Transcript

108 Lexham Gardens, Kensington, W.
Feb. 2. 1904.

Since I first wrote to you I am rather puzzled by my inability to find in the Capell Catalogue any reference to John Soowthern’s Pandora—the Musique of the Beautie of his Mistresse Diana, 1584, of which a perfect copy is at Britwell, and copies without the title page—the only others apparently known—are, it is usually stated, at the Brit. Mus. and in the Capell collection. Ritson, according to Heber’s Catalogue, described the Capell copy. Heber also speaks of the copy, and so does Corser. It is rather puzzling to find no trace of it in the new catalogue. I know the Museum imperfect copy, which once belonged to Steevens.

I believe there is only one other copy known of Thomas Watson’s “Ould facioned loue &c.” I recently examined it in Sion College Library.

Sidney Lee.

[Direction:] Dr Aldis Wright, | Trinity College, | Cambridge.
