The first page inscribed The Book belongeth to Jⁿ Campbelly [i.e. John Campbell] Janwarie: 3: 1657 in a hand probably responsible for a couplet on p. 110. The volume may have belonged originally to Sir John Campbell, tenth Laird of Glenorchy (d.1686), and evidently owned by his son, John Campbell (1635-1717), first Earl of Breadalbane, one of the most powerful of the Highland chiefs, who on 17 December 1657 married Lady Mary Rich (grand-daughter of Penelope Rich, Sidney's Stella; Lady Mary's father being Henry, first Earl of Holland who was executed by Parliament in 1649). The Earls of Breadalbane were also related to Waller's friend, Lady Isabella Thynne. Later owned, in 1927, by John Grant Jr, and in 1934 by Roswell G. Ham (1891-1983), scholar.

MS alterations to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688]. The volume was owned in 1893 by Mr Waller, of Farmington Lodge, Northleach.

Copy, with an alteration in another hand.

On pp. 1-3, in the hand of the main scribe, is a prose dedication To the Queene [Henrietta Maria] and, on pp. 147-9, another To my Lady Sophia [Bartie—ye earle of Linseys Daughter added in another hand], and four poems by other writers added in yet another hand on pp. 122-46.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688]. The volume was owned in 1893 by Mr Waller, of Farmington Lodge, Northleach.

MS alterations to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688].

MS alteration to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743.

The first page inscribed The Book belongeth to Jⁿ Campbelly [i.e. John Campbell] Janwarie: 3: 1657 in a hand probably responsible for a couplet on p. 110. The volume may have belonged originally to Sir John Campbell, tenth Laird of Glenorchy (d.1686), and evidently owned by his son, John Campbell (1635-1717), first Earl of Breadalbane, one of the most powerful of the Highland chiefs, who on 17 December 1657 married Lady Mary Rich (grand-daughter of Penelope Rich, Sidney's Stella; Lady Mary's father being Henry, first Earl of Holland who was executed by Parliament in 1649). The Earls of Breadalbane were also related to Waller's friend, Lady Isabella Thynne. Later owned, in 1927, by John Grant Jr, and in 1934 by Roswell G. Ham (1891-1983), scholar. Bearing an early pressmark and sold at some time by Sanders & Co., Oxford. Formerly MS Vault Sect. 10, Drawer 3, Waller Poems.

Including 27 poems by Cowley; eleven poems by Katherine Philips, evidently derived from printed sources; 10 poems by Rochester, as well as apocryphal items; twelve poems by Sedley, plus one of doubtful authorship; and 15 poems by Waller, evidently derived from printed sources.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S.

In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688].

MS alterations to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

This volume discovered, and announced in the TLS, 23 July 2010, pp. 14-15, by June Schlueter and Paul Schlueter.

Copy, untitled.

On pp. 1-3, in the hand of the main scribe, is a prose dedication To the Queene [Henrietta Maria] and, on pp. 147-9, another To my Lady Sophia [Bartie—ye earle of Linseys Daughter added in another hand], and four poems by other writers added in yet another hand on pp. 122-46.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688]. The volume was owned in 1893 by Mr Waller, of Farmington Lodge, Northleach.

Cited in IELM, II.ii, as the Hazlitt MS: WaE Δ 4. Recorded in Thorn-Drury and the dedication To the Queene printed (I, vi-vii).

Copy, headed In Answer to a Libell against her.

MS alterations to the printed text and comments.

The volume briefly described in H.C. Beeching, Francis Atterbury (1909), pp. 227-31.

Extensive MS alterations to the printed text, with an inserted slip containing six lines in MS beginning Tho' Ceres' child co^d. not avoide the Rape to be inserted after line 12, subscribed P.N. and Antient Ms [i.e. these lines derived from Philip Neve's separate MS: see Introduction].

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

On pp. 1-3, in the hand of the main scribe, is a prose dedication To the Queene [Henrietta Maria] and, on pp. 147-9, another To my Lady Sophia [Bartie—ye earle of Linseys Daughter added in another hand], and four poems by other writers added in yet another hand on pp. 122-46.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688]. The volume was owned in 1893 by Mr Waller, of Farmington Lodge, Northleach.

The volume may have belonged originally to Sir John Campbell, tenth Laird of Glenorchy (d.1686), and evidently owned by his son, John Campbell (1635-1717), first Earl of Breadalbane, one of the most powerful of the Highland chiefs, who on 17 December 1657 married Lady Mary Rich (grand-daughter of Penelope Rich, Sidney's Stella; Lady Mary's father being Henry, first Earl of Holland who was executed by Parliament in 1649). The Earls of Breadalbane were also related to Waller's friend, Lady Isabella Thynne. Later owned, in 1927, by John Grant Jr, and in 1934 by Roswell G. Ham (1891-1983), scholar.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

MS alterations to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

Various commissioned officers named Robinson are recorded in Charles Dalton, English Army Lists and Commission Registers, 1661-1714 (6 vols, London, 1892-1904): see esp. I, 276. The volume was most probably owned by Charles Robinson of the King's Regiment of Foot Guards, who became Captain and then Lieutenant-Colonel in 1688 and was killed at Namur in 1695. A member of the same regiment in 1684 was the purveyor of MS lampoons Captain Lenthal Warcup. The Captain Eloass mentioned in one inscription was possibly William Elwes, who served as a Lieutenant in Viscount Colchester's Regiment of Horse, c.1692-4, and as a Captain in Lord Windsor's Regiment of Horse in 1702.

