Description

It is a notes book. In the third volume of Mr. Collier's valuable History of Dramatic Poetry is the following passage, which forms part of a note. 'Mr. Thorpe, the enterprising bookseller of Bedford Street, is in possession of a MS. full of songs and poems, in the handwriting of a person of the name of Richard Jackson, all copied prior to the year 1631, and including many unpublished pieces, by a variety of celebrated poets. One of the most curious is a song in five seven-line stanzas, thus headed 'Shakspeare's rime, which he made at the Mytre in Fleete Streete'. It begins 'From the rich Lavinian shore;' and some few of the lines were published by Playford, and set as a catch'. In Mr. Thoms' Anecdotes and Traditions (published by the Camden Society) is a story of the celebrated Dr. John Wilson, to which the editor has appended an interesting note, adding.
