is country. To the very
last he appears to have been molested; and among his
persecutors, the learned editor of Josephus and Dionysius
Halicarnasseus, Dr. Hudson, must be ranked, to the disgrace
of himself and the party which he espoused. "Hearne was
buried in the church yard of St. Peter's (at Oxford) in the
East, where is erected over his remains, a tomb, with an
inscription written by himself,

Amicitiae Ergo.
Here lyeth the Body of
THOMAS HEARNE, M.A.
Who studied and preserved
Antiquities.
He dyed June 10, 1735.
Aged 57 years.
Deut. xxxii: 7.
Remember the days of old;
consider the years
of many generations;
ask thy Father
and he will shew thee;
thy elders
and they will tell thee.
Job. viii. 8, 9, 10.
Enquire I pray thee."

His magnificent collection of Natural Curiosities and MSS.
is now in the British Museum.]

published by Renouard, under the title of "_Annales de
L'Imprimerie des Alde_," in two vols., 8vo. 1804. One is
rather surprised at not finding any reference to this
masterly piece of bibliography in the last edition of Mr.
Roscoe's Leo X., where there is a pleasing account of the
establishment of the Aldine Press.]

[Footnote 12: I do not recollect having seen any book bound
by this binder. Of Padaloup, De Rome, and Baumgarten, where
is the fine collection that does not boast of a few
specimens? We will speak "anon" of the Roger Paynes,
Kalthoebers, Herrings, Stagemiers, and in Macklays of the
day!]

[Footnote 13: This is not the reproach of the age we live
in; for reprints of Bacon, Locke, and Milton have been
published with complete success. It would be ridiculous
indeed for a man of sense, and especially a University man,
to give L5 or L6
