LONDON : JOHN RODWELL, 46, NEW BOND STREET. 1836. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD VISCOUNT MELBOURNE, My Lord, Aware of your Lordship's well-known liberality in promoting literature in general, and confident that you would not withhold your patronage from any individual, (however humble his attempt,) I am encou- raged to dedicate the following work to your Lordship. The object of this publication is to rescue from oblivion a series of Records most important for the elucidation of English History; a portion of which Records, at the suggestion of the Right Honourable Sir John Newport, has been given to the public under the auspices of the Right Honourable Board of which your Lordship is the chief. VI Under these circumstances I feel assured that I shall not incur your Lordship's displeasure by submitting this Volume to your notice, with an earnest wish that it may be deemed worthy of your Lordship's high approbation and patronage; and beg leave, my Lord, to subscribe myself, ^ With unfeigned respect. Your Lordship's most obedient And very humble servant, FREDERICK DEVON. INTRODUCTION. The Records from which the extracts forming this Volume are taken comprise nearly a perfect series of Order and Issue Books during the reign of King James the First, preserved in the Pell Office, a portion of which are wx'itten in abbreviated Latin. The patronage with which the Editor has been favoured by the public, from the rapid sale of his previous volume of translations from these records having far exceeded his expectations, encourages him to pursue a similar plan in the present instance. The Editor is fully aware of the weight which attaches itself to the objection of furnishing extracts only, as many particulars which may be considered of the highest intei-est and importance by one person, may by another be viewed as insignificant or not worthy of notice. When, however, it is stated, that if the entire records were given, this collection for the reign of King James alohe would furnish sufficient subject matter to form many folio vo- lumes, it will, it is presumed, be some extenuation for the plan here pursued. To obviate, in some degree, the above viii INTRODUCTION. objection, it has been thought advisable to bring within one view, as nearly as possible, under a distinct head, the great variety of subject that is to be found treated of generally throughout these records, in the following manner. " Ambassadors and others sent to and coming FROM Foreign Courts." Under this head will be found an account of all allow- ances and entertainments mad« to ambassadors, both foreign and domestic; the time when they departed upon or returned from their embassies ; the instructions given to them ; on what services they were employed ; and the public and private communications made thereon: also a statement of the presents and payments to them, their se-t cretaries, or suite, together with their expenses for em- barkations, travelling, and all other charges incident to their employment. " Messengers employed by the King, Officers of State, "^"Privy Council, Judges, and others." This division contains more diversified information than any other, both as regards the public policy of the state,, and the private and domestic transactions of the court. It specifies the names of all messengers em- ployed; to whom and for what purposes sent; whether to foreign powers, courts, or ambassadors : if sent to the nobility or gentry, to collect loans, benevolences, or sub- sidies, then specifying the style, title, dignity, and pre- INTRODUCTION. IX sent or late residences of these personages. Messen- gers dispatched to execute all process issuing out of the court of Star Chamber, Chancery, Exchequer, King's Bench, Common Pleas, or other courts, for the tracing or arresting of traitors, conspirators, recusants, and all other malefactors, with the particulars and circumstances at- tending such arrests ; to what places the prisoners were taken and imprisoned, and the expenses incurred in the performance of these Services ; with an account of their progress upon all state affairs, where they tarried on their journeys, whether at a nobleman's or other person's residence; to execute all process directed to the sheriffs for collecting money, &c.; to issue sum- monses to the doctors and others of the University; to summon members of the Legislature to attend upon his Majesty and the Parliament; and for all other purposes upon which messengers were usually employed. One entry under this head is here selected to show the nature of the curious information to be derived there- from : viz. " To John Tarbock, messenger of the Chamber, sent by the Attorney-General from the Temple to Mr. William Wyatt, bailiff pf Stratford upon Avon, in the county of Warwick, from thence (o him at Wollorhampton, and staying there while he had dis- patched certain business for his Majesty's service, returned back to him at Stratford, and from thence brought with him to London in his company two geldings, three copes, two surplices 6f holland, two embroidered altar cloths, three crucifixes of silver gilt, two chalices of silver gilt, and other ceremonial things, and returned to Sir Edward Coke at Stoke Pogeis, in the county of Bucks, and after keeping him in his house, giving him meat, drink, and lodging, for the space of eight days, returned to £. $. d.

