_The OLD SERIES_

Will represent the following classes of books:--

a Early printed translations from the Classics, as those by J. HEYWOOD, T.
PHAER, R. STANYHURST, A. GOLDING, T. MAY, and others: or from the
Continental literatures of their times.

b Romances, "histories," satires, epigrams, "love pamphlets," poems, and
other pieces by R. BRAITHWAITE; N. BRETON; T. CAMPION, M.D.; H. CHETTLE; T.
CHURCHYARD; S. DANIEL; F. DAVISON; M. DRAYTON; T. DECKER; G. GASCOIGNE; S.
HAWES; T. LODGE, M.D.; A. MUNDAY; W. PAINTER; G. PETTIE; B. RICH; S.
ROWLANDS; J. TAYLOR, the "Water Poet;" W. WARNER; and others. Some of
these productions are the ground works of SHAKESPEARE's plays.

c Some quaint sermons or other characteristic books by Puritans: together
with some 20 or 25 tracts of the _Martin Marprelate Controversy_:
1588-1590 A.D. A complete set of the original editions of these "laughing
libels" now about to be reproduced would fetch from L200 to L250; as many
of them were secretly printed at JOHN PENRY's wandering press, and are now
of extraordinary scarcity.

d A brief Selection from the earlier and later Drama down to the time of
DRYDEN: not forgetting the annual pageants of the Lord Mayor on the 29th
of October, the Court Revels, and the Masks at the Inns of Court. Also
some books attacking or defending the Stage.

e Remarkable books like Sir T. ELYOT's _Governor_; Sir T. WILSON's
_Rhetoric and Logic: The Mirror for Magistrates_; J. HOWELL's _Epistolae Ho
ELIANAE_; Colonel S. ALLEN's _Killing no Murder_; W. BRADFORD's _Of New
Plimouth_; W. THOMAS' _Historie of Italie_; J. LAMBARD's _Perambulation of
Kent_; Bp. J. JEWELL's _Apologie_; Sir T. SMITH's _Commonwealth of
England_; and also books remarkable as being the first produced in any
country.

f The Controversy with Rome in the first phase of the English Reformation;
as represented by the works of W. TYNDALE; Sir T. MORE; C. SAINT GERMAN;
R. BAR
