"A booke dedicated unto the Queenes Majestie, by Master Thomas Charnocke, studient in the most worthie sciencis of astronomie, phisicke, and philosophie contayneinge the woorke off naturall philosophie." This is the author's autograph. His dedication is dated from his house at Stockland Bristow, 4 miles from Bridgwater, anno Dom. 1565, the 25 Novem. the year of his age 40. The work is in the form of a dialogue between the author and an Oxford man, and appears, from the last page, to have been intended for the press. It contains many quotations from Thomas Morton's Ordinal of Alchemy. The book is in its original ornamented covers, and was probably sent as a present to Queen Elizabeth; but from its silly nature detained in its passage by Lord Burghley, in whose family it continued. Mr. Ashmole has collected a good deal concerning this man in the annotations to his "Theatrum Chemicum"; see also Ayscough's Catal. of the Sloane MSS. p. 481.
