XXVIII.— Specimens of Marks used by the early Manufacturers of Paper, as exhibited in Documents in the Public Archives of England
The title which has just been read to you will shew that it is not my intention to enter into the inquiry which has been so learnedly conducted by others, into the various substances which have been used for the purposes of writing, and the times when one substance became superseded by another which was found more suitable to the purpose
II. Notices of the old Clochard or Bell-Tower of the Palace at Westminster
Now that the public attention is so much directed upon the Tower at Westminster which is to receive the great clock and bell which are to proclaim the hour to the whole population of London, it appears not unseasonable to draw into notice the ancient and long-lost Bell-Tower which formed part of the buildings of the ancient Palace of Westminster, and stood very near to the site of the more splendid and imposing Tower recently erected
King Edward’s Spoliations in Scotland in A.D. 1296—the Coronation Stone-Original and Unpublished Evidence
THE first northern campaign of King Edward, in which he reduced John Balliol.King of Scotland, to submission, is marked by two circumstances, both of which, though but of the underwood of history, are of singular interest to both nations.,These are, first, the seizure of the royal treasures in the castle of Edinburgh ; and secondly, the removal to Westminster, from the Abbey of Scone, near Perth, of the chair in which the Kings of Scotland had be…
On the Book of Devotions, Deposited by Cardinal Howard in the Library of the Dominican Convent at Bornheim in 1659
I AM permitted by Lady Stourton to whom it now belongs, to lay before the Institute a manuscript which will, I doubt not, be found, both on account of its beauty as a work of art, and of some circumstances of historical interest with which it is surrounded, to be eminently deserving their attention.It is a book of Catholic devotions, one of the class called Missals in ordinary parlance ; but like many other manuscripts usually so denominated, not…
XXV. Remarks upon two Original Deeds relating to Sir Thomas Swinford, the son of Catherine Swinford, who was afterwards the wife of John of Gaunt
I have the pleasure of laying before the Society an Original Deed which makes a trifling addition to the little which is known of Sir Thomas Swinford, the son of Catherine Swinford, whose connection with John of Gaunt, and subsequent marriage to him, make her and her son historical personages of the fifteenth century. It has been found amongst the Evidences of Mr. Wentworth, of Wolley, in Yorkshire
XXIII. Journal of the Mission of Queen Isabella to the Court of France, and of her long residence in that country
The year 1325 is memorable in the history both of England and Prance as a time when very difficult negotiations were going on, and when the Queen-Consort of England undertook the office of mediator between her husband, the King of England, and the King of France, her brother
V.— The Seal of Chaucer
I beg to have the honour of laying before the President and Members of the Society of Antiquaries what I cannot but deem a very interesting relic, an Impression from the Seal of Geoffrey Chaucer, perhaps the only impression which has descended to our times. I am sorry, however, that it is only a drawing from the original which is now produced; but the original itself will be shewn to any member of the Society who feels an interest about it
XIX. On the Measures taken for the Apprehension of Sir Thomas de Gournay, one of the Murderers of King Edward the Second, and on their final Issue
Among the ancient compotuses in the Exchequer which have been lately brought to light by the exertions of the Honourable Board of Commissioners on the Public Records, are several which relate to the measures taken by King Edward the Third to bring to justice Sir Thomas de Gournay, the principal actor, as was alleged, in the murder of his father in Berkeley Castle: and as they place the circumstances of his capture, and his ultimate fate, in a lig…
