Bodleian Library. * No printed title-page, but an engraved frontispiece by William Marshall, representing a man falling from a rock into the sea, but caught by a hand issuing from the clouds. The motto: ‘‘a@ celo salus’”’ is engraved by the side of the figure, and “ Religio Medicz”’ below it. pp. 190, and 25 lines in a page.

English, The Author. A.Crooke. London. Small 8% Dean and Chapter Library, Norwich. British Museum. Norwich Museum. No printed title-page, but an engraved frontispiece with the same device and the following words at the foot of the plate:—“A true and full coppy of that which was most emperfectly and surreptitiously printed before under the name of Religio Medici. Printed for Andrew Crooke, 1643.” The engraved frontispiece differs from that of the surreptitious