"Privy Seals for Causes extraordinary, also without Imprest or Account-" To this head may be referred payments and directions INTRODUCTION. XI, for the performance of all public, state, and private affairs; viz., amongst others, to make and repair bridges, to erect palaces, improve the King's parks, woods, forests, castles, manors, and other possessions of the Crown, and to make surveys thereof; to repair the bulwarks, forts, garrisons, &c.; the expenses of the master of the horse ; to provide masques and entertainments for the court; payments for tapestry, jewels, pictures, and plate; to repair the royal tombs and monuments; repayments of money borrowed ; payments for preventing the escape of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot, for the appre- hension of traitors, and detecting witchcraft ; payments respecting the border counties between England and Scotland; for the discovery of gold mines in Scotland; for the workmanship and expenses of public buildings, spe- cifying the places where built, and the purposes for which the money was obtained; payments of the Queen's debts, frequently setting out each article for which the debt was contracted,- the price, of whom purchased, and generally how applied, &c. "Lieutenant of the Toweb, Keeper of the Gate-House, Knight and Provost Marshal, &c." This section exhibits an account of expenses incurred for state prisoners, traitors, conspirators, &c., with the dates of their committal, how long they were in custody, when discharged, the treatment of them, and their de- cease; fees and allowances to the keepers, gaolers, porters, and attendants, with the date of their appointments, &c. ; payments to the provost marshal and commissioners for the borders; various payments for suppressing the dis- xn INTRODUCTION. orders and tumults in the border counties; viz., to Lord Scone, comptroller of Scotland, and to others, for their support in reducing the rebels to obedience, then in open rebellion against the King, and plundering his sub- jects there. " Garrisons, Fortifications, Blockhouses, Forts, &c." The number of men employed in each, with their daily pay and allowances, viz., in Milton and Tilbury, near Gravesend, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Scilly Islands, and other forts, blockhouses, and garrisons, with an account of the supplies furnished to each of them, &c. " Navy, Treasurer of, &c." Comprises all charges for the building and repairing of siiips, together with the quantity of stores, and the number of cannon and men in each vessel ; in many in- stances upon vvhat service or occasion such ships were employed ; the orders given to the captains, and time of their sailing and i-eturn into port; the names of the cap- tains and commanders, and charges whilst at sea or in harbour; estimates for victualling the navy, signed by the admirals and principal officers when on duty; in fehort, every expenditure connected with the shipping and naval service, is to be found in these entries. "The Judges, Magistrates, Gaol Delivery, Assizes, &c." The name and appointment of each judge appear in these records, with the circuit assigned to them, or any especial commission or assize they- might have to attend. INTRODUCTION. XIU The circumstances relating to the iters and gaol deliveries are often mentioned, with the names and nature of the causes the Judges had to try ; entries of all payments made to them for their yearly salaries, allowances, &c. " Ireland, Treasurer at War there." Payments to the garrisons and military establishments there, for horse-armour, and furniture to the army ; on what occasions the army was employed; money sent to pay the soldiers, with the expense of the portage thereof ; rate of exchange of money paid for the coinage of harp shillings, &c.; concoi-datums and warrants granted for the victualling and transportation of soldiers into Ireland, with coat and conduct money; number of men sent to, from whence sent, and to what places, for what purposes, and how long employed; apparel and clothing sent for the forces there, describing each particular part of the soldiers' dress and equipment, with their charge^^. &c. ; payments and regulations for the plantations in the north of Ireland, " Low Countries, United Provinces, and Pala- tinate." Payments to the forces there, and for their clothing, during Sir Ralph Winwood's residence, as councillor of estate; allowances to him, for his diets, entertainment, and intelligences. The payments connected with the Elector of the Pala- tinate and his marriage with the Lady Ehzabeth are so numerous, that, if fully extracted, they would be sufficient to fill two or three volumes of themselves; feome few notices only of them