INTRODUCTION.

The present Catalogue has been prepared in accordance with
a resolution of the Board of Governors of Dulwich College.
It consists of two parts. In the first are described the manu-
script volumes ' in the College Library, none of which were
included in the recently-published catalogue of the printed
books ; in the second, all the documents in the Muniment
Room bearing an earlier date than the death of the Founder
as well as a few others of particular interest selected from
those of a later period.

Several of the Manuscripts and the whole of thQ Muni-
ments except nos. 65-72 belonged to Edward Alleyn, the
actor. Founder of the College. The volumes numbered MSS.
i.-vi. and xviii. are made up of letters and separate papers of
all kinds, and their united contents are known as the ' Alleyn
Papers.' Under this general term they include not only all
that remains of Alleyn's own correspondence, but also that
of his wife's stepfather, Philip Henslowe, which presumably
came into his hands at the death of the latter in 1616. Apart
from their value as materials for the Founder's biography,
the extraordinary interest they possess in relation to the
early history of the English drama and stage has long been

not known to me until the Catalogue was printed. They will be found de-
scribed in an Appendix (p. 337).

recognised. In order that this special feature may be seen
to advantage, everything which serves to illustrate it has
accordingly been brought together in MS. i. In like manner
M.S. ii. contains the whole of the papers connected with the
sports of the Bear Garden. The other volumes which cer-
tainly belonged to Edward AUeyn are numbered MSS. vii.-xi.
They comprise the invaluable theatrical Diary of Philip
Henslowe, a Memorandum-Book and a Diary of Alleyn him-
self, the Register of Dulwich College from its foundation, and
a List of offices held under the Crown. Besides these, it is
probable from their nature that MSS. xix. and xx. also
formed part of the Founder's collection. The contents of
the rest of the MSS. need not be here particularised. How and
when some of them came to the College it is impossible
to say ; but several appear to have belonged at one time
to the family of Hatton. With regard to the Muniments,
these have been numbered from i to 594 in a consecutive
series ; but, for more convenient reference, they have also
been divided into sections according to subject. Thus nos.
1-72, dated 1 546-1662, relate exclusively to the Theatre
and the Bear Garden; nos. 73-184, dated 1537-1626, to
Bishopsgate, Southwark, Kennington, &c. ; and nos. 185-594,
dated 1323-1626, to Dulwich alone, including all the deeds
connected with the foundation of the College. A fourth and
last section is composed of a series of Court- Rolls of Dulwich
manor. These are numbered independently from A to M,
and extend in date, with several breaks in continuity, from
1333 to 1626.

The history of Alleyn's collection since his death in 1626
may be briefly told. The safe custody of the ' evidences ' of
the College was made the subject of special provision in the
statutes, and they were no doubt deposited in the Treasure
Chamber as a matter of course. But, with regard to the mass of

private papers unconnected with the College and of no legal
value, such precautions were not necessary, and there is no rea-
son to believe that their preservation was directly due either to
a deliberate intention on the Founder's own part or to
reverence entertained for his memory by others. Whether
they were from the first mixed up indiscriminately with the
Muniments or remained, at AUeyn's death, in that part of the
College buildings which he occupied, and which passed to
successive holders of the office of Master, is altogether un-
certain ; b ut the whole extent of the care bestowe d, upori-
them by the College authorities for m ore than_a^xefrtury~
seems to have consisted in leav i ng them aloi i£^ The natural
consequences of this neglect are everywhere seen in the marks
which they bear of damp and decay, and there can hardly be
a doubt that a large number of papers must have perished
altogether.'

The first intimation that such relics existed' is to be
found in the Biographia Britannica, published in 1747.
An earlier reference might have been looked for in John
Aubrey's account of Dulwich College, printed after his death
in the Natural History and Antiquities of Surrey, 17 19
(below, p. 202) ; but, although the library and pictures are
noticed, no mention is there made of any papers or other
MSS. which had belonged to the Founder. William Oldys,

' The fate of some may be inferred from that of Norden's print of London,
mentioned by Aubrey. To quote from Rich. Gough : ' Norden published also a
view of London in eight sheets, having at bottom a representation of the Lord
Mayor's shevf, all on horseback, and the aldermen in round caps. Bagford says
this view is singular, and was taken from the pitch of the hill towards Dulwich
college going to Camberwell from London, about 1604 or 1606, and that he had
not met with any other of the kind : he adds that he saw it on the staircase
at Dulwich college, and that Secretary Pepys went afterwards to see it, and
would have purchased it : but that since it is quite decayed and destroyed by the
damp of the wall' {British Topography, 1780, vol. i. p, 747). The actual fall
of the porch and Treasure Chamber in 1703 (p. 197) shows the lamentable state
to which the fabric of the College had been reduced.

viii INTRODUCTION.

who wrote the life of Edw. Alleyn in the Biographia, was
more inquisitive or more fortunate and drew from this source
the greater part of his materials. His information was not
obtained directly from the originals, but from the Master of
the College and, more especially, from a letter addressed to
him in 1745 by a ' learned and ingenious member.' To this
letter he constantly refers, and its writer, the Rev. Tho.
Waterhouse, who had been appointed usher as recently as
1744, deserves the credit of being the first Fellow on the
Dulwich foundation who showed an appreciative interest in
its manuscript treasures. At the same time, the particulars
published related almost exclusively to AUeyn's own personal
history, and it is evident, both from bmissions and errors,
that a large portion of the collection was still undiscovered or
had been very superficially examined. The volume of which
most use was made was Alleyn's Diary for 1617-1622, now
MS. ix., and it is worth notice that this is expressly said
to be the only one of its kind then extant.' Although it is
probable enough that similar Diaries, after, if not before, the
above period, had been left by Alleyn, the statement is so far
satisfactory that it relieves the College in modern times from
the suspicion of having allowed them to perish. Of Philip
Henslowe Oldys knew so little that he wrote his name as
Hinchtoe, and of his Diary he appears to have been wholly
ignorant. Nearly forty years more, in fact, elapsed before this
unique and most remarkable record of Elizabethan stage
management was brought to light. Its discovery was
announced by Edmond M alone at the end of his Historical
Account of the English Stage (Shakspeare, 1790, vol. i.

' Malone, -writing in 1780, says that he had enquired at the College for this
Diary, but it had ' been lost within these few years ' by the negligence of a former
librarian [Supplement to the Edition of Shakspeare published in 1778, vol. i, p.
49). Fortunately at some time or other it was again discovered.

part ii. p. 288). To use his own words : ' Just as this work
was issuing from the press, some curious manuscripts relative
to the stage were found at Dulwich College, and obligingly-
transmitted to me from thence. One of these is a large folio
volume of accounts kept by Mr. Philip Henslowe, who
appears to have been proprietor of the Rose Theatre, near
the Bankside, in Southwark.' Throwing, as they did, a flood
of unexpected light on his subject, these new materials were
of the highest importance to Malone ; and, although, as he
proceeds to say, it was too late to insert them in their proper
places, he printed copious extracts from the Diary as an
appendix, adding to them a few of the letters and papers in
MS. i. and some curious theatrical inventories, the originals
of which have since unfortunately disappeared. Shortly after
Malone's publication, attention was again directed to the
Dulwich collection by Daniel Lysons in his Environs of
London, 1792, vol. i. p. Zy. Though not free from errors,
the account there given of Edw. Alleyn and his foundation
was fuller and more accurate than any before it. This was
mainly due to the facilities afforded the author for inspect-
ing the MSS. at the College, whereby he was enabled not
only to correct and supplement earlier writers, but to extract
from Alleyn's Diary and other sources much interesting
matter. Among the papers thus made known were some of
the most important of those connected with the Bear Garden
in MS. ii. ; but the subject of Henslowe's Diary and the
theatrical MSS. generally is passed over in silence. The
reason of this is hard to understand, unless Lysons wrote, like
Oldys, before they were found. This, however, could scarcely
have been the case, since he refers to Malone's discovery of a
note of Alleyn's marriage, by which he apparently means the
entry in Henslowe's Diary quoted below, p. 6, note i. The
originals, as we know, were in the hands of Malone ; but it is

a

INTRODUCTION.

hardly credible that Lysons should have heard nothing about
them at the College. It is, indeed, not wholly impossible that
the authorities there had forgotten their existence ; at the
most, they had so little idea of their value, or such unbounded
confidence in Malone, that he was actually permitted, it
appears, to retain possession of them down to his death in
1812 (Collier, Mem. of Edw. Alleyn, p. 2). The greater
part are said to have been then returned by the younger
James Boswell, his literary executor ; but some of the papers
which he published as belonging to the collection are no
longer to be found in it, and how many more disappeared,
of which no record remains, it is impossible to say. The
inventories mentioned above and an interesting agreement
by Robert Dawes as a member of Henslowe's company in 1614
{Shakspeare, 1821, vol. xxi. p. 413) have been lost altogether,
and the same is the case with the stage-plot of Tamar Cam
{ibid. vol. iii. p. 356). Of the three other very curious plots
printed by Malone the only one still at the College is that of
The Seven Deadly Sins, now MS. xix. The plots of The Dead
Man's Fortune and Frederick and Basilea by some means
found their way into the library of Richard Heber, and, at its
sale in 1836, they were bought for the British Museum, being
now numbered Additional MS. 10449. It should be added
that after Malone's death transcripts were found among his
papers of a number of documents, in addition to the matter
which he had actually printed. These transcripts, which
included the valuable series of letters addressed to Henslowe
by Rob. Daborne, the dramatist, were published by Boswell
in his edition of Malone's Shakspeare, 1821, vols. iii. p. 343,
xxi. p. 389.

