The present volume contains two curious documents concerning Dr. Dee,
the eminent philosopher of Mortlake, now for the first time published
from the original manuscripts. I. His Private Diary, written in a
very small illegible hand on the margins of old Almanacs, discovered a
few years ago by Mr. W. H. Black, in the library of the Ashmolean
Museum at Oxford. II. A Catalogue of his Library of Manuscripts,
made by himself before his house was plundered by the populace, and now
preserved in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge.
The publication of this Diary will tend perhaps to set Dee’s
character in its true light, more than any thing that has yet been
printed. We have, indeed, his “Compendious Rehearsall,” which is in some
respects more comprehensive, but this was written for an especial
purpose, for the perusal of royal commissioners, and he has of course
carefully avoided every allusion which could be construed in an
unfavourable light. In the other, however, he tells us his dreams, talks
of mysterious noises in
his chamber, evil spirits, and alludes to various secrets of occult
philosophy in the spirit of a true believer. Mr. D’Israeli has given a
correct and able view of his character in his “Amenities of Literature,”
which is remarkably confirmed in almost every point by the narrative now
published. “The imagination of Dee,” observes that elegant writer,
“often predominated over his science; while both were mingling in his
intellectual habits, each seemed to him to confirm the other. Prone to
the mystical lore of what was termed the occult sciences, which in
reality are no sciences at all, since whatever remains occult ceases to
be science, Dee lost his better genius.” I shall refer the reader to
this popular work instead of attempting an original paper on the
subject, which would necessarily be greatly inferior to that drawn by
the masterly hand of the author of the “Curiosities of Literature.”
The Catalogue of Dee’s Library of Manuscripts, although long since
dispersed, is valuable for the notices which it preserves of several
middle-age treatises not now extant. He is said to have expended on this
collection the sum of three thousand pounds, a very large sum in those
days for a person of limited income.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS, 1842.
At a Meeting of the Council of the
Camden Society held at No. 25, Parliament Street, Westminster, on
Thursday the 5th May, 1842,
Thomas Amyot, Esq. in the
Chair;
The Council having proceeded to the Election of Officers,—
Thomas Amyot, Esq. was elected
Director; John Bruce, Esq. Treasurer;
and William J. Thoms, Esq. Secretary,
for the Year next ensuing.
3
DATED 1st MAY, 1842.
The Council elected on the 3rd May 1841 are pleased to be able to
report that the affairs of the Society continue in a condition of
unabated prosperity.
The number of 1200 Members, to which the Society is limited, has been
maintained; and there continues to be a large number of Candidates for
admission upon vacancies.
The investment standing in the names of the Trustees for the Society
has been increased, since the last General Meeting, from the sum of £408
0s. 4d., Three per Cent. consols, to £574 13s.
8d. This increase has arisen from the investment of sums received
for Compositions; and the Council recommend that whatever sum may now be
in hand on that account, should be added to the investment.
The Council have added the following gentlemen to the list of Local
Secretaries:—
The Rev. Joseph Bosworth, LL.D. for Nottingham.
Richard Rees, Esq. F.S.A. for Cardiff, in
the place of Captain W. H. Smyth, retired.
James Heywood Markland, Esq. F.R.S. F.S.A.
for Bath, in the place of Rev. William L. Nichols, who has removed.
The Publications for the past year have been—
The Second Book of the Travels of Nicander Nucius, a Corcyræan Gentleman
who came to England in the suite of an Ambassador from the Netherlands,
sent by the Emperor Charles V. to the Court of Henry VIII.: translated
from the Original Greek MS. formerly belonging to Archbishop Laud, and
now preserved in the Bodleian Library. Edited by the Rev. John Antony Cramer, D.D. Principal of New Inn Hall,
and Public Orator, Oxford.
The Latin Poetry of Walter Mapes, Archdeacon of Oxford at the beginning
of the thirteenth century. Edited by Thomas
Wright, Esq. M.A., F.S.A. and
Three inedited Early English Metrical Romances. Edited, from a MS. in
the possession of J. I. Blackburn, Esq. M.P., by John Robson, Esq.
4
And—
The Private Diary of Dr. John Dee, from the MS. in the Ashmolean
Library, together with a Catalogue of MSS. in his Library. Edited by
James Orchard Halliwell, Esq. F.R.S.,
F.S.A.
is completed at the press, and will be ready for delivery to the
Members by the end of the present month. The Council have followed the
precedent of former years, in directing that there should be appended to
the last-mentioned volume a list of the Members of the Society for the
past year; and, if the General Meeting think proper, this Report and
that of the Auditors may also be added.
The Council have much satisfaction in being able to state that the
“Apology for the Lollards,” a work attributed to Wickliffe, which has
been so long delayed by reason of the many engagements of the Editor,
the Rev. Jas. Henthorn Todd, D.D. is now on the eve of completion; and
will certainly be ready for delivery in the ensuing year.
