William Beeston was, and what or where his journal is? or refer me to
any accessible information about Charles II.'s connection with the buccaneers, or that may support Bryan Edwards's favourable opinion of the Jamaica buccaneers and of Sir Henry Morgan? C. _Travelling in 1590.--Richard Hooker._--Could any of your readers give me some particulars of travelling at the above period between London and Salisbury? I should also feel greatly indebted for any _unpublished_ particulars in the life of the "Judicious Richard Hooker" after his marriage. Answers might be sent, either through "NOTES AND QUERIES," or direct to me, W. HASTINGS KELKE. Drayton Beauchamp, Tring. _Decker's Raven's Almanack--Nash's Terrors of the Night, &c._--Having lately picked up a volume of old tracts, I am anxious to learn how far I may congratulate myself on having met with a prize. Among the contents are-- 1. "The Rauen's Almanacke," for the year 1609, purporting to be by T. Deckers. Is this the same person with Thomas Dekker the dramatist? 2. Nashe's "Terrors of the Night" (wanting eight leaves at the beginning.) Of this, Beloe (the only authority within my reach) says, that only one copy is known to exist; can his statement be correct? |
