[Commonplace book], 1693-1715.

Manuscript, in multiple hands, of a collection of about 76 religious, satirical, or patriotic Latin and English poems. While the subjects of the poems in Latin range from the inauguration of William and Mary to Smithfield Fair to the New Testament, the English poems are primarily satirical, with such titles as To the unknown author of A Lampoon; For the consolation of the poor and diversion of the rich in imitation of Milton; and Prologue to the music speech at Oxford, 1693. The volume also contains a copy of a letter from Timothy Burrell, "the counsellor to Mr Courthope," dated 1715, which refers to the recommendation of Tattersall to a living; a statement against popery; and a collection of medicinal and household recipes. Dos-a-dos, a title page to a work on philosophy, on which is written, "Ex Libris Joh: Tattersall Coll: Jes: Apud Cant: Alumnius. Mar: 14, 1693/4." The title page is followed by one page, in Latin, of this work.
