Title:

Notes on Yorkshire families, extracted by Mr Jennyngs

Scope & Content:

Folio manuscript volume which appears to be part of a larger work of Mr Jennyngs, extracted from the collections of Roger Dodsworth (1585-1654). Consists of notes on Yorkshire families, with some genealogical tables, entered in alphabetical order A-G. Some entries apart from name heading (for example, ff. 103-105).

Volume includes an apparently unrelated Latin encomium to Daniel King, engraver, by Samuel Rutter (ff. 101-102).

Note at front of volume recording the loan of three volumes of Antiquities of Yorkshire from Edward Stillingfleet, former owner of this volume, to N. Johnston.

The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (1661-1724), 1st earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (1689-1741), 2nd earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts.

Edward Harley bequeathed the library to his widow, Henrietta Cavendish, née Holles (1694-1755) during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (1715-1785), duchess of Portland; the manuscripts were sold by the Countess and the Duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
