where, to (how the Italian Genius, they
have spent more Money on Pidures than
on Books. Among the Heads of several
learned Men I met with no Englijhman^
except Bishop Fi/her, whom Henry the
Eighth put to Death for not owning his
Supremacy. Books are indeed the least
part of the Furniture that one ordinarily
goes to see in an Italian Library, which
they generally set off with Pidures, Sta-
tues, and other Ornaments, where they
can afford them, after the Example of
the old Greeks and Romans.
