A collection of royal proclamations from 19 Hen.VII. to 17 Car. I. with a table. Among these is the remark¬ able proclamation of Lady Jane Grey, transcribed from the copy printed by Grafton 1553. 199. folio. “ A further report from the Committee to whom the petition of the proprietors of the stock of the Governor and Company for raising the Thames water in York buildings, assembled in their general court held at their bouse in Winchester-street the I 2 lh Jan^ 1732, was re¬ ferred.” 200. Codex membranaceus in folio, in quo continetur Registrum cartarum Prioratus Hospitalis S. Johannis Jerusalem, ab anno 1492 usque ad 1500, tempore fratris Johan. Kendal, Prioris dicti Hospitalis. Ad finem desunt folia nonnulla, eeque ac fob lxxvi & Ixxvii. On the first leaf of this register is a very curious certificate in English, of a marriage celebrated be¬ tween John Docwra, aged IS,and Margaret Turpyn, aged 13, in the buttery of the above priory ; and yet from the ages of the parties, it may rather have been the previous ceremony of espousals than an actual marriage. 201. folio. Instructions for the government of the office of Ord¬ nance, from lG83 to 1727. 202. folio. lhe answer and certificate of Sir Tho. Rowe, Lord Mayor of London, anno 1 568, to the Lords of Council, ol the number of strangers and their families dwelling within the said city and its liberties; and what houses are pestered with a greater number of strangers than bath of late time been accustomed ; to whom they pay their rents, and how many of them resort to any of the strangers churches. This MS. seems to have belonged to Sir William Cecill, Bibliothecae Lansdownianse. 73 Num. 203, 204. 203. folio. A collection of ancient charters and instruments of various kinds, transcribed from originals at the instance of Elias Ashmole, esquire; commencing with the reign of Henry I. and ending with that of Edw. VI. At the beginning of the volume are four leaves of a similar collection, that might have suggested the undertaking to Mr. Ashmole; and at the end are some additional instruments of the time of Edw. II. and III. The hand¬ writing in several parts of the respective deeds has been faithfully imitated, so that the age of such as want dates may be easily conjectured ; and the seals have been accurately copied. The present volume may be regarded as another Madox’s Formnlare Anglicciniiih ,and would afford va¬ luable materials to any person disposed to republish that useful work. 204. in folio majori. The Chronicle of John Hardyng in metre, from the first beginning of England to the reign of llenry the Sixth ; very fairly written on vellum. It may be remarked of all the known manuscripts of this Chronicle, that they not only differ very ma¬ terially from the printed copy edited by Richard Grafton,but also from each other: the reason of which seems to have been, that Hardyng, a restless and time¬ serving character, thought fit to accommodate his hi¬ story to the temporary occurrences during the very turbulent period of his latter days. But his grand object was to stimulate,at all times, the princes whom he served to the conquest of Scotland ; towards the attainment of which he devoted the whole of his life, and at no inconsiderable risque of his person. In diffe¬ rent copies of the work we find the author addressing the same words both to Henry the Sixth and Edward the Fourth : but he is not always to be trusted, as he is known to have been hired by both these sovereigns to forge charters of homage from the Scottish kings, which are yet existing in the Exchequer. It may not be unacceptable to give a brief analysis of the present manuscript, which contains, 1. The author’s dedication to Edw. IV. Beg. “ O sovayne lord be it to zoure plesance.” There is reason for supposing that this is a subsequent addition to the MS. fo. 2 6. 2. Another dedication to Henry VI. Beg. “Who hath an hurte and wille it nought diskure.” fo. 3. He here recapitulates what he had done towards obtaining evidences from Scotland ; and mentions that the Lord Cardinal of York, the Lord Chancellor, had refused to pass a patent which the King had granted him of tile manor of Gedyngton, and, as he hints, for want of a bribe. He then very strongly urges his claim to some remuneration, which it ap¬ pears he afterwards obtained. See a memoir on this subject in Archaeologia, vol. I. p. 87. Towards the conclusion of the reign of Henry the Sixth, in the Chronicle, Hardvng again breaks forth into lamen¬ tation on the like occasion, and repeats much of the language here used. Neither of these dedications is in Grafton’s printed edition, with an exception of the last stanza in the first of them, which occurs in fo. ccxxxu of the printed copy ; but, on the other hand, this manu¬ script has not the dedication to the Duke of York as given by Grafton. Num. 204, 205. 3. The Chronicle itself. Beg. “ The while that Troy was regnyng in his myghte.” fo. 5. 4. “The pedegre of Edwarde thryd to the reme of Fraunce.” Illuminated, fo. 195. 5. The emblazoned arms of the author’s “maystir” Sir Robert Umfrevile. fo. 21.9. 6. The illuminated map of Scotland, fo. 225 b. This differs very materially from that engraved by Mr. Gough in his British Topography, vol. II. 579, from the Bodleian MS. and also from the drawing in the Harleian copy. 7. The letter of King Edw. I. to Pope Boniface* claiming his right to the kingdom of Scotland, followed by those of the Lords and Barons to the same Pontiff’, fo. 22b' b. 8. The author’s conclusion, fo. 229 b. In a marginal note in fo. 5 it is stated, that at the instance of the Cardinal of Winchester the author had permission from JuliusCesaryne, auditor of the chamber to Pope Martin the Fifth, to have daily in¬ spection of the Chronicle of Trogus Pompeius, after¬ wards drawn up by Justin, and in the custody of the above Pope at Rome. This very fair and splendid MS., besides the illu¬ minations already specified, is decorated with orna¬ mented initial letters, and with a few coats of arms emblazoned in the margins. It had formerly be¬ longed to Sir Robert Cotton, and was afterwards the property of one of the Gerards, earls of Macclesfield, whose arms are on the first leaf. Of Harding’s Chronicle there are MSS. in the Bodleian and Ashmolean libraries at Oxford ; in the Harleian collection, N°66l, and one nearly corre¬ sponding with the latter in the possession of the com¬ piler of the present article QF.Douce]. The Bodleian copy is described in the index toHearne’sLife ofSpel- man; and many curious particulars relating to Hard¬ ing may be found in Bale, Pitts, and Tanner; in Bi¬ shop Nicholson's Historical Library; in Howe’s ac¬ count of authors used inhisAnnals; in theArchaeo- logia, vol. I. 87,and vol.XVI.139; in Ritson’s Biblio- graphia Poetica; and in the preface to the last edi¬ tion of the Chronicle published in 1812. 205. folio.

