Robert Southwell was an English Jesuit, who was imprisoned, tortured, and finally, in Feb. 1598 executed for teaching the Roman Catholic tenets in England. This work, which Johnson was now reading, was, most probably, a little book, entitled Baudi Epistolae. Bishop Shipley had been an Army Chaplain. Ante, iii. 251.
There are about thirty cases on record, of which the most famous, that of the Countess Cornelia de Baudi Cesenate, was minutely investigated and described by Giuseppe Bianchini, a prebendary of Verona, otherwise distinguished in letters, who published an account of it at Verona in 1731, which he afterwards republished at Rome.
