4246 A Volume (in its original binding) of Elizabethan Tracts from the Libraries of Edmund Spenser and Gabriel Harvey, containing Dionysius Alexandrinus. The Survey of the World . . Englished by Thomas Twine, H. Bynneman, 1576-Rowlands (Richard). The Post for divers parts of the World, Thomas East, 1576—Grafton (Richard). A Briefe Treatise conteyning many proper Tables (signature G missing), Jhon Waley, 1576-Turler (Jerome). The Traveller (signature L missing, William Howe, 1575, inscription on side reads, "Ex dono Edmundi Spenserii Episcopi Roffensis Secretarii, 1578"-Lhudd (Humfrey). The Breviary of Britayne Englished by Thomas Twyne (one leaf of table missing), R. Johnes, 1573, 8vo. (1173) Sabin, £102

[Mr. Collier, in his "Rarest Books in the English Language," vol. i., pages 380-1, has furnished an account of a volume of tracts given, in the winter of 1578, by Edmund Spenser, the poet, to Gabriel Harvey, his very particular friend and contemporary at Cambridge. This gift is now known to us solely from a very imperfect copy of one of the pieces, and the interest of the whole circumstance is limited to a partly-defaced memorandum by Harvey, stating the fact of the donation and the condition attached to it by the author of the "Faerie Queene," namely, that he should read all the items forthwith, or forfeit his copy of Lucian. At the period that Mr. Collier wrote (1865), and until the present time, this fragment was regarded as a solitary record. A far more important Spenserian discovery has now been made in the shape of this volume of tracts in their original vellum wrapper, all of which belonged to Harvey, and possess his marks of ownership and acquisition between 1576 and 1578, and of which one (Turler's Traveller, 1575) not only came to him as a gift from Spenser, but in the note of presentation (written on the title-page) affords the apparently novel intelligence that, at a time when he has been usually supposed to have been residing in the North of England, the author of the "Faerie Queene" was acting as secretary to the Bishop of Rochester-Dr. Young, his former principal at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. The inscription on the Turler, which reveals this new and different biographical aspect, runs thus: "Ex dono Edmundi Spenserii Episcopi Roffensis Secretarii, 1578." Some, if not all, of the other tracts were bought by Harvey at York in the autumn of 1576. At the end of one, Grafton's Treatise of Tables, 1576, he has written: "Gabrielis Harveii et amicorum, one of mie York pamflets, 1576. Then fitt for mie natural and mathematical studies and exercises in Pembroke hall." Nearly all the printed matter (fly-leaves included) between cover and cover has received autograph memorials of diligent perusal; Harvey in his notes cites Chaucer, Lydgate, Edmund Spenser himself, Du Bartas, and the "Shepherd's Calendar." On some of the leaves are manuscript notes, probably in the hand of Spenser.—Catalogue.]
