'THE REALL STATVIT mathematicall of the pyse and ballance . . . with questyons practicall answered for ye newe beginners and for ye dottid fooles which never knewe nvmber waight nor measure, wherin ore kings was decevyd and cossynid with pyse and lyne millions in the yeare', &c., by 'John Movntfenell, baron of ye county of Denbige, lord of Dutton of ye county balantyn of Chester': a rambling treatise on mensuration, with coloured drawings. At the end are (f. 91 b) 'a plattforme for reducinge of Irland to great quyetnes', by settlement of English gentry there, and (f. 94) a pedigree of James I from William the Conqueror, with note on his descent from Macbeth. In the prefatory letter to the King are accusations against the King's surveyors. The author, whose complete sanity may be doubted, also calls himself 'John Rossindall, lord Baron of Brin Fanickle, in English of Mount Fenell, of the county of Denbighe and lord of all the manors of Dutten', &c., and was probably of the family of Lloyd (formerly Rossendale, see Cathrall's Hist. of N. Wales, 1828, ii, p. 157), settled at Henllan, co. Denb. Possibly he was John Lloyd, eldest son of Fowk Lloyd Rossandall, sheriff of Denbigh in 1555 and 1568 (see Dunn's Heraldic Visitations of Wales, ii, pp. 332, 333). Brynn Fanigle is in Abergele, not far from Henllan. Paper; ff. 100. Folio. 14 in. x 81/4 in. Temp. Jas. I. Not in the old catalogues.
