mon, 1641, 4to. He died in 1643. The passage in his Travels 

 alluded to in the text will be found in No. 39 of the foregoing 

 list, p. 209. 



Page 1 1 . The Dove was sent out of the Ark by Noah. 

 Genesis, chap. viii. 8-12. The Offering of Turtle- doves or 

 Pigeons, referred to immediately after, will be found in Leviticus 

 xii. 6. 8. and Luke ii. 24. The Descent of the Holy Ghost also 

 mentioned in the same paragraph, is related in St. Matthew iii. 

 16; St. Mark i. 10. St. Luke iii. 22; and St. John i. 32. 

 With the exception of the third reference, however, the words 

 imply that the Holy Spirit descended in the manner of a Dove, 

 over- shadowing and covering that which is beneath ; but Dr. 

 Whitby in his " Paraphrase and Commentary on the NewTesta- 

 " ment," Lond. 1727, fol. vol. i p. 370, says that even that 

 passage has the same meaning, since it is not a bocfily form as 

 of a Docc, but as a Dure which is similar to the phrase used in 

 Acts ii. 3. as of Fire. " This bodily shape," he continues, 

 " seems rather to have been that of light, or of a bright cloud, 

 " in which God usually appeared under the Old Testament, 

 " and from which he spake, and which is usually called ' the 

 " Glory of the Lord.' " Dr. Doddridge in his " Family Exposi- 

 " tor" Lond. 1760. 4to. vol. i. p. 115, Note g, says, that the 

 phrase might have been used without any actual appearance, 

 " but only a lambent flame falling from Heaven with a dove-like 

 " motion, which Dr. Scot in his Christian Life, vol. iii. p. 66, 

 " supposes to have been all. Dr. Owen and Grotius, think it was 

 " a bright Hame in the shape of a Dove, and Justin Martyr adds, 

 " that all Jordan shone with the reflection of the light." See 

 also Dr. Henry Hammond's " Paraphrase and Annotations on 

 " the New Testament," and Bishop Jeremy Taylor's " Ductor 

 " Dubitantium." Hawkins. 



P?.ge 1 1 . The laborious Bee, of whose prudence, etc. 



The following work was doubtless in Walton's memory when 

 this passage was written. " The Feminine Monarchic : or the 

 " Historie of Bees. Shewing their admirable nature and pro- 

 " perties, their generation and colonies, their gouernment, 

 " loyaltie, art, industrie, enemies, wanes, magnanimitie, etc. 

 " Together with the right ordering of them from time to time : 

 " and the sweet profit arising therefrom. Written out of ex- 

 " periment by Charles Butler. Lond. 1623. 4to." Hawkins.

 ensuing volumes, which are considered as being the best that 

 are extant on the subject of Falconry. " The Booke of Fal-
