Cole (John), 1792-1848 
John Cole, of Scarborough, bookseller, historian, anti- 
quary, schoolmaster, lecturer on natural philosophy, etc., 
was born October 3, 1792, at Weston Favell, Northants. In 
all his vocations he is said to have been uniformly unsuccess- 
ful, although his literary activities appear to have been re- 
markable. He generally printed but few copies of his books, 
of which some were on coloured paper. His works are 
said to number seventy -two, but scarcely one relates to our 
subject.

Collett (Anthony), nat. 1877 
Mr. Collett, of 5 Stone Buildings, Lincoln’s Inn, AV*C., 
was bom at Cromhall, Gloucestershire, August 22, 1877, and 
educated at Bradfield and Oriel, Oxford. 
He tells us in his preface that “ the chief intention of
