AUBREY'S 'BRIEF LIVES' ANDREW CLARK VOL. I. HENRY FROWDE, M.A. PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD [Illustration] LONDON, EDINBURGH, AND NEW YORK [Illustration: JOHN AUBREY: AETAT. 40 From a pen-and-ink drawing in the Bodleian] 'Brief Lives,' chiefly of Contemporaries, set down by John Aubrey, between the Years 1669 & 1696 EDITED FROM THE AUTHOR'S MSS. BY ANDREW CLARK M.A., LINCOLN COLLEGE, OXFORD; M.A. AND LL.D., ST. ANDREWS WITH FACSIMILES VOLUME I. (A-H) Oxford AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1898 [Illustration: Oxford] PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRESS BY HORACE HART, M.A. PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE The rules laid down for this edition have been fully stated in the Introduction. It need only be said here that these have been scrupulously followed. Doctrine Publishing Corporation Digital Book Page 1 I may take this opportunity of saying that the text gives Aubrey's quotations, English and Latin alike, in the form in which they are found in his MSS. They are plainly cited from memory, not from book: they frequently do not scan, and at times do not even construe. A few are incorrect cementings of odd half lines. The necessary excisions have not been numerous. They suggest two reflections. The turbulence attributed to Sir Walter Raleigh seems to have made his name in the next age the centre of aggregation of quite a number of coarse stories. In the same way, Aubrey is generally nasty when he mentions the noble house of Herbert, earl of Pembroke, and the allied family of Sydney. There may be personal pique in this, for Aubrey thinks he had a narrow escape from assassination by a Herbert (i. 48); perhaps also there may be the after-glow of a Wiltshire 'feud' (i. 316). The Index gives all references to persons mentioned in the text, except to a few found only in pedigrees, or otherwise quite insignificant; also to all places of which anything distinctive is said.

This was necessary, not only on account of their number--more than 400--but because Aubrey, in compiling them, followed more than one principle of selection, writing, first, lives of authors, then, lives of mathematicians, but bringing in also lives of statesmen, soldiers, people of fashion, and personal friends. The following synopsis of the lives may serve to show (i) the heads under which they naturally fall, (ii) their chronological sequence. The mark † indicates the year or approximate year of death; ‡ denotes a life which Aubrey said he would write, but which has not been found; § is attached to the few names of foreigners.

  • Kelly's Directory Extract 1915 Malmesbury & Westport
    Kelly’s Directory Extract 1915 Malmesbury & Westport Malmesbury is an ancient market town, borough and parish, and the head of a union and county court district and petty sessions division, with a terminal station on a branch from Dauntsey, of the Great Western Railway, and is 10 miles north from Chippenham, 11 miles south west from Cirencester, 5 miles south east from Tetbury, and 92 from London, in the North Western division of the county, Malmesbury hundred, rural deanery of Malmesbury and archdeaconry and diocese of Bristol. The town is pleasantly situated on a bold eminence and is nearly surrounded by the converging branches of the Lower Avon, over which there are 6 bridges; it consists of one principal and very steep street, called High Street, crossed at the top by Oxford Street and Gloucester Street, leading to Westport St Mary. The borough was incorporated by King Athelstan, and was formerly governed, under a Charter of William III, by a high steward, an alderman and 12 capital burgesses, but under the provision of the of the Municipal Corporations Act 1883 (46 and 47 Vict c c8), it received a new Charter of Incorporation in July 1885 and is now governed by a mayor, 4 aldermen and 12 councillors: the borough returned 2 members to the parliament of 1295 and 1298 – 99, and continued to do so, with some interruptions, until the passing of the Reform Act 1832, by which the number was reduced to one, and by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 (48 and 49 Vict. C 23) the representation was merged into that of the county.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

The Wiltshire tradesmen appearing in the first and the third sections of this book had all fallen foul of the law and were being dealt with by the royal clerk of the market and the barons of the Exchequer respectively. Those in the second section had entered into recognisances undertaking to keep a particular law—that they would not sell meat in Lent. Those in the final section were licensed by the government to sell a particular commodity—tobacco.

Few of the earlier families of New England are now without something in the way of printed record of their descent, which all may read. The Fellows family, in this respect, has been unfortunate. But if so, it is not because there have been no students of its kinships. One of the earliest of American genealogists was Elnathan Fellows of Connecticut. At some time about the close of the eighteenth century he brought together a fairly complete re­ cord of the Connecticut descendants of William Fellows of Ipswich, among whose numbers he was included.

How does one put into words the boundless gratitude to the people and organizations that have made this book possible? Still, I must try. This dissertation simply would not have been possible without the patience, encouragement, and guidance of Dr. Thomas Cogswell. In addition to pointing me in the direction of the most delightful and scandalous sources in early modern England, Tom’s help and advice helped me craft the larger argument and his laughter at the content fueled my drive. Thanks to Tom I will eternally move “onward and upward.” I owe Dr. Randolph Head a great deal for his unending support, his uncanny ability to help me see the narrative flow and the bigger picture, and his dogmatic attention to questions of historical practice.
