    .
    <<Andrew {CROOK}e (died 20 September 1674) and William Cooke (died 1641?) were London publishers of the mid-17th-century. In partnership and individually, they issued significant texts of English Renaissance drama, most notably of the plays of James
    Shirley. Andrew {CROOK}e was the son of a William {CROOK}e, a yeoman of Kingston Blount, Oxfordshire. On 26 March 1629, Andrew {CROOK}e won his "freedom" of the Stationers Company — that is to say, he gained full membership in the guild of London
    booksellers, publishers, and printers — and in time "became one of the leading publishers of his day." Perhaps his most notable solo achievements were the 1640 publication of the second edition of Ben Jonson's 1616 folio, and his editions of the
    Religio Medici of Sir [T]homas [BROWNE]. (Of the latter, {CROOK}e published two unauthorized editions in 1642, and the authorized and corrected edition of 1643, plus subsequent editions in 1645, 1648, 1656, 1659, 1669, and 1672). His currently best-known
    publication is Thomas Hobbes' scientific & political tract Leviathan.>> -------------------------------------------------------

    <<Sir Thomas Browne (19 October 1605 – 19 October 1682) was an English polymath and author of varied works which reveal his wide learning in diverse fields including science and medicine, religion and the esoteric. Although often described as suffused
    with melancholia, Browne's writings are also characterised by wit and subtle humour, while his literary style is varied, according to genre, resulting in a rich, unique prose which ranges from rough notebook observations to polished Baroque eloquence. In
    1646 Browne published his encyclopaedia, Pseudodoxia Epidemica, or, Enquiries into Very many Received Tenents, and commonly Presumed Truths, the title of which refers to the prevalence of false beliefs and "vulgar errors". A sceptical work that debunks a
    number of legends circulating at the time in a methodical and witty manner, it displays the Baconian side of Browne—the side that was unafraid of what at the time was still called "the new learning". The book is significant in the history of science
    because it promoted an awareness of up-to-date scientific journalism. ........................................................

    . Essays or Counsels I. Of [TRUTH]. (by Bacon)

    WHAT is [TRUTH]? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for
    an answe[R]. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness,
    and co[U]nt it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will
    in [T]hinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of
    p[H]ilosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain
    discoursing wits which are of the same veins, though there be not so
    much blood in them as was in those of the ancient(S). But it is not
    only the difficulty and labour which men take in finding out (O)f truth;
    nor again that when it is found it imposeth upon men's thoughts; tha(T)
    doth bring lie{S} in favour; but a natural though corrupt love of t{H}e
    lie its(E)lf. One of the later school of the Greci{A}ns examineth the
    matter, and is at a (S)tand to thin{K} what should be in it, that men
    should love lies, wh{E}re neither (T)hey make for pleasure, as with
    poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie's sake.
    But I cannot tell: this same truth is a naked and open day-light, that
    doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, half
    so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the
    price of a pearl, that sheweth best by day; but it will not rise to the
    price of a diamond or carbuncle, that sheweth best in varied lights.
    A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. ......................................................

    When Sir Philip Sidney died of a wound received at the battle
    of Zutphen (1586) his body was brought home to England for an
    elaborate public funeral. The next year Thomas Lant published
    a series of engravings of the funeral procession.
