A Miscellaneous Volume, in folio: containing, 1. " P. Virgilii Maronis Æneidos Liber Quartus Britannico sermoni donatus per Comitem S." fol. 1.
This, with the Translation of the First Book of Virgil's Æneis, is considered as the earliest specimen of blank Verse in the English Language. The two were printed together by Tottell in 1557. Of the original Edition very few Copies are now extant: but it was reprinted in fac simile by a Member of the Roxburgh Club in 1814. This Manuscript of the Fourth Book differs materially in its Readings from the printed Work; and often for the better.
2. The Tragedy of Gismund of Salearne. fol. 9. This is likewise in print: though with considerable Variations. It was published under the Title of " The Tragedie of Tancred and Gismund. "Compiled by the Gentlemen of the Inner Temple, and by them presented "before Her Majestie. Newly revived and polished according to the de- "corum of these daies. By R. W." 4to. Lond. 1592. A Copy of the printed edition, imperfect, is in the Garrick Collection in the British Museum.
