was the property of Cartwright, one of the last of 

 the Nonjuring Bishops, and Campbell's corrections 

 are inserted by him in the margins. All particulars 

 are given on a fly-leaf by Cartwright, and there are 

 some notes by Cartwright himself. They are written 

 in red ink. Cartwright's name occurs on the fly- 

 leaf. 



201. Deacon, the Nonjuror. A compleat Collection of 

 Devotions, both Public and Private, in Two Parts. 1734. 

 2/. 7s. 



This is the general title ; and each part has a separate 

 title, and also the Appendix, making four titles. This 

 is the case of ordinary copies. 



The present copj' is different and probably unique. It 

 has the usual titles; but it has also a fifth title of a 

 very remarkable character, viz. "The Order of the 

 Divine Offices of the Orthodox British Church, con- 

 taining the Holy Liturgy, &c. &c., as authorised by 

 the Bps. of the said Church." This title could not 

 have been circulated, for it would have raised a storm 

 against the party, since it brands, by implication, the 

 Church of England as unorthodox. It is remark- 

 able, too, that the consent of the other Bishops is 

 mentioned. This copy also has a leaf of Proper 

 Psalms, printed on one side only, which does not 

 occur in ordinary copies. 



The volume was presented by Cartwright, the last 

 Nonjuring Bishop, to Mr. Prythereck. In Cart- 

 wright's hand is the following memorandum : 



" To his worthy and much esteemed Friend, the Rev. 



Mr. Prythereck. 



" From Wm. Cartwright, E. O. B. P. 

 "After Mr. Prythereck's death, this book was given 



back to me at my request. W. C." 



• Cartwright died in 1799, and on his dying bed was re- 

 conciled to the Church of England, receiving the 

 communion from Mr. Rowland. It is evident that 

 the volume was presented to Rowland by Cartwright, 

 for on the page opposite to the above memorandum 

 is the following : " W. G. Rowland, 1800." 

 The book is uncut and in boards. A small hole is 

 burnt in one leaf, as if from a candle by reading in 

 bed. It is a volume of great interest, since it is evi- 

 dent that the particular title was not intended for 

 circulation. It must have been greatly valued by 

 Cartwright, or he would not have requested it after 

 the death of his friend. No similar copy can be 

 traced, and the present is probably unique with 

 respect to the title. It is also of extreme interest as 

 the book of the last Nonjuring Bishop.

 liam Cartwright, Nonjuring bishops, see "N. & 

 Q.," l«t S. xii. 85. ; 2"<i S. i. 176. 339.] 



279. Hickesii (Guil.) Institutiones Grammaticae Anglo- 

 Saxonica;, &c. Vellum, 4to. 1689. 5s. 



This copy was presented to a Mr. Leers, whose name is 

 written b}' Hickes. In the margins, also, are various 

 MS. corrections and additions in the handwriting of 

 Hickes. It would seem that they were intended for 

 a new edition. 



280. Hickesii (G.) Linguaruni Vett. Septentrionalium 

 Thesaurus, &c. 3 vols., portrait, numerous plates, large 

 paper, a verv fine copy, russia by Kalthoeber. Oxon., 

 1705. 31. 19s. 



281. Hickes (G.) Devotions in the Antient Way of 

 Oflices, with Psalms and Hymns. The third edition, fine 

 copy, red morocco, with frontispiece and the tunes which 

 are often wanting, Timo. 1706. 4s. 



282. Hickes (G.) Sermons. 2 vols., calf, 8vo. 1713. 1/. 

 Several of the Sermons had been published by the 



author himself. The republication was edited by 



Spinkes, who merely reprinted the Sermons without 

 any allusion to a change of views in the author. The 

 present cop}' was once in the possession of Archibald 

 Campbell, the Nonjuring Bishop, who has written 

 various notes in the margin. He condemns Spinkes 

 for the republication, stating that he was aware of 

 the change in some of Hiekes's opinions. Each note 

 is formally signed by Campbell : " Ita testor Archib. 

 Campbell." They detail conversations with Hickes 

 on the changes which his opinions had undergone. 

 These volumes, therefore, are of the utmost import- 

 ance in forming an estimate of Hiekes's views and 

 characters. 

 857. Leslie (Charles) an Answer to a Book intituled 

 the State of the Protestants in Ireland, under the late 

 King James' government, in which their carriage towards 

 him is justified, and the absolute necessity of their endea- 

 vouring to be freed from his government, and of submit- 

 ting to their present Majesties is demonstrated. Frontis- 

 piece, large copy, margins uncut, 4to. 1692. 

 This work is very rare. It is anonymous, but its 

 author was Leslie, the Nonjuror. On the title is 

 written a sentence from Juvenal, which appears to 

 be in the hand of the author. The corrections also 

 at pp. 15. 51. 91. 151. 160. and 188., are in his hand. 

 A name has been torn from the bottom of the title, 

 which was probably Leslie's, or that of the person to 

 whom the book was presented. 



358. Leslie (C.) a Sermon preached at Chester against 

 marriages in different Communions, by Charles Leslie, 

 and the same subject further prosecuted by Henry Dod- 

 well, M.A. Calf, 8vo. 1702. 



"The discourse against marriages in different com- 

 munions is known to me, I ought to say, only from 

 Brokesby's copious abstract. That discourse is very 

 rare." — Macaulay's History, vol. iii. p. 462. 

 [:See"N.&Q."2°dS. i. 49.] 



359. Leslie (C.) Theological Works. 2 vols., very fine 

 copy with stamped sides, calf, fol. 1721. 



394. Otfice (An) for Penitents, or a Form of Prayer fit 

 to be used in Sinful and Distracted Times. Very rare, 

 calf, 12mo., printed in the year 1691. 12s. 

 This work was privately printed. It is not mentioned 

 by Watt or Lowndes. The title is within a black 

 border, and there is a portrait of John Ashton who 

 was executed for treason. There is a praj'er for the 

 King, i. e. James II., though his name is not men- 

 tioned. 

 473. Parker (Samuel) Bibliotheca Biblica, being a 

 Commentary on all the Books of the Old and New Testa- 

 ment 5 vols., very scarce, 4to. Oxford, 1720-1735, 

 21. 8s. 

 The work extends no further than the end of Deutero- 

 nomy, as the learned author was removed by death at 

 the age of fifty. He was the son of the Bishop of 

 Oxford, and lived and died a Nonjuror in Oxford. 

 The present copy is large and fine, and bound in 

 some of the Oxford Sheet Almanacks. 

 But the present volumes are important and interesting, 

 as containing various MS. notes. One gentleman 

 has written an account of Parker's death on a fly- 

 leaf; and it gives particulars which are not found in 

 the printed account. He says, " I had the honour 

 and happiness to be intimately acquainted with him. 

 Hen. Fisher." The other notes are by another hand, 

 but very curious. In one, the writer says that John 

 Wesley had said, alluding to the number of Non- 

 jurors; " that Oxford was paved with the sculls of 

 Jacobites." The notes appear to have been written 

 by Nonjurors.
