'A mind content both crown and kingdom is.'"
(_Works_, ii. 288., ed. Dyce.) It will be observed that no mention is here made of the copy in Breton's tract; therefore this summary gains from both the correspondents of "NOTES AND QUERIES"--an addition from the one, a corroboration from the other. R.A. _Gesta Grayorum_ (No. 22. p. 351.).--"J.S." is informed that copies of the _Gesta Grayorum_ are by no means uncommon. It was originally printed {490} for _one shilling_; but the bibliomaniac must now pay from _twenty_ to _thirty shillings_ for a copy. The original, printed in 1688, does not contain the second part, which was published by Mr. Nichols for the first time. Copies are in the Bodleian, and in the University Library, Cambridge. EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. _Marylebone Gardens_ (No. 24. p. 383.).--These gardens were finally closed in 1777-8. It is not generally known that, previous to the year 1737, this "fashionable" place of amusement was entered _gratis_ by all ranks of people; but the company becoming more "select," Mr. Gough, the proprietor, determined to charge a shilling as entrance money, for which the party paying was to receive an equivalent in viands. |