This is a very fine MS. of the fourteenth century, elegantly written on vellum, and executed altogether in the English manner. Several of the margins are gaudily, though somewhat rudely as to art, deco¬ rated with borders and grotesque or ludicrous figures; and the initial letters are painted with subjects re¬ lating to the text. Among many other curious forms and ceremonies contained in this book, the follow¬ ing seem deserving of notice, and may be found useful in many respects, and particularly to design¬ ers of ecclesiastical subjects.

In the margin of fo. 123, there is a curious paint¬ ing of a leprous beggar-woman ringing a hand-bell to excite the attention of the passengers. Above her head is a label, inscribed “ Sum good my gen- tyll mayster for God sake.” It appears from the former Catalogue of the Lansdowne Manuscripts, that there somewhere ex¬ isted a memorandum relating to the present article, by Mr. West, its former possessor. The substance of it is as follows :—That it had been purchased by Mr. Somers, when a counsel on the Oxford circuit, of Mr. Fowler, a Quaker at Evesham, to the abbey of which place it had formerly belonged ; and that it afterwards fell into the hands of Mr. West at Sir Joseph Jekyll’s auction. On the other hand the compiler of the above catalogue conceived, but with¬ out much probability, that this book had belonged to the Cathedral of Exeter; a conjecture that ap¬ pears to have been founded on a memorandum made by some former possessor, on the last page, relating to the amount of the tenths of that see. 452. folio. A Volume the leaves of which are greatly injured by damp, and otherwise mutilated. It contains, 1 . A register of the prebends, chantries, parsonages, &c. belonging to the Cathedral of York and its deane¬ ries j with their valuations, and the names of the se- 2 K veral possessors: written in the reign of King Hen.

Deest finis hujus libri, scil. pars psalterii. Codex membranaceus, stec. xii. pulcherrime exa- ratus. 4o4. folio. A part of the Old Testament, in English, as transla¬ ted by John Wjcliffe or his followers ; fairly written on vellum in the fifteenth century. This appears to be an odd volume, and contains the Pentateuch ; Joshua; Judges; Ruth; the four books of Kings; Chronicles; 1 and 2 Esdras; Tobit; Judith; Hesther ; Job, and the Psalms of David. There is a note in the first spare leaf in the hand¬ writing of Mr. Mathews, who was Librarian to the Marquis of Lan«downe, and which it would have been better to have passed over or even to have can¬ celled altogether, if it had not been printed in the former catalogue ; but it cannot be permitted to re¬ main without some animadversion. It states that “ Mr. Astle, Keeper of the lower Records, no in¬ competent judge, is of opinion that this is the first and earliest English translation known, and much older than Wicleve’s time, or somewhat near that of the Anglo-Saxons.” . It is quite unnecessary to controvert this opinion ; but as Mr. Astle was un¬ doubtedly well skilled in the knowledge of ancient manuscripts, and Mr. Mathews a man of the strict¬ est veracity in general, it is not easy to conceive why such an opinion should have ever been promul¬ gated. The latter part of Mr. Mathews’s note may interest the curious reader, but cannot with much propriety be given in this place. The manuscript belonged successively to Lord Somers, Sir Joseph Jekyll, and Mr. West. 455. folio. A Volume written on vellum at the beginning of the fifteenth century, and containing, 1 . Certain chapters of the Old Testament, used as lections during Advent and Lent. fo. 12 . 2. “ Here begynnen ]?e lessons and pistlis of J>e oolde lawe bat ben rad in Jie chirch bi al Jiejeer.” fo. 18.