On pp. 1-3, in the hand of the main scribe, is a prose dedication To the Queene [Henrietta Maria] and, on pp. 147-9, another To my Lady Sophia [Bartie—ye earle of Linseys Daughter added in another hand], and four poems by other writers added in yet another hand on pp. 122-46.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688]. The volume was owned in 1893 by Mr Waller, of Farmington Lodge, Northleach.

Copy.

The first page inscribed The Book belongeth to Jⁿ Campbelly [i.e. John Campbell] Janwarie: 3: 1657 in a hand probably responsible for a couplet on p. 110. The volume may have belonged originally to Sir John Campbell, tenth Laird of Glenorchy (d.1686), and evidently owned by his son, John Campbell (1635-1717), first Earl of Breadalbane, one of the most powerful of the Highland chiefs, who on 17 December 1657 married Lady Mary Rich (grand-daughter of Penelope Rich, Sidney's Stella; Lady Mary's father being Henry, first Earl of Holland who was executed by Parliament in 1649). The Earls of Breadalbane were also related to Waller's friend, Lady Isabella Thynne. Later owned, in 1927, by John Grant Jr, and in 1934 by Roswell G. Ham (1891-1983), scholar. Bearing an early pressmark and sold at some time by Sanders & Co., Oxford. Formerly MS Vault Sect. 10, Drawer 3, Waller Poems.

Including 27 poems by Cowley; eleven poems by Katherine Philips, evidently derived from printed sources; 10 poems by Rochester, as well as apocryphal items; twelve poems by Sedley, plus one of doubtful authorship; and 15 poems by Waller, evidently derived from printed sources.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.

MS alterations to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

The volume may have belonged originally to Sir John Campbell, tenth Laird of Glenorchy (d.1686), and evidently owned by his son, John Campbell (1635-1717), first Earl of Breadalbane, one of the most powerful of the Highland chiefs, who on 17 December 1657 married Lady Mary Rich (grand-daughter of Penelope Rich, Sidney's Stella; Lady Mary's father being Henry, first Earl of Holland who was executed by Parliament in 1649). The Earls of Breadalbane were also related to Waller's friend, Lady Isabella Thynne. Later owned, in 1927, by John Grant Jr, and in 1934 by Roswell G. Ham (1891-1983), scholar. Bearing an early pressmark and sold at some time by Sanders & Co., Oxford. Formerly MS Vault Sect. 10, Drawer 3, Waller Poems.

This volume discovered, and announced in the TLS, 23 July 2010, pp. 14-15, by June Schlueter and Paul Schlueter.

Copy.

On pp. 1-3, in the hand of the main scribe, is a prose dedication To the Queene [Henrietta Maria] and, on pp. 147-9, another To my Lady Sophia [Bartie—ye earle of Linseys Daughter added in another hand], and four poems by other writers added in yet another hand on pp. 122-46.

The volume purchased by a later member of the Waller family, in 1868, from the London bookseller F.S. Ellis, who notes in an enclosed letter (dated 20 August 1868) that he bought it from William Carew Hazlitt (1834-1813), bibliographer and writer, who had bought it in a miscellaneous sale of books & furniture at Robinson's Rooms in Bond St. some eight or ten years since. In another enclosed letter (dated 3 August 1868) Ellis expresses the wholly erroneous view that some of the corrections are his [Waller's]… and …the whole was written under his eye — the writing is certainly identical with that of the dedication in the volume of his poems in the British Museum, addressed to the Duchess of York [WaE 610, WaE 688]. The volume was owned in 1893 by Mr Waller, of Farmington Lodge, Northleach.

Cited in IELM, II.ii, as the Hazlitt MS: WaE Δ 4. Recorded in Thorn-Drury and the dedication To the Queene printed (I, vi-vii).

The volume briefly described in H.C. Beeching, Francis Atterbury (1909), pp. 227-31.

MS alterations to the printed text, with seven additional lines written on an inserted slip.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

A few MS alterations to the printed text and comments.

The volume briefly described in H.C. Beeching, Francis Atterbury (1909), pp. 227-31.

MS alteration to the printed text.

Exemplum of the Fifth edition of Waller's Poems (8°: London, 1686) extensively annotated in MS throughout by P.N. [i.e. Philip Neve], who records in a MS preface dated July 1788 that his notes (to p. 238) that are written in the same hand as the 3 following pages are transcribed from B[isho]p Atterbury's Copy [i.e. that of Francis Atterbury (1662-1732), Bishop of Rochester] who wrote with Waller's MS before him, as appears at p. 230 (see WaE 371). The B[isho]p either made his Remarks in a Copy of the 3d. Edition, published in 1668 — or the MS he consulted was what Waller had corrected for that Edition — as the Notes &c. go to the very page where that Edition ends. How far in his Alterations Atterbury followed the MS it is fruitless to enquire — very improbably throughout. The notes record variant readings and alterations for 53 poems in the volume (each of which is given a separate entry below). A selection of these MS readings is listed in Deas, pp. 321-4.

