r was merely asked to revise it, declining to do even this. Nevertheless he was sentenced to Botany Bay (1794) for seven years. The trial aroused great indignation. [406] See Vol. I, page 80, note 5 {119}. [407] See Vol. II, page 244, note 394. [408] See Vol. I, page 352, note 1 {731}. [409] See Vol. I, page 332, note 4 {709}. [410] "The lawyers are brought into court; let them accuse each other." [411] Samuel Rogers (1763-1855), the poet and art connoisseur. He declined the laureateship on the death of Wordsworth (1850). Byron, his pretended friend, wrote a lampoon (1818) ridiculing his cadaverous appearance. [412] Theodore Edward Hook (1788-1841), the well-known wit. He is satirized as Mr. Wagg in _Vanity Fair_. The _John Bull_ was founded in 1820 and Hook was made editor. [413] "On pitying the heretic." [414] A term of medieval logic. Barbara: All M is P, all S is M, hence all S is P. Celarent: No M is P, all S is M, hence no S is P. [415] "Simply," "According to which," "It does not follow." [416] "O sweet soul, what good shall I declare That heretofore was thine, since such are thy remains!" [417] "Stupid fellow!" [418] Christopher Barker (c. 1529-1599), also called Barkar, was the Queen's printer. He began to publish books in 1569, but did no actual printing until 1576. In 1575 the Geneva Bible was first printed in England, the work being done for Barker. He published 38 partial or complete editions of the Bible from 1575 to 1588, and 34 were published by his deputies (1588-1599). [419] James Franklin (1697-1735) was born in Boston, Mass., and was sent to London to learn the printer's trade. He returned in 1717 and started a printing house. Benjamin, his brother, was apprenticed to him but ran away (1723). James published the _New England Courant_ (1721-1727), and Benjamin is said to have begun his literary career by writing for it. [420] James Hodder was a writing master in Tokenhouse Yard, Lothbury, in 1661, and later kept a boarding school in Bromley-by-Bow. His famous arithmetic appeared at London in 1661 and went through many editions. It was the basis of Cocker's work. (See Vol. I, page 42, note 4 {24}.) It was long thought to have been the first arithmetic published in America, and it was the first English one. There was, however, an arithmetic published much earlier than this, in Mexico, the _Sumario compendioso ... con algunas reglas tocantes al Aritmetica_, by "Juan