The next writer who made an independent use of the
Dulwich collection was Mr. John Payne Collier. The result
of his earliest personal acquaintance with it was embodied in

INTRODUCTION. xi

his History of Dramatic Poetry, &c., published in 1831, up to
which time he had chiefly devoted his attention to Henslowe's
Diary. In 1841 he produced his Memoirs of Edward Alley Ji,
a volume which had the honour of being the first of the series
issued by the newly-formed Shakespeare Society. Its nature
has been aptly described by Mr. Joseph Hunter ' as ' a sylva
of Alleyneana rather than a life of Alleyn ' ; but, in spite of
many deficiencies, it contained a large amount of new facts
and documents of the highest interest and value, with regard
to both Alleyn himself and some of the most famous of his
literary contemporaries. One disagreeable feature, which it
has in common with other works of the same author, will have
to be considered further on. The Memoirs were followed
in 1843 by the Alley 7t Papers, a thin volume edited by Mr.
Collier for the same society. Its contents consisted solely of
letters and papers, a number of which, such as the Daborne
correspondence, were not entirely fresh matter. In the intro-
duction were also included extracts from AUeyn's Memoran-
dum-Book, now MS. viii. It should be observed that some
of the documents published in this volume were at the time
not at Dulwich, but in the possession of Mr. J. O. Halliwell.
Their nature, however, leaves no room for doubt that they
originally belonged to AUeyn's collection ; and at a later
period Mr. Halliwell with his usual liberality restored them
to the College. They are now distributed through the volumes
in their proper places, but a list drawn up by Mr. Halliwell
will be found at the end of MS. iii. Mr. Collier's last Dulwich
publication was The Diary of Philip Henslowe, Shakespeare
Society, 1845, comprising all the matter in the MS. which
has anything to do with the stage. The inventories of
costumes, properties, and play-books, before alluded to,

were also included in an appendix ; but, the originals being
lost, these were taken just as they stood, from Malone's
Shakspeare, 1821, vol. iii. p. 308. Mr. Collier gives as
his special reason for reprinting them that they had actually
formed part of the Diary and had been abstracted since
Malone's time. This, however, is an error, since Malone states
(pp. cit. p. 296) that they were found in a bundle of loose
papers.

Through the medium of the works enumerated, and more
particularly those of Mr. Collier, the collection was now fully
made known ; ' and it need hardly be added that its custodians
were at length thoroughly alive to the duty of preserving
what was left of it intact. Though it could not atone for the
scandalous neglect and apathy of earlier times, the care shown
in this respect during the closing years of the old corporation
left little to be desired. To the last two Fellows who held
the office of Librarian, the Rev. John Image and the Rev.
Charles Howes, Mr. Collier paid a fitting tribute in his several
introductions ; and it is the more to be regretted that some
unscrupulous forger should have abused the opportunities,
which their liberality allowed, by the introduction of spurious
matter. Since the re-constitution of Alleyn's College under
the Act of Parliament of 1857 the Manuscripts, which form
part of the Library, have been in the official custody of the
Rev. Dr. Carver, the first Master under the new scheme.
The Muniments, on the other hand, which were formerly
in the Treasure Chamber, are now deposited in the Muniment
Room at the New College, where they are effectually secured
from further harm. I may further mention that Dr. Carver

of his predecessors, it is but fair to say that his own transcripts are far from im-

Malone hardly went so far as to transform the plain signature ' A Warwyke '
(p. 85) into ' Edwaid Dyer.'

has had the good fortune to purchase back a few of the
papers lost by his less careful predecessors, among them being
an interesting series of suggestions made to Alleyn for his
-Statutes by the Warden of Winchester College (p. 145). It
is to be hoped that, if similar opportunities should occur, they
will not be neglected.'

But, although now jealously preserved, the collection up
to the present time has never been catalogued. The letters
and papers also still remained in the utmost possible con-
fusion ; and it was necessary therefore, in the first instance,
to reduce them to order. Their mutilated and fragmentary
condition, and in many cases the absence of dates, made this
a task of some difficulty ; but all have now been carefully
repaired and bound, and the contents of the several volumes,
into which they are divided, have been chronologically arranged.
One result is that some papers thought to be lost, as MS. i.
art. 106, prove to be safe, while, on the contrary, others which
survived to so comparatively recent a date as to be printed
by Mr. Collier have to be reported as now missing. The
other MSS., which already formed separate volumes, were in
an almost equally dilapidated state. They have therefore
been re-bound uniformly with the rest, care, however, being
taken to preserve the old vellum covers of MSS. vii. and ix.
The original design of the Catalogue was restricted to the
manuscripts in the Library ; but, on examination, their inti-
mate connexion with the muniments made it advisable to
include also a portion of the latter. All those deeds and
other documents have accordingly been catalogued which
were executed by Alleyn himself or in his own time, or which
■came to him on the acquisition o his estates. The few of a

later date which have been added continue the history of the
Fortune Theatre after his death till its final demolition.

The system upon which the Catalogue has been compiled
is as follows : — With regard to the Alleyn Papers, every letter
and paper, except in the case of a series to the same purport,,
has been separately described ; references have been given
when an article has already been printed ; and explanatory
foot-notes have been frequently subjoined. From their peculiar
interest, the contents of MSS. i. and ii. claimed to be even
more minutely treated. The descriptions therefore have often
taken the form of a regular precis; and, if an important
article has not been published or the published text is very
inaccurate, it has been printed in full. This latter course has
occasionally been adopted for other reasons ; and in MSS. iii.
and V. also a few articles have been dealt with in the same way.
For MSS. vii.-xi., and for the rest of the MSS. not belonging
to AUeyn's collection, a description in general terms, with the
addition in some cases of a few extracts, has been deemed
sufficient. The extracts from Alleyn's Diary are numerous.
They form, however, a small portion only of the MS., in which
even the most trifling payments are recorded from day to.
day; and all the entries selected possess some elements
of interest. A good many of them have been printed or
noticed elsewhere, but it has been in a loose and disconnected
way, and the annotations, which they required and which here
accompany them, will, it is hoped, be regarded as an addi-
tional reason for their reproduction. In cataloguing the
muniments the descriptions have been made as concise as
possible, but nothing worthy of notice has intentionally been
omitted. The only exception is in the case of the Court-Rolls
of Dulwich manor. The extreme dates of each of these have
alone been given, a few general remarks upon them being
reserved for this Introduction,

But, before I enter upon other matters, it will be con-
venient to collect some particulars of the life of Edward Alleyn,
though, at the same time, much must necessarily be left to be
supplied from the Catalogue itself or from what has already
been written on the subject by others. The date of his birth
on I Sept., 1566, is accurately fixed by his own entries
of its recurring anniversary in his Diary ; and his baptism on
the day following is recorded in the parish register of St.
Botolph's, Bishopsgate. Fuller's often-quoted statement that
he was born 'near Devonshire house where now is the
sign of the Pie ' is fully confirmed by the mention of Pye
Alley and Fisher's Folly, the old name of Devonshire House,
in close connexion with his father's property. In the pedi-
gree, signed by himself, in the Visitation of Surrey in 1623,' he
appears as the son of Edward Alleyn, of Willen, co. Bucks,
and of Margaret Townley, daughter of John Townley, of co.
Lancaster. The paternal descent is so far borne out that a
pedigree in the Visitation of Bucks in 1634 (Brit. Mus., Harley
MS. 1234, f 13) makes the elder Edward Alleyn to be the
second son of Thomas Alleyn, of Willen and of Mesham, co.
Bedford. On the other hand, even so experienced a genealogist
as Mr. Joseph Hunter failed to trace the connexion between
Margaret Townley and the Townleys of Lancashire ; ^ and
there is too much reason to suspect that it rested simply on
imagination. This is riot the less likely from the date of the
pedigree, which was drawn out just before Alleyn's marriage
with Constance Donne and about the time when he is known
(p. 112) to have been desirous of 'sum further dignetie,' for

' An authentic copy from the original in the Heralds' College is given by

but he does not address him (p. 99) as if he were a relative.

xvi INTRODUCTION.

the attainment of which a good descent was probably of con-
sequence.

The earliest mention in the Dulwich collection of Edw.
Alleyn, the father, is in a bond dated 1555 (Mun. Ty).
He is there styled 'of London, yeoman,' as also in 1557
(Mun. 78). In subsequent deeds, the first of which records
his purchase of a house in Bishopsgate in 1566 (Mun. 80), he
uniformly appears as an ' innholder,' and he is so described in
his will, dated 10 Sept., 1570 (Mun. 82). The statement
made by Malcolm {Londinium Redivivum, 1802, vol. i.
p. 345) and noticed by Hunter as ' a very curious fact,' that
in the entry of his burial at St. Botolph's, on 13 Sept., 1570,
he is called ' poete to the Queene,' may be readily dismissed.
On referring to the register I found the word to be 'porter';
and the title ' one of the Queen's Maiesties porters ' is given
him in a document (p. 122) dated 1567.' In the pedigree of
1623, besides Edw. Alleyn, he has four other children, all
sons, viz. John, William, Oliver, and Percival. Of the last
three there is no mention in the collection ; but in the register
of St. Botolph's the baptism of William Allen is recorded on
13 Feb., 1 567 [8] and the burial of Oliver Allen on 13 Dec,
1 563. Apparently the only one of the four brothers who grew
up was John Alleyn, whose name frequently occurs in the
Catalogue until after 1596. In that year he died, his property
being administered by his widow, Margaret Alleyn. Whether
his son, also named John, survived him is uncertain ; but he
too was already dead in 1623, without issue.^ The elder John
was senior to his brother Edward, and, as his baptism is not
recorded in the parish register, was presumably born before

• A somewhat similar error was made by Mr. Collier [^Memoirs, p. 155), in
quoting from AUeyn's Diary the entry 'Goodman poet dind here.' It is really
'Goodman Pole ' (cf. p. 176, below, 27 Aug.).

his parents settled in St. Botolph's. His wife's name being
Margaret, it is not improbable that he was the John Allen
■whose marriage to Margaret Davie was registered on 2 1 Aug.,
1580. In this case his mother-in-law, who is called Julian
Crapwell (p. 256), must have had more than one husband.