The volume with Atterbury's notes and emendations that are copied here can be identified as that in Westminster Abbey (CB 67).

At the end of the volume (on pp. 307-10) are MS copies by Neve of two further poems by Waller [see WaE 417, WaE 780-1] transcribed from an independent [and now unlocated] very antient Ms which contains most of Waller's other Pieces, written before 1645, tho' none afterwards, as well as poems by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Sir John Suckling and Thomas Carew, and this Ancient Ms is also cited as the source for some MS lines and alterations inserted by Neve in the printed text of poems on pp. 27-8 and 30-3. Neve records three poems by Waller from the same source in his Cursory Remarks on some of the Antient English Poets, particularly Milton (London, 1789), pp. 70-2 [see WaE 103, WaE 532, WaE 780-1]. It is possibly from this source that Neve also derived the text of a few hitherto unprinted Verses of Waller which he sent to George Steevens on 14 April 1789, as is witnessed by his accompanying letter of that date in the Folger (MS C. b. 10(116)). For one other, unrelated, MS of the 17th-century verse once owned by Neve, see DnJ Δ 33.

Cited in IELM, II.ii (1993) as the Atterbury-Neve volume: WaE Δ 15. For Neve's alterations in the accompanying exemplum of The Seconde Part of Mr. Waller's Poems (London, 1690), see WaE 377. NB. The preface printed in this edition was almost certainly written by Francis Atterbury. According to a MS note by the publisher Jacob Tonson in an unlocated exemplum last recorded in 1891, Atterbury was also responsible for printing the poems published for Tonson in The Maid's Tragedy Altered. With some other Pieces by Edmund Waller (London, 1690), his source being a Manuscript Copy of them borrowed by Atterbury of Dr. Birch [i.e. Dr Peter Birch (1652?-1710), Chaplain to the House of Commons, who married Waller's daughter Mary]: see Thorn-Drury, II, 150-1; a note by J.T.Y. in N&Q, 7th Ser. 11 (4 April 1891), 266-7; and also Life (1711), p. xl.

Folkestone Williams further records that Atterbury used an exemplum of the Third edition of Waller's Poems (1668), probably during his college career, containing numerous corrections by him and that Atterbury compiled a collection of select passages [from Waller] still in his handwriting (Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Atterbury, D.D., 2 vols (London, 1869), I, 48). For other evidence of Atterbury's association with Waller, see WaE Δ 6.

Copy.

The first page inscribed The Book belongeth to Jⁿ Campbelly [i.e. John Campbell] Janwarie: 3: 1657 in a hand probably responsible for a couplet on p. 110. The volume may have belonged originally to Sir John Campbell, tenth Laird of Glenorchy (d.1686), and evidently owned by his son, John Campbell (1635-1717), first Earl of Breadalbane, one of the most powerful of the Highland chiefs, who on 17 December 1657 married Lady Mary Rich (grand-daughter of Penelope Rich, Sidney's Stella; Lady Mary's father being Henry, first Earl of Holland who was executed by Parliament in 1649). The Earls of Breadalbane were also related to Waller's friend, Lady Isabella Thynne. Later owned, in 1927, by John Grant Jr, and in 1934 by Roswell G. Ham (1891-1983), scholar. Bearing an early pressmark and sold at some time by Sanders & Co., Oxford. Formerly MS Vault Sect. 10, Drawer 3, Waller Poems.

The MS exhibited at the Bodleian Library, 16-28 June 1930: see Proceedings & Papers of the Oxford Bibliographical Society, 2 (1927-30), p. 213. Cited in IELM, II.i (1993) as the Breadalbane MS: WaE Δ 5.

Copy, headed On his Isabella playing on a Lute.

Including 27 poems by Cowley; eleven poems by Katherine Philips, evidently derived from printed sources; 10 poems by Rochester, as well as apocryphal items; twelve poems by Sedley, plus one of doubtful authorship; and 15 poems by Waller, evidently derived from printed sources.

A note on a flyleaf relating to the bookseller John Dunton (1659-1733): John Dunton His Book, for which Mr. Corbet at y^e Addisons Head, accepted One Half Guinea in full Payment for it, as Witness my Hand, Hannah Rakley. A note on f. 1: Since I had transcrib'd this whole Book, I met with some state Poems of these later times, mostly since K. George's Accession to the Crown [1714] which I have here inserted, as a supplement to these state Poems which make a part of this Collection by themselves. Date at the end of the volume: 1718, and some notes on a flyleaf dated 1724.

The M^r. Corbet from whom Dunton purchased this MS was evidently the bookseller Thomas Corbett (fl. 1705-43), who ran his business at the Addison's Head, next to the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, from 1719 until his death in 1743. Neither Dunton nor Corbett are known to have used this MS for publication purposes.
