* This Artist came into England from Paris to assist Dorigny in En. graving the Cartoons; but before they were more than half done, he quitted his employer, and settled here, undertaking with the assistance of one Epiciere and Baron, to engrave the Cartoons, for printsellers. His next engagement was a set of the Duke of Marlborough's Battles, to be performed in two years, for £80 a plate, having no aid but Du Guernier, who had been in England for some years, and who was chiefly employed in etching frontispieces for books and plays, and that help not being sufficient, Dubosc sent to Paris for Beauvais and Baron, who assisted him in completing the work in 1717. He afterwards kept a shop, and sold prints. Picart having published his Religious Ceremonies in 1733, Dubosc undertook to give that work in English, and brought over Gravelot and Scotin to carry it on: it came out weekly, by subscription. Dubosc did a plate from the fine picture of Scipio's Continence by Nicolo Poussin, at Houghton. There is also by him a south-east prospect of the City of Chester, and a print of Shakspeare's monument in Westminster Abbey. His portrait was drawn by Smybert. Some of the plates of the Turkish Habits, &c. published at Paris, 1714, by M. de Ferriol, were engraved by him. As an en

graver he did not possess much merit; his style is coarse and heavy, and the drawing of the naked parts of the figure in his plates is exceedingly defective.

* Thomas Gent, in the year 1762, published in octavo, "The most delectable, scriptural and pious History of the famous and magnificent great Eastern Window (according to beautiful portraitures) in St. Peter's Cathedral, York, &c." This book is divided into three parts, the first treating of the figures in the Tracery, or top part of the window: the second of the three partitions below the Tracery, the figures in which principally have relation to the historical events recorded in the Old Testament: and the third of the Revelations to St. John the Divine, represented in a great number of compartments.

The figures are engraved on wood, in the most wretched manner, and the whole book, in composition, printing, and paper, exactly corresponds with the engravings. There is a copy in the library of the London

A Brief Discourse touching the Office of Lord Chancellor of England, written by the learned JOHN SELDEN, of the Inner Temple, Esq. and dedicated by him to Sir Francis Bacon, Knight, then Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England. Transcribed from a true Copy thereof found amongst the Collections of that judicious Antiquary, St. Lo Kniveton, late of Grayes Inne, Esq. Together with a true Catalogue of Lord Chancellors, and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, from the Norman Conquest, untill this present Year, 1671. By William Dugdale, Esq. Norroy King of Arms. London, printed for William Lee, at the Turk's Head in Fleet Street, over against Fetter Lane End. 1671.

This volume is in folio, and contains the Title, as above.

Dedication, by J. Selden, to Sir Francis Bacon, Knt. 1 leaf. A Brief Discourse, &c. p. 1 to 7.

Catalogue of Lord Chancellors, p. 9 to 26.

This book is divided into four chapters, the first of which treats of the name and office of Lord Chancellor of England under the Saxons, the oldest mention of which in

this kingdom, is in the time of King Edward the elder, about the year 920, in which year, that king made Turketill, Abbot of Croyland, his chancellor. The second chapter is on the question, whether the keeping of a seal were in the chancellorship under the Saxons? In this chapter it is mentioned, contrary to the commonly received opinion of seals being first used by Edward the Confessor; that there is still remaining an old Saxon charter of King Edgar, to the Abbey of Pershore, on which plain signs yet remain of three labels, by the places cut for their being hanged on; which seals are said to have been one of King Edgar, the second of St. Dunstan, and the third of Alfer, Duke of Mercia. The 3d chapter contains an account of "the Chancellorship and Keepership joined, in times near after the Norman Invasion;" and the fourth chapter is on the division and conjunction of Lord Chancellor and Lord Keeper, till an act of Parliament converted them into one.

There is another edition of this book in small octavo, printed at London, in 1677. Both the editions are very scarce, especially this in folio, which sells for 2l. 12s. 6d. or upwards, according to the condition in which it may be found. Messrs. Greenland and Warren, in Finsbury Place, have a very fine copy, from which this analysis has been made.

This tract is printed in the third volume of Selden's Works, (London, 1726, folio), page 1463, &c.; in the Preface to which volume it is said that it was written by Mr. Selden on occasion of the promotion of Sir Francis Bacon to the Office of Lord Chancellor, in the year 1616. The folio edition has a portrait of Selden, engraved by R. White.

In the second volume of the Bodleian Catalogue, under the article Selden, it is said that this book was published by Sir William Dugdale. The list of Chancellors was added by him from his Origines Juridiciales.
