Edwards flore Edmond Boner. Sto to Winton. W. (ant London Jo. Tillotson. Thomas Cantway + Curs Abors AUTOGRAPHS. In presenting to our readers a series of the Autographs of distinguished characters-chiefly of those who promoted the Reformation, or flourished during one of the most remarkable periods of our history-we do not mean to discuss the question which has so often occupied the attention, not only of the speculative and the curious, but of the physiologist and the philosopher. Whether or not we may be justified in forming an opinion of the character, from the style of the hand-writing of an individual, it is not our object to inquire. But as the autographs of eminent men have always excited a considerable degree of interest, we have no doubt that those we have collected, will prove highly gratifying to many, and satisfactory to all. They have been obtained from the most authentic sources in the kingdom. In general we have briefly noticed the document to which each was attached, and the period at which the signature was written. EDWARD FFOXE.-Edward Foxe, afterwards Bishop of Hereford; from a paper dated 5th April, 1530. He was one of the principal promoters of the Reformation, and died in 1538. |