An antiphonary, or book of anthems, with the mu¬ sical notes of the Gregorian chant; splendidly written on fine vellum in the fifteenth century, with the initial letters beautifully painted in vermilion and ultramarine colours. The end is wanting. At the beginning is inserted a leaf, being the first of a table to the Repe>lorium Morale of Berchonus ; and on it are blazoned the arms of the see of Nor¬ wich. I lie volume may therefore have been used in Norwich cathedral. From the form of the mu¬ sical notes it should seem to have been of German manufacture. 461. large folio. A volume of the largest size, written on vellum about the end of the fourteenth century, being an imperfect breviary for the use of Sarum, with the mu- sick belonging to the anthems. It has some .'Humi¬ liated margins and initial letters. 462. large folio. A gradual or antiphonary for the use of Sarum, with the mtisick, being a volume of the same size, and written on vellum in the fourteenth century. Some of its margins are handsomely painted in gold and co¬ lour-, and others have grotesque subjects at top.

On some-pare leaves at the beginning and end there are hymns, with “ Eyrie eleison,” &c. and the musick, in a different and later hand. The beginning is wanting. 463. large folio.

Aliud registrum Brevium, sive registrum Cancel- lari*. p. 47 . On these two registers of ancient writs some learned owner of the volume has, on a spare leaf at the beginning, made the following remarks: “ In the lirst register are conteyned writts of the end of H. III. and beginning of E. I. which I have not found in any other register, this being the antientest I have seen any where extant.” And again, “ The register of writts, which begins fo. 47 , though it be of a latter date than the register that precedes it, yet seemes to me to be as antient as the time of E. I.; for it agrees exactly with Bracton, 1. 5. c. 2. fo. 328. of writts of right, as also with Hengham Magna, c. 1 . Vide etiam fo. 58 b, ubi fit mentio II. Regis patris nostri.” But if the learned owner had given a little more attention to the latter register, he would also have found some writs issued by Hen. III. which render it, so far at least as regards the materials of which it is constructed, coeval with the other. See particularly fo. 76 b. 7 . The statute of Westm. 1 . fo. 77 . (French.)

The clandestine manner in which this matter was conducted gave great offence to the people, and the reason of it w as that the son^s and ballads should not be publickly repeated.

A Treatise on the Court of Star-chamber, written by William Hudson of Greys Inn, Esq. and containing a very full and elaborate account of that tribunal. The following remarks on it by Mr. Umfreville, to whom this MS. belonged, are, with one excep¬ tion, too valuable to be omitted in this place. “ This treatise or survey (v. fo. 230) of the Court of Star- chamber will, upon reading, appear to be wrote in a masterly yet humble manner, and by impartial readers to be approv’d. It was begun in the reign of K. Ja. I s ', and finished early in the reign of Ch. 1 st , for the purpose of composing the general clamor in those times rais’d against that Court, for exceeding its proper bounds and jurisdiction. The author’s design is to shew its just jurisdiction, to which he wishes to restore it, and which he verify* by the an- tient orders and just practise of the Court. He greatly exclaims against innovations and innovators, among whom (in many places of the work i he rec¬ kons S' Edw. Coke during the time of his potency, and when he was Attorney-G., and upon whom he boldly lays these early innovations, which from his example afterwards increas’d and swell’d so greatly to the prejudice of public liberty and property. Upon the whole, from the author's modest manner of conducting the arguments, and his wishes to re¬ move innovations and observe the antient orders, it may be concluded that the Court rather wanted re¬ forming than dissolving, as it afterwards was by the stat. l6‘ Car. I. cap. 10. ^ 3. E. Umfreville.” It appears from the work itself that Hudson was a barrister, and a practitioner in the Court of Star- chamber. Some further account of him may be seen in a note by Humphrey Wanley, which follows the above by Mr. Umfreville, and also in the Harl. Catal. of MSS. N° 1226. There is another unpublished treatise on the an¬ tiquity of this Court, by G. William Mills, 15J)0, of which Mr. Oldys had a MS. copy. See likewise Mr. Tate’s work in vol. ii. of Hearne’s Antiquarian Discourses. 623. folio. •• A table to the most remarkable points in the printed cases upon Appeals to the House of Lords since the year 1701, upon which the decrees and judgments were affirmed, varyed, or reversed.

This report contains some very able opinions on the political state of Great Britain, the author con¬ cluding in words which it may be useful in all times to attend to: “ War is commonly the time for pri¬ vate men to make fortunes out of the publick. Peace should be the proper time for the publick to get by the industry of private men, to which industry the State should give all reasonable encouragement and help, and render trade as little burlhensome to the Merchant as the circumstances of affairs will admit of. If this course be taken, we shall have the over¬ balance of trade not only with France, but most of our other neighbours. We shall make provision for another war which is not impossible, let a peace be never so well settled for the present, and we shall lay the foundation for such a stock of treasure as may not be liable to the accidents to which paper credit will ever be obnoxious.” It appears from this paper that the national debt of England was at this time fifty millions. 6.

This was printed at St. Alban’s, 1534 , 4 to., by John Hertford. This book belonged to Mr. Umfreville, who, in a note, has properly remarked that many of the pieces contained in it were never printed.

