"'[Greek: Hippokratous tou Megalou hoi aphorismoi; pezikoi te kai
emmetroi.] Hippocratis Magni Aphorismi, soluti et metrici. Interprete
Joanne Heurnio medico _Ultrajectino_. _Metaphrastis_, Joanne Frero
Medico-Poëta et Radulpho Wintertono Medicinæ, et Poëseos Græcæ
studioso, _Anglis_.
Alexandri Magni Apophthegma.
[Greek: Basilikon esi, ton eu poiounta kakôs akouein.]
_Regale_ est, bene cùm feceris, male audire.
_Catabrigiæ._ _Excudebant_ Thomas Buck et Rogerus Daniel, MDCXXXIII."
The volume is 12mo., and dedicated to William [Laud?], Bishop of London.
Then follow "Reverendorum S. Theol. Professorum Censuræ," including those
of Thomas Comber, Dean of Carlisle, and Master of Trinity College,
Cambridge; Matthew Wren, Dean of Windsor, and Master of Peterhouse, &c. The
aphorisms are given each in the original Greek, with a metrical version in
the same language, followed by prose and metrical versions in Latin.
At the end of my copy is bound up, as probably it was printed to accompany
the preceding,
"Epigrammata Regiorum Medicinæ Professorum, Cantabrigiensis atque
Oxoniensis, &c. In Rad. Wintertoni Metaphrasin nuper editam, &c.,
quibus accedunt Epigrammata Therapeutica ejusdem, ad malevolorum
lectorum ægritudines."
Cantabrigiæ, same date and printers. One of the Epigrammata throws some
light on the Query in Vol. v., p. 420., as to the authorship of the _Latin_
version: Edward Hanburie, of Sidney College, says, addressing Winterton,--
"Gratum opus hoc Medicis. Tu primus carmine _Græco_
Metiris."
The volume closes with some Latin elegiac verses by Winterton on the death
of his brother Francis, who, leaving the office of Gentleman of the Privy
Chamber to the Queen,
"In Castra transiit. Is pro patria mortuus, Custrinæ,
in finibus Silesiæ, honorifice, et sicut militem decuit,
sepultus est."
This supplementary volume is partly occupied with complimentary verses by
the fellows of King's, who address Winterton as
"Medicum a suis juxta statuta designatum."
Among these is one copy by Gulielmus _Sclater_, C. R. C., "Socius Inceptor
in Artibus;" and another by Johannes _Sclater_, C. R. C., quondam Socius,
S. T. B. 1613. I indicate these as having lately called the attention of
your readers to this family.

Replies to Minor Queries.
_Family of Bullen_ (Vol. v., p. 127.).--There is a physician of that name,
who is, I believe, one of the professors in the Queen's College, Cork, and
who may probably be able to afford your correspondent E. A. G. the
information he wishes for. I have been informed that Dr. Bullen's father
asserted that his family was descended from the Boleyn family.

_Wallington's Journal_ (Vol. v., p.489.).--This volume is in my possession.
It contains much curious and interesting matter.
J. GODWIN.
28. Upper Gower Street.