Some time before 12 Feb., 1580, the widow of Edward
Alleyn, the father, married again ; for on that day she exe-
cuted a deed (Mun. 84) as the wife of John Browne, who
then and after is called a haberdasher. If we are to believe
Mr. Collier and others who have followed him, he was an actor
as well ; but it is plain that he has been confounded with
Robert Browne, and Mr. Collier's confident assumption that it
Avas by his stepfather that Alleyn, to use Fuller's expression,
•was ' bred a stage player,' is, in fact, entirely unsupported. In
default of evidence, both the reasons which led him to choose
the profession and the date of his entering it must be left to
■conjecture. Unlike John Alleyn, who soon became, like his
father, an innholder, he continued to be styled merely
' yeoman ' and ' gentleman ' during the whole of the period
■covered by the early deeds relating to the property they in-
herited in Bishopsgate ; and it is a curious fact, not hitherto
remarked, that on the first occasion on which he is credited
with a profession it is that of a ' musicion ' (Mun. 106). This
was in 1595, by which time his reputation as an actor was
fully established ; and the designation is additional evidence
that in the early theatre there was no strongly marked
distinction between the stage and the orchestra. The pro
bability is that he began to act when quite a youth, perhaps
at the instigation of his elder brother, who, if not actually a
performer, was in some way engaged in theatrical affairs.
Edward AUeyn's name first occurs in a list of the Earl of
Worcester's players in i S 86 ( Shakespeare Soc. Papers, vol.
iv., 1849, p. 149); but the earliest document here connecting

xviii INTRODUCTION.

him with the stage is dated 1589 (p. 2). The position he
ultimately achieved is sufficiently shown by the passage in
T. Nash's Pierce Pennylesse, 1592, first quoted by Chal-
mers (Malone's Shahspeare, 1821, vol. iii. p. S03) : 'Not
Roscius or ^sope, those tragedians admyred before Christ
was borne, could ever performe more in action than famous
Ned Allen ' ; and, not to multiply references, the same-
flattering comparison is made by Ben Jonson in his well-
known epigram addressed to Alleyn himself (Collier, Me-
moirs, p. 6).

On 22 Oct., 1592, Edward Alleyn married Joan Wood-
ward, who was daughter by a former husband of Agnes^
then wife of Philip Henslowe. Of the date of this marriage
there is no question (p. 6, note i); but it is singular that
' Mistris AUene ' is named in a letter which was almost cer-
tainly written in Feb., 1591 or 1592 (p. 5). It is possible
therefore that Joan Woodward was his second wife, and the
tradition that the Founder was thrice married, formerly
current at the College, but latterly discredited, may thus after
all be correct. The close proximity of dates certainly need
be no objection, if we may judge from the extreme haste with
which he married again in 1623. The name and occupation
of Joan Woodward's father, as well as the amount of property,,
if any, which she brought to her husband, have eluded dis-
covery. What evidence there is, however, is decidedly against
Mr. Collier's conclusions on the subject [Memoirs, pp. 15,
16). The entries irl Henslowe's Diary, from which he as-
sumes that Woodward was engaged in mining operations in
Ashdown Forest, clearly relate to the family of Henslowe
(p. 157, n. i), and the parsonage of Firle came to Alleyn
not with his wife, but by assignment from A. Langworth
(Munn. 109, 144).

Not the least of the advantages which resulted to Alleyn

INTROD UCTION.

from his marriage was that it brought him into intimate
relations with his wife's stepfather, Philip Henslowe.' Al-
though the latter appears to have been servant to Agnes
Woodward at the time he married her {Memoirs, p. 124),,
his origin was less obscure than has been generally sup-
posed. In the Visitation of Sussex in 1634 (Harley MS. 1562,
f. I XAfb) he is said to have been the fourth son of Edmond
Hensley, or Henslowe, of Lindfield. The latter married Mar-
garet Ridge, of the same county, and was, as we learn elsewhere
(p. 1 57, n. i), for a long period Master of the Game in Broil Park
and Ashdown Forest. The pedigree in the volume quoted goes
back as far as Edmond's great-grandfather, William Hensley
or Hensleigh, of Devon, who, according to the Visitation of
Devon in 1620 (Harleian Society, vol. vi., 1872, p. 123),
married Joan, daughter and co-heir of William Whitfield.
Philip Henslowe's name, which is spfelt in a variety of ways,
first occurs in the Catalogue in 1577 (p. 85), when he was
already living in the Liberty of the Clink,^ in Southwark, as
he continued to do till his death. In 1584 (Mun. 86) and sub-
sequently he is described as a dyer ; but he seems to have
acted also as a pawnbroker (p. 157) and to have engaged in
sundry other trading speculations. In 1592 or 1593 he
became a Groom of the Chamber to Queen Elizabeth, and in
1603 a Sewer of the Chamber to James I. Illiterate himself

he has gained a permanent place in literary history through
the preservation of the volume which recorded his receipts
and transactions as a theatrical proprietor and manager at
the most critical period of the developement of the English
drama, although unfortunately there is nothing to show that
he came into contact with its most illustrious exponent. His
connexion with the stage, which probably began with his
acquisition of the 'Little Rose' in 1585 (Mun. 15) and the
erection or re-erection of a theatre on its site in 1587 (Mun.
16), has been fully discussed by Mr. Collier in the introduc-
tion to his edition of the Diary, and there is no occasion
therefore to dwell upon it here. It is enough to say that
from 1592, the year in which the Diary opens and in which
Alleyn was married, Henslowe and he were united more or
less closely in a theatrical partnership, which was only dis-
solved by the death of the former in 1616.

Edw. Alleyn, at the time of his marriage, was a member
•of the company known as the Lord Admiral's, and he still re-
mained attached to it after it passed, on the accession of James
I., to Henry, Prince of Wales. In 1593, however, when the
plague was raging in London, he joined Lord Strange's com-
pany in a provincial tour, and to this we are indebted for the
very interesting correspondence with his wife and her step-
father (p. s). The letters on both sides bear pleasing testi-
mony to Alleyn's amiable qualities and the affectionate terms
upon which he lived with his ' mouse ' and her family. In
1594-1597. as may be gathered from the Diary, he was again
performing on the London stage ; but, towards the close of
the latter year, he is represented as having for some reason
' leafte playinge.' In confirmation of this temporary retire-
ment he is found, both in June and September, 1598, staying
with his wife at the house of Arthur Langworth at Broil, in
Sussex, where Henslowe addressed to him the two letters on

the subject of the Mastership of the Royal Game (pp. 15, 65)
one of which contains so remarkable a notice of Ben Jonson.
His next appearance is in connexion with the building of
the Fortune Theatre, in Golden Lane, Cripplegate. A lease
of the site was acquired by him on 22 Dec, 1599 (Mun. 20),
and the contract with Peter Streete for its erection was
signed on 8 Jan., 1599-1600 (Mun. 22). Although the house
itself was built for Henslowe and AUeyn together, all the
deeds relative to the site, &c., down to the acquisition of the
freehold in 1610 (Mun. 38), are in Alleyn's name only, and
the same is the case with the two warrants in furtherance of
the project (pp. 17, 18). Ultimately the whole property came
into his possession, and it formed part of the endowment of
Dulwich College. The date of the completion of the build-
ing is unknown, but it was probably open for performance
before the end of the year 1600, and Alleyn's own acting no
doubt from the first formed one of its principal attractions.

But before this he had begun to provide the public with
entertainment of a grosser kind. His interest in the baiting-
house at Paris Garden, on the Bankside, dated as far back
as Dec, 1594 (p. 6"], n. 4), and we have his own word for
it that on an outlay of 450/. it brought him in 60/. a year.
It was this success probably, with the desire to get Hd of
vexatious restrictions, which prompted Henslowe and him-
self on the death of Ralph Bowes in 1598 to exert all
their interest to secure his office of Master of the so-called
Royal Game of Bears, Bulls, and Mastiff Dogs. In this
attempt they were unsuccessful, the Queen having already
granted the reversion to John Dorrington (p. 65) ; and they
were compelled instead to pay the latter a yearly commission
for license to bait. Sir William Steward, who succeeded
Dorrington in July, 1604 (p. 68, n. i), made profit from the
office in a different way ; for, by withholding this license and

xxii INTRODUCTION.

refusing to take over their house and stock on reasonable
terms, he obliged them to purchase his patent at a price
Tvhich they afterwards declared to have been exorbitant.
A new patent in their favour as joint-masters was accordingly-
made out on 24 Nov., 1604 (p. 6"]), with the usual fees and
privileges, as may be seen on pp. 73-78. Some of these
privileges for the taking up of dogs for the King's service
were not enforced without trouble to themselves and danger
to their subordinate officers. This patent was held by Alleyn
as the survivor down to his death ; and, notwithstanding
complaints to the contrary, the profits in various ways, added
to the sums charged for admission to the Garden, were pro-
bably considerable. Although too the general management
of the baiting seems to have been in the hands of Jacob
Mead as lessee or deputy, in presence of royalty or on other
special occasions the barbarous sport was directed by the
Master in person. Instances of this are recorded by Alleyn
himself in his Diary as late as 1622, and a sickening de-
scription of his baiting of a lion before the King, Queen, and
Prince in 1604 is quoted by Mr. Collier {Memoirs, p. 65)
from Stow's Chronicle. The whole of the contents of
MS. ii. relating to the subject of the Bear Garden are exceed-
ingly curious, and for graphic illustration of a certain phase
of contemporary manners few letters of the time will compare
with Sir William Faunt's on p. 82. The only letter here which
comes near it in this respect is that containing an account of
a trial for murder on p. 105.