are, therefore, selected. xiv introduction. " Goldsmiths and Jewellers to His Majesty." The great variety of payments made for gold, jew^els, plate, pictures, diamonds, and other precious stones, ob- tained from George Heriott and other celebrated mer- chants and jewellers, to be bestowed as presents and rewards from his Majesty to the Queen, his children, courtiers, nobility, foreign ambassadors, and other persons, are so ft-equently referred to in this work, that it is thought un- necessaiy here to present any detail or minute descrip- tion of those contained in the original entries; their nature and extent may in some measure be traced in the Index at the end of this volume, under the names of the respective persons upon whom they were bestowed ; and the purchase and price of many will be found upon referring to the names of the King's jewellers and others, from whom they were obtained. It is to be remarked that very many are omitted to be noticed, this being one of those heads which, if fully given, would form an ample volume. , "Expenses of the King's Printer and Book- seller." Viz., for printing privy seals for loans, proclamations and books for his Majesty; for printing and providing books for the House of Lords, — amongst others the fol- lowing are mentioned, — the Statutes at Large, 9 vols., old edition ; the Stiatutes at Large, 3 vols., new edition ; Pulton's Abridgment of the Statutes; two Bibles, in English; one Book of Common Prayer; the Statutes of Scotland; four Statute Books, primo Elizabethee, con- taining the oaths of supremacy ; two Statute Books of INTRODUCTION. XV the last session of Parliament ; the Ecclesiastical Canons ; two books of computations ; three almanacs; seven reams of pot paper; a cabinet with lock and key, &c. Under the following general heads may be found many minute payments of an interesting nature, too voluminous to be here detailed, viz. ARMOURY. The expenses for keeping of, at the Tower, Windsor Castle, and other places, viz., muskets, swords, daggers, and other implements and accoutrements of war. COFFERER OF THE HOUSEHOLD.

The Editor trusts, from the references here given to the general contents of this manuscript collection, and upon an examination of the subject matter contained in the Index appended to this volume, that the importance and interest of these documents will be deemed suflScient to w^arrant the zeal manifested by Sir John Nevpport (lately appointed to the custody of them) to make their contents known to th§ public. It is to be lamented that they have remained so long in obscurity, as they unquestionably would have afforded very great assistance to the biographer and his- torian of this period of our history. The truth of this assertion will appear upon referring to some of the under- INTRODUCTION. XVII mentioned contemporaneous and subsequent writers,* who might here have found undoubted authority for many circumstances given upon suggestion only, and corrected errors they have fallen into for want of such authenticity,] The Editor feels convinced that the character of King James the First has by some writers been much mis- represented,f at least so far as regards the domestic and private part of it. Hume appears rather as the apologist * Winwood's Memorials of State AflFairs, &c. ; Weldon's Court and Character of King James the First ; Osborn's Traditional Memoirs of King James the First ; Wilson's History of the Life and Reign of James the First ; Welwood's Notes on Wilson ; Sully's Memoirs ; The Cabala ; Nugae Antiquse ; Nichols's Progresses ; Baker's Chronicle ; Burnet's History ; Miscellaneous State Papers ; Harris's Life and Writings of King James ; Annals of James the First and Charles the First ; Oldys's Life of Raleigh ; Howell's State Papers, &c. ; Rush- worth's Collections ; GifTord's Life of Ben Jonson ; Buck's Life of Henry Prince of Wales ; Saunderson's Reign of King James the First ; Sir Egerton Brydges's Memoirs of the Peers during the Reign of King James ; Biographia Britannica ; Granger's Biography ; Park's edition of Walpole's Royal and Noble Authors ; Seward's Anecdotes ; Lucy Aikin's Memoirs of the Court of King James the First ; D'Israeli's Character of King James the First; Von Raumer's History of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries ; and other writers. t Most of the calumnies advanced against this King" have been refuted by Osborn, Sir Richard Baker, D'Israeli, and other writers ; many of them, indeed, refute themselves, such as the Queen's publicly " Von Raumer's History of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, vol. ii. p. 190. b XVm INTRODUCTION. than the vindicator of the character of this tranquil and peace-loving King ; he