Mr Tirrells 2d vol. nor Chancy's book are neither of them yet out. Mr Tirrell is lately gon to Oxford but wilbe
here a week hence. I have paid Mr Goslyn at the Post Office & taken a receipt for the French Gazets & ordered
him to desist from sending any more. I could not meet with the Italian dictionary at our English booksellers, buth they
told me I shoud meet with it at the French booksellers & that the price was 12s where I intend to make inquiry next week & think
to send the box Saturday next.
22-Jan-97
**** I received yrs last night i wch yu gave direccion for more bookes & therefore have put off ye sending of yr box to this day sevenight otherwise I intended to send it this day [...] The dictionary shalbe sent to Mr Coffin according to direccons but could not get it under 13s.As for Cradocks Practice & knowledge wee cannot yet meet wth it, wth the supplement it is a very scarce book per =fected & exclusively dear but Mr Harley a bookseller lately bought ye copye for another edition but wn it wilbe printed wee know not however I will make it my business to get it because yu desire it but I would send it perfect. I heard Mr Cradock preach wthin this 12 month hee is antient being elder brother to ye provost of Eaton who dyed about two yeares since. *****
29.Jan:-97
**** I have this day sent by ye Exeter carrier ye seeds & such books yu wrote for yt were extant. I ave also sent to Mr Coffin at Oxford ye Italian dictionary & so soon as wee can meet wth Cradocks Knowledge & practice (at any tolerable rate) it shalbe handsomly bound & gilt & sent likewise. [...] ****
5 Febr.97[/8]
I hope by the tyme these com to yorr hands you wil receive yr box sent this day sevenight & I hope ye Comm. take yr answer [M/S?]
Risdon is also received, the reason I sent not the copy of the bill at large in the Box was because you had the close transcript & if there
should be an occasion to use it here, wee should have been of the expence of another copy & therefore I sent it not. You here [?]
have Mr Peyton the Chancery clerk's bill [...]
I am iust now going to Mr Brown for his bill which shal likewise be enclosed.
[...] I have iust now
ount & hee deducts out of the 40s for the Acts hee saith - 1: 13: 8 & doth protest wither hee [?]
men when the Acts were taken out of the box have hvae so mislayed them (if his house being so cumbered with books) that they
cannot tell where to find them, so if hee shall look the benefit of the term to sell them or els would have [all?]
lowed you more. The following bills I received in this last letter

I hope you have received your box sent this day fortnight & your account this dat sevenight the reason
some books sent for were absent[?] was because they were not yet printed. [More on the bill in Chancery]
The Commons have voted an address to the King to issue out his proclamacion
to suppress immorality & irreligion & so putt a stopp to prophane & blasphe=
mous books.
15-Febr-97[/8]
I received yours last night & wonder the box is not yet com to your hands but you have been several tymes served so
formerly. I have been with Mr Brown & wee have conferred notes. I took out your letters & his receipt & hee pro=[unclear]
duced his debt book & upon the whole, hee finds the mistake to bee thus (viz) that in his receipt if the 12tt 9ber hee
deducts for Acts of Parliament which were to bee returned - 0.16.4 & then in his last bill (another parcell
of Acts being returned) hee not taking notice that hee had deducted your 16s 4d, hee allows for all the Acts 1.13.0
to it if you add to his amount 16s & 4d his bill is rectified as it ought to bee, & heartily thanks you for
this candor towards him & with all faith that if you return Dr Barrows book hee will gratify you in
your request. Neith Mr Tirrell nor Chancy's book wilbe out till the next winter, as for the other books
such as com out you shall have sent in your next parcell. [More on the law case] Tirrel ... Chancey's book &c &c [rest of letter to check]

I have reeived both of yrs in the first a bill of exchange for which I return you thanks & is since paid by Mr [?]
Gouge: the 2d menciond the return of Dr Barrows book which I will take care to take from the carryer & [?]
Mr Brown & shall mind wt you intimate also about sending other books. [...] the Lords have also sent down a bill to the Commons
to suppress immorality blasphemy & open profaness in pursuance of the Kings proclamacion.
12 March 97[/8]
I shall take care if Dr Barrows book be not sent from the carriers to fetch it & carry it to Mr Brown [...]

[8 lines of non-book information]
Since the above was written I am informed Dr Barrows book is at the carryers, which I will take care shalbe fetcht from there.
26 March - 98
I received yrs last night & shall further the endeavour to gratifie both yourselfe & Mr Coffin in the procuring the books you write
for. I have also spoken to Mr Weston who will get the broad flat strawbery for you which shal also be sent: Mr Brown is con-
tented to take Dr Barrows book in exchange which the carrier brought last week. [...]
[...] I am pleased to hear that Mr
Coffin hath gotten so good company at Oxford as Sr Ni, Morris. I hope they will improve each other.
2. April - 98
I have this day sent by the Exeter carryer a box in which are the books you writt for all (I mean that are extant
for they have a way of giving advertisments of books before they are out) I have also tho wthout Commission
sent you a book which if you have not I suppose wilbe very gratefull to you & will serve to entertayn your freinds & [?]
for its highly prized & bought up by most gentlemen in town (viz) Maior Gen. Ludlow's Memoires of the late
times in 2 voll bd. I have taken them from Mr Brown on these terms, that if you have them already hee is to take
yem again at the same price when returned. The MS. was in the hands of my friend Mr Bethel (author of the Interest of Princes [?]
who was Coll Ludlow & his Lady's friend, to whom the care of printing it was committed & hee told me of it but dyed
before it was don. I have also sent from Mr Weston the strawberie roots the wrote for in a white basket with much
earth the better to preserve yem. I have Regis's 3 books in French of Philos. Machiavell in Italian. I have en-
quired for it but cannot yet get it but hope to get it on Monday & then intend soon after (together with the book of
Mr Cradocks which I now also have by mee from Mr Brown) to send them to Mr Coffin to Oxford.

