LUPTON, Thomas (fl.1583). A Thousand Notable Things of Sundry Sorts: wherof some are Wonderful, some Strange, some Pleasant, divers Necessary, a Great Sort Profitable, and many very Precious. London: for John Wright, 1650. 8°. (Light worming throughout, mostly marginal but affecting text slightly in quire M and very slightly in last few leaves of index, small repair in margin of L1 and at centre of L2 with minimal damage to the latter leaf, a few light waterstains.) Modern old-style calf. Provenance: Anonymous inscription on an endpaper, dated 1656, concerning a great storm in Norfolk and nearby towns -- Robert Harper (near contemporary signature below a riddling poem in 6 lines about his initials and name; also a riddle in his hand) -- James Cubitt (18th-century signature). A late, but rare, edition of this book of secrets first printed in 1579 and by which the author is chiefly known. Largely drawn from Mizauld, it contains a variety of nostrums and receipts some of which, for example his cure for toothache, verge on the grotesque. Wing L3497 (locating 5 copies, only the Rylands copy in the British Isles).With John Parkinson's Paradisi in sole paradisus terrestris (London, 1904). (2)