has not, however, sacrificed his veracity as an historian by a perversion and misstatement of facts. Many instances of this monarch's liberality and fondness for the arts and literature are deducible from the following pages, which may be offered as palliatives for some of the more grievous faults with which this King has been charged. It therefore may not be deemed irrelevant here to endeavour to adduce a confirmation of some of those acts of filial and paternal solicitude with which even his enemies must allow this sovereign to have been endowed. accusing the King of drunkenness,^ of her encouraging Buckingham'' as a favourite to pander for the vices of her husband, of corrupting the spirit and disposition of her own son Prince Henry," &c. It is difficult, Bay almost impossible, to form any correct opinion or estimate of cha- racter from such conflicting accounts. The summary of the character of this King by Sir Richard Baker, as opposed to that given by Von Raumer, is added as a specimen for the guidance of the curious upon speculations of this nature : the former writer was contemporary vrith this monarch, and therefore had at least as good an opportunity of forming a correct judgment as the latter. After speaking in general praise of the King, Sir Richard adds, — " Of all the moral virtues, he " was eminent for chastity. And now to express his character in a " word, which worthily might be matter for many volumes, — he was " to his wife a most loyal husband, to his children a most lovino- "father, to his servants a most bountiful master, to his subjects a " most just Prince, to all Princes near him a most peaceable neigh- " hour; that more justly it may be said of him than of whom it was said, " Qua te tarn lata tulerunt scecula ? A Prince after Plato's own " heart for his learning, and, which is infinitely more worth, after " God's own heart for his religiousness and piety."" " Von Raumer, p. 210. ' Ibid. p. 209. " Ibid. p. 234. 1 Baker's Chronicle, p. 427, Edit. 1733. INTRODUCTION. XIX We find that neai'ly one of the first acts of this monarch on his coming to the crown of England was the discharge of the filial and pious duty of directing the remains of his mother, the ill-fated Mary Queen of Scots, to be removed from Peterborough,* and buried, with the pomp suitable to her dignity, in Westminster Abbey -.1 we have here the charges for placing an elegant and a splendid tomb over her remains. It is but justice to add, that this King paid a similar mark of respect to the memory of his pi-edecessor Queen Elizabeth,:); by erecting a costly tomb§ to her honour, though himself and his mother, Mary Queen of Scots, during the former Queen's lifetime, had certainly received no very great marks of her kindness. How far the haughty and imperious Elizabeth (could she have been conscious of the fact) would have approved the removal of the bones of her great rival so near her own, is a subject for specu- lation amongst the admirers of her character. The King is also here stated to have been no less kind to his ill-fated relative, the Lady Arbella Stuart, by allowing her out of his own revenue 800/. per annum.|| It appears that this lady, being of the blood royal, and nearly related to the King, had committed one of the greatest political crimes of the age, by marrying and absconding with William Seymour,11 an inferior to her in birth, for the apprehension of whom proclamations were issued. The Lady Arbella experienced the kindest treatment from King James, who committed her to the custody of Sir Thomas Parry,** to be taken to Durham, under the * Page 151. § Pages 21, 22. + Pages 35, 50, 75, 100, 168, II Page 6. 190, 320. f Page 140. t Page 3. ** Page 121. b2 XX INTRODUCTION. direction of the good Bishop of that see:* overwhelmed with her misfortunes, and worn out with sickness, she never reached her destination, though every indulgence was granted her as a state prisoner.f When we com- pare the conduct of King James to the Lady Arbella with that of Queen Elizabeth to Mary Queen of Scots, whilst a state prisoner, the conclusion cannot be very favourable to the Maiden Queen. As to his children, throughout this volume will be found instances of the King's unceasing parental solicitude for their comfort, advancement, and education ; the first mas- ters and artists appear to have been constantly attendant upon them, and the short life of Prince Henry was spent in a school of prowess and an academy of literature. That the natural bent of the inclinations of his children was not checked (though they might not be in accordance with his own), we may learn from the King permitting Prince Henry to indulge in martial exercises and pursuits ; as we find that, when this Prince wished to n ake a present to the Duke of Brunswick, he selected for the purpose a suit of gilt armour.