him to write poetry. Wilde died
of apoplexy, 1679.]

Wilbred, Sir, alias Wilfred, or Wil-
frid, 992, 993, 1023. (This cannot
be, as some learned pundits are
willing to suppose, the same as Sir
Wilfred Lawson of Isell, in Cum-
berland, whom James II. created a
baronet, on March 31st, 1688;
unless the faintly discernible date
of "77" be incorrect, or not attri-
butable to 1677. It is a question for
the family historians, who delight
in what St. Paul stigmatizes as
"endless genealogies." He classes
them with "foolish questions and
contentions," to be avoided both by
Timothy and Titus, and by us other
meek ecclesiastics. The poem itself
is on p. 1023.)

Winchelsea, in Sussex, 850.
Winchelsea (Anne Finch), Countess
of, a daughter of Sir William
Kingsmill, of Sidmonton, Hants,
she died August 5, 1720. It is of
her whom Gay writes as
"still
meditating song," in his poetical
address to Pope, "Welcome from
Greece," on completing Homer, in
1720. [Compare Finch, in this 2nd
Index, to supplement imperfect
note, crowded for space, on p. 619,
which might seem to commingle
her with another and later Anne
Finch, of the same Winchelsea and
Eastwell family, alive in 1730.]

Robert Carruthers names her father
Sir Richard Kingsmill, and perhaps
not incorrectly. She had been
Maid of Honour to Mary of
Modena. Her husband, Heneage
Finch, was the fourth Earl of
Winchelsea. We mention two
predecessors of this Heneage Finch.

Woodcuts used for ballad-broadsides, Introd. XIV; their reproduction here, L; often inappropriate to the individual ballads, 335; many earlier employed to illustrate books, as noted in Introduction and pp. 720, 722, 752, 949, 973, 976, 1016. Of the very large number of them specially re-engraved to illustrate these pages, nearly all have been cut by Mr. W. H. Hooper (except a few by the Editor, including the initial letters at beginning of Introduction and Appendix, 1, 917; the May-pole and pillory cuts of Appendix, the Musidora group at beginning of 2nd vol., 132, 136, 141, and the numerous balladsingers of the Introduction, etc.). Briefly may be mentioned as interesting, among others, the portrait of Charles II., at head of the Introduction, in fac-simile of a broadsheet cut, originally a bookillustration; Charles I. and his Queen on p. 594, and James II. with his, on p. 593. The editor has had the orginal ornaments reproduced, as on pp. 133, 157, 249, 251, 258, 274, 351, 435, 444, 467 (which, although blotted as in the fragmentary original, is of graceful scroll-work character), etc., because they lend value to the reprints and are in harmony with what he has desired above all things to secure, viz. perfect accuracy of reprint. The soldiers, in marching order, shown on pp. 326 and 327, or 313 (evidently originally combined, and part of a still longer series); the Protestant Commander, near a semiTurkish town such as Buda, on p. 338 or 966, issued in 1686, and afterwards mutilated, as on p. 283, and re-issued about 1690, or the confused group, on p. 365, are as interesting records of military costume as are the shipwrecks and sea-fights on pp. 250, 275, 284, 289, 297, of naval architecture. In the latter we see (although the entire cut is sorely reduced to fit our pages, like the Audenarde battle on pp. 386, 393) how the combined fleet of p. 297 left, becomes cut into a corner-piece duello of p. 283.

BAGFORD.

Although it resembles an illustration of Roxb. Coll., i. 282, our woodcut of William the Third's funeral, on P. 319, is quite distinct. As to the Crusade-like cut on p. 350, see pp. 341, 964, and Index sub voce Turks. The chief part of the pieced-together woodcut on p. 670 has originally been of German design, and probably used to represent characters or types of the various creeds of religious faith. Thus we see the Christian bishop, in front of the Jewish high-priest, the Parsee, the Soldan, the semi-barbaric Emperor, with various class-representatives of inferior rank, individualized that they almost appear to be portraits. Beside this, but of much inferior and later workmanship, had been placed the two small "Dr. Do-Good" figures, originally representing Luther, with a sedate Melancthonish supporter. Thus combined (with the Pope and the Turk on one side, not for the only time in history) the picture symbolizes Protestantism and its foes! And they are again represented with Apocalyptic attributes, on pp. 659, 989; and in Hell'smouth on p. 661.

