Littleton’s Tenures; Manwood’s Forest Laws; Nicholson’s Border Laws;
various Law Reports, and Statutes, with other works on Civil and Canon
Law.

in 2 vols. folio; Wallisii Opera Mathematica, Oxonii, 1699, in 3 vols.

In French and Italian Literature, the Works of Bayle, Boileau, Fontaine,

I may add copies of Don Quixote and Telemachus.
Among the Miscellaneous Volumes may be noticed the Reliquiæ Bodleianæ,
Lond. 1703, 8vo.; the Reliquiæ Spelmannianæ; Camden Insignia, à Whear,

1637, 12mo.; Juliani Imperatoris Opera; Spinosa Opera Posthuma; and Capt.
Siden’s History of the Levarites, Lond. 1675, 12mo.
I will conclude my notice of this ancient Library, by the mention of
Macaber, Speculum Marticinium, 1613, 4to.; and a French Translation of
La Dance Macabre, printed upon vellum, in the Gothic types of A. Verard,
or Guyot Marchand, at Paris. The Illustrations, thirty-five in number,
descriptive of each dialogue between Death and the character he addresses
are highly finished, and very curious. This volume is kept in the
Manuscript Library.
I may here also notice two volumes preserved in the same repository,
as of peculiar interest, being the Booke of Christian Prayers, printed
at London by John Daye, in 1569, 4to. containing a portrait of Queen
Elizabeth at the back of the Title, and ornamented with wood-cuts, from
designs of the best masters, having the Dance of Death, after Holbein,
coloured. The present was Queen Elizabeth’s own copy, and was afterwards
in the possession of Queen Anne. This interesting volume has been rebound
in blue morocco, gilt and tooled in the antique style. Also,
The Works of King Charles the First, 1672, folio, containing, in a
curious manuscript note in the beginning, its own singular history,
attested by one who apparently was a competent witness.
“This being seized on board an English ship was delivered by
order of the Inquisition of Lisbon to some of the English
priests to be perused and corrected according to the rules
of the Index Expurgatorius. Thus corrected, it was given to
Barnaby Crafford, English merchant there, and by him it was
given to me, the English preacher resident there in 1670; and
by me, as I then received it, to the Library at Lambeth to be
there preserved.”
“Ita testor, ZACH. CRADOCK.
“November 1, 1678.”
The volume itself fully corroborates this interesting account, being
disfigured throughout by rapid strokes of the pen through the Monarch’s
prayers, and every expression relating to the advancement of the
Protestant religion, displaying Inquisitorial criticism in its full
vigour, to the enquiring eyes of the nineteenth century.
I may also mention here, some Tracts collected by Bowyer on the Kalendar,
and a Collection of Political Tracts from 1682 to 1733, in 3 folio
volumes; the donation of Mr. J. Nichols, printer in Fleet Street, Dec.
7, 1776, which afford me an excellent opportunity of alluding to the
contents of that voluminous series of Tracts, thus described by Dr.
Ducarel in the Memorandum prefixed to his accurate and copious Catalogue
of their Contents:—
“This is a Catalogue of a great number of very scarce and valuable
Tracts, and Pamphlets, from the time of Henry VIII. to that of Queen
Anne, which having for many years lain undigested in this Library were
by order of his Grace Archbishop Cornwallis, methodized and bound in the
year 1773.”
These Tracts are both historical, and theological, political, and
miscellaneous, and in number so great that I only advert to the principal
subjects to which they refer.
These are Church affairs in general. The Clergy, Penal Laws, and Tests,
&c., Tithes, &c. The 39 Articles, Baptism, Catechism, Christianity,
English Divinity, Jews, Liturgy, Marriage, Methodists, Miracles,
Prayers, French and English Protestants, including some against Popery,
Quakers, Sacheverell, Sacraments, Trinity, the Bangorian, Socinian, and
Anti-Socinian, Popish and Whistonian Controversies, Warburton, Waterland,
and both the Universities. Also numerous Sermons.
