" loved Simon Formari well, hut, being given much to pleasure, they would make him go to the Keeper of the Forest of Shotover for his hounds to go a- hunting from morning to night. They never studied, as Simon saith, nor gave themselves to their books, but spent their time in the fencing-schools, dancing- schools, in stealing dear and conies, in hunting the hare, and wooing girls. They went often to the house of Dr. Giles Lawrence (Regius Professor of Greek) at Cowley, to see his two fair daughters, Elizabeth and Martha, the first of whom Thorn- borough wooed, the other Pinkney, who at length married her, but Thornborough deceived the other."

GRANGER ANNOTATED BY CAULFIELD.

I HAVE before me an interleaved copy of the fourth volume of Granger's ' Biographi- cal History ' (second edition, 1775), ex- tensively annotated by James Caulfield,. the printseller. The greater number of his comments refer to the comparative scarcity of the prints, every one of which he has priced ; but some of his notes provide interesting side-lights on the printsellers and collectors of his day and their methods. Here are a few selected at random :

"Sir Aston Cockain, 51. 5s. Qd. The print of Cockain is extremely rare. Sir William Musgrave,. who had been collecting portraits for many years, could never meet with one. Mr. Tighe had one, which sold at Richardson's for 51, 5s. Qd., but not before Richardson had copied it for his work."

"Richard Head, 15s. Qd. Richard Head used to sell for 7*. 6d., but the book from which it comes (' The English Rogue ') is now very scarce, and the- portrait seldom to be met with. I copied it for my ' Remarkable Persons,' and permitted a young man to have several impressions taken off on old paper,, which he imposed on several persons for original prints, though he told me it was to put them before some copies of the work he had by him."

" Jacob Bobart, 121. 12s. Qd. The print of Bobart sold in Musgrave's sale for 121. 12s. Qd. I had an opinion I should meet with some of this rare print at Oxford, where Burghers, the engraver, always resided, but was disappointed in my search. The family of Bobart are settled at Woodstock, and a place in Oxfordshire called Nettlebed, where a Mrs. Bobart, of the elder branch, has a considerable estate, and is reputed worth 800^. a year.