Previous to 1605 the investments which Alleyn's growing
■wealth enabled him to make appear to have been principally
leasehold ; and, although Mr. Collier speaks as if it were
otherwise, his estate in the parsonage of Firle and in the
manor of Kennington formed no exception. His nego-
tiations for the purchase of Dulwich probably began in the

INTRODUCTION. xxiii

summer of 1605. This manor was granted by Henry I. in
1 1 27 to Benmondsey Abbey, to which it belonged until the
suppression of the house in 1537-8. On 11 Oct., 1544,
Henry VIII. granted it (Mun. 331) in capite, at a rent of
3 3 J. <jd., to Thomas Calton, of London, goldsmith, the grant
including also the advowson of the vicarage of Camberwell.
Besides this, Thomas Calton had already acquired from Sir
Thomas Pope, on 18 Sept., 1544 (Mun. 330), some land
called Rigate's Green, in Dulwich Wood, which had been
granted to Sir Humfrey Browne in 1542 (Mun. 324) and sold
by him to Pope the following day. From Thomas Calton
the whole estate descended to his son, Nicholas Calton, and
his grandson, Sir Francis, the latter of whom succeeded his
father at ten years of age in 1575 (p. 123) and received livery
of his inheritance in 1587 (Mun. 383). The precise date of
Alleyn's first acquisition of property in the manor has hitherto
been a matter of doubt. It is now ascertained to have been
I Oct., 1605 (Mun. 456). This purchase, however, seems to
have been merely a preliminary, in order to clear off a mort-
gage held by Sir Robert Lee since 1602 ; and it was followed,
on 3 Oct., by articles of agreement ' on the part of Sir F. Calton
for the sale of the manor itself and the whole of his estate,
excepting the Camberwell advowson. As the price stipulated
was 4,900/., the undated letter (p. 88), in which he peremp-
torily refuses 4,500/. and demands sixteen years' purchase at
320/. a year, must belong to a still earlier stage in the pro-
ceedings. This letter, interesting in itself, is made doubly so
by Alleyn's notes of his resources and ' means for money '
written on the back. In his Memorandum-Book he records
that he bought the manor on 25 Oct., 1605, for 5,000/. (p. 89) ;
but the formal deed of sale, for the same sum, is dated 8 May,

' The original of this document has been lost. It was printed by Mr. Collier,
Memoirs of Edw. Alleyn, p. 191.

xxiv INTRODUCTION.

1606 (Mun. 471). It should be noted too that this deed
includes the Camberwell advowson, notwithstanding that the
terms used by Alleyn in his expostulatoiy letter to Sir Francis
Calton on p. in, coupled with the fact of its omission from
the articles of 3 Oct., seem to imply that this was a separate
bargain for 800 marks. Including 1,700/. for redemption of
mortgages, the amount paid in hand by Alleyn was 2,000/.^
of which he raised 1,300/. by the sale of his lease at Firle.
The balance of the 5,000/ he engaged to pay at the end of
six years, with 2 1 3/. 6s. 8d. yearly for its ' forbearance.*
Calton's final acquittance was given on 25 Oct., 161 3; but,
as may be seen in MS. iii., his applications in the interval for
advances on various pretexts, of which the least respectable
was the want of 5/. to give as a bribe, were almost incessant.
In one case at least AUeyn's dealings with him were the
reverse of unprofitable ; for the lease of Kennington manor,
which he bought himself in 1604 for 1,065/, he sold to Calton
in 1609 for 2,000/. (p. 94, n. i).

Meanwhile, although Alleyn had become lord of the
manor of Dulwich, some part of the soil, freehold and
copyhold, still remained in other hands. The successive
steps by which he gradually bought up this from Sir Edmond
Bowyer, Thomas Calton, and others between the years 1606-
and 1 614 may be traced in the series of muniments, as well
as in his own summary in MS. viii. {Alleyn Papers, p. xiv.) ;.
and altogether the estate must have cost him not much less.
thaX 10,000/. In 1606 he was already styled ' Edward Alleyn,.
of Dulwich, esquire,' but it is doubtful when he removed his
residence thither from Southwark. As he was churchwarden
of the Clink Liberty in 1610 and letters continued to be
addressed to him there as late as 161 2, the probability is that
he did not settle at Dulwich until 1613, the same year in
which he began the building of the College. Only three

INTRODUCTION. xxv

transactions before this date need be here specified. One of
these, which escaped Mr. Collier's notice, is especially interest-
ing, since, excluding forgeries, it associates Alleyn's name for
the first and only time in the collection with that of the
greatest of his contemporaries. This was his purchase in
1609, the year of publication, of Shakespeare's Sonnets,
recorded by himself on the back of a letter (p. 72) and
entered, strangely enough to modern ideas, under ' Howshowld
stuff.' The sum of %d. which he gave for the book no doubt
represents its published price and is in striking contrast with
its present market value.' The other transactions referred to
are his purchase from the heirs of W. Gill, on 30 May, 16 10
(Mun. 38), of the freehold of the Fortune and the adjoining
tenements, before held only on lease ; and his sale to Henslowe,
in Feb., 1610-11, of his interest in the Bear Garden. The
only evidence of this sale is his note in MS. viii. (p. 6^, n. 4).
It clearly had nothing to do with the Mastership of the Royal
Game, but applied only to the fabric and profits of the baiting-
house. In 1606, during their joint occupancy, the woodwork
■of the structure had been renewed (p. 6Z), and the whole
house was rebuilt and adapted both for baiting and dramatic
representations in 161 3 (Mun. 49), at which date Henslowe
had Jacob Mead for a partner. At Henslowe's death it came
again to Alleyn, acting at first perhaps for his mother-in-law,
with the result that he was involved in disputes with Mead
which were not composed until 16 19 (p. 80). On another
question of interest, as to the time when Alleyn finally quitted
the stage, no positive information can be given. He bore the
formal title of ' servant to the Prince of Wales' as late as
April, 1 61 2 (p. 75); but this is certainly no proof that he
was still an active member of the Prince's company, and, as a

matter of fact, his name is neither in the Hst of 1607 nor in
the probably earlier list in Harley MS. 252. From the way
too in which Heywood speaks of him in his Apology for
Actors, i6i2,i he had evidently ceased to perform for some
time previously. His last recorded appearance seems to have
been on 15 Mar., 1603-4 (Collier, Hist. Dram. Poetry, 1879,
vol. i. p. 339), when, in the guise of Genius, he delivered, ' with
excellent action and a well-tun'de, audible voyce,' a congra-
tulatory address to James I. at his entertainment in the City ;,
and it may reasonably be concluded that his retirement pre-
ceded, rather than followed, his purchase of Dulwich. At the
same time it is highly probable that he continued for a while
to take part in the management of the Fortune. From
Rob. Browne's letter on p. 35 it may perhaps be inferred
that this was the case as late as 161 2, after which Henslowe's
name, until his death, largely predominates.

Alleyn, in fact, at this period, though still pecuniarily
interested in theatrical affairs, had assumed the new character
of a landed proprietor living on his estate, and, while Hens-
lowe was bargaining with Daborne for plays, he was busied
with the work which, more than his fame as an actor, has
preserved his memory. If, as above suggested, he removed
to Dulwich in 161 3, he must have set about it immediately,
since the contract for the erection of a chapel, schoolhouse
and twelve almshouses is dated 17 May (Mun. 558). It has
been thought that he took the idea of his College from the
Charterhouse, founded by Thomas Sutton only two years
before ; but at the most this is only a plausible conjecture
strengthened by a certain likeness between the two charities,
each of which combined the care of the old with the educa-
tion of the young. On the other hand, it is interesting to

find among his papers, besides references to Eton and Win-
chester, the statutes of a somewhat similar institution as far
off as Amsterdam (p. 145). These statutes are taken from
Pontanus's History of Amsterdam, 161 1 ; and, although
they differ widely from his own, the outward resemblance
between the Gerontocomium, of which a view is there given,
and the building at Dulwich is perhaps not wholly accidental.
While the latter was in course of erection Alleyn was deprived
by death of the partner and friend whom for more than
twenty years he had familiarly called his father. Philip
Henslowe died on or about 9 Jan., 161 5-6, and the validity
of his will was at once disputed by John Henslowe, his
nephew and heir-at-law. Both the bill of complaint and the
answer of Alleyn and his co-defendants have been preserved
(p. 140) ; but, in the absence of full particulars, the merits of
the case are somewhat obscure, nor does it appear how much
of the estate ultimately devolved upon Alleyn at or before
the death of his mother-in-law, Agnes Henslowe, in 1617.
His agreement, however, with the company at the Hope and
their subsequent letter to him (pp. 50, 51) show that he im-
mediately assumed the direction of Henslowe's theatrical
concerns. The first of these documents is dated 20 Mar.,
161 5-6 ; and to a later period in the same year belongs one,
if not both, of the interesting letters of Thomas Dekker (p. 51).
By the end of the summer of 1616 the College was
so far ready that the chapel was consecrated by Archbishop
Abbot on i Sept., the first Fellow, Cornelius Lymar, having
been appointed the day before. Between 30 Sept. and
17 Oct. the full number of twelve poor brothers and sisters
was made up ; but the twelve poor scholars, with their master
and usher, were not admitted until the latter half of 1617.'

' It is of some interest to notice that the admission of paying scholars began
at least as early as 1620 (pp. 185, 186).

INTRODUCTION.

