 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 R. F. W. FAIRHOLT* 
 
 in the preface to his ex- 
 cellent book entitled Co/- 
 tume in Englandy* ftates 
 that " a knowledge of coftume is, in 
 fome degree infeparable from a 
 right knowledge of hiftory/* I am 
 fo entirely of that opinion that I ven- 
 ture to lay before the Members of 
 the Philobiblon Society an ancient 
 document which treats of no lefe a 
 matter than the coftume of a Queen 
 and of a Princefs. 
 
 A few years ago, by the retire- 
 
 ♦ Cojlume in England; a Hijiory of Drefs 
 from the earlieft period till the clofe of the i^th 
 century, F. W. Fairholt, F.A.S. London: 
 1846. 
 
4 IntroduSiion. 
 
 ment from adive life of an eminent 
 archaeologift, I became the pofleflbr 
 of a number of MS. documents, 
 among which I difcovered feveral 
 illuftrative of the domeftic manners 
 and habits of diftinguiflied perfon- 
 ages in the fixteenth and feventeenth 
 centuries. There is one in the feries 
 which is fo curious, and which is in 
 fo decayed a ftate that I think its 
 contents ought to be preferved while 
 the paper on which it is written ftill 
 holds together. There is no more 
 effedtual mode of attaining this ob- 
 je<9: than by placing it among the 
 mifcellaneous records of the Philo- 
 biblon Society. 
 
 The document in queftion is an 
 account of articles of drefs, &c. for 
 the ufe of Queen Ann Boleyn and 
 the infant princefs Elizabeth between 
 the XX January 1535 (27 Hen. VIII.) 
 to the xxvii April 1536, with the 
 addition of a few articles for the 
 
 ' I 
 
 IntroduSiion. 5 
 
 jefter Will. Sommers, furnifhed by 
 William Loke, 'Hhe King's Mercer r 
 
 This individual makes a confider- 
 able figure in the annals of the City 
 of London — he obtained the free- 
 dom of the Mercer's Company in 
 1^07, was made an Alderman, and 
 ferved for Sheriff in 1 548, but never 
 attained to the Mayoralty. He was 
 an efpecial favourite of Henry VIII. 
 who occafionally honoured him by 
 dining at his houfe, he being " the 
 King's Mercer." He was knighted, 
 and was afterwards entrufted with a 
 key of his Majefty's private chamber, 
 " to come to him when he would." 
 
 Sir William Loke died in 1550, 
 at his houfe in Bow-lane, and was 
 buried in the Mercers' Chapel in 
 Cheapfide. 
 
 There is one circumflance, how- 
 ever, connedled with Sir William 
 Loke's career which fheds more 
 luftre on his name than all the

 honours and favours beftowed on 
 him by Royalty. He was an anccf- 
 tor of the illuftrious philofopher 
 John Locke, who was the grandfon 
 of Michael Loke, brother of Sir 
 William, "the King's Mercer/' This 
 Michael laid claim to the credit of 
 originating Sir Martin Frobifher's 
 firft voyage for the difcovery of the 
 north-weft paffage to China, and of 
 fitting him out.
