NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. ix. JAN. 31, i9n.

iitle of ' La Giulietta.' Two previous edi- tions are known : one undated, which all Italian bibliographers assign to the year 1530, and therefore the first. The second edition is dated 1535 a copy of which is in the Grenville Library of the British Museum. Mr. P. Daniel, that most careful of writers, in mentioning .the 1539 edition remarks about the prose works contained in this volume. As the author is known to have written one prose work only which is that published in this book the statement is not quite correct. Most \vriters <on Shakespearian bibliography mention the 1535 edition as the first even so late a scholar as Sir Sidney Lee falls into this error in his ' Life of Shakespeare,' 1899. I may
 * state my new- acquisition was formerly in the

Heber Collection. No copy is to be found in any library in this country.

A BISHOP'S HOUSEHOLD. The following extract from a Lay Subsidy seems to be of sufficient general interest to find a corner in ' N. & Q.,' for it is not often that w r e get such a detailed list of the men forming the house- hold of a bishop, with the wages of each. The list is perfect, except for four Christian names, and part of another at the end, and ijives the names of forty men in the personal service of the Bishop of Salisbury in 14 & 15 K. Hen. VIII. :

FEE -F ABM RENTS. Some years since certain North-Country fee-farm rents fell into the hands of the writer of this note. They had been long collected for his for- bears by a firm of ancient standing, whose unpretentious office, situate in a quiet corner of Gray's Inn, was marked by a brass plate bearing, if he remembers rightly, the words " Collectors of Fee-farm Rents " an honourable calling, not devoid of antique flavour, to which, however, the budding
