Lansdowne MS 737/7

7. "Extracts out of an original book of accounts in folio, written in the time of Henry the VIIIth, and at the end of every month signed by his own hand; being the accounts of. . . . . . .who was his Privy-purse, begining on the 17^th day of November in the 20^th year of his reign, which book I, Peter Le Neve Norroy, bought of. . . . .Wynde, Esq." There followed a few more words, since blotted with a pen and ink, part of which seems to have been, "and sold it for the same price to the Right Honorable Lord Harley." fo. 126. Mr. Le Neve adds that it belonged to Sir Orlando Bridgeman, Knight, Lord Keeper, and had his handwriting at the beginning. These accounts are extremely curious for manners, and, with those of Hen. VII. preserved in the Exchequer at Westminster, and a few others still remaining, would form an interesting addition to the Expences of Edw. I. already published by the Society of Antiquaries.
