P. I.—p. 1. DONCASTRIANA. THE RIVER DON. Rivers from bubbling springs Have rise at first; and great from abject things. MIDDLETON. CHAPTER XXXIV. P. I.—p. 11. MORAL INTEREST OF TOPOGRAPHICAL WORKS. LOCAL ATTACHMENT. Let none our Author rudely blame Who from the story has thus long digrest; But for his righteous pains may his fair fame For ever travel, whilst his ashes rest. SIR WILLILAM DAVENANT. INTERCHAPTER III.—p. 20. THE AUTHOR QUESTIONS THE PROPRIETY OF PERSONIFYING CIRCUMSTANCE, DENIES THE UNITY AND INDIVISIBILITY OF THE PUBLIC, AND MAY EVEN BE SUSPECTED OF DOUBTING ITS OMNISCIENCE AND ITS INFALLIBILITY. _Ha forse Testa la plebe, ove si chiuda in vece Di senno, altro che nebbia? o forma voce Chi sta più saggia, che un bebù d'armento?_ CHIABRERA. CHAPTER XXXV. P. I.—p. 24. DONCASTRIANA. POTTERIC CARR. SOMETHING CONCERNING THE MEANS OF EMPLOYING THE POOR, AND BETTERING THEIR CONDITION.

Do, pious marble, let thy readers know What they and what their children owe To Drayton's name, whose sacred dust We recommend unto thy trust. Protect his memory, and preserve his story; Remain a lasting monument of his glory; And when thy ruins shall disclaim To be the treasurer of his name, His name that cannot fade shall be An everlasting monument to thee. EPITAPH IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. CHAPTER XXXVII. P. I.—p. 37. ANECDOTES OF PETER HEYLYN AND LIGHTFOOT, EXEMPLIFYING THAT GREAT KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ALWAYS APPLICABLE TO LITTLE THINGS; AND THAT AS CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME, SO IT MAY WITH EQUAL TRUTH SOMETIMES BE SAID THAT KNOWLEDGE ENDS THERE. A scholar in his study knows the stars, Their motion and their influence, which are fix'd, And which are wandering; can decypher seas, And give each several land his proper bounds: But set him to the compass he's to seek, Where a plain pilot can direct his course From hence unto both the Indies. HEYWOOD. CHAPTER XXXVIII. P. I.—p. 43. THE READER IS LED TO INFER THAT A TRAVELLER WHO STOPS UPON THE WAY TO SKETCH, BOTANIZE, ENTOMOLOGIZE OR MINERALOGIZE, TRAVELS WITH MORE PLEASURE AND PROFIT TO HIMSELF THAN IF HE WERE IN THE MAIL COACH. _Non servio materiæ sed indulgeo; quæ quo ducit sequendum est, non quo invitat._ SENECA. INTERCHAPTER IV.—p. 54. ETYMOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES CONCERNING THE REMAINS OF VARIOUS TRIBES OR FAMILIES MENTIONED IN SCRIPTURAL HISTORY. All things are big with jest; nothing that's plain But may be witty, if thou hast the vein. HERBERT.