His dedication is dated from his house at Stockland Bristow, 4 miles from Bridgwater, anno Dom. 1565 , the 25 Novem. the year of his age 40 . The work is in the form of a dialogue between the author and an Oxford man, and appears, from the last page, to have been in¬ tended for the press. It contains many quotations from Thomas Norton’s Ordinal of Alchemy. The book is in its original ornamented covers, and was probably sent as a present to Queen Elizabeth ; but from its silly nature detained in its passage by Lord Burghley, in whose family it continued. Mr. Ashmole has collected a good deal concerning this man in the annotations to his “ Theatrum Che- micum” ; see also Ayscough’s Catal. of the Sloane MSS. p. 481. 704. 4to.

On the back of fo. 1 57 is an entry of the original licence for the printing of his Life and Emblems, dated Feb. 20 , 1616 ; which may serve to show the manner in which these licences were then obtained. At the end are various memoranda of his ex- pences, &c. 705. 4to.

A work intitled “ Natsichhatil-Moulouki, or a tract containing the edification of virtue to all Kings; being Bibliothecae Lansdownianae: 163 Nam. 715—720. a true guide, shewing to all Mouhhamadanish Kings and Regents, &e. how young or ignorant that they be, after being enthroned and come to soveraign govern¬ ment. how they all their life time religiously shall be¬ have themselves, and without of being solicitous per¬ fectly to govern their kingdoms; interlaced with all sorts of histories and sentences of learned men, taken out of all books, and first composed in the Persian lan¬ guage, and afterwards translated into the Arabick and Malajouish, by Imam-ghazali and Hhadji ismael, and in both languages characterally written and trans¬ lated into English by Ja. Walker, 1701.” The work is divided into two parts or volumes, the first containing the Arabick text, and the second the English translation, both very neatlv written. The translator seems to have been a Dutchman by birth. 716. 4to. An unfinished abridgment of Camden’s Britannia, as published by Dr. Gibson, 1/22. 717 . 8vo. A book in the hand-writing of John Stowe the his¬ torian, containing divers extracts made in the year 1572 , from the “ Liber de Hida,” a monkish chroni¬ cle, in Latin, belonging to the Abbey of Newminster or Hyde near Winchester. It contains many parti culars of Saxon history, and also copies, in Latin and English, of the wills of Kings Alfred, Ed red and Athelwold, with that of Duke Athelmar. It is a dif¬ ferent work from the Register of Hyde, formerly in Mr. Astle’s library, and from which he published King Alfred's will. In fo. 4/ Stowe has the following me¬ morandum, “that there be in the bokeof Hide in greate and fudge parchment writen dyvars of thes things before writen, and many other testaments of certeyn Saxon Kings which be writen in bastard Saxon and translated into Latyn and Englyshe, &c.” This volume belonged to Sir Richard Saint George Clarencieux herald, and afterwards, as mentioned in Tanner’s Notitia Monastica, to his son Sir Henry. 7 18. 4to.

A list of the Lord Mayors of London from the year 1214 to l 605 , with an account of the arms of some of the City Companies. 720 . 8vo. “ Voyage d’ltalie.” This is the title to the present elegant and interesting volume, which contains an account of the travels in Italy of some very learned and intelligent Frenchman, between the years 15 J 4 and 1578 . They are written in a remarkably neat Italic hand, and occasionally ornamented with neat drawings in pen and ink. Interspersed are numerous Num. 720 , 721- sepulchral and other inscriptions. As the work is unfortunately w ithout any index or table of contents, it may not be improper to notice a few of the most remarkable particulars : fo. 68 b. An account of a door way in the cathedral at Bologna, having very singular twisted columns, ac¬ companied with a drawing. fo. 103 . A representation of the celebrated monu¬ ment near Bologna, with the inscription AELIA. LA ELI A. CR 1 SPIS, &c. fo. 124 . A.spirited drawing of the head of Petrarch, copied from the bronze on his tomb at Arqua near Pa¬ dua.

A note of the author’s having heard an oration made bv Carolus Sigonius at Bologna, on the appointment of Roderic de Pozos Figueroa k Ponteve- dra, as a rector in the university there, with a printed copy of the oration itself inserted. His reason for in¬ troducing it is very singular, and shows the contempt in which the French, at this time in particular, held the Spanish nation. These are his words : “ laquelle j’adjousteray ici pour niemoire d’avotr ouy orer un si grand personnage, et non pour le subject de sa ha¬ rangue, qui est en la louange d’un Espagnol." fo. 190. An account of the monument of Brune- leschi the Architect, with the story of the egg as re¬ lated by Vasari. Query if this be not the original of the adventure of the egg ascribed in general to Columbus ? fo. 201. A printed edict of the Grand Duke of Tuscany for the protection and preservation of the ar¬ morial ensigns and publick inscriptions belonging to the city of Florence. fo. 279. A copy of some Chinese characters in a book said to have been written by Pope Marcellus 11 . and preserved in the Vatican library, together with the ancient Etruscan alphabet and a musical scale composed of numerals. This work is not only one of the earliest descrip¬ tions of modern Italy, but it may be also regarded as one of the best, especially as to the contents of pa¬ laces, publick edifices, and inscriptions of various kinds, many of which are no longer existing and probably no where else recorded. 721. 4t.o.

