Page 5. — I am enabled from Mr. Johnson's lately pub- 

 lished History of English Gardening, to add a very early 

 tract on that subject, and I take the liberty of transcribing 

 his exact words : " A Boke of Husbandry, London, 4to. 

 This little work is very rare, being one of the productions 

 from the press of Wynkin de Worde. It consists of but 

 twelve leaves, and is without date, but certainly was not of 

 a later year than 1500. The following extracts explain its 

 nature. ' Here begyneth a treatyse of Husbandry which 

 Mayster Groshede somtyme Bysshop of Lyncoln made, and 

 translated it out of Frensshe into Englyshe, whiche techeth 

 all maner of men to governe theyr londes, tenementes, and 

 demesnes ordinately.' 



' Here endeth the Boke of Husbandry, and of Plant ynge, 

 and Grajfynge of Trees and Vynes.' '' 



About the year 1797 the late Mr. Nichols printed the 

 Life of Robert Grosseteste, the celebrated Bishop of Lin- 

 coln. By Samuel Pegge, LL.D. With an Account of the 

 Bishop's Works, &C. Illustrated with plates of his Tomb, 

 Ring, and Crosier. 4to. Price 13s. in boards.