There are also Politics in general, including American Transactions,
Irish Affairs, Laws, London, Oxfordshire, Parliamentary Affairs, the
Pretender, Scotland, Shakespeare, State Tryals, and others, Wales,
Pamphlets of 1611-44-49, 1696-1716, 1646-58, 1705-26, 1700-17, and
1637-1707.
There are moreover of miscellaneous nature, embracing Almanacks, the
Kalendar, Biography, Botany, and Physic, Trade, English Poetry, and many
other subjects, in Latin, English, and French.
This Catalogue also includes an account of the Pamphlets and Tracts
bequeathed to this Library by Archbishop Secker, which begin in 1715 and
end in 1768, and refer principally to the events of that period.
This circumstance leads me to notice in detail the component parts of
that munificent bequest, his entire Library, which Archbishop Secker
bequeathed to the See, whose highest honours he had enjoyed.
I have deemed it expedient to give a separate account of this portion
of the Lambeth Library, distinct from that of the original Collection,
being of opinion that the impress of the owner’s mind is in some degree
stamped upon his Library, and that, viewed by this reflected light, the
Prelate’s industry and judgment as a collector, enhance the sense of his
munificence as Archbishop.
A Library of such extent and importance, bequeathed entire, amply
deserves separate and particular description.
As might naturally be expected the Theological department of this
Collection is that which has received the most attention from its pious
founder.
It contains among the earlier Divines, the Works of Anselm, Arnobius,
Basilius, Cyprian, Epiphanius, Gregory, Irenæus, Grotius, Polycarp,
Justin Martyr, Philo Judæus, and other pillars of the Church.
It also embraces,
Chrysostomi Opera, à Montfaucon. Parisiis, 1718, in 13 folio
volumes.
Hieronymi Opera, Vallarsii. Veronæ, 1734, in 11 vols. folio.
Origenis Opera, de la Rue. Paris, 1733, in 4 vols. folio.
Tertulliani Opera, Rigaltii. Parisiis, 1675, folio.
Lactantii Opera, Du Fresnoy, 2 vols. 4to.
Reeves’ Apologies of Tertullian, &c. London, 1709, in 2 vols.
8vo.
Wake’s Epistles of the Apostolical Fathers.
Among the Works of the English Divines I particularly noticed those of
Andrews, Bingham, Blackhall, S. Clarke, Chillingworth, Cosin, Farmer,
Forbes, Fordyce, Hooper, Kennicott, Kettlewell, Joseph Mede, Pococke,
Prideaux, Secker, Seed, Thomas Sharp, Squire, Sherlock, Stebbing, Joseph
Stennett, Stillingfleet, Sykes, Synge, Taylor, Warburton, Waterland, and
Whitby.
Here also are found, Addison’s Evidences of the Christian Religion;
Barclay’s Apology for the Quakers; Butler’s Analogy; Campbell on
Miracles; Chappelow on Job; Durrell’s Remarks on Job, Oxford, 1772;
Dodwell on Marriage, with some other Tracts relating to the same
subjects; Fiddes’ Body of Divinity; Hutcheson’s Moral Philosophy;
Jones on the Trinity; Lardner’s Testimonies; Lavington’s Enthusiasm of
Methodists and Papists, 1749; Lowman’s Paraphrase; Lowth’s Commentaries
on the Prophets; Macknight’s Harmony; Ostervald’s Arguments; Parker on
the Scriptures; Patrick’s Commentaries; Peters on Job; Phillips on Sacred
Literature; Poole’s Annotations on the Bible, and Tracts against Popery;
Pyle’s Paraphrase, &c.; Le Chevalier Ramsay’s Philosophical Principles
of Religion, Glasgow, 1749, in 2 quarto volumes; Universal Restitution,
a Scripture Doctrine, London, 1761, 8vo.; Stevenson on the Gospel
Miracles, with other Tracts on the same subject; Dr. Gregory Sharp on
the Prophecies; Shuckford’s Connection; Smalbroke and Sykes on Miracles;
Tennison’s Guide of a Christian; Trapp on the Gospels, and on the Church
of England; Turnbull’s Christian Philosophy; Venn’s Whole Duty of Man;
Wall’s Infant Baptism; Webster on Prayer; Welchman on the Thirty-nine
Articles; West on the Resurrection; Weston on Miracles; Whitby’s
Paraphrase; Witherspoon’s Essays; Whiston’s various Works; White, Bishop
of Ely, on the Sabbath Day, 1635, 4to.; Stackhouse’s Exposition of the
Apostles’ Creed, and his Body of Divinity, London, 1729, folio, a book
which was lost, but replaced by Archbishop Manners Sutton, in March 1798.
