I reeeved a litle billet before by your sister Williams b in the way of an interim till you had better leasure, but presently upon it went to Askot, where I met with your brother Carleton ° (comming from the buriall of your uncle Goodwind), who told me Tobie Mathew e had shewed him a letter from you wherin you complained much of want, and what narrow straights you were like to be driven to, marvailing you had toucht no such matter in your letters to him, and therewithall began to dilate to me what he had don and could do for you, but the conclusion was that his abilitie is not to supplie all wants, and therefore you must trust to yourself and make your owne fortune.

I am exceeding glad to heare how well you are entertained by my Lord Ambassador,1 of whom I presumed no lesse, for though I alwayes knewe him to be paucorum hominum, yet he hath ever shewed himself an honourable fast frend where he found vertue and desert. Mr. Evers b is in Ireland with the Lord Borrough,0 between whom and Sir John Norrisd there is lately a solemne pacification made with much counterfet kindenes on both sides. The old Deputie e is come home very fat they say, both in body and purse, having made a luckie conclusion of his government with the over- throw and death of Feffe Mackhugh, an auncient and troublesom rebell; upon which service he made three knightes at his comming away, viz., Calistenes Brooke/ Thomas Maria Wingfield,8 and one Trevire,n a Welchman. Sir Thomas Norris1 Lady was lately brought abed there of three daughters, which the Lord Norrisk imputes to the fertilitie of the soile, and exemplifies it by a mare he sent two yeares ago to his sonne Thomas that brought two foales.

The common sort talke of Callais, others of the Islands of Tercera, but the most litelie in mine opinion is to set upon the King of Spaines navie whersoever they can finde it, or to meet with the Indian fleet. Theire whole number consists of fifteen of the Quenes shippes, besides the two Spanish shippes that were taken the last yeare, (which be new fashioned after the English manner,) and of two-and-twentie men of warre of Holland and some fowre-and-twentie flie boats and hoyes that serve for cariage of men and vitailes.

The presse of gentlemen wilbe very great, but I will not stand to set downe any but one or two of your acquaintaunce, that is, your cousin Mighell Dormer,* whom I can by no meanes yet disswade, and Hugh Bestonb that standes to be Treasurer of the iorney, though I doubt he shall not be troubled with much receit, for I am half of our Doctor's ° opinion, that warrants him, if he have it, that a well sadled rat may cary all his accompts. But his true errand is to be knighted as sone or before Sir Peter Evers,"5 neither doth he dissemble it greatly to his frends, but sayes merelie he hath beri a scabd squire a great while, and could now be content to be a paltrie knight the rest of his time. Sir John North diede here on Sonday last, and is thought to have left his lady f but a meane wi- dowe. Sir Thomas Wroughton went likewise much about the same time, and old Duns when I was in Oxfordshire. Sir John Payton is lately made Lieutenant of the Towre, and Sir Henry Cocke either • is, or upon the point to be, sworne Coferer of the Quenes houshold. Philip Scudamore8 is very forward and like to have Mrs. Lovell the last Coferer's widow, to the great dislike of some of his best frendes. And your Lady Umpton1' is in parlee with Mr. George Sherly of Northampton or Lecestershire. This terme, here was one Longe, a Captaine of Somersetshire, condemned in the Starchamber in 500 markes and to stand on the pillorie, for chopping and making port- sale of his souldiers. We have here a new play of humors in very great request, and I was drawn alonge to it by the common applause, but my opinion of it is (as the fellow saide of the shearing of hogges), that there was a great crie for so litle wolle. This is all I can • Knighted April 1st, 1604 ; died September 1624. b Hugh Beeston of Beeston ; knighted May 7, 1603 ; Receiver General for the Crown in Cheshire and North Wales; died 1626. c Dr. Gilbert, afterwards physician to the Queen ; died 1603. 6 Sir Peter Evers, of Lincolnshire, was knighted May 11, 1603. e Son of Roger Lord North ; died June 5th, 1597. f Dorothy ; daughter and co-heir of Valentine Dale, Doctor of Laws.

O bethincke me of for the present, neither can you chuse but be rea- sonablie satisfied, for what you want in waight you have in measure. Yet is the greatest newes behinde, that I am upon a viage into Ire- land with Mr. Wallop," who with his wife,b her mother,0 and your cousin Lytton,d have so earnestly intreated me, that partly at theire request, and partly being weary of idleness I have yeelded, and hope to be setting forward within this moneth, and to be here dgaine before Bartlemew-tide.

  • Printing Identities: Studies in Social Bibliography and Social
    PRINTING IDENTITIES: STUDIES IN SOCIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL NETWORKS IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND’S PRINT CULTURE by WARD RISVOLD (Under the Direction of Fredric Dolezal) ABSTRACT Over the last century scholars have privileged the “author” or have privileged the text, when trying to interpret the meaning of a literary artifact. Even more historically minded scholars have tended to focus on the context or the cultural milieu surrounding the author or a text, but scholars rarely consider the semiotic value of the printers and the booksellers listed on a title page. My dissertation addresses this absence in literary scholarship by examining the relationships or social networks that connect the printed artifacts to the people involved in their production. My argument asserts that early modern English writers, printers, and booksellers often shared ideological beliefs and that these shared beliefs can tell us something about the text they produced. My method combines traditional archival research with the technology used in Social Network Analysis. By running large databases, such as Early English Books Online, English Short Title Catalogue, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, through social network software, my research was able to visualize large and small social networks that might otherwise go unnoticed when using traditional methods. My dissertation avers that the printer of a text matters to our understanding of the literary work. For instance, I argue that Edmund Spenser employs Hugh Singleton, a known radical Protestant and Marian exile, to print the Shepheardes Calender, because Spenser wants to align himself with the Protestant faction with whom Singleton is associated. Through an examination of Singleton’s network, a much more politically radical poem begins to emerge.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis is an examination of Alexander Pope’s relationships with his patrons, the primary purpose of which is to discover the ways in which patronage mattered to him. Much of the thesis is a study of Pope’s relationships with two particular patrons: Richard Boyle, 3'"^ Earl of Burlington (1695-1753) and Allen Bathurst, T* Baron and later 1®‘ Earl Bathurst (1684-1775). It argues that these two were his most important patrons. Taking Pope’s relationships with these two men as case studies, it examines his claim that his relationships with his patrons were governed not only by need but by friendship. Chapter 1, ‘Living “among the Great”: the Historical Background to Pope’s Relationships with his Patrons’, consists of six sections.
