The article focuses on the book "Remarks and Collections by Thomas Hearne," edited by C.E. Doble. For books, printed, and written, Hearne's eyes and ears are, very sharp, for his own sake, for the sake of letters, and for the Bodleian Library's sake. Sometimes he gives a glimpse into rare volumes at what has caught his own eye. Hearne's was a well-guided eye. Among "the several Habits of that Age," what chiefly struck him was the headgear of the royal barefoot, which was "very odd," who have seen a thousand times as many Irishmen as Hearne ever saw.