I hope this will come to your hands nere the tyme you will receive the box sent this day sevenight. Ye
books that are to be sent to Mr Coffin are dear & indeed these french booksellers sell at excessive rates &
Mr Brown deales with them much for they buy many books of him, & therefore I make no douby
but that hee buys them as cheap as any of them but the 3 voll. of Regius I must confess are very large & curi=
ously bound & gilt, but yet mee thinks the price is great. Wee had much adoe to get the Italian Ma=
chiavel for I was at many places myselfe & could not meet with him in 4to but at last Mr Brown
got it & not till last night or this morning, so the box shalbe sent wthout fail to Mr Coffin the next
week. [...]
17 Apr.98
I have this week sent the books to Mr Coffin at Wadham College & I hope you have received your
account sent this day sevenight. you had all the books sent that were extant but or booksellers I am
informed have a way of publishing yeir books before they are perfected for sale. [...]
23 Apr.98
I received yrs last night with the bill of exchange for which I thank you & have since received the money from Mr Gouge &
have since been with Mr Brown & imparted wt you intimated as to the allowance for Dr Barrows book & hee willingly
complies with what you say & return to you his humble services & thanks. I had forgot to talk with him about the comming
out of the books 3d mencion in your letter but shall give you an account in my next. [...]
ulto Apr.98
[...]None of the books you
wish'd mee to inquire about are yet out as I am informed: Mr Tirrels at Oxford but told mee before he went, that hee hoped
his 2d vol. would bee out by Mich. term, but Chancey's wilbe out is uncertaine for I am apt to think the subscribers
com in but slow. I have a survey by mee of Hertfordshire by Mr Norden don in Qn. Elizabeth's time in a
smale print with a mapp its no bigger than a stitched sermon a most accurate [picer's ?] I am informed
hee designed to doe every countie in England, but did onely that & Middlesex which two I have by mee & very -
much esteem them because wel done & very hard to be gotten, if they are to be [available ?] at all.

There is one Mr Collyer a non juring minister who was one of them [?]

written an elegant tract against the immorality of blasphemies & prefaness of our stages for players, wch [?]
jury of Middlesex took so much notice of as that this last sessions they have presented several of th[ir Poch ?]
makers of certayn lewd-players & also the bookseller that printed and exposed them to sale; this book is very
much commended by all sorts of sober people, for the making whereof it is supposed that Mr Collyer will have
som friends at court to intercede for his pardon. [...]

I hope by the time these com to your hands you will receive your box sent last Saturday. I have

were it for my life I cannot find it. if you remember the [forms of?] books you may be pleased
to fill up the blanck in your acct. Otherwise it must bee don som other tyme. but as I take
it the whole of yours came to about 32 or 33s & as I take it they were in all 9 voll. If you think
they are too dear in the prices set down you may make som abatemt as for Nordens
2 little books if I cannot meet with them agst your next box, if you please to command mine
you shall have yem. They are amongst a smale colleccion of odd things which are
catalogued. All new books are very dear: I had Dr Nichols book of Mr Bennet
my selfe & had much adoe to get it at the price in the account there is a 4th part comming
out & then you may have the 3d & 4th part bount up in another volume. In my last
bill I sate down for the box to your son before it was sent & as I remember it was 6d
less then what was set down in your bill & I had 1s returned for Mr Brownes bill soe
that 1s - 6d must be deducted out of the summe of this acct. [...]
I remember about 3 or 4 years since there was a man executed at
Heavy-tree for much such a kind of fact. [of a man murdering his family].
9 - July -98
I cannot find the catalogue you returned, so that if you cannot guess at the summs there must be new
prices sett.
16 July -98
I received your letter & bill of exchange & have received the money for which I return thanks
& which is omitted in the last box shalbe rectified in the next. I should have been heartily glad to have
Mr Coffin here & hope may one tyme or another have an opportunity Mr Gouge is gon into Devon
=shire [...] As for Mr Mordens undertaking you shall not fail to hear
an acct of it in my next. [...]

I went this day to Mr Mordens hous by the Old Exchange in Cornhill for informacion
of his designed peece & to have gotten a specimen of it any [bre?] but hee being

booksellers have a way to publish bookes before they are printed: I have sent you my 2 bookes of Mr Nordens in which you have Ho[unclear]
in a nutshell. I hunted up & down in all places where I thought they were to be had but could not meet with either of them at last
I was told that Mr Morden (the geographer by the Royal Exchange) had them to whom I applyed, hee had them but they
were both put under an old filthy parchment cover & the bookes spotted & steyned abominably & [index?] wanted
the map of Westm. & Hartfordsh. the general map of the county & would not part with it under 4s. so that I have sent
my own, the reason why I willing to have bought them was becaus I have a smale collecion of such scarce things
& a catalogue of them. The sessions papers that went from the 9th May you shalbe sun to have them, tho not now sent. In
my next I will send yr accnt. [?] Dr Nicol's other vol of his conference is not yet out. Mr Bennet tells mee it wilbe out wthin a month.
