PREFATORY NOTE.

FOR the materials of the earlier of the 'Lives' contained in this volume I have been chiefly indebted to the Collection of State Papers at the Rolls House; to the PrivyCouncil Registers at the Council Office; and to many

manuscripts in the Cottonian, Harleian, Sloane, and Lansdowne Collections at the British Museum.

HIGHGATE; 6th May, 1870.

The liberal deviseth liberal things; and by

liberal things shall he stand.

ISAIAH, xxxii, 8.

Man's only relics are his benefits ;

These, be there ages, be there worlds, between,

Retain him in communion with his kind.

LANDOR (Count Julian).
