_Brownist._ The Brownists were the religious followers of Robert Browne (c. 1550-c. 1633); they were afterwards known as Independents or Congregationalists. P. 86. Upon Mr. Fletcher's Plays. The first folio edition of Beaumont and Fletcher's _Comedies and Tragedies_ was published in 1647. Vaughan's lines are not, however, amongst the commendatory verses there given. _Field's or Swansted's overthrow._ Nathaniel Field and Eliard Swanston, who appears to be meant by Swansted, were well-known actors. They were both members of the King's Company about 1633. P. 90. Upon the Poems and Plays of the ever-memorable Mr. William Cartwright. This was printed, together with verses by Tho. Vaughan and many other writers, in William Cartwright's _Comedies, Tragi-comedies, with other Poems_, 1651. P. 94. An Elegy on the Death of Mr. R. Hall, slain at Pontefract, 1648. Miss Southall thinks that the subject of this elegy may have been a son of Richard Hall, of High Meadow, in the Forest of Dean, co. Gloucester. These Halls were connected with the Winters, a Breconshire family. Mr. C. H. Firth ingeniously suggests to me that for R. Hall we should read R. Hall[ifax], and points out that a Robert Hallyfax was one of the garrison at the first siege of Pontefract in 1645. He may have been at the second siege also. (R. Holmes, _Sieges of Pontefract_, p. 20.) P. 97. To my learned Friend, Mr. T. Powell, upon his Translation of Malvezzi's "Christian Politician." The book referred to is _The Pourtract of the Politicke Christian-Favourite_. By Marquesse Virgilio Malvezzi, 1647. This is a translation of _Il Ritratto del Privato Politico Christiano_, published at Bologna in 1635. It does not contain Vaughan's verses, and no translator's name is given. The preface of another translation from Malvezzi, the _Stoa Triumphans_ (1651), is, however, signed "T. P." P. 99. To my worthy Friend, Master T. Lewes. Some of the lines in this poem are borrowed from Horace's verses, _Ad Thaliarcham_ (Book I., Ode 9): "Vides, ut alta stet nive candida Soracte, nec iam sustineant onus Sylvae laborantes, geluque Flumina constiterint acuto? * * * * * Quid sit futurum eras, fuge quaerere; Quam sors dierum cunque debit; lucro Appone." G. G. Dr. Grosart thinks that T. Lewes was "probably of Maes-mawr, opposite Newton, on the south side of the Usk." Miss Southall identifies him with Thomas Lewis, incumbent in 1635 of Llanfigan, near Llansantffread. He was expelled from his living, but returned to it at the Restoration. P. 100. To the most excellently accomplished Mrs. K. Philips.
