 times sold, and thirteen times made a slave : he returned to Lisbon, Sep- 

 tember 22, 1558, A translation of his Voyages will be found in the list of 

 Authorities, No. 33 ; and the passage alluded to by Walton is in chap. 79, 

 p. 319. The paragraph in which this traveller is mentioned did not ap- 

 pear until Walton's Second Edition.

See No. 35 in the foregoing list, p. 983, marginal letter D, in that 

 volume. Those passages from the words, "And for the lawfulness," 

 down to "great learning have been," did not appear until Walton's 

 Second Edition.

 Doctor Nowel, 



William Perkins was a learned divine, and a pious and laborious 

 preacher ; and Dr. William Whitaker was an eminent writer in the Rom- 

 ish controversy, and Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of 

 Cambridge. They both flourished at the close of the sixteenth century ; 

 and the love of the latter for Angling is mentioned in Fuller's Holy State, 

 book iii. chap. 13. Dr. Alexander Nowel was a learned divine, and a 

 famous preacher in the reign of King Edward VI. ; upon whose death he, 

 with many other Protestants, fled to Germany, where he lived several 

 years. In 1561 he was made Dean of St. Paul's ; and died in 1601. His 

 monument was consumed in 1666 ; but the inscription and an engraving 

 of the tomb will be found in Dugdale's History of St. Paul's. There has 

 been considerable dispute as to the Catechism alluded to by Walton : and 

 it seems almost certain that it is not the one printed in the Book of Com- 

 mon Prayer. See Fuller's Worthies, Lane. 115, Athen. Oxon. 113, and

An eminent scholar and statesman, born at Bocton Hall in Kent, in 

 1568, and educated at Winchester School and New College, Oxford. 

 Having travelled about nine years, he became Secretary to Robert Dev- 

 ereux, Earl of Essex ; but upon his attainder he again went to the Conti- 

 nent, and attached himself to the Duke of Florence, who sent him as Am- 

 bassador to James VL of Scotland. When that Monarch came to be 

 King of England, he received Wotton into his service, knighted him, and 

 employed him as his principal Ambassador. About 1624 he took Dea-
