When we consider the distance which once virtually sepa- rated the provinces from London, it will appear likely that many strange pieces by well-known hands, many curious editions, and much evidence respecting local interests, remain to be discovered. As soon as the materials throughout the country shall have become sufficient, the general enquirer, (perhaps another Buckle,) will be able to pick out facts and draw conclusions as to the current of thought, wealth, and enterprise, through the country : from the fluctuations in quality, quantity, and kind of subject matter ; from the epoch and duration of provincial discussions, from the parties to them, and the grounds they adopted ; from comparison of the dates of local printing, from the style of typography, from reprints, and the connections between Town and Country booksellers.

This and the cognate local tracts originated from the general Sacra- mental controversy then debated. Lathbury in his History of the Nonjurors, page 381, speaking of lloger Lawrence, the nonjnring bishop, says, " The name of Lawrence is well known from his learned works on the Invalidity of Lay Baptism: but probably it is not so generally known, that he was a Nonjuror. His parents being Dissenters, Lawrence was baptized in the body to which they belonged. Entertaining doubts respecting the validity of the Act, he was led to an extended examination of the whole subject, which issued in the publication of his valuable and learned work : Lay Baptism Invalid. The book was assailed by Dissenters, because the author had reduced their ministers to mere laymen, which was most distasteful to the body: it was also attacked by some members of the Church of Lug- land. He fully, as I conceive, establishes the position, that Lay Baptism is not recognised by the Anglican Church, whatever may be the decisions of the ecclesiastical courts respecting the right, which Dissenters have to the performance of the Burial Service, in the case of those who are baptized by their own ministers. Two Sermons were preached at Salisbury, by Burnet, in 1710, in which Lawrence's positions were assailed. This circumstance led him to publish, in reply, his work on the Sacerdotal Powers. A few years later there appeared another volume on Dissenters' Baptisms. The Bishop of Oxford also having alluded to the subject in his Charge, Lawrence sent forth a reply to his Lordship. These are, I believe, all the works of this learned writer, respecting whose talents there can be no difference of opinion, whatever may be the case concerning his views. 10 Typography of Nottinghamshire. On the question of Lay Baptism, most churchmen will agree with liiin in sentiment Little is known of Lawrence beyond what is to be gleaned from his works, and the replies which they called forth."

An., 2nd ed., Vol. I. page 411, note; and Index, sub voce 'Baptism.' vYaterland, under ' Lay-Baptism' and ' Lau- rence,' Bp. Fleetwood, Abp. Bramhall, and Charles Lesley, treat of the subject.

Mr. Ayscough was remarkable, says Deering, in his History of Nottingham, for having first established the art of printing in that town about the year 1710. Mr. Ayscough being unfortunate in business, he retired, about 1715, to Bramcote, where he died, and was buried in St. Peter's church, in Nottingham. In the south aisle, upon a tombstone, is the following inscription : Here lye the bodies of William Ayscough, printer and bookseller of this town, and Anne his wife. She was the daughter of the liev.

"Among the students of the same year with Bentley, I find some names of no small celebrity : Samuel Garth . . . . ; John Dennis . . . . ; Richard Johnson, of the same college as Bentley, was also his contemporary ; and I con- jecture him to be the person afterwards master of Nottingham School, and author of Grammatical Commentaries, Nodes Nottinghamicee, and Aristarchus Anti-Bentleiauus. This indentity, which there seems little reason to doubt, may help to account for the personal rancour dis- played against Bentley in the latter production; which is inexplicable but upon the supposition of some previous intercourse. Johnson's spleen might have been the offspring of a feud begun at the University, or of mortification at the neglect of old acquaintance by his more fortunate fellow-collegian." The note appended reads as follows: — ' ; Johnson in his ' Grammatical Commentaries,' styles himself M.A., and Mr. Gilbert Wakefield, wdio gives some account of him in the Memoirs of his own life, says, that ' he could not find out which Univer- sity had the honour of his education.' Rentley's contemporary, Richard Johnson, is the only graduate of the name, either at Oxford or Cambridge, who could be the Nottingham schoolmaster. He pro- ceeded indeed no further than his degree of B.A. But there have been many instances of persons who, having only taken that first degree, afterwards intimated their academical education by assuming the title of M.A. to which they had no claim; probably from a dislike of the juvenile notion connected with the term 'Bachelor of Arts.'" See also Monk, ii. 3, ii. 6., for Johnson's ' burlesque criticism ' from the Aristarchus p. 109. ii. 7; "Johnson did not very long survive his exhibition in the character of Aristarchus: he was over- taken by some mental malady which proved the precursor of his melancholy fate. Little more is known respecting him, but that in the year 1720 he drowned himself in the meadows adjacent to Nottingham." (G. W., I. 28, ed. 1S04- ) In 172L, as shewn below. Monk, i. 5. Bentley's tutor was the Rev. Joseph Johnston ; in the note, — " Bentlev's tutor, when he took his degree of B.A. . in 1664, 3 IS typography of Nottinghamshire. . spelled his name Johnson. The reader of these memoirs will perhaps be struck with the coincidence which associates so many persons of the name of Johnson with Bentley's history." '•' In 1682 Bentley bade adieu to Spalding (where he was succeeded by Mr. Walter Johnson)." In ii. 59, mention is made of 'Dr. James Johnson of Trinity Hall, a warm partizan of Bentley.' Probably the link between Bentley and Richard Johnson may be found at Spalding, with which a numerous and learned family of the latter name was connected. See Nichols's Lit. An., under ' Johnson.' Johnson and the Trustees once went to law, I believe on the question of his ejection for incompetency, and on the trial the opposing counsel said of the schoolmaster that much learning had made him mad; the natural retort was ready, that however mad Mr. Abney might shew himself, no one could be got to think that the infliction in his case had proceeded from study. Johnson proved his competency and won his case by producing in court a certificate of ability to teach, which he had obtained from the trustees under pretence of applying for another appointment. Mr. Nelson of Great Limber, in con- versation with me, lately attached the latter part of the story to Parson Leeke, vicar of Fulstow near Louth, 40 years ago a noted clerical dealer in piebald horses and ponies, who similarly outwitted his parishioners at the Bishop's visitation at Caistor. Poor Johnson was found drowned, and the register of his burial at St. Nicholas's, Nottm., reads, '1721. Ml Richard Johnson Clerk (Author of y e Grainat. Coment) bur'] Oct. 26.'

