John Day's principal and most elegant device was the following:

It is evidently a pun upon his name, a custom to which the ancient typographers were greatly attached; but besides the mere play upon

the word, it certainly alluded to the day of Protestant Reformation,
which had been rapidly brought forward by the aid of Printing.
Another device used by Day is a large upright parallelogran
surrounded by double lines, of which the outer one is the thickest,
and within which is a very elegant Grecian Sarcophagus, bearing
a skeleton lying on a mat. At the head of the corpse, which is
the right hand, are two figures standing and looking down at it, of
which the outer one is in the habit of a rich citizen, having his let
hand on his sword, and the other, who is pointing to the body, is
dressed like a doctor, or schoolmaster, with a long beard. From
his mouth issues a scroll, rising upwards in eight folds, on four of
which are engraven in small Roman capitals, Etsi Mors, in dies
accelerat," although death hasten daily, and the remainder of the
sentence," Post Fvnera Virtvs vivet tamen, "--- Virtue notwithstand-
ing lives after the burial, appears in similar letters on another scroll,
which is elegantly twined round the branches of a holly, placed
behind the sepulchre, to indicate by a tree that blooms at Christ-
mas, the evergreen nature of virtue. The sarcophagus, figures, and
tree, stand by the side of a river, with some distant vessels, on the
left hand of which are rocky sbores, with cities, &c. and in the
upper corner on the left is the sun breaking out of clouds. The
letters I. D. appear in small Roman capitals on the lower left hand.
In this device, which is by no means common, Day evidently al-
luded to the day of Resurrection; and although the other will cer
tainly bear the same interpretation, yet it is perhaps more probable
that he signified the day of the Gospel glory was breaking on the
world, by the printing and dissemination of the Scriptures in the
English tongue. The device last described occurs on the reverse
of the last leaf of J. Norton's translation of the Latin Catechism,
printed at London "by John Daye dwellingouer Aldersgate. Cum
Priuilegio Regiæ Maiestatis per Decennium, 1570." Small Quarto.
It is also to be found at the end of "Churton's Cosmographical
Glass of 1570." Folio. Savage, in the British Librarian, imagined
that this cut had an allusion to the death of Day, but upon a very
slight foundation; and others have supposed that he adopted it from
John Gibson, judging from thence that he was his instructor in the
Art of Printing. The portrait of Day, which appears at the head of
this article, is perhaps the earliest of our ancient printers, which
can be depended upon a sgenuine. It is taken from "the Elements
of Geometrie of the most auncient Philosopher Evclide of Megara."
1570, Folio; but the original wood-cut bears the date of 1562. The
print itself has a large cartouch oval frame, with pinks and gilly-
flowers issuing from the four corners, and immediately round the
portrait is a band containing the following words in Roman capitals.
LIEFE. IS. DEATHE. AND DEATH IS. LIEFE: ÆTATIS.SVÆ: XXXX
From the excellence of the drawing and engraving of this portrait,
as well as from the singular orthography used in the foregoing le-
gend, it may be presumed that it was of German execution; there
are also smaller wood-cuts of Day's head.

RICHARD DAY.

This person was the son of the eminent printer last mentioned, and was elected from Eton College in the year 1571, to King's College Cambridge, where he assumed the degree of M. A., be came Fellow, and afterwards supplied the place of minister at Ryegate, in Surrey, in the place of John Fox. Perhaps bis
