    Three other books published by Guy belong to later dates, viz.:— Jacob's Ladder. By Jo. Hall, B.D., 1G98; ninth edition. Printed by F. Collins for Thos. Guy at the Oxford Arms in Lumbar Street. A small quai'to : Death's Vision, repiesented in a Philosophical Sacred Poem. Printed for Thos. Guy, 1709. At Canterbury is a copy of the following :— Jesu Christi D. N. Novum Testamentum sine Novum Foedus. Interprete Theodoro Beza. Lond.: Impensis Thomse Guy ad Insignia Oxoniensia in vico vulgo dicto Lumbard Street, 1705. This is Beza's Latin Testament. Its publication indicates Guy's continued interest in Bible publishing, though he had long since discontinued his Oxford agency. A further interesting detail about Guy's publishing career is made known—and, so far as we know, solely by this one incident—by the title-])age of the copy of Coles's Latin Dictionary, 1677, at the Bodleian. It was printed '' for Peter Parker . . . and Thomas and John Guy ; thus showing that Thomas Guy had his brother John (referred to in the chapter on Guy and Tamworth) in partnership with him at that date. How long this continued we do not know. No other imprint has been discovered bearing his name. An entry in the Copyright Registry of the Stationers' Company, dated March 24th, 1710-11, records the whole copyright of Emmenologia, as belonging to Thomas Guy; no doubt it was Dr. John Freind's well-known book, first published in 1703. It is of interest as being probably the only book Guy published relating to a medical subject. Some bibliographical details respecting Guy's books may be found interesting to book-lovers.
