NOTES. 397 



Jesuits at Louvain ; he was born at Antwerp in 1554 ; and be- 

 came very famous for his skill in Divinity, civil- law, mathe- 

 matics, physic, and history. He wrote several Theological 

 tracts, and a treatise entitled Hygiasticon ; see N. 26 in the 

 preceding list, from the 3rd chapter of which the sentiments in 

 the text were extracted. He died in 1623. Hawkins.

This person, an account of whom is to be derived only from 

 his writings, appears to have been an Angler by profession, and 

 an experienced cook of fish ; since he says he " had been ad- 

 " mitted into the most Ambassadors' kitchens that had come 

 " tc England for forty years, and drest fish for them ; for 

 " which, he adds, he was duly paid by the Lord Protector." 

 He spent a considerable portion of his time, and, it seems, of 

 his property also, in fishing ; and in the latter part of his life, he 

 resided in Henry the Seventh's Gifts, some alms-houses which 

 stood near the Gatehouse at Westminster. Hawkins. His 

 work on Angling will be found at No. 6 of the preceding list, 

 and the information contained in the text, is at pp. 2 and 15 of 

 the very neat reprint of that tract, published in 1821.

Page 117. Ch. Harrie. 



The verses with this signature do not appear until the 

 Second Edition ; for the dialogue in the First passes imme- 

 diately from Herbert's verses to the Beggars' Song, which is 

 there sung by Viator, without the introductory story. It is 

 most probable that the person mentioned above, was a Chris- 

 topher Harvey, M. A., Vicar of Clifton in Warwickshire; born 

 in 1597, and who lived until about 1663. The same signature 

 also appears to a copy of verses addressed to Walton on his 

 Angler ; and that collection of poems entitled the Synagogue, 

 is supposed to have been produced by the same person.

Dr. William Butler, a celebrated but eccentric Physician, 

 who was born at Ipswich about 1535, and educated at Clare- 

 Hall, Cambridge, of which he became Fellow. lie died Jan. 

 29th, L618, and was buried at St. Mary's Church, Cambridge. 



Page 118. Hear my Kenna sing a song. 



The reference to the margin indicates that Walton wishes to 

 hear Kenna, his mistress, sing the song, " Like Hermit Poor." 

 This song was set to music by Nicholas Laneare, an eminent 

 master of Walton's time, — who, it is said by Wood, was also 

 an excellent painter, and whose portrait is to be seen in the 

 Music-school at Oxford ; — and is printed with the notes, in a 

 collection entitled, " Select Musical Ayres and Dialogues," fol.
