The Autobiography of Thomas Whythorne (modern spelling edition). Edited by JAMES M. OSBORN. Oxford University Press, i962. Pp. XVi + 24I. $7.00.

The old-spelling edition of this important autobiography was reviewed in SQ, XIII, 339. Now the editor has produced a text in modern spelling for the enjoyment of all who will read. The documentary appendices have not been reprinted. The author glosses (doubtfully) line 4 of the poem about a Priest of Jersey (pp. io9-ii2), "It was a vengeance friar" as ". . . vindictive friar"; perhaps it would come closer to the author's intent to say, "There was a friar for you!" or "A friar if ever there was one" (the second paraphrase is sug- gested by Professor David Hoeniger).
