 gules, belongs to the name of Tylly, or Tyllet,

Book-plates {^q\.\\\.^ p. 495.; Vol. iv., pp. 46. 93.). 

 — Alt instance of what may be considered as an 

 early example of a book-plate, occurs pasted upon 

 the lly-leaf of a MS. in tin's College amongst Phil- 

 pot's Collections (marked F. e. 15.), being an en- 

 graving of a blank shield, witli a helmet and lam- 

 brequin, and a compartment fur the motto ; the 

 whole suri'ounded by a border ornamented with 

 flowers ; altogether well engraved. Tiie shield 

 contains six quarterings, very neatly sketched with 

 pen and ink ; and the helmet is surmounted by a 

 crest, also neatly sketched. In the upper part of 

 the border, occupying a space evidently intende<l 

 to be filled up, is the autograph of " Joseph 

 Iloland;" while a similar space in the lower part 

 contains the date of " 1585 " in the same hand, in 

 which also the motto " Fortitudo mea Deus," is 

 written within the compartment above mentioned. 

 The following, which is a collateral proof of the 

 age of the book-plate, is likewise an autograph 

 title to the MS. : 



" In this booke are conteyned the armes of the 

 nobylytye of Ireland and of certeyne gentilmen of the 

 same countrye. Joseph Holand, 1585." 



This Joseph Holand was father of Pliillp Holand, 

 who was Portcullis tempore James I. ; and Gibbon, 

 Bluemantle, says he was a "collector of rarities." 



By the kindness of an antiquarian friend I have 

 three impressions of different book-plates of the 

 celebrated Pepys. I am not aware that they are 

 rare ; but one is curious, as consisting merely of 

 his initials " S. P." in ornamented Roman capitals, 

 elegantly and tastefully interlaced with two anchors 

 and cables, with liis motto in a scroll above tlieni.

Sermon of Bishop Jeremy Taylor (Vol. iv., 

 p. 251.). — I beg to acknowledge the favour of 

 ]\Ir. Crosst.ey's communication (which, from an 

 accident, I have only just seen) respecting a ser- 

 mon of Bishop Taylor's, and to iufijrm him that I 

 have been intending to produce it in the conclud-