In order, however, that the College might not collapse at his
death under the statute of Mortmain, it was still imperative
for the Founder to procure letters-patent for its incorporation
and endowment. There were difficulties in the way, which
perhaps he never anticipated ; and his own Diary, which now
comes into use, shows plainly what zeal and pertinacity were
required to remove them. Naturally the five years, beginning
at Michaelmas, 1617, which this volume covers, are the best
known period of Alleyn's life ; but the extracts given in the
body of the Catalogue make it unnecessary to particularise.
The chief, if not the only, direct opposition to his charitable
scheme seems to have proceeded from Lord Chancellor
Bacon, partly on account of the detriment to the Crown and
partly on the ground that ' hospitals abound and beggars
abound never a whit the less.' These reasons Bacon explained
in a letter to Buckingham (p. 172), whose powerful interest
was enlisted on the other side ; and he proposed that at the
least the endowment should be reduced from 800/. to 500/.
a year. In thus acting he only maintained the position which
he had taken up several years before in connexion with the
Charterhouse ; and the arguments which he then employed in
his letter to the King (Spedding, Life, vol. iv., 1868, p.
247) to show that foundations such as that of Sutton were
productive of more harm than good to the community had
equal force against Alleyn's design. The difference was
that he was now in a position which made his antagonism far
more formidable ; but, notwithstanding this, he only suc-
ceeded in delaying the patent for a few months. From one
cause and another it did not pass the Great Seal until 21 June,
1 6 19, and the corporate existence of the College dates from
13 Sept. following. On this memorable day AUeyn publicly
read and subscribed the Deed of Foundation in the chapel
before a distinguished company, whom he afterwards enter-

tained at dinner. The first name in the list of guests is that
of Bacon, whose presence on the occasion did equal honour
to himself and his host.

By the terms of the deed, Thomas and Matthias AUeyn
were named Master and Warden respectively ; but, for
some time at least, the Founder personally administered
the affairs of the College, with the aid of the four Fellows
in their several capacities of preacher, schoolmaster, usher,
and organist. Possibly he continued to do so until his
death, but the entries in the Register cease to be made
in his own hand after 1622. In this way, besides his own
household and personal expenses, his Diary includes pay-
ments of every kind on the College account, which show
his minute and unceasing care of its inmates. Unfortunately
there is equal proof that his benevolence did not always meet
with a fitting return. Almost from the first there was
drunkenness among the men and ' incharity ' and ' unquiet-
ness ' among the women, while the Fellows neglected their
duties and one of them (p. 109) secretly married Anne
Alleyn, the Founder's cousin. Although the entries are as
brief as they could well be, the MS. generally is of the highest
value for the light it throws upon Alleyn's character and the
position in the world which he latterly occupied. Except
that he was vexed with lawsuits, which provoked the com-
plaint that, of all his expenses, law was the worst, his life was
one of dignified ease and comfort. At various times he was
the guest of, or dined in company with, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishops of London and Winchester, Lord
Treasurer Montague, Sir Julius Caesar, Master of the Rolls,
the Countess of Kildare, the Ambassadors Count Gondomar
and Sir Noel Caron, Sir Edward Sackville, Dr. John Donne,
and many more. Not the least significant of the names men-
tioned is that of Lady Kildare, who was daughter of the

INTRODUCTWN.

Lord Admiral Nottingham, whose theatrical servant he had
formerly been. Among his friends too he numbered the
art-loving Earl of Arundel and Sir William Alexander, the
poet, afterwards Earl of Stirling, the latter of whom, like Ben
Jonson, made his merits the theme of eulogistic verse (p. 60).
Of Alleyn's own hospitality at Dulwich there is abundant
evidence, and among those who dined at his table was the
famous physician, William Harvey. Members of the Fortune
company and other actors were constant guests ; but, as Mr.
Collier remarks, the names of the dramatic poets which might
have been expected do not occur. Under different circum-
stances, however, mention is made of Thomas Lodge, whom
he imprisoned, and John Taylor, the water-poet, whom he
aided with a liberal subscription for one of his works. The
identity of Thomas Middleton, Anthony Munday and
Matthew Roydon is less certainly made out. On special
occasions Alleyn also entertained the poor people of the
College; and in 1621 and 1622 the festivities of Twelfth-
night were enlivened by a show and a play performed by the
boys. Resides the almshouses which he built in Finsbury or
Cripplegate in 1620 (p. 185), many small donations in charity
are recorded ; and it is curious to find among the recipients
a seminary priest (p. 169) and 'a pore knight ' (p. 185). On
business, or for such purposes as to see the tilting at White-
hall, the Lord Mayor's show, and the funeral of Queen Anne,
Alleyn's visits to London were extremely frequent. He then
often dined at the house of his friend Lady Clarke, where he
seems to have paid for his own drink, or resorted to a tavern.
The names of the taverns which he patronised are not with-
out interest. Besides Young's and Hart's ordinarie.s, they
include the Bear, Horn, St. Paul's Head, Cardinal's Hat, Red
Cross, Feathers, Plough, Bell in Westminster, Nag's Head,
Mermaid, George, Bull's Head, King's Cross, Three Tuns;

Dancing Bears, Golden Tun, Larder, and Devil and St
Dunstan.^ On several occasions he rode to Greenwich to
bait before the King, and he also went to the Court at
Windsor and to Wanstead for an interview with the Marquis
of Buckingham. The longest journey which he made was to
Winchester in August, 1618, with the object no doubt of
seeing the College. Of the London theatres he names the
Red Bull and the Rose, as well as the Fortune, the last being
repeatedly mentioned. On 31 Oct., 1618, he let it for thirty-
one years on lease ; and on 9 Dec, 1 621, he records its destruc-
tion by fire in a matter-of-fact way which is eminently charac-
teristic. Before 16 Apr., 1622, he had begun the erection of
a new house to replace it, and on 20 May he signed leases of
some of the shares on terms which bound the lessees to con-
tribute towards the building expenses. Though the contract
has not been preserved, it is known from Wright's Historia
Histrionica, 1699, that it was a ' large round brick building,'
in this respect differing from the original theatre, which was
square and chiefly of wood. As there is no note of its open-
ing, it was probably not finished until after Michaelmas,
1622,2 when the Diary breaks off. From the summary with
which the volume concludes, Alleyn's expenditure for the
five years ending at that date amounted to 8,504/., of which
1,315/. was spent on the College generally and 802/. on its

building and repairs. Unfortunately no record showing the
exact sources and amount of his receipts has been preserved.
In the following year AUeyn lost his wife Joan, with whom'
he had lived, evidently on most affectionate terms, since 1592.
Among her husband's papers there is not a word about her
illness and death; but, according to the College Register,
she died on 28 June, 1623, and was buried on i July. A
memorial tablet formerly in the chapel added the informa-
tion that she was fifty-one years of age and died without
issue. Just before her death we get some interesting notices
of Alleyn outside the Dulwich collection, which, so far as I
am aware, have not been quoted in any account of him.
The first of these is in connexion with the abortive pre-
parations for the arrival in England of the Infanta Maria as
the bride of Prince Charles and forms part of a letter from
Dr. Meddus to Joseph Mead, dated 5 June, 1623 (Harley
MS. 389, f. 337). Among his items of news Meddus writes
that, in addition to the Duke of Richmond, a number of earls
and others, 'Allein, sometime player, now squire of the
Beares, [and] Inigo Jones, surveyor of the King's works, rode
hence on Tuesday towards Winchester and Southampton to
take order for his Majestie's entertainment, with the Prince's
and the Ladie Marie's.' This is repeated by John Chamber-
lain in a letter to Sir D. Carleton, 14 June {Cal. of State
Papers, 1619-1623, p. 608), and it is added that the object of
the journey was 'for mending the highways and for shows '
and that Alleyn and Inigo Jones alone would have done just
as well without so many Privy Councillors. The same
writer makes another allusion to Alleyn in a letter ' dated
20 Dec. (Cal. of State Papers, 162 3- 162 5, p. 132): 'But
the strangest match in mine opinion is that Allen the player

INTRODUCTION. xxxiii

hath lately married a young daughter of the Dean of Paul's,
which, I doubt, will dinainish his charity and devotion
towards his two hospitals.' Although it did not have the
effect anticipated, the marriage was certainly calculated to
excite surprise. It took place on 3 Dec, 1623, only five
months after the death of Joan AUeyn, having been arranged,
it appears, as early as 2 1 Oct. ; and, while the bridegroom
was fifty-seven years of age, the bride, Constance, daughter
of the celebrated Dr. John Donne, must have been about
twenty at most. On her mother's side she was niece to the
wife of Alleyn's friend and neighbour Sir Thomas Grymes,
in whose company she had dined at Dulwich College before
AUeyn became a widower (p. 193). The whole history of
the match is detailed by Alleyn himself in his very curious
letter to Donne written early in 1625 (p. 115), which Mr.
Collier has printed at length. It is satisfactory to find that
his difference with his father-in-law did not diminish his
fondness for his wife. He speaks of her most affectionately
in his will and, in addition to a settlement of 1,500/., he left
her all her jewels and 100/. for present use.' The larger sum
was secured on his property in Southwark ; but in his letter
to Dr. Donne he refers also to two leases, worth together
250/. a year, which he held besides the estate settled upon
the College. One of these was a lease of the manor and
rectory of Lewisham, the purchase of which for 1,000/. is
recorded in his Diary, 15 Dec, 1620 (p. 187) ; the nature of
the other, which comprised tenements in the Blackfriars,
will be discussed later. Both these properties seem to
have involved him in suits at law (Munn. 183, 184), and, as

