Sm. 4to, sewed. £1 10s At the time of its publication this satirical poem was attributed to Henry Fielding. In his preface to David Simple published in 1744 Fielding denied the authorship. This appears to be an early issue of the First Edition without the pseudonym Porcupinus Pelagius on the title; otherwise it agrees with the description in Mr, Cross’s Biblio- graphy of Fielding (the History or Henry Fretpinc, vol. 3, p. 343). 142 FINGLAS (Baron Patrik), A Breviat of the Conqueste of Irelande and the decay of the same.

Hole, fine copy, in con- temporary calf gilt. ; £15 15s This copy belonged to Elizabeth, Lady Berkeley, and has her initials E.B. several times repeated on the back. On a fly-leaf is an entry giving the date (10th April, 1627) of the birth of her son George, afterwards First Earl Berkeley, This is of importance as the date of his birth is not recorded in the CompLeTe PEERAGE. Another entry of interest written 21 years later is in the handwriting of John Pearson, after- wards Bishop of Chester and famous for his book on “The Creed.” Pearson was then chaplain to the Berkeleys, and. this is what he has written:— On ye first day of December in ye yeare of ye Lord one thousand six hundred forty eight John Turner son to John Turner Barrister and Mrs, Jeny Turner his wife was baptised at Asted in ye County of Surrey by mee John Pearson. Godfathers.—Mr, George Berkeley. Mr. John Pepys. Godmother.—Mrs. Elizabeth Pepys. : John Pepys was the “Cosen Pepys of Salisbury Court” (and of Ashtead) mentioned by Samuel Pepys in his Diary, and his daughter Jane was the Jeny Turner of this inscription and the Madam Turner of the Diary. Mr. Whitear in his volume “ More Pepysiana” 1927.gives a pedigree of the Turner family (p. 61) but does not record the name of this son John amongst the children of John and Jane Turner.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b33161598_0018.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
