bears out Earle's contemptuous references to the Dutch. It is here called "The offscouring of the British land." "This indigested vomit of the sea Fell to the Dutch by just propriety." 1672. [It will be found among Marvell's satires, but Bliss does not mention this.] 5. "Scotland characteriz'd: in a letter to a young gentleman to dissuade him from an intended journey thither, 1701." 6. "The noble cavalier characterized," "& a rebellious caviller cauterized," 1644 _or_ 5. An answer to Wither's Campo Musae. A vigorous preface says--"To begin roundly, soundly, and profoundly, the Cavalier is a gentleman." By John Taylor. 7. Lucifer's Lacky: the true character of a dissembling Brownist, 1641. 8. "The Tincker of Torvey: a scholler, a cobler, a tincker, a smith; with Bluster, a seaman, travel from Billingsgate to Gravesend." 1650. 9. "The interpreter," 1622, deals with "three principall terms of state--a puritan, a Protestant, a papist." 10. "The Joviall Crew; or the Devill turn'd Ranter." 1651. 11.

"A character of the Religion and manners of Phanatiques in Generall," 1660, includes in the list "Seekers and Enthusiasts." The last sounds strange as _a species_. 13. "The character of an Ignoramus Doctor," 1681, recalls The Microcosmography. 14. The captive Captain, or the restrained Cavalier," 1665, also, in part, suggests Earle. "Of a Prison," "The anatomy of a Jayler," "The lean Prisoner," "The restrained Cavalier and his melancholy." 15. Bliss also mentions "The character of a learned man," and gives some choice extracts. "Our sottish and idle enthusiasts are to be reproved who call learning but a _splendidum peccatum_." "Alexander commanded his soldiers neither to damnify Pindarus, the poet, nor any of his family." 16. "A wandering Jew telling fortunes to Englishmen." 1640. 17.
