Manuscript, in a single hand, of a collection of about 17 original songs, many of them love songs, written in an interleaved copy of Rider's British Merlin, 1698. Titles include "The Deceitful Lover," "The scolding wife," and "Beauty's advocate or the Charms of beauty." The manuscript also includes numerous memoranda and accounts of receipts, primarily relating to copying legal papers. A memorandum dated May 8 1721 mentions the Mayor having "given consent to the players to have the Moothall for playing in."