Considerable progress has also been made with the “Promptorium,” a
Latin and English Dictionary of words in use during the fifteenth
century, editing by Albert Way, Esq. F.S.A. a work which the Council
believe will be one of great merit and utility; and a portion of it will
be one of the publications of the ensuing year.
Besides the Apology for the Lollards and the Promptuary, the
following works have been ordered to be put to press at the convenience
of their Editors and the Society, and will be published as soon as they
are ready.
A Collection of Original Letters and Papers of Literary Men of England
during the Reigns of Elizabeth and James I., including some Unpublished
Papers of Camden. To be edited by Sir Henry
Ellis, K.H., F.R.S., F.S.A.
Latin Romance Narratives and Legends of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and
fifteenth Centuries, relating to King Arthur and other Heroes of the
Welsh and Breton cycle of Fiction. To be edited by Sir Frederic Madden, K.H., F.R.S., F.S.A.
Letters and State Papers relating to the Proceedings of the Earl of
Leicester in the Low Countries, in the years 1585 and 1586, derived from
a MS. placed at the
5
disposal of the Society by Frederick Ouvry, Esq. and other sources. To
be edited by John Bruce, Esq.
F.S.A.
The Private Diary of Thomas Cartwright, Bishop of Chester, temp.
James II.
The Romance of Jean and Blonde of Oxford, by Philippe de Reims, an
Anglo-Norman Poet, of the latter end of the twelfth Century. To be
edited from a Unique MS. in the Royal Library at Paris, by M. Le Roux de Lincy, editor of the Roman de
Brut.
The Council have added the following works to the list of Suggested
Publications—
A Collection of Original Letters relating to the Dissolution of the
Monasteries and some other points connected with the Reformation. To be
edited by Thomas Wright, Esq. M.A.,
F.S.A.
Specimens of the Anglo-Latin Poets from the seventh to the thirteenth
century, selected from inedited MSS. and arranged chronologically, with
notices of the Writers and popular Notes. To be edited by Thomas Wright, Esq. M.A., F.S.A.
Contemporary Diary of a resident in London, extending from the Year 1550
to 1563, now the Cottonian MS. Vitellius F. v. To be edited by
John Gough Nichols, Esq. F.S.A.
The Council have to direct the attention of the Society to the
obligations conferred upon it by J. I. Blackburne, Esq. M.P. by giving
the Society the use of the MS. of the Three Romances, edited by Mr.
Robson.
Also by the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, in placing in Mr. Way’s
hands, upon the application of the Director, his valuable early printed
editions of the “Promptorium,” which Mr. Way wished to use for his
edition of that work; and by the Master and Fellows of Saint Peter’s
College, Cambridge, for the readiness with which, upon a similar
application, they lent the Council, for the use of Mr. Way, a valuable
MS., entitled Campus Florum.
The same exertions, in behalf of the Society, which former Councils
have acknowledged, have been continued to be made by the Local
Secretaries, and other friends of the Society resident in the country;
and the Council trust that such exertions will not be relaxed. To
diffuse a knowledge of
6
the existence and objects of the Society tends, not merely to promote
its welfare, but also to carry out the purpose for which it was
established, by directing the attention of the possessors of MSS. to
those collections in which there yet exist, unpublished, inestimable
papers which this Society would be ready and willing to make
available.
Messrs. Nichols have continued to the Council the same attentions,
and have rendered them the same valuable and gratuitous assistance in
the general management of the affairs of the Society, which they have
given from its Institution. Nothing can be more honourable to Messrs.
Nichols, or more advantageous to the Society; and the Council are
assured, that it is only necessary for them to state the fact to the
Members, in order to its being duly appreciated.
The Council have to regret the loss, by death, during the last year,
of the Rt. Hon. Thos. P. Courtenay,
who, in addition to valuable services as a Member of the Council, was
one of the Trustees of the Society, and gave much attention to its
affairs. The Council have filled up the vacancy in the Trusteeship by
electing to that office Charles Purton
Cooper, Esq. LL.D., Q.C., F.R.S., F.S.A.
The Council have also to regret the death of Henry Bower, Esq. F.S.A. the very zealous and
efficient Local Secretary of the Society at Doncaster; and also of the
following other Members:
Thomas Barnes, Esq.
George Frederick Beltz, Esq. F.S.A.
Lancaster Herald.
Henry Eyton, Esq.
The Rev. Thomas Dudley Fosbroke,
F.S.A.
F. T. Grayling, Esq.
Lieut.-Col. John Harvey.
John Holmes, Esq. F.S.A. East
Retford.
Theodore Edward Hook, Esq. F.S.A.
Henry Mitchison, Esq.
John Moore, Esq. F.S.A.
The Right Hon. the Earl of Munster,
F.R.S., Pr.As.S.
