and probably in his house; and though it does not positive! v appear what relation he was to him, it is highly probable that he was his son. We might perhaps hare been satisfied in this particular, but that the register book, containing the company's transactions, from 1571 to 157(>, is missing ; in which period it is likely he took up his freedom, seeing he was brought on the lirery in about 1574. May 20, l.W?, he had license to print Fultert farewell to Mr. Fourbou- lier and other gentlemen adventurers who labour to ditcouer the right pauage to Calay. The de- lectable and pleasant historie of Gerillon of Eng- lande. ' It is said that he died before April 6, 1579, when one Myles Jennynge claimra the copy-right of " a biook entitled The hulnrie of Gerillion of England, which he affirmed that he bought of John Jugge." His only work is The Aduue and Answer of the Prince of Orange, &c. 1577. Octavo.

Joan Jugoe has been supposed to have been the widow of Richard Jugge, and mother of the preceding, from her not engaging in the business until his decease. Herbert supposed that her works were Langham's Garden of Health, Quarto. ArU of NauigatioH, 1579, \nd 15)i0, Quarto; and Book of Common Prayer, 1560. Folio. He also mentions certain Sermons appointed by the queen, printed in 1587, which bore Jugge's monogram, and which were probably executed by his widow.

1584. John Kingston according to the usage of the times in which he lived, sometimes spelt his name John Kyngstone. He appears to have been connected with Henry Sutton during the whole of queen Mary's reign, especially in the printing of church books. His shop was at the west door of St. Paul's, in the church yard. — Forty-three works bear his imprint, among which may be noticed : —

The seven first bookes of the eneidos of Virgill, converted into Englishe meter by Thomas Phaer squire, sotlicitour to the king and queens majesties, attending their honorable counsaile in the marchies of Wales, 28 Maii. 1558, 4to. Dedicated to queen Mary.

1584. The first edition of the whole Bible in the Icelandic tongue, was printed at Holum, under the direction of the celebrated and pious Gudbrand Thoriaksou, bishop of Holum. To accomplish this great work, the design of which he had formed on being raised to the see of Ho- lum, he purchased the printing press which had

been established at Breidabolstad, by Jon Areson, the last Catholic bishop of Holum, and caused it to be removed, first to a farm granted by his Danish majesty, for a perpetual residence, to the printer and his successors in office, and at length to Hulum, that it might be under his immediate inspection. Being a great mechanic, he intro- duced great improvements, which rendered the typographical productions of his press far superior to those which had formerly issued from it. The printer whom he had employed was Jon Johnson, who, at his request, visited Copenhagen, in order to perfect himself in his business. The printing of the bible was finished in June, 1684, tn folio, under the auspices, and partly at the expense, of Frederic II. king of Denmark.* The pages are numbered with capitals, after the manner of the German bible : and the chapters are divided into paragraphs, distinguished also by capitals in the margin. Bishop Gudbrand likewise ornamented the work with a number of cuts, chiefly designed and engraved by himself.

1584. A discouerie of the treasons practised, and attempted against the qneenes majesiie, and the realme, by Francis Throckmorton^ who were for the same arrained and condemned in Chttdd Hall, in the citie of London, the ilst of May past. London, printed by Christopher and Robert Barker. 1584, 4to.

1584. Notwithstanding the favourable licence for the encouragement of the press, granted to the university of Cambridge, July 20, 1534, it appears that no books were printed there, after the year 1622, to the year 1584, in the space of sixty-two yearsJI when Thomas Thomas, M. A. and formerly of king's college, took up, and fol-

patron of Uteratore : he died April 4, 1 JSS. In Augnat, li7<, Frederick foanded Uie observatonr on the island ot Boen, (called Veniuia, or the acariet Isle,) in the Baltic, as an inducement to fix T]r<±o Brahe under his innnedlatB protection. See tOoi. post.

S William Parry was executed In Palace-raid, West- minster, Feb. 25th, 1984. He was a genUeman of Wales, and a member of the House of Commons. His zeal for the Catholics led tiim to oppose a measure of the ministry, which had been Introduced against the Jesuits, forwbich he was committed to custody; but on jnaking his sub- mission was released, and admitted to bis place In the house. The crime for which he suffered was for consplrliig the death of the queen, upon the confession of Edmund NeviUe.

I John Ba^ord, In his manuscript collections for a Hutory of Printing, attributes the cessation observed in the Oxford, Cambridge, York, Tavistock, St Alban's, Canterbury, and Worcester presses, to the interference of cardinal Wolsey, during his legantine visitations of several parts of England ; but does not state any authority.
