This extremely amusing and interesting work is very 

 extensively illustrated with rare engraved portraits 

 (many in proof state), of nearly all the celebrated 

 persons of the period, from the monarch to the pea- 

 sant ; for Pepys mixed with both high and low, re- 

 cording anecdotes of either in the most enchanting 

 and delightful gossiping style. Of the eminent 

 persons, of whom no engraved portrait exists, draw- 

 ings have been taken from original paintings in the 

 Collections of the several families expresslj' for this 

 copj', and of those engraved several are executed by 

 various well-known artists, as Faithorne, Bullfinch, 

 &c. The miscellaneous engravings comprise curious 

 historical prints, views of remarkable houses, land- 

 scapes, maps, &c. &c., in number upwards of Six 

 Hundred and Sixt}'. 

 934. Psalter. The whole Psalter, translated into Eng- 

 lish Metre (in three quinquagenes), which contayneth 

 an hundred and fifty Psalmes. Black letter, an exceed- 

 ingly pure copy of an excessively rare volume, purple 

 morocco, joints inside, gilt edges, b}'^ C. Lewis, after a 

 pattern of Roger Payne's. John Daye, dwelling over 

 Aldersgate, n. d. 43/, 



A very elegant metrical version of the Psalter, which, 

 although set forth anonymously, there is every reason 

 to ascribe to Archbishop Parker, and to believe that 

 it was privately printed at his expense. Bishop 

 Kennett possessed a copy (afterwards James West's), 

 in which he had written a note, remarking that the 

 Archbishop permitted his wife. Dame Margaret, to 

 present the volume to some of the nobility. That 

 the cop3' in the Lambeth Library was so given is 

 attested by the following note in it : — " To the right 

 vertuous and Hon, Ladye the Countesse of Shrews- 

 burie, from your loving friende, Margaret Parker."
