Willis's Current Notes, No. 14, February 1852
History -- Periodicals
SIR,--In your "Current Notes" for this month (p. 7), a correspondent, A.
K., enquires about "Robert Hoblyn" and his Works. Presuming he has made
a mistake in the name, and that he means "Richard" instead of "Robert,"
I send herewith a list of some of "Richard's" Works,
I remain, yours,
Mr. Willis. THOMAS GRAY.
Richard D. Hoblyn, A.M., Oxon, author of "Medical Terms," "Scientific
Terms," "Manuals of Natural Philosophy of Chemistry, and of the Steam
Engine," "First Books in Science," &c. &c.
ROBERT HOBLYN.
4, Birchin Lane,
February 7th, 1852.
SIR,--In answer to a letter in your "Price Current" for January 25th,
(p. 7), addressed to you, and signed "A. K." I beg to inform your
correspondent that "Robert Hoblyn," published the following works:--
"Bibliotheca Hoblyniana," 8vo. London, 1767.
"The First Book of the Georgics of Virgil, Lat. and Eng. with
Translation in blank verse, and notes, 8vo. London, 1825."
It is worthy to notice that "M. A." is affixed to his name in the last
named work.
I am not aware that he published any other works; but a perusal of the
Catalogue of Printed Books in the British Museum would satisfactorily
decide this point.
Perhaps your correspondent means "Richard Hoblyn," whose publications
are very numerous.
Your obedient servant,
S. I. TUCKER.
LAVERS, _the Bookseller_.
Overseal, Ashby de la Zouch.
SIR,--I should be very much obliged to any of your correspondents who
will give me information respecting Mr. Lavers, a bookseller in London,
who flourished about the third quarter of the last century; especially
any thing relating to his wife and descendants.
Very faithfully yours,
J. M. GRESLEY.
13th Feb. a.d. 1852.
TRADESMEN'S TOKENS.--Can any of your readers inform me if there are any
Tradesmen's Tokens of Scotland, issued during the 17th century; and if
not, can any cause be assigned for it. I have a very large collection of
tokens of the 17th century, of England, Wales, and Ireland, but not one
of Scotland, which is very singular, as the towns of Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Aberdeen, Sterling, Perth, &c. must have had as great need of a small
currency, as many small villages in England, of which there are many
specimens.