Interspersed with the above matters are some ge¬ nealogical notices of the families of Whilpor, Cos- patrick and Bruce. 8. A memoir of the life and writings of the Rev.

It is materi¬ ally different from the Ceremonials given in 'Looker’s book on the Evil in Waldron’s Literary Museum, and in Parsel’s Latin Common Prayer, the last of which is merely an abridgment of the older one. 10. “ Certaine prayers to be used by the Oueenes Ilighnesse in the consecration of the Cramp-ring.” fo. 103.

A Volume fairly written on vellum in the fifteenth cen¬ tury, and containing the following ancient and very interesting treatises on musick by different authors : 1. “ Hunc Iibrum vocitatum Musicu Gnidonis scrip- sit Dominus Johannes Wylde quondam exempti mo- nasterii Sancte Crucis de Waltham precentor. Quern quidem librum ut [autr] hunc titulum qui maliciose abstulerit vel deleverit Anathema sit.” fo. 1*. I his work is also intitled “ Monacordum,” and di¬ vided into two parts; the first being called by the author “ Musica Manualis,” and the second “ To- nale.” The whole has been accurately analysed and commented on in the valuable Histories of Mu¬ sick composed by Sir John Hawkins (vol. ii. p. 202), and Dr. Burney (vol. i. 413 ), both of whom had had the use of this manuscript. The preface, or prologue, begins “ Quia juxta sapientissimum Salo- inonem.” In it the author informs us that he had composed the first part abroad, and the latter, lately 170 Catalogus Librorum MSS. Nam. 763. in England. lie does not in this place name him¬ self; but there is very good reason for supposing, with the above learned writers on the science of musick, that he was the before-named John Wylde, precentor of Waltham Abbey, and not Guido him¬ self, whose precepts contained in his general works are here condensed and delivered in another form. This manuscript therefore is the author’s auto¬ graph. 2. “ Tractatus de octotonis.” Inc. “ Septem orbes septem planetarum cum dulcissima armonia volvun- tur." fo. 49. This short treatise, in which the musical tones are assimilated to the sun and planets, occupies little more than a single page. The author’s name no where appears. See an abstract of it in Hawkins's Hist, of Musick, ii. 214 . 3 . “ Musica de Sancta Magdalena.” Inc. “ helix Magdalene cantandi prominet arte." fo. 50 . This short work, in hexameter verses, contains a mystical gamut in which all musical perfection is said to lie concealed. It was composed, if we are to believe the author of the verses, by Mary Mag¬ dalen herself. The writer appears to have been one Kendall, a monk of Sherborne. 4. A resolution of tones and semitones, set to mu¬ sick. fo. 53 . 5. “ Antiphona, per quam ascendit a Gamma us¬ que ad Delasol.” fo. 54 . 6. “ Tractatulus de effectu musice speculative.” Inc. “ Musica est scientia recte canendi.” fo. 54 b. Of this anonymous work Sir J. Hawkins has given an analysis, voi. ii. p. 215 . And see Burney, vol. ii. p. 416. 7. “ Speculum cantantium sive psallentium, scil. de affectu musice moralis secundum tradiciones antiquo¬ rum et sanctorum patrum.” Inc. “ Quia omnes ^ sci¬ ence liberates.” fo. 58 b. See an abstract of it in Hawkins, ii. 218 . See also Burney, ii. 417 - In this treatise are the following very curious sa¬ tirical verses upon those clerical chanters who in performing the church service not only corrupt the singing psalms, but hurry them over in a very dis¬ graceful manner. They have evidently been com¬ posed by some monk under the feigned name of Saint Bernard. Detestatio contra pervers^ psallentes Oui psalmos resecant qui verba rescisa volutant Non inagis illi ferent quam si male lingue tacerent. Hi sunt qui psalmos corrumpunt nequiter almost Quos sacra scriptura dampnat, reprobant quoque jura; Janglers cum jappers, nappers, galpers, quoque drawers, Momlers, forskippers, overenners, sic overhippers. Fragmina verborum TUT 1 VILLUS colligit horum. Janglers and jappers are those who talk fast and jestingly; nappers and galpers, sleepers and yawn¬ ers ; drawers, probably those who sing or read in a drawling tone of voice-, forskippers are, skippers over; overenners (overrunners) and overhippers seem to mean something of the same kind. Tutivillus is a name given to a Lollard in one of the old monk¬ ish mysteries or pageants, performed in the abbies and by the companies of city tradesmen. He is introduced as bringing a parcel of damned souls, which he had corrupted on earth, to a company of Devils, and in the following lines describes himself and the reason of his name: Num. 763. “ Mv name is TUTIVILLUS, my home is blawen Fragmina verborum Tutivillus colligit horum Belzebub Algorum, Belial belman doliorum." He tells the Devils that he is one of their order and one of their sons, and in return is saluted by the name of the Devil’s chorister, which explains the reason of his introduction into the above verses.