neither is named in his will, it may be inferred that they
passed out of his hands some time before his death. The
materials generally for the history of the three years which
he survived his last marriage are extremely meagre, nor is the
meaning of the few documents preserved always intelligible.
It has, however, been reasonably conjectured from a letter of
H. Gibb (p. 112) that Alleyn was making interest in 1624 to
obtain knighthood. The title was one to which, if only as
Master of the Royal Game, he might fairly pretend ; but it
was never conferred, and the wonder is that he cared to have
it. Both his own letter to Dr. Donne and a letter to him
from Sir T. Grymes (p. 115) show that in the beginning of
1625 he was in need of money. Whatever its cause, the dif-
ficulty could only have been temporary, since in the following
year he was able to purchase an estate of some kind in York-
shire. The locality of this property has been until now unde-
termined ; but there can be no doubt that it was situated at
Simondstone, in Aysgarth (p. 116, n. i). There is evidence
(p. 117) that Alleyn paid it a visit in July, 1626, and it is not
improbable that the journey brought on the illness which
ultimately proved fatal. The last extant letter addressed to
him is dated 14 Oct., 1626 (p. 117). He was then, as was
thought, ' towards a recovery,' but he died o n Saturday. 2S
yov. This date rests on the unexceptionable authority of
Matthias Alleyn, his executor and the first Warden (Collier,
Memoirs, p. 182); and, according to the Register (below,
p. 196), he was buried on the Monday following. So far as
appears, he never had any children,; and at the time of his
■death he had passed his sixtieth year by nearly three months.
His will, dated 13 Nov., 1626, is preserved in the Registry of
the Prerogative Court of Canterbury and has been' printed
by Mr. Collier {Alleyn Papers, p. xxi.). Its opening sen-
tences are characterised by the same deep religious feeling

INTRODUCTION. xxxv

which found expression in the hymn on p. 120 and in such
pious entries in his Diary as may be seen on pp. 173, 185,
194; and his desire was 'without any vain funeral pomp or
show to be interred in the quire of that chapel which God of
his goodness hath caused me to erect and dedicate to the
honor of my Saviour by the name of Christs Chappell in
Gods Gift College,' &c. Besides the provision for his widow,
before mentioned, bequests were made to several of his rela-
tions and dependents ; and even Sir F. Calton, with whom
latterly he had been on unsatisfactory terms, received 100/.
and the remission of a long-standing debt of 20/. His executors
w^ere also required to build within two years ten almshouses
in each of the parishes of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, and St.
Saviour, Southwark, the inmates of which, as well as of the
ten which he had already built in Cripplegate (p. 185), were
to be regarded as members of the Dulwich foundation. To
his native parish of St. Botolph for the good of the poor was
further given the 'Blew House' in Dulwich (Mun. 521), which
it still retains. The estates which formed the endowment of
the College had already been settled ; but, in addition, he
bequeathed to it ' as an augmentation ' the residue, after the
payment of legacies, of two leases of the Unicorn Inn and of
tenements called the Barge, the Bell, and the Cock, in South-
wark, together with a quantity of furniture, goods and farm
implements. Finally, he left his lands in Yorkshire, also
subject to the payment of legacies, to Thomas and Matthias
Alleyn, his executors, apparently in their private capacity
and not as Master and Warden. On 29 Sept. preceding he
had signed the Statutes and Ordinances of his College of
God's Gift, which had no doubt been prepared long before ;
and the last recorded act of his life was. to add two clauses
on 20 Nov. (Mun. 594). In the first of these he reserved to
himself the right of making additions or alterations and of

nominating or displacing the members, ' at any time or times-
during my life ' ; in the other he confirmed the destination of
the leases above, with an injunction upon the College to use
their utmost endeavours to get them renewed. Upon the
subject of the Statutes in general it is impossible to enter
within available limits, and it is beyond the scope of this
Introduction to attempt anything like a history of Dulwich
College. With the exception of the two clauses above men-
tioned, they are printed at length in Blanch's Dulwich College,.
1 877. Not the least noteworthy feature in them is the extent
to which they modify the constitution of the College as origi-
nally laid down in the Patent and Deed of Foundation, the
effect, in one direction, being to establish a public school of
the ordinary type, with no restriction on admission beyond a
preference given to residents at Dulwich.

It will have been observed that more than one allusion is
made in the preceding pages to the presence among the
Dulwich manuscripts of modern fabrications. Attention has
of course been directed to all such cases, as they occur, in the
Catalogue, but the subject is too important not to be referred
to here. Besides the letter of Joan Alleyn (p. 26), the treat-
ment of which is peculiar, there are in the collection no less
than twenty-two actual forgeries, which, however, by counting
under one head those which relate to the same subject, may
be reduced to eighteen. The general motive which underlies
them all is identical — namely, a desire on the part of the forger
to palm off upon the world supposititious facts in connexion
with Shakespeare and the other early dramatists. Six
of the most glaring of the number have long since been
thoroughly exposed. I shall have but little therefore to say
about these, beyond expressing my unhesitating agreement
in the verdict passed upon them ; indeed, it is difficult ta

INTRODUCTION, xxxvii

Relieve that any one at all familiar with the handwriting of
the period to which they profess to belong could fail to
recognise at once their imitative character. As is well known,
the question of their genuineness was the subject of vehement
debate during the so-called ' Shakspere Controversy ' which
raged twenty years ago. For my own part, however, I entered
upon my present task entirely unaffected by the heat of a
conflict which I can barely remember ; or, if I had a bias
either way, it was a natural disinclination to depreciate the
value and authenticity of materials which I had undertaken
to catalogue. But the evidence supplied by a systematic
examination of every volume and paper in the collection is
irresistible ; and, so far from being able to defend any one of
the documents already impugned, I am compelled to add to
them other forgeries which appear to have hitherto remained
unnoticed or at least have not been publicly stigmatised.
At the same time I take the opportunity of stating that my
own opinion in every case is confirmed by that of Mr. E. M.
Thompson, Keeper of MSS. in the British Museum, whose
exceptionally high authority as an acute and experienced
palaeographer will be universally admitted.

The credit of being the first to detect the handiwork of a
.modern impostor among the Alleyn Papers belongs to Mr.
N. E. S. A. Hamilton. In the course of his researches in
-connexion with the Perkins Folio Shakespeare Mr. Hamilton
was led to examine other documents, which, like the alleged
seventeenth century annotations in that notorious volume,
had been published at various times by Mr. John Payne Collier.
The result of his investigations appeared in 1 860 in a volume
the title of which will be found below (p. 4). Among the
-documents there ably criticised are four belonging to the
Dulwich collection, which were first printed in Mr. Collier's
Memoirs of Edw. Alleyn. Two of these were rightly con-

xxxviii INTRODUCTION.

demned by Mr. Hamilton as forgeries from beginning to end,
viz. the verses ' Sweete Nedde, nowe wynne an other wager,'
mentioning 'Willes newe playe' (p. 4), and the letter of
Marston the dramatist to Henslowe (p. 49) ; the third is a
genuine document, to which a spurious list bf players, includ-
ing Shakespeare, has been added (p. 27) ; and the fourth is
Mrs. AUeyn's letter to her husband, referred to above (p. 26).
In this instance the letter itself has not been tampered with —
in fact, from the rotten condition of the paper it would have
been impossible to write upon it— but the printed version
included a passage concerning Shakespeare, which is not
in the original and can hardly be accounted for on any
theory assuming the editor's honesty of purpose. In addition
to the above, two more forgeries were exposed by Mr. H.
Staunton in the same year in his Life of Shakespeare, and
again, in more scathing style, by Dr. C. M. Ingleby in his
Complete View of the Shakspere Controversy, 1861. These
are a list of certain inhabitants of Southwark in 1596 (p. 13)
and a poor's rate assessment for the Clink Liberty in 1609
(p. 30). Both documents contain the name of Shakespeare,
and both were first printed by Mr. Collier. With regard to
the assessment list, it is somewhat strange that neither Mr.
Staunton nor Dr. Ingleby mentions the first and more re-
markable of the two copies. I need not, however, repeat what
I have said on this subject in the Catalogue, and I will only
call attention to the characteristic subtlety shown by the
forger in altering the sums opposite the names which follow
his interpolation of ' M"" Shakespeare — vi'^.' The object of
this apparently gratuitous falsification was to remove any
ground for suspicion which might have arisen from the amount
of Shakespeare's assessment, when those immediately above
and below him paid respectively twopence and a penny. In
1868 Dr. Ingleby again came forward with evidence of an

INTRODUCTION. xxxix

interpolation in Mr. Collier's printed version of a paper
relating to Thomas Lodge. In this case also two copies of
the same document are extant. This fact, which appears to
have been unknown both to Mr. Collier and his critic, led
to some confusion, as may be seen in the remarks on p. 15.
But, although the copy used by Mr. Collier does contain
the passage as he published it, there are particular words
which are undoubtedly spurious; and Dr. Ingleby's con-
clusion, in so far as he denied that the original stated that
Lodge was an actor, was perfectly correct.

As I have already stated, some of the papers which, before
the collection was arranged, were thought to be lost have
again come to light. Among them is the letter purporting to
be written by R. Veale (p. 13), which Mr. Collier first printed
in 1844 and again as recently as 1879.^ Referring to it, Mr.
Staunton {Life of Shakespeare, i860, p. 31) wrote: 'The
third of these papers has been sought for in vain, and I fear,
like nine-tenths of the so-called " New Facts " relative to the
life of Shakespeare, is not entitled to the smallest credence.'
That this fear was amply justified will be evident to any im-
partial person who examines the actual document now re-
covered and observes particularly the laboriously careful
manner in which the forger has copied a genuine signature
lying before him.

