 PREFACE 
 
 The present volume contains two curious documents 
 concerning Dr. Dee, the eminent philosopher of Mortlake, 
 now for the first time published from the original manu- 
 scripts. I. His Private Diary, written in a very small 
 illegible hand on the margins of old Almanacs, discovered 
 a few years ago by Mr. W. H. Black, in the library of the 
 Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. II. A Catalogue of his 
 Library of Manuscripts, made by himself before his house 
 was plundered by the populace, and now preserved in the 
 library of Trinity College, Cambridge. 
 
 The publication of this Diary will tend perhaps to set 
 Dee's character in its true hght, more than any thing 
 that has yet been printed. We have, indeed, his " Com- 
 pendious Rehearsall," which is in some respects more 
 comprehensive, but this was written for an especial pur- 
 pose, for the perusal of royal commissioners, and he has 
 of course carefully avoided every allusion which could be 
 construed in an unfavourable light. In the other, how- 
 ever, he tells us his dreams, talks of mysterious noises in
 
 VIU PREFACE. 
 
 his chamber, evil spirits, and alludes to various secrets of 
 occult philosophy in the spirit of a true believer. Mr. 
 D'Israeli has given a correct and able view of his cha- 
 racter in his '^ Amenities of Literature/' which is re- 
 markably confirmed in almost every point by the narrative 
 now published. " The imagination of Dee/' observes 
 that elegant writer, ^' often predominated over his science ; 
 while both were mingling in his intellectual habits, each 
 seemed to him to confirm the other. Prone to the 
 mystical lore of what was termed the occult sciences, 
 which in reality are no sciences at all, since whatever 
 remains occult ceases to be science. Dee lost his better 
 genius." I shall refer the reader to this popular work 
 instead of attempting an original paper on the subject, 
 which would necessarily be greatly inferior to that drawn 
 by the masterly hand of the author of the " Curiosities of 
 Literature." 
 
 The Catalogue of Dee's Library of Manuscripts, although 
 long since dispersed, is valuable for the notices which it 
 preserves of several middle-age treatises not now extant. 
 He is said to have expended on this collection the sum 
 of three thousand pounds, a very large sum in those days 
 for a person of limited income.

 nativities. They are not for the most part contemporary notices, but apparently 
 inserted at various times by Dee when professionally consulted as an astrologer.

 Worcester, that she shewed him some of the gold her brother had transmuted, and that

 * This work, although never entirely printed, created much sensation at the time, 
 and was the cause of considerable controversy among the politicians as well as literati. 
 The Memorial on this subject which Dee presented to the Privy Council has been 
 printed by Hearne and others, but it is not generally known that the original manu- 
 script of the actual treatise on the correction of the Calendar is still preserved in Ash- 
 mole's library, No. 1789, and is the very book which Dee alludes to above. It is 
 inscribed " to the Right Honorable and my singular good Lorde, the Lorde Burghley, 
 Lorde Threasorer of Englande," with the following verses : — 
 " To OTL and to hiori, 
 
 I shew the thing and reason why ; 
 
 At large, in breif, in middle wise, 
 
 I hlimbly give a playne advise ; 
 
 For want of tyme, the tyme untrew 
 
 Yf I have myst, commaund anew 
 
 Your honor may. So shall you see 
 
 That love of truth doth govern me." 
 The work itself is entitled, " A playne Discourse and humble Advise for our Gratious 
 Queene Elizabeth, her most Excellent Majestic to peruse and consider, as concerning 
 the needful Reformation of the Vulgar Kalender for the civile yeres and daies accompt- 
 iog, or verifyeng, according to the tyme truely spent."

 * This refers to the earliest English translation of Euclid by Billingsley, which was 
 published in 1570, with a long preface by Dr. Dee. Professor De Morgan is of 
 opinion that the translation also was by Dee, or that Billingsley may have been only a 
 pupil who worked immediately under his directions. The passage to which Dee

 has arisen from the investment of sums received for Compositions ; and 
 the Council recommend that whatever sum may now be in hand on that 
 account, should be added to the investment.

 Secretaries : —

 by the end of the present month. The Council have followed the pre- 
 cedent of former years, in directing that there should be appended to the 
 last-mentioned volume a list of the Members of the Society for the past 
 year ; and, if the General Meeting think proper, this Report and that of 
 the Auditors may also be added. 
 
 The Council have much satisfaction in being able to state that the 
 " Apology for the Lollards,^' a work attributed to WickliiFe, which has 
 been so long delayed by reason of the many engagements of the Editor, 
 the Rev. Jas. Henthorn Todd, D.D. is now on the eve of completion ; and

 Considerable progress has also been made with the " Promptorium,^' 
 a Latin and English Dictionary of words in use during the fifteenth cen- 
 tury, editing by Albert Way, Esq. F.S.A. a work which the Council be- 
 lieve will be one of great merit and utility ; and a portion of it will be one 
 of the publications of the ensuing year.

 ing works have been ordered to be put to press at the convenience of 
 their Editors and the Society, and will be published as soon as they are 
 ready.

 The Council have to direct the attention of the Society to the obliga- 
 tions conferred upon it by J. I. Blackburne^ Esq. M.P. by giving the So- 
 ciety the use of the MS. of the Three Romances^ edited by Mr. Robson. 
 
 Also by the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville^ in placing in Air. Way's 
 hands, upon the application of the Director^ his valuable early printed 
 editions of the '^ Promptorium/^ which Mr. Way wished to use for his 
 edition of that work ; and by the Master and Fellows of Saint Peter^s Col- 
 lege, Cambridge, for the readiness with which^ upon a similar application, 
 they lent the Council, for the use of Mr. Way, a valuable MS., entitled 
 Campus Florum. 
 
