ndars of Domestic, Foreign, Spanish, Venetian, Scottish and Irish State Papers. Other official sources are the _Acts of the Privy Council_ (vols. i.-xxix.); Lords' and Commons' Journals, D'Ewes' Journals, Off. Ret. M.P.'s; Rymer's _Foedera_; Collins's _Sydney State Papers_; Nichols's _Progresses of Elizabeth_. See also Strype's Works (26 vols.), Parker, Soc. Publ. (56 vols.); Camden's _Annales_; Holinshed, Stow and Speed's _Chron._; Hayward's _Annals_; Machyn's _Diary_, Leycester Corr., Egerton Papers (Camden Soc.). For Burghley's early life, see Cooper's _Athenae Cantab._; Baker's _St John's Coll., Camb._, ed. Mayor; _Letters and. Papers of Henry VIII._; Tytler's _Edward VI._; Nichols's _Lit. Remains of Edward VI._; Leadam's _Court of Requests, Chron. of Queen Jane_ (Camden Soc.) and throughout Froude's _Hist._ No satisfactory life of Burghley has yet appeared; some valuable anonymous notes, probably by Burghley's servant Francis Alford, were printed in Peck's _Desiderata Curiosa_ (1732), i. 1-66; other notes are in Naunton's _Fragmenta Regalia_. Lives by Collins (1732), Charlton and Melvil (1738), were followed by Nares's biography in three of the most ponderous volumes (1828-1831) in the language; this provoked Macaulay's brilliant but misleading essay. M.A.S. Hume's _Great Lord Burghley_ (1898) is largely a piecing together of the references to Burghley in the same author's _Calendar of Simancas MSS._ The life by Dr Jessopp (1904) is an expansion of his article in the _Dict. Nat. Biog._; it is still only a sketch, though the volume contains a mass of genealogical and other incidental information by other hands. (A. F. P.) [1] This was the form always used by Cecil himself. BURGKMAIR, HANS or JOHN (1473-? 1531), German painter and engraver on wood, believed to have been a pupil of Albrecht Duerer, was born at Augsburg. Professor Christ ascribes to him about 700 woodcuts, most of them distinguished by that spirit and freedom which we admire in the works of his supposed master. His principal work is the series of 135 prints representing the triumphs of the emperor Maximilian I. They are of large size, executed in chiaroscuro, from two blocks, and convey a high idea of his powers. Burgkmair was also an excellent painter in fresco and in distemper, specimens of which are in the galleries of Munich and Vienna, carefully and solidly finished in the style of the old German school.
