Manuscript commonplace book of Thomas Trigg of Royston, dating from approximately 1785. This volume contains poetry and some prose from various writers including Shenstone, Pope, Catullus, Shakespeare, Ambrose Philips, Virgil, Dryden and Grainger's Life of Tibullus, among many others. Trigg notes his sources for many of these extracts, which include The Spectator, and various published miscellanies. Several entries are written in a hand different from, but contemporary to, Trigg's.