 The same exertions, in behalf of the Society, which former Councils 
 have acknowledged, have been continued to be made by the Local Secretaries, 
 and other friends of the Society resident in the country ; and the Council 
 trust that such exertions will not be relaxed. To diffuse a knowledge of
 
 6 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 1842. 
 
 the existence and objects of the Society tends, not merely to promote its 
 welfare, but also to carry out the purpose for which it was established, by 
 directing the attention of the possessors of MSS. to those collections in 
 which there yet exist, unpublished, inestimable papers which this Society 
 would be ready and willing to make available. 
 
 Messrs. Nichols have continued to the Council the same attentions, 
 and have rendered them the same valuable and gratuitous assistance in 
 the general management of the affairs of the Society, which they have 
 given from its Institution. Nothing can be more honourable to Messrs. 
 Nichols, or more advantageous to the Society; and the Council are 
 assured, that it is only necessary for them to state the fact to the Mem- 
 bers, in order to its being duly appreciated. 
 
 The Council have to regret the loss, by death, during the last year, of 
 the Rt. Hon. Thos. P. Courtenay, who, in addition to valuable services as 
 a Member of the Council, was one of the Trustees of the Society, and gave 
 much attention to its affairs. The Council have filled up the vacancy in 
 the Trusteeship by electing to that office Charles Purton Cooper, 
 Esq. LL.D., Q.C, F.R.S., F.S.A. 
 
 The Council have also to regret the death of Henry Bower, Esq. 
 F.S.A. the very zealous and efficient Local Secretary of the Society at Don- 
 caster ; and also of the following other Members : 
 
 Thomas Barnes, Esq. 
 
 George Frederick Beltz, Esq. F.S.A. Lancaster Herald. 
 
 Henry Eyton, Esq. 
 
 The Rev. Thomas Dudley Fosbrokb, F.S.A. 
 
 F. T. Grayling, Esq. 
 
 Lieut.-Col. John Harvey. 
 
 John Holmes, Esq. F.S.A. East Retford. 
 
 Theodore Edward Hook, Esq. F.S.A. 
 
 Henry Mitchison, Esq. 
 
 John Moore, Esq. F.S.A. 
 
 The Right Hon. the Earl of Munster, F.R.S., Pr. As. S.

 Henry Woodthorpe, Esq. F.S.A. 
 The Council report that the Treasurer, having found that other en- 
 gagements prevented his any longer devoting to the accounts and finan- 
 cial correspondence of the Society the time and attention which, after an 
 experience of three years, he found to be absolutely necessary to be given 
 to them, submitted to the Council the propriety of their accepting his 
 resignation, or of making some other arrangement with respect to the 
 accounts. The Council, regarding the subject as one vitally affecting the 
 welfare of the Society, proceeded immediately to take it into their consi- 
 deration, and are happy to be able to report that they have effected 
 an arrangement by which the accounts are now kept, and the financial 
 correspondence is attended to, by the Secretary, the Treasurer still con- 
 tinuing responsible to the Society. This arrangement will put the Society 
 to a small annual expense, which can very well be afforded, and which the 
 Council are persuaded the Members will think well bestowed, if it has the 
 effect of preserving accuracy in the accounts. The recent arrangements in 
 the Post Office render it easy for country Members to transmit their sub- 
 scriptions by Post Office orders, which course the Council recommend to 
 be adopted, making the Post Ofiice orders payable to the Treasurer. 
 
 After the lapse of four years of continuing prosperity the Council hope 
 that the Camden Society may be regarded as having taken a permanent 
 station amongst established publishing associations. Many societies have 
 been founded upon similar principles, and one considerably out-numbers 
 this Society in Members : but there is no one which can produce better 
 evidences of stability and prosperity, or which has greater reason to be 
 satisfied with the estimation in which its works are regarded by the 
 public. Amongst the Candidates for admission recently entered there are 
 many Public Libraries and other bodies, whose desire to participate in
 
 8 REPORT OF THE COUXCIL, 1842. 
 
 the advantages of Membership indicates the reputation of the Society, both 
 in this and other countries ; and the prices maintained by our books when 
 copies get abroad into the market, afford encouraging proof of the demand 
 for them on the part of collectors and literary men. In four years the 
 Society has issued eighteen volumes, all of them works excluded from the 
 ordinary mode of publication, and yet worthy of being published, of 
 eminent use to historical inquirers, and likely to retain a place in the 
 permanent literature of the country. 
 
 The forthcoming works are fully calculated to maintain, if not to increase, 
 the reputation of the Society, and the Council see no reason to doubt but 
 that the Society may long usefully and prosperously retain its station, 
 and the number of its Members.

 10 REPORT OF THE AUDITORS. 
 
 The Treasurer has also reported to us that the Secretary and himself 
 have made arrangements by which they hope, during the ensuing year, 
 almost, if not altogether, to get rid of all arrear of outstanding subscrip- 
 tions. We trust that the Members will assist them in this very desirable 
 object ; and especially that Members resident in the country will transmit 
 their subscriptions at once to the Treasurer by Post Office orders. The 
 adoption of this course has been suggested by several of the Local Secre- 
 taries ; and it is obvious that it will greatly lessen the troublesome and 
 not very agreeable duties, which are thrown upon those officers by the pre- 
 sent practice, will lessen the number of mistakes, and will greatly promote 
 the prosperity of the Society.
