From a curious print of the time is taken (Plate 49) a butcher's dog, 

 as known in 1652. The print accompanies the life of Hind, the great

 The dogs (Plates 50 and 51) engraved by W. Faithorne, are drawn from 

 the illuftrations of the Englim tranflation of Homer, by John Ogilby 

 (London, 1660, in folio). The laft, but not leaft, drawing (Plate 52) is 

 from an engraving by Cornelius van Noorden (1683), in the Print-room 

 of the Britifh Mufeum.
