Tycho Brahe_; Galen’s _Medicine_; Descartes’ _Philosophy_; Galileo’s _Systema Cosmicum_; Harvey’s _De Generatione Animalium_ and _De Cordis et Sanguinis Motu_; Burgersdijck’s _Philosophia Moralis_; Gassend’s _Astronomy_; Alsted’s _Physica Harmonia_; Baker’s _Arithmetic of 1607_; Tacquet’s _Mathematics_; Oughtred’s _Trigonometry_; Butler’s _Rethorick_; Keckerman’s _Logic_, and the _Logic of Molinæus_; Wright’s _Theory of Navigation_; Bosse’s _L’Art de Perspective_; Mendez Pinto’s _Voyages_, translated by Cogan; _Hornus de Originibus Americanis_; Corderio’s _Colloquies_; an _Introduction to Geography_; a book on the Art of Speaking, and another, published in 1639, on the Actions of Gunnery. Tied up in parcels were a number of pamphlets relating to the Civil War and Restoration, and including the Bishop of Worcester’s _Sermon on the Coronation of Charles II._, Cotton’s _Panegyrick on the King_, _A Noble Salutation to Charles Stewart_, and _A Plea for a Limited Monarchy_, published in the same year. Dr. Gardiner’s _Assize Sermon_ of 1653 must not be forgotten, in which he speaks of his “honoured friend and patron,” Mr. Sitwell, as a “cordial friend to Religion and Learning, Piety and Sobriety”; nor Evelyn’s _Sylva_, in which the owner of Renishaw is once mentioned, for he had supplied the author with information concerning the giant oaks of the Rivelin and Sherwood. The library as a whole is that of a practical man who wished to make the best of both worlds, and to whom the classics, divinity, law, politics and science were the only subjects worthy of serious attention. Milton had not yet published his _Paradise Lost_, and to the country squire of that day literature meant the classics, and English poetry and prose were a world unknown.
