Painters in the Reign of^een Elizabeth, 27 5 



Dr. Meade had two more, one of William 

 Parr marquis of Northampton ; the other of 

 Robert Dudley earl of Leicefter, engraved 

 in Evelyn's difcourfe on Englifh m'^^dals. 

 The author fays, that when Leicefter quitted 

 Holland, he caufed feveral medals to be en- 

 graved, which he gave to his friends there. 

 The medal in queftion is remarkable for the 

 impertinence of the reverfe ; iheep grazing, 

 and a dog turning from them i under his 

 feet, Invitus defero — round, Non gregera 

 fed ingratos. Vertue mentions others by 

 the fame workman, of the earl of Pembroke 

 and Sir Thomas Bodley. 



Robert Adams, furveyor of the queen's 

 buildings, feems to have been a man of abi- 

 lities. I cannot fpecify his works in archi- 

 tedlure, but there are two plans extant 

 that he publifhed -, one is a large print of 

 Middleburgh dated 1588; the other, of the 

 fame date, is a fmall parchment roll, drawn 

 with the pen and intituled Thamefis De~ 

 fcriptio ; fhewing by lines crofs the river 

 how far and from whence cannon-balls may 

 obftrudl the paflage of any fhip upon an in- 

 vafion, from Tilbury to London, with pro- 

 per diftances marked for placing the guns.
