4. ( ?) It is quite possible that James Howell referred to a fourth 

 collection, in the extract from his letter, referred to on p. 245, sup. ; 

 but the point is not susceptible of investigation. 



As stated above (Biog., p. 245, N. 3), some other codices might 

 almost be included here ; but, on the whole, it seems best to consider 

 them in the following Class. 



II. SINGLli I'OE.MS OR SMALL GROUPS. 



Inasmuch as this bibliographical sketch is concerned only with 

 Henry King's own writings, and not with the writings of others 

 about him, no attempt has been made to tabulate here all the MSS. 

 consulted or cited in the course of the present work. Thus, for exam- 

 ple, no mention has been made of the "Historical MSS. Commission 

 Reports," Hunter's MS. "Chorus Vatum," or Bishop Rennet's 

 MS. collections. The following is simply a list of the various MSS. 

 containing versions of one or more of King's poems :^

by an asterisk contain one or more of the Doubtful Poems, only ;

but not reasonably certain.]

1 Certain MS. Letters, which should properly be listed among the MSS., 

 have been included in Part Two of this Bibliography for the sake of the 

 convenience of considering all King's Letters in a single group; consequently. 

 Part One deals with his Poems alone. (Cf. Note 2, p. 280).