All the forgeries above enumerated have already been
openly denounced or marked as strongly suspicious, but the
responsibility of condemning the remainder rests with myself
If, however, they have hitherto escaped notice, it is not so
much because they are more skilfully executed as because
they have probably never before been subjected to a rigorous

given that its genuineness has ever been called in question ; nor has any of the

scrutiny. All of them, in fact, belong to the same most
insidious class, and no doubt owe their immunity in a great
measure to the genuine character of their surroundings, a
mere interpolation, it may be of a single word, being easily
passed over where a document wholly spurious would at once
challenge attention. A typical example of the forger's in-
genuity and method will be found on p. i8. The intro-
duction here and there of such names as ' Lear,' ' Romeo,'
'Pericles,' &c., has had the effect, which was of course
intended, of making an inventory of theatrical costumes
' much more important and interesting than a mere list of
dresses would be supposed to be.' The words quoted are
Mr. ColHer's {Memoirs of Edw. Allcyn,^. 17) ; and the gravity
with which he dilates on the significance of these names will
excite different feelings in the mind of the reader, according
to the opinion he is inclined to hold with regard to Mr.
ColHer's own share in the imposture.

The interpolations in Henslowe's Diary (pp. 158-162) are
characterised by still greater audacity ; and we can only be
thankful that the hand, which did not scruple to tamper with
the names of Nash, Marlow, Dekker, and Webster, stopped
short of Shakespeare. Reverence, we may be sure, had
nothing to do with the omission, which was more probably
the result of a deliberate calculation of the chances of dis-
covery. The risk in this case was of course proportionately
greater. Although Malone in his extracts from the Diary
might possibly have omitted the entries relating to less noted
dramatists, he must infallibly have mentioned the occurrence
of Shakespeare's name; and its alleged discovery therefore
by a later writer was too likely to provoke troublesome en-
quiries. But, as it is, when we are asked to believe that all
the eight fabricated entries formed part of the manuscript in
the time of Malone, the assumption does violence to all pro-

INTRODUCTION. xli

bability, since it involves the remarkable coincidence that,
from some unaccountable fatality, he missed every one of
them, and that too although four at least are anything but
inconspicuous. On the other hand, it may be suggested that
if any one inserted them, it was Malone himself, in which
case it must have been after the appearance of his Historical
Account of the English Stage, with a view to future use for
a second edition or on some other fitting opportunity. To
this it is almost enough to reply that there is nothing in all
Malone's published writings to justify the least suspicion that
he was capable of forgery ; but such an argument may be
met by a still stronger objection. If these and the other
Dulwich forgeries stood alone it might perhaps be admissible.
It is, however, notorious that they belong to a connected
series which culminates in the Perkins Folio, and the rami-
fications of which are found in places and documents to which
it cannot be pretended that Malone ever had access. There
is, indeed, the strongest reason for believing that one at least
of the entries in Henslowe's Diary was not written until
shortly before 1845, when it was first printed in Mr. Collier's
edition of the MS. This is the forgery of the name of the
pretended play 'Galfrido and Bernardo.' Thanks to Mr.
Collier's instructive note, quoted on p. 158, the approximate
date of the entry, as well as its particular object, which would
otherwise have been obscure, may be easily divined ; for it
could only have been foisted in for the purpose of giving
additional interest to the poem by John Drout on the same
subject, an unique copy of which had been only recently
discovered. And this being so, a pertinent question at once
suggests itself, whether we have not here an important clue
to the authorship of the forgery — whether, in short, any one
was likely to have been at the pains to concoct ari allusion to
Drout's poem who was not more or less immediately con-

c

cerned in its discovery or re-publication. Unfortunately the
mystery, itself a little suspicious, which is observed in the
preface to the re-print prevents this clue from being easily
followed up. Excepting the two ' remarkable entries ' about
Robin Goodfellow (p. 162), which were also first printed in
1845, the rest of the forgeries in Henslowe's Diary must be
of somewhat older date, since they all figure prominently in
Mr. Collier's History of Dramatic Poetry, published in 183 1.
As I have treated each separately in its place, I will only
observe that, on lately examining once again the entry
quoted on p. 161, I found additional evidence of trickery, if
any were wanted. The forgery of Webster's name, which is
written above the word ' gwisse ' or ' Guise,' was not a
success; and even Mr. Collier remarked that it was 'perhaps'
in a different hand. But, badly executed as it is, it seems to
have been the result of a second attempt, for below the line
are unmistakable traces of an erasure, so carefully made and
smoothed over as scarcely to be detected except from the
thinness of the paper. In this case luckily there was no
possibility of destroying a failure by the simple process, which
has too probably been elsewhere adopted, of cutting it bodily
out of the volume.'

I now pass on to the interpolations, six in number, which
are to be found in Alleyn's own Diary. Between these and
the other Dulwich forgeries there is one very remarkable
difference. The latter, as we have seen, have all been printed,
and, as a simple statement of fact, it is necessary to add,
printed first in every instance by Mr. Collier. With the
forgeries in Alleyn's Diary it is otherwise, for I cannot find
that they have been published or referred to either by Mr.

Collier or any one else. Of the two spurious notices of
Shakespeare's As you like it (p. 170) and Romeo {^. 175) there
is nothing more to be said except that the forgery is gross
and palpable ; nor, in the latter case, has the forger weakened
the effect of the evidence against him by a desperate attempt
to erase the words. He was equally unsuccessful with his
entry about 'poor Tom Dekker' (p. 183), which was so
clearly suggested by the imprisoned poet's letters on p. 51.
Here too he has tried hard to destroy what he had written,
but was again prevented by the absorbent nature of the
paper. The inserted 'B. Jonson' (p. 179) is noteworthy, not
only as the single instance in which this name has been
fraudulently introduced into the collection, but from the fact
that Mr. Collier, writing in 1841 {Memoirs, p. 154), stated
that Jonson was not mentioned in the Diary. For the
dexterity with which advantage has been taken of an entry
originally left incomplete, this forgery may be profitably
compared with that of ' Robin Goodfellow ' in Henslowe's
Diary. But of all the interpolations in this MS. the most
curious and instructive are the two on pp. 172, 174. The
motive for the insertion of the words ' of the playhouse ' and
^ theatre ' cannot possibly be mistaken, and the subject must
be considered in connexion with Mr. Collier's ' facts tendino-
to prove that Alleyn became the purchaser of Shakespeare's
property in the Blackfriars Theatre' {Memoirs of Edw.
Alleyn, pp. 103 seqq.). The date Mr. Collier fixes for
Shakespeare's final departure from London is the spring of
1612 ; and he goes on to say that 'it seems very likely, from
evidence now for the first time to be adduced,' that his
(alleged) interest in the theatre passed to Alleyn as above.
The ' facts ' upon which he relies are two. The first is thus
introduced : ' Among the miscellaneous scraps of paper at
Dulwich College is one which appears to be a rough me-

morandum, in AUeyn's handwriting, of various sums paid by
him in April, 1612, for the Blackfriars; and though the
theatre is not there expressly named, it will be rendered
evident hereafter that it was the " play-house." The paper is
precisely in this form : —

Although this paper is nowhere to be found, it cannot of
course be assumed that it never existed; but at the same
time, as I shall presently show, it is in the highest degree im-
probable that the date was as Mr. Collier has given it. Be
this, however, as it may, the most that the paper can be
taken to prove is that AUeyn held property of some kind
in the Blackfriars ; and of this there was never any doubt.
Mr. Collier's second 'fact' would, on the contrary, be
conclusive enough, if it were only authentic. Such as
it is, it will be found on p. 115, in the four words 'as the
plaiehowse theare/ craftily interlined, where a fraud of this
nature would be least suspected, in Alleyn's letter to Dr.
Donne. That this forgery and the two in Alleyn's Diary
above were written by the same hand and for the purpose of
affording one another a mutual support, is self-evident ; the
strange thing is that, although Mr. Collier printed the first
he did not print the others, but actually quoted at length
the genuine entry in which one of them occurs without the
interpolation. Whatever the explanation of this, his theory
that Alleyn's Blackfriars property comprised the theatre has
absolutely no foundation to rest upon. It might be enough
to have pointed out that the only evidence in its favour is
undeniably of modern manufacture ; but it is possible to go

INTRODUCTION. xlv

still further. On Mr. Collier's own showing the property-
referred to in the paper above is identical with that
constantly mentioned by Alleyn in his Diary, for which he
paid 1 60/. a year rent to Edm. Traves. But, so far from
having been acquired, as Mr. Collier makes out, in or before
April, 1612, it did not come into his hands until Shakespeare
had been dead for nearly a year. The real date of his lease,
as we now know from Mun. 184 (p. 271), was 26 Mar., 1617 ;
and it cannot therefore be too rash to conjecture that Mr.
Collier's date is a misreading of the later year. In this way
too we get an easy solution of what is otherwise a singular
fact ; for, if the date 161 2 were correct, the transaction ought
to be found recorded in Alleyn's Memorandum-Book (MS.
viii.), where similar purchases are entered down to 16 14.
But there can be no stronger proof that the building which
Alleyn was anxious to save from demolition in August, 161 8,
was not the Blackfriars Theatre than the sheriff's return in
the Record Office quoted on p. 173. The language of this
document is sufficiently precise ; and, apart from the fact that
the theatre was not a new building and so did not come under
the statute, its situation, if at all represented by Playhouse
Yard, makes its identity with Alleyn's houses in Swan Alley,
which was at the other end of the parish, simply impossible.
All the cases of forgery detected have now been briefly
touched upon,' but the very serious question of their author-
ship has yet to be decided. Here, however, the reader must
be left to draw his own conclusions. This is not a contro-
versial work, and the subject cannot be adequately discussed
without going beyond the Dulwich collection and bringing
into evidence the entire system of closely analogous im-

in fraudulent manipulation.