| Though such a present might not be in unison with the King's inclination, or his usual practice on such occasions, as he probably would have sent horses,§ hounds, hawks, cormorants, or something of a like nature, yet indications of martial propensities may be here traced as well in the father as the son, for we find the King rewarding Ulrick Nest]ey,|| the inventor of a warlike machine, with a handsome donation. Of the King's general liberality, and even profuseness, * Page 128. % Pages 160, 173. t D'Israeli, Curiosities of Litera- § Pages 43, 170. ture, vol. i. p. 276 (New Series). |1 Page 217. INTRODUCTION. XXI much may be here collected from the munificent presents he made to the foreign and domestic ambassadors, to his Queen, children, ofl&cers of state, and nobility, the amount of which alone in this small volume exceeds 150,000/. Osborn and D'Israeli have done much to rescue the King's character from the charge of a deficiency of gal- lantry to his Queen. This volume furnishes many acts of kindness and benevolence of the King to the Queen by the liberal presents he bestowed upon her, and in the entertainments he provided for her amusement, in which she appears to have delighted. In testimony of the King's affection and attention to his Queen, D'Israeli* has recently furnished the following anecdote, from an unpublished letter : viz. " The Queen, shooting at a \ [ deer, mistook her mark, and killed Jewell, the King's most special hound, at which he stormed exceedingly -< -< awhile, but, after he knew who did it, he was soon pacified, and with much kindness wished her not to be troubled with it, as he should love her never the worse, and the jiext day sent her a diamond worth 2,000/., as a legacy from Ms dead dog." This unquestionably was a mark of great marital indulgence, though at the same time an encouragement for her Majesty to kill the whole pack. The payment for this diamond has escaped the Editor's observation, though little doubt exists it may be found in the numerous entries of jewels mentioned in these Records as having been purchased by the King. In March, 1648, the Parliament ordered commissioners to be appointed to inventory the goods and personal estate of the late King, Queen, and Prince : this inventory forms a magnificent folio, of near 1,000 pages, bound in crimson * Curiosities of Literature, vol. iii. p. 118 (New Series). XXU INTRODUCTION. velvet, and richly gilt, written in a fair large hand, but made with little knowledge of the objects which the inventory writer describes. It is entitled " An Inventory of the Goods, Jewels, Plate, &c., belonging to King Charles the First, sold by order of the Council of State from the year 1649 to 1652."* Every article was appraised, and nothing sold under the affixed price; and, when the Council of State could not obtain the sum appraised, the gold and silver were sent to the Mint ; and assuredly many fine works of art were valued by the ounce: the appraise- ment was made far below the value, and the articles rarely sold for more than the price fixed. A curious list of these woz-ks of art might be here introduced, but which the limits of a preface will not admit. The Editor has been induced to notice this inventory from the conviction that the original price of many of these articles may be traced in the records now under consideration, together with the names of the artists and the circumstances under which they came into the possession of Charles the First, when Prince of Wales, and subsequently obtained by him after the death of his father. The picture of the great Venus and Pard by Titian, referred to in this volume as copied by Daniel Mittens t for King James the First, appears to have sold for 600/. ; and, with a few exceptions, the works of art seem to have been sold at very low prices. Some idea of the relative estimation in which the arts were held during the reigns of James and Charles, and in the succeeding troubled time of the Commonwealth, might be formed from a comparison of the respective prices given for the same * A duplicate of this Inventory, signed by the Commissioners, is preserved in the Auditor's Office of the Land Revenue. t Page 350. INTRODUCTION. XXIU article at these two periods. The insecurity of property during the usurpation doubtless was the cause of many works of art being taken out of the country. Amongst the payments for jewels herein noticed is 1,000/. for a diamond with the arms of the King engraved* thereon: this entry excited the anxiety of the Editor to discover the name of the sculptor who had carried the art to such perfection as to be