7
The Rev. George Frederick Nott, D.D.,
F.S.A.
Edward Skegg, Esq. F.R.G.S.
John Sydney Taylor, Esq.
Lieut.-Gen. William Thornton.
Henry Woodthorpe, Esq. F.S.A.
The Council report that the Treasurer, having found that other
engagements prevented his any longer devoting to the accounts and
financial correspondence of the Society the time and attention which,
after an experience of three years, he found to be absolutely necessary
to be given to them, submitted to the Council the propriety of their
accepting his resignation, or of making some other arrangement with
respect to the accounts. The Council, regarding the subject as one
vitally affecting the welfare of the Society, proceeded immediately to
take it into their consideration, and are happy to be able to report
that they have effected an arrangement by which the accounts are now
kept, and the financial correspondence is attended to, by the Secretary,
the Treasurer still continuing responsible to the Society. This
arrangement will put the Society to a small annual expense, which can
very well be afforded, and which the Council are persuaded the Members
will think well bestowed, if it has the effect of preserving accuracy in
the accounts. The recent arrangements in the Post Office render it easy
for country Members to transmit their subscriptions by Post Office
orders, which course the Council recommend to be adopted, making the
Post Office orders payable to the Treasurer.
After the lapse of four years of continuing prosperity the Council
hope that the Camden Society may be regarded as having taken a permanent
station amongst established publishing associations. Many societies have
been founded upon similar principles, and one considerably out-numbers
this Society in Members: but there is no one which can produce better
evidences of stability and prosperity, or which has greater reason to be
satisfied with the estimation in which its works are regarded by the
public. Amongst the Candidates for admission recently entered there are
many Public Libraries and other bodies, whose desire to participate in
8
the advantages of Membership indicates the reputation of the Society,
both in this and other countries; and the prices maintained by our books
when copies get abroad into the market, afford encouraging proof of the
demand for them on the part of collectors and literary men. In four
years the Society has issued eighteen volumes, all of them works
excluded from the ordinary mode of publication, and yet worthy of being
published, of eminent use to historical inquirers, and likely to retain
a place in the permanent literature of the country.
The forthcoming works are fully calculated to maintain, if not to
increase, the reputation of the Society, and the Council see no reason
to doubt but that the Society may long usefully and prosperously retain
its station, and the number of its Members.
Dated 30th April, 1842.
We, the Auditors appointed to audit the Accounts of the Camden
Society, report to the Society, that the Treasurer has exhibited to us
his accounts, from the 27th day of April, 1841, to the 30th day of
April, 1842, and that we have examined the same, together with the
vouchers relating thereto, and find the same to be correct and
satisfactory.
And we further report that the following is a correct Abstract of the
Receipts and Expenditure of the Society during the period to which we
have referred.

The following Abstract was originally printed in two columns. The
headings “Receipts” and “Expenditure” have been added for clarity.

The Treasurer has also reported to us that the Secretary and himself
have made arrangements by which they hope, during the ensuing year,
almost, if not altogether, to get rid of all arrear of outstanding
subscriptions. We trust that the Members will assist them in this very
desirable object; and especially that Members resident in the country
will transmit their subscriptions at once to the Treasurer by Post
Office orders. The adoption of this course has been suggested by several
of the Local Secretaries; and it is obvious that it will greatly lessen
the troublesome and not very agreeable duties, which are thrown upon
those officers by the present practice, will lessen the number of
mistakes, and will greatly promote the prosperity of the Society.
Dated the 30th April, 1842.

LONDON: PRINTED BY J. B. NICHOLS AND SON, 25, PARLIAMENT
STREET.
The mouse-hover text gives the original words using the simple
“Rotate13” code.
To simplify decoding, spelling has been changed back to ordinary English
forms—f rather than ph (φ), w for uu
(υυ) and so on—and initial h has been supplied where
missing. Coded words originally written in Latin have been directly
transliterated, as have the words
in the Greek
language.
Greek transliteration:
| α |
a |
ν |
n |
| β | b |
ξ | x |
| γ | g, j (“Major”) |
ο | o |
| δ | d | π | p |
| ε | e | ρ | r |
| ζ | z | σ, ς | s |
| η | ê (long e, only in true Greek) |
τ | t |
| θ | th |
υ | u, v; υυ = w |
| ι | i, y, j (“Jane”) |
φ | ph, f |
| κ | k, c, sometimes sh |
χ | ch (the letter pair, not the Greek sound) |
| λ | l |
ψ | — |
| μ | m |
ω | ô (long o, only in one Latinized word) |
Initial “h” is shown as in true Greek, by placing a “rough breathing”
mark over the following vowel or diphthong—ἁδ = “had”—but
this is often omitted. Note the spellings -νκ-, -νγ- (for -nk-, -ng-)
where true Greek would use -γκ-, -γγ-.