He was probably a monk or precentor of the Priory of Torkesey in Lincolnshire. 15 . “ Regule Magistri Johannis de Muris.” Inc. “ Intendentes scientie musicalis exquirere cognicio- nem.” fo. 94 . This is supposed to be only an abridgment, by some other person, probably John Wylde, of De Muris’s doctrine touching the Cantus Mensurabilis. Whoever is desirous of knowing more of the last- named author may consult Tanner Bibl. Britannico- Hibernica ; Fabricii Bibl. Med. et infim. tetat. iv. 309. edit. 1734; Hawkins’s Hist, of Musick, vol. ii. book ii. ch. 2; and Burney’s Hist, of Musick, vol. ii. chap. 3 .

The account in this treatise of the musical notes will he found curious and interesting. There can be no doubt that the author of it was Walsingham the historian, who was a monk and also precentor of the abbey of Saint Alban ; lint it has escaped the notice ot Leland, Bale, Pitts, Tanner and Fabricius. Dr. Burney has given a short analysis of this work, ii. 420 ; and see Hawkins, ii. 142 , 225 .

At the end of the treatise the author tells us that “ who wil konne this gamme wel, and the ymaginacions therof and of his acordis, and sette his perfite acordis with his imperfite acordis as I have rehersid in this tretise afore, he may not fade of his countirpoint in short tyme.” See more relating to this work in Hawkins, li. 225 ; and Burney, ii. 422 . 18 . “Her folwith a litil tretise according to the ferst tretise of the sight of descant; and also for the sight of countir, and for the syght of the countirtenor, and of faburdon.” fo. 112.

See the substance of it in Hawkins, ii. 22 / ; and see Burney, ii. 425 . 19. “ Her beginneth tretises diverse of musical pro- porcions and of their naturis and denominacions, ferst in Englissh and than in Latyne.” Beg. “ Now passid al maner sightisof descant.” fo.

A short treatise on proportion in Latin, being a continuation of an addition to the preceding article ; with some exemplifications in musical notes, fo. 122. See Burney, ii. 426 . We have seen that this valuable manuscript be¬ longed originally to John Wylde the precentor of Waltham Abbey ; and not only such part of it as was composed by himself, but all the other treatises that it contains were written by his own hand, in all probability about the year 1460 . His pious anathe¬ ma was of no avail ; for at the dissolution of the Abbey the book fell into the hands of the celebrated Thomas Tallys, organist to Ring Henry VIII., his name being on the back of the last leaf. From him it is supposed to have passed into the hands of the no less celebrated Thomas Morley, one of the gen¬ tlemen of Queen Elizabeth’s chapel, to whom it was of considerable service in his “ Introduction to Musicke.” It afterwards became respectively the property of Mr. Powle, Speaker of the House of Commons and Master of the Rolls in the reign of King William; Lord Chancellor Somers; and Sir Joseph Jekyll. At the sale of the latter’s books it was purchased by some country organist, who pre¬ sented it to Mr. West. Dr. Pepusch appears to have been permitted by one of its owners to make a transcript of it, which is said to be still extant. Besides the passages in the Histories of Musick by Sir John Hawkins and I)r. Burney, already referred to, a general account of the contents of this manu¬ script may be found in the work of the former gen¬ tleman, vol. ii. book 2, chap. 10. The following papers have been added to the end of this volume, viz. 1. An original letter from Dr. John Wallis to some unknown person (the superscription being lost), with his remarks on an ancient Greek manuscript contain¬ ing a collection of hymns and anthems composed by the members of the Greek church at Constantinople, with the art of singing, &c. fo. 124 . Num. 763—767. It is printed in Hawkins’s Hist, of Musick, vol. i. p. 391 . 2.

Faithfullie translated out of an originall manuscript brought (as manie other rare monumentes of antiquitie) out of Greece, by that late industrious and learned man William Pettie.” The ambiguity of the above title has led to a sup¬ position that Wm. Petty (the person particularly mentioned in N 7?0°f the present collection) was the translator of the work; but it seems only to mean that he brought the original manuscript with many others from Greece, as he is well known to have done. It came into the possession of John Cotes, Esquire, of the Middle Temple, who put it into the hands of the translator, as is stated in the dedication to that gentleman, dated Feb. 6‘, lb’44. The origi¬ nal work is printed among the Byzantine historians and elsewhere ; but, as the above translator states, from a far less perfect copy than that which he made use of; and for this reason, as well as that no En¬ glish translation of this curious writer was ever pub¬ lished, the present manuscript may be regarded as extremely valuable. 1 .