able to engrave on diamond. From the above entry he hoped to be enabled to trace the remarkable history of the diamond seal, with the arms of England engraved upon it, which Herbert, in his ac- count of the last days of Charles the First, states was found in the court of Persia, in possession of the Sophi. This seal had been offered for sale by Tavernier, who described it as a most extraordinary rarity: how Ta- vernier became possessed of it has never yet been ascer- tained, though D'Israelif (who gives the whole story) sur- mises that it may yet be discovered in the treasures of the Persian monarch. Probably some account of it may be traced amongst the payments for the jewels entered in these Records. That both King James and King Charles were patrons of the arts, sciences, and literature in general, abundance of proof may be adduced from the payments contained in the Pell Records, but more particularly in the reign of the latter monarch. The Editor is, however, compelled to confine his observations to the period of the former sovereign only ; and selects from the following pages the names of some few eminent persons who were constantly in the service of the King, and receiving from him that * Page 180. t Curiosities of Literature, vol. iii. p. 382 (First Series).

INTRODUCTION. XXV inferred from the value and estimation in which their works were held, in confirmation of which many examples might be here adduced, even from the payment to Daniel Mittens, for his copy of Titian's Great Venus, to that for his portrait of Jeoffry Hudson,* the dwarf, which dwarf, for his Majesty's disport, is stated to have been served to him in a pie. The Editor, before he dismisses the subject connected with the literary men of this age, cannot resist venturing a conjecture connected with the name of Sir Thomas Wilson, keeper of the King's Records at Whitehall, who appears to have frequently visited Sir Walter Raleigh during his confinement in the Tower.f Hume remarks that men were struck with the extensive genius of Ra- leigh, who, being educated amidst naval and military en- terprises, had surpassed in the pursuits of literature even those of the most recluse and sedentary lives, and during his imprisonment had executed so great a work as his " History of the World." It is a well-known fact that Sir Walter Raleigh pursued his studies in chemistry with the Earl of Northumberland, the patron of the philoso- phers of his age ; that he was on terms of intimacy with Serjeant Hoskins, the poet and a wit, the poetical " father" of Ben Jonson ; with Thomas Hariot the philosopher, and with Doctor Robert Burnel his chaplain, who ren- dered him great assistance. May he not also have been much indebted to Sir Thomas Wilson, who in this volume * The admirers of Sir Walter Scott will recoguise in Jeoffry Hudson their little friend " Piccoluomini," whose imprisonments in the pie and in the violoncello are so inimitably related by the Author of Waverley, in his " Peveril of the Peak," chap. xvi. pi 341, and chap. v. p. 68.

XXVI INTRODUCTION. is described as keeper of his Majesty's Papers and Re- cords,* and is rewarded for translating, abridging, tran- scribing, and arranging the Burleigh historical collection at Whitehall,! and paid for his service to Sir Walter Raleigh in the Tower ? The astonishment of the contem- poraries of Raleigh, and the wonder and mystery attached to the compilation of his recondite History, in some degree vanish when we find him surrounded by eminent men of such varied talent, each of whom, in all probability, fur- nished his share of this extraordinary volume ; and Sir Thomas Wilson, from his historical knowledge, was emi- nently qualified to render Sir Walter assistance in his inquiries. The distinguished names of the ambassadors that came to the English Court on the accession of King James, enumerated in these Records, cannot fail to be interesting to the historian. From a careful observation of dates might be traced from this collection those powers who were most anxious to recognise and ofifer their congratulations to the King. The first here noticed to have arrived are the Constable of Castile J from Spain, and the Ambassador from the Archduke of Austria. It was found impossible to extract all the payments made for each ambassador, otherwise a perfect list might have been formed, with the respective dates of the arrival and departure of each, which would have supplied the names of those deficient in the lists furnished by historians of this period. In consequence of the number of foreign Princes and the long train of ambassadors thus resorting to the English court from every European power, King James found it * Page 243. % Page 16. •i- Page 307.

