ROWLANDSON.

Theatre of divine Recreation, &c. See
Arber, iii. 303.

The History of Guy Earl of Warwick [1608.]

As this piece was not registered till the 23rd June, 1608, by W. Ferbrand, it is not likely to have been printed till that year. The Hunterian Club, in their reprint, adduced an edition of 1607, printed by Elizabeth Allde, in the British Museum. But that copy is dated 1632, and indeed Elizabeth Allde issued nothing before 1628. Some one has dated the book 1607 in MS. on the title, although 1632 is at the end. A Poeme Intituled the Bride, written by Samuell Rowlands. Licensed to Thomas Pavier, 22 May, 1617.

A Pair of Spy-Knaves. 4°. [1620.]

This tract was licensed to Philip Birch, 6 December, 1619, and assigned by him to Robert Bird, 7 Feb. 1622-3. We cannot tell whether the Collier fragment belongs to Birch's original issue, or a reprint by Bird.