As to the importance belonging to such a contemporary representation of an execution for high-treason, with hurdle and the veritable Jack Ketch of hateful infamy, as we give on p. 699, there cannot be two opinions. The Coronation of William and Mary, the representation of the Pillorying and Cart'stail whipping of (originally) Oates or Dangerfield, are also important, pp. 613,706, 707. There is grim humour in the Barber shaving an Owl (764, cf. 767), in numerous pictures of feminine spottedness and bedizenment, top-knots, commodes, and inflated dresses, 68, 289, 499, 509, 568, 606, 908, 934; with here or there a really graceful fashion and pleasing figure (e.g. 454, 516, 554, 563, 602, 940, 956, 981, 982, and 2nd Division, xxxii). To those who choose to search for them, others, like the early printing-press, p. 715, the morris-dancers and musicians of

4 c

our Introduction, and the Harman Caueat cuts, 943, etc., are interesting. As portraits, old woodcuts are seldom trustworthy, but he of the "tall stature, like the Son of Kish," our swarthy Charles the Second, who backed himself to "saunter" against any man, is characteristically shown on p. 692, and in the small variation, 535 The attitude was his own, no doubt. Probably the Duke of Monmouth is represented, from another broadside, 788. A remarkable ecclesiastical type appears, after slumbering for two centuries, to haunt the dreams of prosy Penzance, 657. Another ghost, a female in her shroud, holds a consecrated wax candle, 786; suggesting that Romanistic superstition and Low-church credulity in regard to spectral impostures and "rappings" are not irreconcileable: the "Maid of Hatfield" being a shameless Protestant fraud. Judicial astrology is satirized, 793; and the Heralds' College may claim one "very gentle beast" (mild as Snug), 813. Nobody can assert they make neither head nor tail of the Dragon, in Prefatory Notice to 2nd Division, p. ix, a relic of Sir Eglamore's combat. Ob. structive M.P.s are reproduced, 752. Other book-frontispieces are XXXI, 250, and 722 (from Pasquil's Palinodia). The Welsh swashbuckler, in time of James the First, is alive again, 855. He casts his Line of Beauty (not Hogarth's), 857. The fair Welsh-woman is genuine, not a modern Millaisian or Milesian, 860. Her walking attire better suits our climate than the feminine toilette of 887 or 908, which too much resemble that of Tom a Bedlam, 874; not to mention 136, or the "handful of rags," 876.

Two illustrations were originally intended for St. John at Patmos, 811, 916. Unmutilated impressions of the latter (in Andrew Boorde's Dyetary of Helth, 1542, etc.), show the Eagle as ink-bottle-holder. It was a favourite ornament with the printers, Robert Wyer and Thomas Colwell.

To ultra-Protestants, who sigh over

our benighted avoidance of many opportunities for railing against "the Paip, that Pagan, full of pride," there may be satisfaction in beholding His Holiness delineated, after their own heart, as the Man of Sin, 989; also in seeing The Scarlet Woman herself identified, 659; and even the Whalleian view of Hell's Mouth, 661, with its jubilant goblin-imps giving a welcome house-warming to a Pope and a Cardinal. The Puritan S.S.V. alone remains unpropitiated, who would pruriently detect a Phallic orgie in the Map-pole dance, 1010. We give a total of more than three hundred and forty distinct woodcuts (not counting duplicate impressions) in the present Bagford Ballads. Wooden-Ruff, Mrs. Cellier's, a nick
