[194] In one passage, Hearne says that such was Hudson's self-esteem that he reckoned himself equal to Erasmus or Sir Thomas More, while all that was curious in his books was gained from Hearne himself or others. (_MS. Diary_, vol. lviii. p. 158.) [195] Vol. lxxxiv. pp. 59, 60. [196] Vol. cxxii. p. 158. A.D. 1720. About this time, one John Hawkins, a highwayman (who was executed in May, 1722), is said by an accomplice, Ralph Wilson, who published an account of his robberies, to have defaced some pictures in the Library. The University is said to have offered £100 for discovery, and a poor Whig tailor was taken up on suspicion, and narrowly escaped a whipping. No particulars, however, of Hawkins' act are given in the pamphlet, and no further notice of it has been found elsewhere. Joseph Swallow, B.A., who died in this year, is found from the Accounts to have been employed, for some short time, in the Library. In this year the titles of all books which were bought out of the Library funds begin to be recorded, together with their prices; they are entered in a Register marked with the letter C. _Visitors' Fees._ See 1713. A.D. 1721. The inscription on the Schools' Tower, beneath the statue of James I, was renewed in this year[197]. Sir Godfrey Kneller presented his own portrait to the Gallery. [197] Hearne's _Diary_, xci. 196. A.D. 1722. Mrs. Mary Prince is recorded to have presented heads of our Blessed LORD and of King Charles I, painted by herself. They appear to be the two paintings on copper, now hanging in the Sub-librarian's study, called _Mus. Bibl. II._ Beneath that of our LORD is the following inscription: 'This present figure is the symylytude of our Lorde Jesus our Saviour, imprinted in amyrald by the Predecessors of the Great Turke, & sent to Pope Innocent y^e Eight at the cost of the Great Turke for a token, for this caus, to redeme his brother that was taken prisner.' The inscription is, of course, if the painting be Mrs. Prince's work, reproduced _literatim_ from some older copy. The attachment to the old Stuart family, which was so warmly cherished in Oxford, appears to have lingered in the Bodleian, notwithstanding Hearne's departure, who himself would scarcely have thought that a vestige of it had been left behind. For in the Benefaction Register for this year, the gift of a portrait of Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, from his widow Catherine, a natural daughter of James II, is entered as coming from 'filia Regis Jacobi II, του μακαριτου.' _Chrysanthus, Patriarch of Jerusalem._ See 1715. A.D. 1723.
