A Catalogue of some Portraits and other Prints 

 having to do with the County of Wilts. From 

 the Collection of Ambrose Tucker. Privately printed 



for Ambrose Tucker at the press of Bennett Bros., Salisbury. 1908. 



Cloth, 4to (IQAin. X 8in.), pp. 211. Introduction dated Hillcote, 

 Sahsbury, 1908. Good full-page reproductions of portraits of William 

 Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke ; Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury ; 

 Henry Greenhill, of Salisbui'y. 



This finely-printed and excellently-got-up book, with its thick paper 

 and rough edges, contains the catalogue of what is in all probability the 

 most complete collection of printed portraits of Wiltshiremen in existence, 

 as well as of a large collection of Wiltshire views and prints. The 

 portraits number about 650, of which 99 are of the Herbert Family, 

 and 85 of the Bishops of Salisbury, two branches of his collection to 

 which Mr. Tucker has paid special attention. The portraits occupy 

 pp. 11—139, and 203—211 ; the topographical prints pp. 143—200. In 

 the case of the former, under each name is a biographical note giving 

 the principal dates and events of the life of the person depicted. This 

 will be a most useful work of reference. 



Wiltshire Notes and Queries, No. 57, March, 



1907. An article on Robert Nicholas, of Devizes, Chief Baron of 

 the Exchequer under Cromwell, with a copy of his marriage settlement, 

 and an interesting inventory of the goods in his house at Seend Eew at 

 his death there in 1667, is the work of the Editor. The account of the 

 Stokes family is continued with the wills of Edith, 1565 ; Joane, 1593; 

 John the elder, 1596; William, 1611; Anne, 1617; William, 1619; all 

 of Seend. Notes on the pedigree of the Eyre family of Wilts are con- 

 tinued, as are also Wiltshire entries from the " Complete Baronetage." 

 A note by Mr. Kite establishes the fact, from entries in the Bishops 

 Cannings registers, that the Quaker Burial Ground at Hilworth, near 

 Gallows Ditch, Devizes, dates back certainly to 1678 or earlier. The 

 frontispiece is a reproduction of an old print of Bristol High Cross.
