247 DOCUMENTS, LETTERS, and PAPERS of the FAMILIES OF EYRE OF DERBYSHIRE and BERKSHIRE,

subsequently marrying into and taking the name OF

Archer of Essex ; Coke of Norfolk ; Heveningham of Suffolk ; Newton of Barr's Court Gloucestershire, AND of Lincolnshire ; Atkyns of Gloucestershire, merged into the Family of Wright op Oxford, sub- sequently Atkyns Wright of Norfolk ; Windham of Norfolk ; &c. from the reign of Henry II to recent times.

\* This mass of Documents and Papers is contained in eight large packing cases, and weighs by estimate, ten to fifteen hundred weight. At present the collections are in a state of disorder and confusion; but to any person having room to sort them, and time to devote to their arrangement, they would, it is confidently believed, prove not only a source of amusement, but of profit, from the sale of such as he might not care to keep.

From the Papers examined, the above appear to be the leading names and counties to which they relate ; but there is reason to believe that many others would be found, and of interest, to the present representatives of the families. The following are the results of a very cursory examination of a small portion of them : —

The Letters of the family of Eyre, of Derbyshire and Berkshire, engrafted upon and taking that of Archer of Essex, comprise papers of the Archer family, among which are some original works of William Bagshaw, known as ^Hhe Apostle of the Peak J ^ A series of original Letters of the eminently pious Dr. Woodward, one of the founders of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, addressed to Lady Archer of Coopersale, Essex. Letters of the Curzon family ; and a Funeral Sermon on Lady Curzon.

The Coke Papers contain the original Warrant directed to the Lord Chief Justice Coke to enquire into the Charges against Francis Lord Bacon^ signed hy King James I. Latin Verses written by Lord Chief Justice Coke during his im- prisonment in the Tower, with corrections in his own hand. A series of Letters from Thomas Coke when on his Travels, addressed to his maternal grandfather and guardian, Sir John Newtown. Thomas Coke was accompanied by David Wilkins, the celebrated Saxon Scholar, as travelling tutor, two of whose Letters have been discovered, and there is reason to believe others will be found : some of these Letters relate to the clandestine marriage of Ann Coke, sister of Thomas, to Philip Roberts. There are also Letters of Anne Lady Walpole, the Duke of Leeds, &c.

The Heveningham Papers relate to the family of William Heveningham of Suffolk, the Regicide, whose widow was

imprisoned in the Tower; and the Letters develope a curious Court intrigue for the marriage of her son, evidently with a view to securing the family estate to a favoured courtier. He was married to the daughter of the Earl of Dover, and appears to have thus become possessed of Papers relating to the Kentish families of Lovelace and Molyneux, which are comprised in the collection ; as also several relating to the estates of Egerton, Lord Ellesmere in that county. There is also a series of Amatory Epistles from Charles Cornwallis to Lady Mary Heveningham, at Tinmouth Castle, Northum- berland ; and Letters of Isaac Vossius, in English, relating to an estate at Datchett bequeathed to him by Dr. Brown.

The Newtown Papers commence with the Restoration of Charles II, and extend to about 1740. They are very volu- minous, and contain a few Papers relating to the Revolution in 1688.

The Atkyns family appears to be that of the Gloucestershire Topographer, subsequently merged into that of Wright of Oxford, and afterwards taking the double name Atkyns Wright, recently of Nerfolk.

The Windham Papers comprise numerous documents relating to the Royal Navy in the middle of the last century, during the period Commodore Charles Windham commanded the Duke ; and many of them have the signatures of eminent persons, as Lord Anson, &c.

The Parchment Documents have not been examined, but it is known that among them are several of interest and curiosity. It is proper to state that the Seals have been rudely torn off, but they are still preserved.

The first two are what are generally called block -prints^ and are evidently very early : the third, from the neatness of the engraving, is of a more recent period. A consideration of the number of the early Horse which occur with similar illustra- tions, leads to the supposition that the art of engraving, as applied to the embellishment of manuscripts and books, had its rise in the monasteries.
