Visitation of the County of Warwick 1619, by Sampson Lennard, Bluemantle, and Augustine Vincent, Rouge-Rose, Marshalls and Deputies for William Camden, Clarenceux. Almost entirely in the hand of Sampson Lennard, and first bound by him. With some additions by Henry Parker. This copy does not have the signatures of the gentlemen providing evidence of their descents, but appears to be transcribed from the original loose papers by Sampson Lennard, and the arms and seals tricked by the same painter who was at the Visitation. Marks of a cross or double cross in red chalk or black lead appear at the heads of some entries. See the printed catalogue of 1808 for a discussion of the relationship between this copy and the copy in the library of the College of Arms (Catalogue of the Harleian Manuscripts in the British Museum, vol. 1, p. 571).

- Common seal of the borough of Warwick (f. 60)
- Arms of the city of Coventry (f. 65)

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 (a fraction of their contemporary value) under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
