NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. ix. JAN. 31, i9n.
iitle of ' La Giulietta.' Two previous edi-
tions are known : one undated, which all
Italian bibliographers assign to the year
1530, and therefore the first. The second
edition is dated 1535 a copy of which is
in the Grenville Library of the British
Museum. Mr. P. Daniel, that most careful
of writers, in mentioning .the 1539 edition
remarks about the prose works contained
in this volume. As the author is known
to have written one prose work only
which is that published in this book the
statement is not quite correct. Most \vriters
<on Shakespearian bibliography mention the
1535 edition as the first even so late a
scholar as Sir Sidney Lee falls into this error
in his ' Life of Shakespeare,' 1899. I may
- state my new- acquisition was formerly in the
Heber Collection. No copy is to be found in any library in this country.

A BISHOP'S HOUSEHOLD. The following
extract from a Lay Subsidy seems to be of
sufficient general interest to find a corner in
' N. & Q.,' for it is not often that w r e get such
a detailed list of the men forming the house-
hold of a bishop, with the wages of each.
The list is perfect, except for four Christian
names, and part of another at the end, and
ijives the names of forty men in the personal
service of the Bishop of Salisbury in 14 & 15

FEE -F ABM RENTS. Some years since certain North-Country fee-farm rents fell into the hands of the writer of this note. They had been long collected for his for- bears by a firm of ancient standing, whose unpretentious office, situate in a quiet corner of Gray's Inn, was marked by a brass plate bearing, if he remembers rightly, the words " Collectors of Fee-farm Rents " an honourable calling, not devoid of antique flavour, to which, however, the budding
