http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/318647185

Copies of documents illustrating many aspects of the administration of the laws and customs governing swan-keeping in various parts of England. Of these, two relate to Somerset and were signed by Thomas, lord Buckhurst, master of the Swans (leaves 2 and 7v, one dated 1587). The order for swans (leaf 4) was published ca. 1575 (STC 8149). The ordinance (leaf 6), headed "Imprinted", is similar to STC 9342.2, ca. 1550.
