Minor Notes.
_The MSS. of Gervase Hollis._--These were taken during the reign of Charles
I., and continue down to the middle of Charles II. In Harl. MSS. 6829, will
be found a most curious and valuable volume, containing the painted glass,
arms, monuments, brasses, and epitaphs in the various churches and chapels,
&c. throughout the county of Lincoln. The arms are all drawn in the margin
in colours. Being taken before the civil war, they contain all those which
were destroyed or defaced by the Parliament army. They were all copied by
Gough, which he notices in his _Brit. Top._, vol. i. p. 519., but not
printed.
His genealogical collections are contained in a series of volumes marked
with the letters of the alphabet, and comprehended in the Lansdowne
Catalogue under No. 207. The Catalogue is very minute, and the contents of
the several volumes very miscellaneous; and some of the genealogical notes
are simply short memoranda, which, in order to be made available, must be
wrought out from other sources. They all relate more or less to the county
of Lincoln. One of these, called "Trusbut," was presented to the British
Museum by Sir Joseph Banks in 1817, and will be found in Add. MSS. 6118.