Of Pulpit Eloquence, the Archbishop seems to have been a warm admirer,
since we here find the Sermons of Abernethy, Atterbury, Blair, Balguy,
Bull, Butler, Bedford, Bellamy, Bennet, Bentley, Berriman, Biscoe,
Brown, Brakenridge, Bundy, Burton, Calamy, Chandler, Carter, Conant,
Crowe, Dalton, Dawson, Delany, Dodd, Dorman, Duchal, Elliott, Emlyn,
Felton, Fleetwood, Forster, Franklin, and Free. Of Gough, Green, Harvest,
Herring, Hickes, Hoadly, Hopkins, Jeffrey, Jennings, Jephson, Jones,
Kennicott, Knowles, Lardner, Mangey, Morris, Moss, Mudge, Newcombe,
Newton, Reay, Ridley, Rogers, Romaine, Rotheram, Secker, Sacheverell,
Seed, Shepherd, and Sherlock.
Since the foregoing pages were written, a List of some of the early
printed Books, in the Lambeth Library, by the Rev. S. R. Maitland,
London, 1843, pp. 464, has been privately printed, and been followed by
the publication of an Index of such English Books, printed before the
year MDC as are now in the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth, by the Rev.
S. R. Maitland, F.R.S. London, 1845, pp. 120. 8vo.

Library of Lichfield.
The Library of the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield is preserved with great
care in an upper Chamber of the Chapter House adjoining the Cathedral.
The Manuscripts are kept under lock and key in brass-wired cases at the
one end of the room. The Printed Books are arranged in classes upon open
shelves, and have in many instances been rebound or rebacked, though the
greater portion of them retain their original binding of calf.
This Library retaining but few of its monastic treasures, was
munificently endowed by Frances, Countess of Somerset, whose portrait
very well painted in the costume of that period adorns the upper end of
the room. In a case beneath was formerly deposited the famous Gospel
book of St. Chad; the doors of this receptacle bearing the following
Inscription:—
“Sanctiss. Liber
qui intus reconditur
sicut in arca est collocatus
Thesaurus fuit olim et deliciæ
Illustrissimæ Dominæ
Domicæ Franciscæ Devereux
Ducissæ Somersetensis
Cujus pulcherrimam Imaginem
Auspice Lector
et Venerare.
Hoc Immerito
Clarissimi enim heroici
“Gemmam hanc cui aurum est vile”
Unà cum prope mille aliis Volumen
Dilectæ suæ et semper memo:
Ecclesiæ Cathedral: de Lichfield
Majorem Dei Gloriam et
bonarum Literarum ubertatem
D. D. F.”
This precious volume has, however, been transferred to the glazed case
in which the other Manuscripts are kept. Its scription is undoubtedly
of very high antiquity, and the uncial letters and other ornaments of
the volume alike attest this fact. This volume is written in Latin upon
vellum, and is bound in russia, lettered “Evangelia Sancti Ceaddæ.
DCCXX.”[40] It contains 236 pages, according to the numeration of some
modern hand. The date of the year 720, though conjectural, is probably
near the mark; and the following remarks of Mr. Nares in his Manuscript
Catalogue may serve to elucidate the literary history of this ancient
volume.
“Tradition reports it to have been the hand writing of St. Gildas, but
when it is observed that it abounds with gross errors both in orthography
and grammar, it becomes impossible to believe it the work of any learned
scribe. The characters are round and fair, having a strong affinity to
the Saxon letters, and the Saxon words and names occurring in the margins
plainly show that the book had been in much use for administering oaths
under the Government of that people.” The size of the volume is large
quarto apparently, though truly I think it is in folio.