The History of King Boccus and Sydracke the phi¬ losopher. Translated from the French into English rhyme by Hugh of Caumpeden. This is a MS. of the fifteenth century fairly writ¬ ten on vellum ; but the last five leaves have been much injured by damp. For some account of this work consult Mr. Warton’s Hist, of English Poetry, vol. i. 143 , vol.ii. 101 , and the Athemeum, vol. i. 493. The MSS. of it are not very uncommon in French, but the present and the Sloane 2332 are the only English copies in the Brit. Museum. Mr. Warton mentions one in the Bodleian library, with a different beginning, according with the very rare printed copy. This begins “ Fadir and sone and holy goost As thou art Lord of mightes moost.” It has not the concluding lines in the printed copy which points out the translator’s name, of whom no¬ thing seems recorded ; for Bale only knew him in the booksellers’ shops. Robert Wakefelde, whose name occurs at the end of the Sloane copy, was only the transcriber of the MS. and probably the learned chaplain of King Henry VIII. 794. folio. “ The Image of Ypocresye.” A poem in four parts by John Skelton, poet laureat. Written on paper in the reign of King Henry VIII. This is in all probability the author’s own MS. of a work never printed. It belonged to Peter Le Neve, Esq. Norroy, at whose sale it was purchased by Mr. Num. 794—796. West. Thomas Martin of Palgrave was permitted to make a copy of it, which fell into the hands of the late Dr. Farmer of Cambridge, and is now in the possession of Richard Heber, Esq. of Hodnett in Shropshire. It seems to want the beginning, though this cannot easily be ascertained; for the first page has not only suffered much from time, but Mr. Le Neve has written several memorandums upon it, and covered some part of the original hand-writing. Mr.Hearne made great use of this MS. in hisGlossary to Peter Langtoft’s Chronicle, where there are some extracts from it. See particularly under the word “ wroken,” p. 684 . See likewise N° 778 of this collection, art. 5 . 795. small folio. A Volume containing the following articles: 1.

A very thin book consisting of seven leaves only, writ¬ ten at the end of the fifteenth century; it contains the following articles; 1. A miserable poem, in stanzas of four lines, in praise of English woolen manufactures, and recom¬ mending that they be kept out of the enemy’s hands. Prefixed is this Latin motto, “ Anglia propter tuas naves et lanas omnia regna te salutare deberent.” Beo-. “ G °o forth lybell and mekly shew thy face.” It con¬ cludes with the following stanza, “ Here endyth the boke of Ynglyssh polysye.

A critical, historical, and descriptive Catalogue, in English, of a collection of Roman medals in large, middle, and small brass, formerly belonging to the Ercolani family, an ancient sanatoria! house at Bo¬ logna; published by some Englishman in his travels, and again offered by him for sale. It contains some useful remarks. 801. folio. “ Brief memoires relating to the silver and gold coins of England, with an account of the corruption of the hammer’d monys, and of the reform by the late grand coynage at the Tower, and the five country mints, in the years 1696, 1697, 1698, and 1699.” By Hoplon Haynes, Esq. Assay Master of the Mint, 1700. This valuable work seems to have been intended for publication by its author. It passed into the hands of his son, the Rev. Hopton Haynes, and after¬ wards became the property of Mr. West. The fol¬ lowing are its contents or divisions: 1. General observations of the ancient state and use of money in commerce, fo. 1. 2. A brief account of the ancient coins of England, and the several alterations in their species, weight, and standard, fo. 10. 3. Tables of the silver coins from 28 Edw. I. to the present Queen, fo. 43 . 4 . Tables of the gold coins from 18 Edw. III. to the present Queen, fo. 51 . 5 . Remarks on the foregoing tables, fo. 59 - 6.

Two Volumes, being part of a critical and descriptive Catalogue of Drawings, chiefly ot the Italian School, and formerly belonging to Padre Rests, an eminent collector. Bibliothecae Lansdownianae. 185 Num. 803—805. There is some reason for supposing that this col¬ lection passed into the hands of Elias Ashmole, Esq. who has transcribed the present volumes, and occa¬ sionally inserted some fragments of the original cata¬ logue, written by the Padre himself in Italian. The first volume contains an account of only a part of the collection, the description of which seems to have filled several volumes. It is interspersed with a great number of historical remarks on the different masters, chiefly compiled, especially from Vasari, but containing nevertheless many original anec¬ dotes that may be found extremely useful. There is also a vindication of the Bolognese School against Vasari; and at fo. 261, copies of two letters from An¬ nibale to Ludovico Caracci. To each volume of the collection of drawings the original owner had pre¬ fixed a very quaint and fanciful title, which might induce some persons to believe that he was a little de¬ ranged in his understanding. The second volume contains “ An alphabetical catalogue of the Painters in the collection, with the drawings of each respective master, referring to the several books in which they are placed;” with “ A chronological view of the Painters” from the year 1200 to 1670. f)u. whether the rest of these volumes, with the drawings themselves, be remain¬ ing in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford ? 804. folio. A miscellaneous Volume formerly belonging to Mr. Powle. It contains: 1. A calendar of the Rotuli Escaetorum from Edvv.I. to Edvv. IV. fo. I. 2. A copy of the King’s mandate to the Mayor of Kragston-upon-Hull, for the restitution of a Flemish fishing vessel taken off the coast of Scarborough. From the office of the Clerk of the Pells.

