An Ivory Multiplication Table; tis about 2 Inches long, and 1 ½ broad, yet can serve for any Sum, from a Farthing to Ten thousand Pounds. It is supposed to have belonged to the Priory of Beauchief in Derbyshire; whence it was brought me by Will. Neville Esq. The Form of the Figures are no just Objection against its Antiquity; for I have a Book printed An. 1493, with those of the like Form in the Golden Number. An Astronomical Instrument of Copper, with various Indexes and Circles, with obsolete Characters, from amongst Mr. Kirk's Curiosities. Two Circular Tables of Numbers, Sines, Tangents, nicely fixed upon seasoned Wood, from the same Musæum. Another of Brass, somewhat resembling a Roman Galley; it seems designed by its moveable Gnomon, for Dialing, but the Figures are antique Non-latin character for 4, S for 5, Λ for 7.

Part of the Venerable and Royal Bed, mentioned Page 229 of this Book, inscribed, Avant Darnle, Jamais Darriere, Avant Darnle. Don. D. Cyr. Arthington Arm. A Reel with Silk and Silver Twist wound upon it, after it was enclosed in a small Bottle; the Cork is also fastened on the In-side with three Wood Pins, by the Ingenuity of the Rev. Mr. Miles Gale, Rector of Kighley, who also sent me a Hexapode of six different Pieces fastened without Glew or Nails, yet not now to be severed: As also the best Turned-work Tobacco Stopper, all of his own Workmanship. A Body of thirty Rhombs composed by the late ingenious Virtuoso Tho. Kirk Esq; F. R. S. Other larger Mathematical Bodies. A Perpetual Almanack invented, drawn, painted upon Glass, and gilded by the same Hand. As also Astronomical Tables and Constellations upon moveable Spheres, drawn by my said dear Friend's own Hand.

Other Collections of Prints, Histories, Maps, &c. shall for Brevity's Sake be wholly waved, (except some Prospects betwixt Rome and Naples, both delineated and etched by the learned and ingenious John Evelyn Esq; who presented them to me with his Picture engraved by the noted Nanteil, and are not to be met with, save in private Hands.) But Designs drawn by the Pens of ingenious Gentlemen ought to be particularly valued. Of these I have some Originals of the noted Hollars; others by the late ingenious Tho. Kirke Esq; and a Map of Skireake by his Clark, Mr. John Marsh. Several Prospects from the Via Appia, &c. taken by Mr. Will Lodge of Leedes, in his Journey to Rome, and presented to me by the late worthy Hen. Watkinson L L D, and Chancellor to four Archbishops of Yorke, who was also a Native of this Town: Other Prospects by the said ingenious young Gentleman, particularly Yorke, Leedes, Durham, Newcastle, Berwick, Carlisle, Edinburgh, Glascow, &c. The Tables of Entrochi and Astroites, the Multangular Tower and Roman Wall inserted in the Phil. Trans. The best Draught of the Monument at London, was both delineated and etched by him: He drew also the noted Bridge in Languedoc three Stories high of Arch-work, which is rare to be had, though printed. Mr. Hen. Gyles's Historical Draught for Windows. Tinmouth Castle and Light-House, by that excellent Artist Mr. Fran. Place of Yorke, who has performed that Cathedral most accurately; as also both the Churches and Prospect of Leedes. Some Math ematical Bodies by the curious Pen of the incomparable Mr. Sharp, as he is stiled by the Publisher of some of his accurate Performances (b)(b) (a) Math. Tables contrived after a most comprehensive Way, p. 55., which "are sufficient to exhibit the Circumference of the Globe of the Earth, so truly as not to err the Breadth of a Grain of Sand in the whole." These Artists are only mentioned last, because still surviving. A Draught also of Moses and Aaron, and the Giving of the Law, as painted with exquisite Art in the Parish Church of Leedes, by Mons. J. Permentier.

163. Johannes Godartius of Insects, done into English, and methodized, with Addition of Notes, by Martin Lister M. D. 1672. This is the Original M. S. and was the Present of Tho. Kirk Esq; who translated part of it: The Figures were etched upon Copper by Mr. Place, and the Book printed at Yorke, 1682; though only 150 Copies for the Curious.
