http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702174955

Album containing a collection of early 18th century manuscript verse, mainly on contemporary political topics. There are several poems on the Nonjuring controversy; on events during the reign of Queen Anne; and against Louis XIV and on the Triple Alliance. Titles included "The Church in No Danger;" "A Ballad on the French King's Marriage to Madame Maintenon;" "On a Certain Knights Appearing on a late occasion [Sir Thomas Abney at Queen Anne's funeral];" and "The British Ambassadress's Speech to the French King." Nearly all are docketed with short titles; several of them also contain contemporary attributions and explanatory notes. The volume also contains a printed broadside of a Latin poem, "In Laudem Musices Carmen Sapphicum;" a manuscript Latin prose oration; and a late 16th century elegy on the death of Sir Thomas Scott of Scott Hall, commander of the Kent forces at the time of the Spanish Armada.