A fac simile copy of the celebrated Virgil preserved in the Vatican library, made by Pietro Santi Bartoli, and accompanied with 50 drawings in gold and colours besides the very elegant frontispiece which has the fol¬ lowing inscription: “ Camillus Maximus imagines ex P. Virgilii Maronis veteri codice qui in bibliotheca Vaticana servatur Urbani VIII. Pont. Maxiini con- cessu pingi curavit, mdcxlii.” Of the age of the original manuscript it would be impossible to speak with certainty; and various have been the opinions of learned men on the subject. It has been carried as far back as the reign of Septi- mius Severus; but certainly without the least autho¬ rity, and with every probability of erroneous concep¬ tion. They seem to be nearer the truth who ascribe it to the time of Constantine the Great, especially if there be, as is asserted by the Abbe' Winckelman, a nearly contemporary memorandum in the MS. it¬ self to that effect; which, if genuine, will do away the opinion of those who, by collation with the Flo- 3 E 198 Catalogus Librorum MSS. Num. 834. Tentine Virgil, contend that it is not earlier than the fifth century. Another set of critics admit the ma¬ nuscript to beof the time of Constantine, but consider the paintings as copied from originals of a much earlier period. This opinion seems to have been founded merely on the style of Bartoli’s copies; and it is to be remembered, that this ingenious artist has been accused of a systematical intention of making several meaner specimens of art appear as the pro¬ duction of a better age than they really belong to. It is certain, however, that none can have the fair means of judging without a comparison of the copies with the paintings in the manuscript. There have been several publications of it accompanied with Bartoli’s engravings. The Vatican manuscript in question (for there are others in that library with which it has been con¬ founded) is written on parchment, but is said to be sadly mutilated, and to contain only fragments of the Bucolics, the Georgies, and the YEneid. 1 he fol¬ lowing account of it, transcribed from the papers of Emanuel a Schelestrate or Schelstrat,one of the Va¬ tican librarians, may not be unacceptable to many : “ Anno 1686, die l6 Septembris, in bibliotheca Va- ticana, coram R.

The History of the Earls of Warwick, ascribed to John Rouse or Ross of Warwick, with their arms em¬ blazoned, and portraits of them neatly painted in water colours. Although these portraits are imaginary, they are interesting for the armour and costume ot a period anterior to the manuscript itself, which is only a copy of some other. Concerning this work Mr. West, to whom it be¬ longed, has made the following remark on fo. 1 ; “ The drawings of the Earls of Warwick seem to be taken from John Rous roll of the Earls of War¬ wick which in Sir William Dugdale’s time was in the possession ot Robert Arden of Parkhall. W hat relates to the Earls of Warwick is printed by Mr. Hearue at the end of his Life of Richard the Second, though without the arms or draughts of their effigies here expressed.” It is not impossible that the por¬ traits might have been copied as is here slated, but the works are certainly different. The roll used by Dugdale, and then in Mr. Arden’s possession, was in Latin, and had besides a portrait of Ross himself, which Dugdale has caused to be engraved bv Hollar in his Warwickshire. The roll of Warwick, men¬ tioned by Bishop Nicholson in his Historical Library as in the Bodleian library, is in all probability an¬ other copy of the same work. Both these have been confounded by Mr. Gough in his British Topogra¬ phy, vol. ii. p. 301, with Rous’s Life of Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick,in theCotton library, Jul. E iv. the beautiful drawings of which have been engraved in Mr. Strutt's Horda Angel cynnan, and the contents or arguments of it printed in llearne’s Hist. Vita; et Regni Ric. II. The curious reader may collect still further information on the present article from the preface to the last-quoted work by Mr. Hearne. 4 . “ Habes hie, erudite lector, illustrium virorum cognomina quos sanguinis claritudine armorumque in- simiibus prestantissimos insulam expugnasse Britan- rtiam celeberrima passim annalia testantur; quod si quis Claris prognatus parentibus de primo progenitore suo forte subdubitat, hue accedat etoriginem suam in- quirat.” fo. 2 6 .

A Catalogue of the Pictures, Books, Medals, Bronzes, and various Rarities belonging to King Charles I. and deposited in His Majesty’s palaces of Whitehall, Windsor, Hampton Court, Kensington, &c. for the most part very ignorantly drawn up, by Abraham Van- der Doort, keeper of the King’s cabinet, of whom an account may be seen in Mr. Walpole’s Anecdotes of Painting in England. This is one of the several copies extant of this work, which was afterwards printed by Bathoe in a very mutilated form. Another copy may be seen in the Harleian Collection, N° 4718. The original is said to be preserved in the Ashmolean Library°at Oxford. Mr. Walpole has stated, and pro¬ bably with more humour than strict veracity, that Tom Hearne once thought of publishing it, but, concluding it was German, gave it over. Bad English it certainly is; but in all events T. Hearne would have given a much better edition. Prefixed to this volume is an Inventory of Mr. Prior’s Pictures taken Oct. 18 , 1721 , by Adrian Drift, being 123 in number. Among these were three, by or after Tintoret, of the following interesting subjects here particularly described: 1.The manner in which Henry the III d of France was received when he passed through Venice in his return from Poland. 2.
