Summary[edit]

John Barefoot. Line engraving, 1793.
Title
John Barefoot. Line engraving, 1793.
Description

John Barefoot. Line engraving, 1793. Another version of this engraving has verse underneath. He is also mentioned here in the 1769 book A Biographical History of England, from Egbert the Great to the Revolution. An excerpt:
John Barefoot, letter-doctor to the university of Oxford.
"Upon this table you main faintly see
A doctor, deeply skilled in pedigree
To ne plus ultra his great fame is spread,
Oxford a more facetious man ne'er bred." <more lines follow>
Aetat fuae 70, 1681
"This facetious man was many years a letter-carrier in the university of Oxford. It appears from the above inscription that his memory was extraordinary: I am informed, from unquestionable authority (James Well, Esq. who had it from the mouth of Mr. Hearue) that this invention was as extraordinary as his memory. He was a coiner of what they call white lies; and as his fictions were rather of the probably than the marvellous kind, they were sometimes verified."