Sir Lewis Lewknor* was the first person admitted into this office, ably assisted by Sir John Finnett,-!" who succeeded him as master of the ceremonies under Charles the First. To Sir John Finnett:]; we are indebted for that rare volume, the " Finetti Philoxenis," published after the authox-'s death, by his friend James Howell, the well-known historical writer, and subsequently analyzed by 01dys,§ who informs us that it contains the reception, precedence, audience, and punctilios attendant upon the visits of all foreign Princes and ambassadors (most of whom are noticed in these Records), "even to defining whether the first place of an inferior degree be worse than the last of a superior." Frequent proof is here to be found of King James's attachment to an Arcadian life, and the amusements of hunting, hawking, fishing, and other sports of the field, pursued to an extent which fully warrants the ridicule attached to this part of the King's character by that entertaining biographer.

Neither can he be entirely acquitted of in- dulging a pi'opensity to lavishness in his taste for buildings, as his expenditure at Theobalds, Westminster, and Windsor, and in laying out his parks and grounds there, testify ; but when it is considered that these pur-: suits in themselves are innocent, and, on referring to the pages of this volume, the names of eminent artists appear, displaying the most exquisite taste in forming designs for fountains, baths,* orangeries, and other works of art, which were the delight of his Queen, the severity of cri- ticism ought in some measure to abate. There is cei-tainly something mystei'ious in the conduct of King James to that arch rebel the Earl of Tyrone, whose pardon had nearly broken the proud heart of Queen Elizabeth. King James's proclamation, com- manding all persons to treat this Irish rebel with civility, roused the indignation of Sir John Harrington.f which he vented in the bitterest terms, in a letter to Dr. Still, Bishop of Bath and Wells : how would Sir John's indig- nation have been increased had he inspected the Pell Records, where he would have found this monarch extending his indulgence to the Earl's son, Con 0'Neale,J by generously paying for his education at Eton College? The before-mentioned kw historical facts have been cited to show the capability of the contents of this volume being applied to their illustration. The Editor is con- vinced that there is scarcely a page from which bioora- phical or historical anecdotes may not be elicited by persons conversant with and fond of historical pursuits. * Page 328. t Aikin's Memoirs of King James, vol.

XXIX At the same time that he offers an apology for having so far trespassed on the patience and indulgence of the reader, he hopes that this his humble attempt will operate as an inducement for more able hands to make selections illustrative of passages in history as yet but imperfectly known. The Editor cannot close this Introduction without again making his grateful acknowledgments to Sir John New- port for the uniform kindness and encouragement he has received from him throughout this and his former volume. He also feels much pleasure in bearing testimony to Sir John's zeal and desire to make the Records in his custody generally known; this patriotic ardour has been further evinced by his permitting the Society of Antiquaries to publish the Norman Pipe Roll of the reign of Richard the First, an account of which Roll is given by the Editor in the Introduction* to his first volume of these Records. The Editor has also received the Comptroller's directions to prepare another volume of translations for the press, which is intended to be composed of a selection of those passages connected with history of a more rare and cu- rious nature, extending over an interval from the reign of Henry the Third to that of Edward the Fourth, which will, at an early period, be laid before the public. In the mean time he begs leave to offer his thanks to the officers of the establishment of the Comptroller's Office, from whom he has experienced much polite attention ; and also to his brother, Charles Devon, Esq., of the Chapter-house Record-office, from whom he has received much valuable assistance.
