Order of the Garter, in English. Illuminated manuscript on vellum, [England: ?Windsor, between 1558 and 1562], iv + 30 + II (vellum) + iv leaves, COMPLETE, collation: 1–26, 3–62, 76, 8–102, the last two blank, ruled in ink for 23 lines per page, written in a very fine calligraphic script in black ink with contemporary marginal summaries in red ink, each paragraph introduced by a gold or silver initial on a coloured rectangular ground; slight thumbing throughout, but generally in fine condition, marbled endpapers, burgundy morocco gilt bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey, all edges gilt, contemporary polished calf, both covers gilt-stamped in the centre with the badge of the Order of the Garter surmounted by a crown (the arms of Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Ireland (1558–1603), flanked by her initials “E R”, and encircled by a garter with the legend ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’), late 18th-century reback with a red title-label ‘Order of the Garter’, somewhat stained and some edge wear, 4to (230 × 155 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance:Apparently written no later than the 4th year of Queen Elizabeth’s reign (i.e. before November 1562).‘S. Denny’, 17th(?)-century (signed at the beginning and end of the text).Charles Joseph Harford, of Stapleton, Bristol: his gift on the first day of 1824 (as recorded on the last front flyleaf) to:Sir George Nayler (1764–1831), Garter King of Arms (large bookplate).Evelyn Philip Shirley (1812–1882), British politician, antiquary and genealogist (bookplate, rear pastedown).‘J. S. Hall & Amicorum’ (book label).W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).‘The statutes and ordinaunces of the most noble order of St George named the Gartier, reformed, explayned, declared & renewed by the most highe most excellent and most puissant Prince Henrie the eight … shall be from henceforth always accomted eligible and may be chosen to be one of the companions of this Order’ (ff. 1r–30r).The text is essentially that as established in Henry VIII’s reign (the main text assumes that the monarch is male, mentioning, for example, ‘the Souvereigne or his Deputie’, f. 22v), but with some minor revisions very early in Elizabeth’s reign. A marginal note reads, ‘This is altered Anno primo Elizabethae Reginae …’ (f. 19v), and the very last item in the volume begins ‘It was farther ordered also the same day by her Ma(jes)tie …’. The latter is datable from other copies to the first year of Elizabeth’s reign, and as the manuscript does not include the statutes added in the 4th (or any subsequent) year of her reign, it shows that the text was written before the end of 1562 (see The Statutes of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, London, 1814, pp. 49–50).It may eventually be possible to deduce for whom the manuscript was made, as a limited number of Knights of the Garter were invested during the relevant period; they include Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (condemned for high treason and beheaded); Sir Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester; and George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury (who had the custody of Mary Queen of Scots for 17 years and witnessed her execution).

