, No date is assigned to this last edition, but it
comes in the list between Bibles dated 1718 and
1719 respectively.
7. The Rev. J. Hewlett, B.D., in his * Commen- taries and Annotations on the Holy Scriptures,' London, 1816, five volumes, 8vo (in possession of PS.), in the 'Prolegomena,' 24, gives a catalogue of various editions of the Bible from 1526 to 1812, which he says is taken from the ; Prolegomena' to Bishop Wilson's Bible* (query Oxford, 1718, 4to), and said to be " from a manuscript, No. 1140,f in the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth, much enlarged and improved." in this catalogue, the items of which are in chronological order, we find :
"Bible with parallel texts by A. Scattergood, Cambridge, J. Hayes, 1678. 4to " (no reference to place where the volume is to be found).

A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ACCOUNT OF THE
WORKS OF CHARLES DIBDIN. (See 9 th S. viii. 39, 77, 197, 279 ; ix. 421 ;
x. 122, 243; xi. 2, 243, 443 ; xii. 183.) 1800. The Cakehouse, a Table Entertainment, written and composed by Charles Dibdin, first per- formed llth October, 1800.
- If the Bishop Wilson's Bible from the ' Prole-
gomena' to which the catalogue is taken be that which is thus mentioned in the catalogue itself "Bible with Dr. Scattergood's parallel texts and Bp. Wilson's notes in MS., Oxford, 4to, Bodleian Library " it is obvious enough that the catalogue as given in Hewlett must have been enlarged by another hand after Wilson's time, since it comes down to 1812. It is not clear, however, whether the copy above named is a copy of Scattergood's 1678 edition with manuscript notes inserted. Against this view is the intimation that it was published at Oxford ; in favour of it is the fact that no date of publication is given, the only indication of date being its insertion in the chrono- logical list between volumes printed respectively in 1718 and 1719. Bishop Wilson's notes are also contained in an edition of the Bible published by Crutwell, Bath, 1785 ; but whether any other, or any separate work, appeared as Bishop Wilson's Bible seems to be uncertain. It may be well to insert here all the entries in Hewlett's catalogue which are relevant to the subject :
"B. with additional parallel texts. Cambridge, J. Hayes, 1677. 4to." P. 95.
" B. with parallel texts by A. Scattergood. Cam- bridge, J. Hayes, 1678. 4to."-P. 95.
"B. with Dr. Scattergood's parallel texts and Bp. Wilson's notes in MS. Oxford, 4to. Bodleian Lib.' -P. 96.
" B. with notes of Bp. Wilson and various render- ings, collected by C. Crutwell. Bath, for a public charity. 3 vols., 1785. 4 to." P. 97.
f The MS. No. 1140 does not contain the entry of the 1678 Bible ; but a printed copy 9f it, also in the Lambeth Library, does contain it. This is clear from letters written to the present compiler in 1895 by the librarian, Mr. S. A. Kershaw. Some account of the printing of the Lambeth lists and the share in their compilation due to Ames, Gifford, Ducarel, and Tutet respectively, will be found in the preface to Cotton, pp. 10-12.
The songs were published in folio, price Is.,
and otherwise as described in * A Tour to the
Land's End ' (ante, p. 183). Headings of songs
are similar to No. 2, unless noted.
