=1901.= LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS BY GEORGE CHAPMAN, BEN JONSON, etc., Bertram Dobell, printed in _The Athenæum_, Nos. 3830-3833. These "letters and documents" form part of a small quarto MS. volume of about 90 leaves, containing "copies of letters, petitions, or other documents dating from about 1580 to 1613." Mr. Dobell, to whom their publication is due, considers "that the writer or collector of the documents can have been no other than George Chapman." Six of these letters are reprinted in Prof. Schelling's edition of _Eastward Hoe_ and _The Alchemist_, 1903. =1903.= THE SOURCE OF CHAPMAN'S "THE CONSPIRACIE AND TRAGEDIE OF CHARLES, DUKE OF BYRON" AND "THE REVENGE OF BUSSY D'AMBOIS," F. S. Boas, in _The Athenæum_, No. 3924, Jan. 10th. =1903.= SHAKESPEARE AND THE RIVAL POET, Arthur Acheson. John Lane. An attempt to identify Chapman with "the rival poet" alluded to in Shakespeare's Sonnets. =MS.= CHORUS VATUM, Joseph Hunter, British Museum Addit. MSS. 24488, vol. v, pp. 61-66. Article on _George Chapman_. III. HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS RELATING TO BUSSY D'AMBOIS =1604-20.= HISTORIÆ SUI TEMPORIS, J. A. De Thou. The earliest editions, published in 1604, do not mention Bussy. That of 1609, which carries on the narrative to the year 1584, only mentions (lib. LII, p. 132) his proceedings during the Massacre of St. Bartholomew. It is the edition of 1620, published at Geneva, and embracing events till 1607 that includes (lib. LXVIII, p. 330 ff.) the narrative of Bussy's murder, in printed Appendix A, and (lib. CXIII, p. 558) of Renée D'Ambois's meditated revenge (cf. Introduction, p. xxxvi). The most convenient edition of De Thou's History is that published by S. Buckley in 1733. =1615.= LES HISTOIRES TRAGIQUES DE NOSTRE TEMPS, François de Rosset. The story of Bussy's love for the Countess of Montsoreau, and his murder forms the subject of the 17th Histoire, _De la mort pitoyable du valeureux Lysis_, the most important parts of which are printed in Appendix A. =1621.= JOURNAL DE HENRI III, P. de L'Estoile. Paris. =1628.= MEMOIRES ET LETTRES, Marguerite de Valois. Paris. The edition published by F. Guessard for _La Societe de l'Histoire de France_ (1842) is the most convenient. =1666.= DISCOURS SUR LES COURONNELS DE L'INFANTERIE DE FRANCE, Pierre de Bourdeille, Seigneur de Brantôme.
