Scope & Content:

LIFE of George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle; by his physician, Thomas Skynner, M.D. From the title-page (f. 3), and from the spaces left for the insertion of portraits (ff. 2 b, 73, 100, 105, 109), this seems to be a fair copy written out for the press ; but the work was not published until 1723, when it was edited by William Webster from Skynner's original MS. It appears to have been composed between 1678 and 1685 (see two letters from the author to Dr. Sam. Barrow in Egerton MS. 2618, ff. 136, 138, and the allusion to Charles II. as "his present Majesty" at f. 13 b of the present MS.). Paper; ff. 115. Late XVIIth cent. Bound in red morocco, very richly tooled. Bookplate, with arms (f 1 b), of James [Brydges], Earl of Carnarvon [1714, cr. Marquis of Carnarvon and Duke of Chandos, 1729]. On the inside of the cover is also the bookplate, with arms, of his grandson, James, Marquis of Carnarvon [1744-1771, succ. as 3rd Duke of Chandos, 1771]; but the volume appears to have been sold with the 1st Duke's library in Mar. 1747 (Catalogue, No. 2575). Folio.
