Chambord. 3. Ferdinand. 4. Marie, wife of Don Juan, brother of the present
de jure King of Spain, Carlos VI. J.K. _Nicholas Breton's Fantasticks_ (Vol. ii., p. 375.).--In reply to the second Bibliographical Query of J. MT., Edinburgh, respecting Nicholas Breton's _Fantasticks_, I beg to inform him that my copy is perfect, and contains twenty-two leaves. The title is _Fantasticks: seruing for a perpetuall Prognostication_, with the subjects of the twenty-four _Descants_, as they are called, in prose, contained in the volume. 4to. bl. lett. London: Printed for Francis Williams, 1626. After this is a dedication "To the worshipfull and worthy knight Sir Marke Ive, of Rivers Hall, in Essex;" and a short address "To the Reader," one leaf. It is an entertaining work, and contains some curious and useful remarks on our ancient manners, customs, and habits. My copy had successively belonged to Garrick, Fillingham, and Heber; the latter of whom has written in it, "Who has ever seen another copy?" T.C. Strand. _Gaudentio di Lucca_ (Vol. ii., pp. 247. 298. 327.).--The Rev. Simon Berington, the author of _The Memoirs of Gaudentio di Lucca_, "of whom" MR. CROSSLEY (Vol. ii., p. 328.) "regrets that so little is known," was the fourth son of John Berington, of Winesley, co. Hereford, Esquire, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Wolrich, of Dudmaston, co. Salop, Bart. He was born 1679. He studied and took holy orders at Douay College. |
