XVIII.— Some account of an Unpublished Collection of Songs and Ballads by King Henry VIII. and his Contemporaries

A Manuscript volume of songs, ballads, and instrumental music, which once belonged to Henry VIII, has recently been brought to light, and it is of interest, not merely for restoring a large number of songs of which no other copies are now known, but also because some among them were written by the King himself, within the first three or four years of his reign. Henry was then so much subject of his own songs, that these are of material assistance in forming a judgment of his early character
