Page 288. Waltorfs chamber. It seems uncertain which Walton's chamber 

 was. An illustration is given on page 342. The authority is given in the List 

 of Illustrations. 



Page 292. the little fishing-house. Cotton, in his " Epistle to John Brad- 

 shaw, Esq.," printed in his Tosthumous Poems, thus alludes to his Fishing-house : 



My R'rver still through the same channel glides 

 Clear from the tumult, salt, and dirt of tides, 

 And my poor Fishing-house, my seat's best grace. 

 Stands frm and faithfull in the self same place, 

 I left it four months since, and ten to one 

 I go a-Jishmg ere t-wo days are gone. N. 



Page 314. If any man such praises have from Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, 

 Book i., which reads, 



For if my man must praises have, 



What then must I, that keep the knave? 



Page 322. Isabella coloured. Isabella, spezie di colore che partecipa del 

 bianco e di giallo. Altierfs Dictionary. A kind of whitish yellow, or as some say, 

 .a buff colour a little soiled. 



How it came by this name will appear from the following anecdote, for which 

 I am obliged to a very ingenious and learned lady. The Archduke Albertus, who 

 had married the Infanta Isabella, daughter of Philip II. of Spain, with whom he 

 had the Low Countries in dowry, in the year 1602, having determined to lay 

 siege to Ostend, then in the possession of the heretics, his pious princess, who 

 attended him in that expedition, made a vow, that until it was taken, she would 

 not change her clothes. Contrary to expectation, as the story says, it was three 

 years before the place was reduced, in which time her highness's linen had 

 acquired the above mentioned hue. H.