Phillipps, Torquay; W.A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).The text begins with the foundation charter by Robert de Beaumont (1104-1168), second earl of Leicester, and the first 13 folios in the modern foliation are occupied by the full texts of 34 donations and royal and episcopal confirmations, including final concords levied in the honor courts of Sayer de Quincy (d1219), earl of Winchester, and his son Roger de Quincy in 1252-53. Folios 13-17 in the modern foliation contain summaries of 89 gifts, four of which are English translations from what must have been Latin originals. Many charters are accompanied by marginal comments of circa 1540.Elements of two further cartularies are at British Library, MS Lansdowne 415; most of that cartulary and an abstract of the present one are printed in John Nichols, The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester 3 (2) (1804), pp. 805-30, 834-8. This volume is described in GRC Davis (ed., revised by Claire Breay, Julian Harrison and David M. Smith). Medieval cartularies of Great Britain and Ireland (London: British Library, 2010) Item 432.'Robert [Robert de Beaumont], second earl of Leicester (1104–1168), magnate and justiciar, was perhaps the most distinguished aristocrat of his day, educated to a high standard and a consummate politician and man of action. The curia regis seems to have been the place where he was happiest. He was a founder of two abbeys—Garendon (1133), a foundation which shows him to have been one of the earliest patrons of the Cistercian order in England, and Leicester (1138–9)—and of several hospitals and priories. His abbey foundations were, however, economical, employing the lands of other people, as at Garendon, or, in the case of Leicester, lands already given by his father to the church.' (ODNB)'Garendon Abbey, a Cistercian house, was founded in 1133 by Robert, Earl of Leicester. It was in all probability a daughter house of Waverley, the earliest Cistercian monastery to be established in England. The founder endowed the abbey with 5 carucates and 3 virgates of land at Garendon, a burgage tenement at Leicester, and other lands at Dishley, Shepshed, and Ringolthorp. During the 12th century various benefactors granted to the abbey lands at Eastwell, Ibstock, Welby, Burton on the Wolds, and Stanton under Bardon in Leicestershire, at Costock in Nottinghamshire and at Heathcote in Derbyshire. The wild country of Charnwood Forest, in which Garendon lay, gave the monks opportunities for agricultural development of the type accomplished by many other Cistercian houses. Before the end of the 12th century granges had been established in the vicinity of the abbey at Garendon itself, Stanton, Dishley, and Ibstock, and farther afield at Burton on the Wolds, Ringolthorp, Goadby, and Welby in eastern Leicestershire, the Peak and at Costock and Rempstone in Nottinghamshire. The abbey seems to have carried on sheep farming on a considerable scale; in 1225 the abbot obtained permission to export wool to Flanders or elsewhere, and there are references to sheep-folds at the granges. In 1341 the abbey was granted the royal chapel or hermitage of Cripplegate, at London, and in 1343 had licence to acquire four messuages in London. The advowson of Dishley was obtained in 1458, and the church was appropriated in the same year.Two daughter houses were founded from Garendon—Bordesley (1138) and Bittlesden (1147). There are indications, however, that in the late 12th century the Cistercians of Garendon failed to live up to the highest standards of their Order. One of the abbots, Geoffrey, seems to have been a married man, and one of the monks is said to have become a Jew. The resignation of Abbot William in 1195 was perhaps due to the displeasure of the general chapter of the Order at the Garendon lay brothers’ habit of drinking beer. A serious incident occurred in 1196, when the new abbot, Reynold, was attacked in the infirmary, and gravely wounded, by a lay brother. In consequence the general chapter of Citeaux ordered all the abbey's lay brothers to be dispersed. The command was not carried out at once, and in 1197 the abbots of two other Cistercian houses were instructed to proceed to Garendon and enforce the will of the general chapter. The abbey continued to contain lay brothers after this incident. In 1219 the conventual church was dedicated by the Bishop of St Asaph. At the end of the 13th century the finances of the house seem to have been in an unsound condition; in 1295 the king, at the request of the abbot and convent, appointed a special keeper to apply the revenues of the abbey to the relief of its debts, providing reasonable maintenance for the abbot and monks meanwhile, and two years later the abbot acknowledged that the house owed debts totalling £160. The depredations of a powerful neighbour, John Cornyn, Earl of Buchan, may have contributed to the abbey's difficulties at this period.'

In CSmH and Thomason copies the 'A' of 'A3' is under the second 'c' of 'accompt', as seen in this example. Also signed at end 'T.S.' rather than being signed at foot of p. 5 'S.T.' as seen in the other variant.This volume comprises 27 rare pamphlets recording the events during the English Civil War, particularly in Colchester, Essex, and also referring to related military movements and events during that time. Many relate to the Siege of Colchester which occurred in the summer of 1648 (12 June - 28 August) when the Second English Civil War reignited in several areas of Britain. Colchester became embroiled in the unrest when a Royalist army on its way through East Anglia to raise support for the King, was attacked by Lord-General Thomas Fairfax at the head of a Parliamentary force. The Parliamentarians' initial attack forced the Royalist army to retreat behind the town's walls, but they were unable to bring about victory, and as a result, they settled down to a siege. The Royalists resisted the siege for eleven weeks and only surrendered following the defeat of the Royalist army in the North of England at the Battle of Preston, Lancashire (17-19 August 1648).

The playwrights Beaumont and Fletcher were regarded in their time as two men so closely in harmony as to constitute one mind: 'Beaumont bringing the ballast of judgement, Fletcher the sail of phantasy… He who has not perused Beaumont and Fletcher can have no complete idea of the riches of English poetry' (Allibone I, 150-151).This first collected edition of Beaumont and Fletcher’s plays was, like that of Shakespeare, published posthumously and dedicated by ten actors (including John Lowin and Richard Robinson) to Philip, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, and with an Address to the Reader by James Shirley (the Dramatist) who is generally regarded as the editor of the work. 'This edition, which is said to have been edited by Shirley though the amount of revision he did is not known, contains all of the hitherto unpublished plays by Beaumont and Fletcher except the Wild-Goose Chase, the manuscript of this last having been lost' (Pforzheimer 53). With an astonishing twenty-two leaves devoted to poetic encomia of the authors, including first printings of poems by Jonson, Herrick, Milton Lovelace, Shirley and Waller, the publication of the Comedies and Tragedies occupied eight printers.