This 'True Narrative' was preceded in 1737, by 'A Narrative of Mr. Joseph Rawson's Case, &c. . . . with a Prefatory Discourse in Defence of the Common Rights of Christians,' (the Pref. Disc, was by John Taylor, of Norwich), printed in London; also preceded, as appears by the Advertisement at the end of the ' True Narrative,' by 'An Address to Protestant Dissenters: &c. By a Protestant Dissenter (viz. Bourn) London . . . . 1736.' This last was answered by Sloss's Vindication, which came after the ' True Narrative.' Joseph Rawson was excommunicated July 9, 1736. The following extract is from McAll's Historical Notices: — 'In 1733, Mr. James Sloss, M.A., was appointed Mr. Bateson's co-pastor. Mr. Sloss was a minister of the church of Scotland, and (as such) a Presbyterian ; but it was stipulated on his becoming pastor, that he should not attempt any alteration in the mode of church-government. He was very highly respected for his learning and ability. Several published works attested his diligence ; and among them, one of great value on the doctrine of the Trinity. Mr. S. held the pastoral office at Castle Gate for nearly forty years. Very shortly after his resignation, he died suddenly, on or about the first of May, 1772. The newspapers Typography of Nottinghamshire. 25 of that day record his name in terms of high respect, and intimate that his death was a loss to the poor and needy of every persuasion ;' page 84. ' The principal occurrence which marked the joint ministry of Mr. Bateson and Mr. Sloss, was the exclusion of one of the most prominent members of the church for Arianism — a circumstance which occasioned numerous pamphlets, and a protracted controversy, spreading beyond the neighbourhood to parties at a distance. The first notice of this affair in the Church Book reads as follows : — " May 25, 1736. Some time was spent in prayer and humiliation, to ask direction of God how to proceed about Mr. Joseph Rawson, a member with us, who was suspected of having imbibed the Ariau notion, and denying the supreme Deity of Jesus Christ;"' page 85. ' It has also been noticed, that the first enlargement of Castle Gate Meeting, was occasioned by an influx of persons from the previously orthodox Presbyterian Congregation. This occurred in 1738;' page 99. Apropos of the general controversy, reference may be made to The Scholar Armed, Wardlaw's Socinian Controversy, VVaterland by Van Mildert, and Dr. Pye Smith.

But St. Paul knew better; he knew the World and human Nature too well to do that; he knew the People he dealt with, could not bear the assuming Air of Superiority ; lie knew that reasonable Creatures should be reasonably treated, and that gentle Methods would better open their Minds to Conviction, and sooner find the way to their Hearts. And this all Ministers and private Christians, that have to do with such as they think mistaken, will find too, if they can but bear with them, treat them kindly, and use gentle Means and rational Methods tor their Conviction.' At page 34 he says, ' 1 remember with Pleasure, how my Heart has been affected by reading some Papers deliver' d at Conferences in this Town, by that serious ami excellent Christian Mr. Joseph Barret, and others.'

Samuel Creswell was a tory, (as befitted a grandson of Thomas Hawksley, the Jacobite) and contested the question of the Junior Council against the Whig Corporation; he died Frid. Aug. 25, 1786, from a cold caught on an electioneering expedition to Bestwood Hall. After his death Burbage attempted to deprive his widow of her interest in the Journal. S. C. was the father of Edward Creswell, Vicar of Bad ford and Lenton, 1 803-1 S-10, whose son, Samuel Cres- well, is the present Vicar of Badford ; also brother of Mrs. Catherine Upton, authoress of Miscellaneous pieces in Prose and Verse, London, 1784, 4to. She accompanied her husband, Lieut. John Upton, of the 72 nd or Manchester Begiment, to Gibraltar, and was present at the great siege, on which subject she wrote a poem entitled The Siege of Gibraltar. I have in my possession Lord Heathfield's testimonial to Upton. Burbage is represented by general tradition as extremely close, not to say worse, in money matters. His dress was after the old fashion and rather imposing, his manners very polite ; and the story goes that success once attended a bet, that he would pompously and with many words thank a little girl sent to get from him two halfpence in exchange for a penny.