A beautiful and valuable Manuscript of the Poems of Chaucer, written upon
vellum in a noble folio volume, contains 292 leaves, but unfortunately
wants that which ought to intervene between the 209th and the 210th of
Mr. Nares’ enumeration. It would be a curious task to compare the text
of this venerable Manuscript with the first printed editions of the
Canterbury Tales, &c. from the press of Caxton. This book has also been
protected by a russia surtout, and it contains some elegant illuminations.
I also remarked the Manuscript Poems of William Kingsmyle, Knight;
Archdeacon Smalbrooke’s Common Place Book; the Codex Justiniani; Taxatio
Papæ Nicolai; Scire Mori; A Pricke of Conscience; A Tract of St. Anselm,
and several volumes of Adversaria Theologica, bound in calf.
This Catalogue, given in vol. II. p. 32 of the Catalogus MSS. Angliæ et
Hiberniæ, Oxon, 1672, folio, attributed to Humphry Wanley, contains all
the books at present in the Library, with the exception of Nos. 1389,
1396, 1399, 1404, 1406.
Many of the Manuscripts were in the old Monastic Library, but others were
part of the bequest of the Countess of Somerset in 1672. A Catalogue of
the entire Collection bequeathed to the Cathedral by that noble lady is
preserved among the Manuscripts. An old borrowing book too, used by
Samuel Johnson in 1774, is there also preserved.
In this case is preserved the most brilliant Gem of this Collection,
being no less than Caxton’s History of King Arthur, folio, whose well
known colophon runneth thus:
“Thus endeth this noble and joyous book entitled LA MORTE
DARTHUR; notwithstanding, it treateth of the birth, life, and
acts of the said King Arthur, of his noble Knights of the
Round Table, their marvellous conquests and adventures, the
atchieving of the Sangreal, and in the end the dolorous death
and departing out of this world of them all. Which book was
reduced in to English by Sir Thomas Malory, Knight, as afore
is said, and by me divided in to XXI books, chaptered and
imprinted, and finished in the Abbey Westminster the last day
of July, the year of our Lord M.CCCCLXXXV.
“Caxton me fieri fecit.”
This is one of the rarest of Caxton’s productions, a perfect Copy is
in the Library of Lord Jersey at Osterley, formerly in the Harleian
Collection, which I believe is the only other copy known. The present
copy is elegantly bound in olive coloured Venetian morocco with gilt
leaves.
This volume which I had a subsequent opportunity of examining, I found
to be an imperfect copy of the Life and Actes of King Arthur, folio,
bound in Venetian Morocco with gilt leaves. It is printed in double
columns of black letter, entwined by some barbarous wood-cuts, with the
chapter-numbers on the head line in italic character. It is imperfect
both at the beginning and the end, commencing with the “Prologus” on
sign. Ψ. ii. and ending with a leaf of “The xxist booke,” having the
catchword “now.” on the recto, and “were” on the reverse. This volume
measures ten inches and a half by seven inches and three quarters.
The oldest English Bible in this Library is the Bible by Cranmer, printed
at London by Edward Whytchurche in 1540, whereof the title, which is
encadred in wood cuts, runneth thus:
¶ The Byble in Englyshe, that is to saye the conte̅t of al the holy
scrypture, both of yᵉ olde, and newe testam̅et, with a prologe therinto,
made by the reuerende father in God, Thomas archbysshop of Cantorbury.
¶ This is the Byble apoynted to the vse of the churches.
The present Copy has the title inlaid, and is bound in the original calf
with plain brass clasps.
Next to this stood the two stately folios of Ogilvie’s Bible of 1660 in
red morocco.
Buck and Daniel’s Bible of 1638, divided into five thin folio
volumes, bound in old blue morocco.
Field’s Bible, printed at Cambridge in 1660, in 2 volumes,
folio, attired in crimson velvet, with silver clasps.
Buxtorf’s Hebrew Bible, printed at Basle in 1618, in folio.
Novum Testamentum è Codice Alexandrino curâ Woide. Lond. 1786.