postures which found their way into print in the second
quarter of the present century. Although it is impossible to
ignore the fact that Mr. Collier, who gave them to the world
as genuine matter, has been distinctly charged with their
fabrication, it is no part of my duty either to arraign or de-
fend him. Having stated the facts, just as they stand, with
regard to the Dulwich series, with which alone I am con-
cerned, and having, as I hope, secured the collection from
the risk of being similarly tampered with in the future, I have
done all that is necessary; and if Mr. Collier's name has
been , specially prominent, the blame rests with himself..
Even on the most charitable supposition, the ease with which
he allowed himself to be imposed upon argues the most
extraordinary carelessness and incapacity. On one point
I think no doubt need be entertained. Although the style
of handwriting adopted varies considerably and exhibits
different degrees of imitative skill, my own decided opinion
is that all the forgeries here were executed by one and the
same person, whoever he may have been ; and, looking both
to their appearance and character, I certainly see no cause for
making an exception of those in Alleyn's Diary. As the
latter were doubtless meant for use and not inserted in mere
wantonness, it would be interesting to learn whether an
edition of the MS. was ever contemplated and, if so, by whom.
It may be laid down as a general rule that literary frauds of
the kind found at Dulwich are not concocted by one person
in order that the benefit of them may be reaped by another ;.
but there may conceivably be exceptions. After Malone's
death there is nothing to show whether any one used the
MSS. before Mr. Collier ; but, while the earlier forgeries need
not be anterior in date to 1831, the most recent may be as.
late as 1845 or, in the case of Alleyn's Diary, later still. At
the most, there could only have been a very few persons wha

INTRODUCTION. xlvii

had access to the collection, and who, at the same time,
were keenly enough interested in dramatic history not to
shrink from actual fabrication in order to support particular
theories or to have the credit of discovering new facts of
professed importance.

Of the Alleyn collection in general nothing more need here
be said ; but the Court-Rolls of Dulwich manor, which have
been very briefly catalogued, claim some notice. Independ-
ently of their genealogical and topographical value, it is
superfluous to point out the interest of this particular class of
record for the history of English nomenclature. There is no
deficiency in this respect in the series at Dulwich, and in the
earlier rolls especially a variety of surnames may be traced
back to their primitive forms. Thus, to take a few examples
only, there are, from nationality, le Freynsshe' and le
Welsche, Inglysshe, Pycard, and Scot ; from residence. By the
Wode and Atte Wode, Atte Styghele and Atte Style, Atte
Dene and Adene, In the Lane and Adlane, Atte Naysshe,
Atte Welle, and the like, besides of course the many local
names of the kind represented by Shrowesbury, de Waldene,
and de Boloyne. Equally prominent are the names denoting
occupation or office. Among others, they include le Cartere,
le Webbe, le Mareschal, le Meleward, le Sephurde, le Taburer
—whence Tabor— la Kembestre, a female comber or wool-
carder— whence Kempster — and Spyndelman, a maker of
spindles. Mental and moral qualities account for Margaret la
Wyse and for Godeman ; bodily characteristics for le White,
Baldhevd, and Alice Whiteleg, though the last has been also
derived from the Saxon Wihtlsg. In addition to these are

' Hence Frenchfield, in Dulwich (p. 282). In the same way nearly all the
names of lands mentioned in the terrier on p. 135 and elsewhere, such as Annes-
field, Browninges, Napps, Rigates, Spilmans, &c., date back from the earliest
Rolls.

xlviii INTRODUCTION.

to be found le Brand, Courteour, and Hordappel ; together
with Juliana Kacheuache and Alice Wrekedod or Wreke-
doddys, neither of which is easy to explain. Kachevache,
indeed, is strongly suggestive of Kekewich, but the family who
bear this name are supposed to have obtained it from a
place called Kekewick in Cheshire. The jingle again recalls
the term kicky-wicky or kicksy-wicksy, disdainfully applied
by Parolles to a wife.' As to the other name, ' duds ' being
a well-known cant-word for clothes, Alice Wreck-duds may
possibly represent a fourteenth-century equivalent for Shake-
speare's Doll Tear-sheet. The common use of the prefix le
or la, by which our ancestors supplied the want of a definite
article in Latin, will be remarked, and it leads to the infer-
ence that some, if not most, of the above names were as yet
merely indicative of the individual. And, even after they
became, so to speak, stereotyped patronymics, new surnames
were no doubt continually being formed. One variety of the
process is exhibited here in the case of Robert Aylmer, alias
Goodsone, where an alternative personal epithet — whether
at first applied in compliment or irony, or merely meaning
' godson ' — appears afterwards to have supplanted altogether
the original surname, itself turning into Goosone and ultimately
perhaps into Gosson. Gradual changes of the same kind, by
which family names took their existing shapes, are elsewhere
also seen actively at work, and in the succession of rolls we get
such transitions as those of Spyndelman into Spyleman and
Spilman, In the Lane into Lane, and Atte Bregge into Brigges.
As curiosities of the fifteenth century I may instance Pottes-
blode, Goldman, the romantic Gawayn, Pyebaker, Drynk-

' He wears his honour in a box unseen.

water, Longswete, Laweman, Ida Inquirour and Thomas
Deville. The last, which is probably the same as Dybbyll (p.
276), is perhaps not so bad a name as it looks. The sixteenth
century yields Cownsellor, Sharparowe, and, worst of all,
Bugbeard.' Another historically interesting name makes its
appearance, temp. Elizabeth, in Becket, of the same origin
probably as ' Thomas Becke, son of Giles a Becke,' who was
steward of the manor.

With regard to the subject-matter of the Rolls, I can only
refer briefly to a few of the more remarkable presentments at
the court of the manor. The earliest specially worth quoting
is in 1399, when complaint was made that ' quidam male-
factores qui dicuntur Lumbardes ' came with ferrets and traps
into the Lord's warren for the purpose of catching rabbits.
The term Lumbardes ^ is very curious. It appears to be
employed generically to denote a particular class of evil-doers,
but how they came to be so designated it is difficult to under-
stand. Although the Lombard merchants of London were
open to charges of usurious dealings, poaching was about the
last offence to which they were likely to be addicted. It is
just possible, however, that a contemptuous abuse of their
name was one result of their general unpopularity at this
period. Evidence that they were in ill-favour at the begin-
ning of the reign of Henry IV. is found in the Chronicle of
Adam of Usk (ed. E. M. Thompson, p. 53), who speaks of
severe restrictions being placed upon them in 1400.

The Roll for 1402 contains the first of a long series of
entries relating to Romseluer. Under this head \d. was then
claimed for the Lord from every tenant owning beasts to the

value of lod., the authority of an old Custumary being adduced
in support of the contention. The tenants, however, denied
all knowledge of such a custom, and it was therefore resolved
to examine the Rolls to discover when it was last presented
and how it fell into disuse. Although the result of this
enquiry is not stated, it was evidently in favour of the Lord,
the payment being regularly made from 1403 onwards. It
is entered under a multiplicity of forms, such as Romseluer,
Rompans, Rompeny, Romppeny, Rumpepeny, Rumppenys,
Romppenes, and Rome pence. Notwithstanding the simi-
larity of name, it can hardly have had anything to do with
the so-called Peter's pence, paid yearly to the Pope. It con-
tinued to be paid after this impost was suppressed by Henry
VIII. in 1534, and latterly it is represented as a customary
payment for the right of common pasture.

Besides the ordinary business relating to the descent and
transfer of land, which was held ' per virgam,' the court, as
usual, took cognisance of various offences and breaches of
manorial rights. Cases of assault, the use of false measures,
the breaking of the assise of bread and beer, neglect to clear
watercourses, and such like, are of constant occurrence. Fines
too were imposed for digging turf 'in solo domini,' for cutting
down a tree to take a swarm of bees, for tearing wool off a
sheep's back, and for milking other people's cows ; and in 1440
several persons were amerced for not coming ' ad le Bedrepe
in autumpno, ut debuerunt, quum summoniti fuerunt,' the so-
called Bid-reap being a day's service at harvest due to the
Lord. The reign of Henry VII. seems to have been a
quarrelsome period in the manor. Assailants were no longer
content with drawing blood ' cum i baculo,' but had recourse
to the more formidable ' hokebill,' ' pychfork,' and ' hanger ' ;
and the fines had to be raised from 4</. to \s. and \s, %d.
One Richard Lane showed himself especially unmanageable.

INTR OD UCTION.

and in 1487 he shared with John Lane and two women the
distinction of being presented as ' communes garulatores et
pacem [pacis] domini regis perturbatores.' The effect upon
him, however, was but slight, for he was in trouble again the
next year, and he was fined for assault with a ' hokyd byll '
as late as 1523. Another class of bad character appears in
1522 in the person of John Wylkokes, who had to pay ioj.
'quia custodit hospicium vocatum a blynde ostery et sup-
portat homines et mulieres mate gubernacionis.' Later in the
same reign, in 1533, we get an ordinance forbidding the col-
lection of ' les crabbes ' before St. Bartholomew's Day, 24
Aug.; and in 1564 the whole homage were commanded
under penalty to look to the proper placing of the ' meare
stones,' or boundary marks. At the same court — to select
one such instance out of many — John Bagger was fined \s.
for selling beer ' per le pottes vocatos stone cruses et non per
le pottes sigillatos cum sigillc'

Several other entries in Elizabeth's reign attest the enforce-
ment of the well-known statute 33 Hen. VIII. cap. ix. for the
encouragement of archery and the restraint of unlawful games.
Thus in 1574 a number of persons were presented 'quia
luserunt apud quoddam certamen illicitum vocatum Loggettes.'
Logget is a diminutive form of log, and the game was played
by throwing small staves or billets of wood at a stake fixed
in the ground.' It answered therefore to the modern 'Aunt
Sally ' more closely than to nine-pins, with which it has some-
times been identified. Again, in 1 578 Christopher Curson was
fined 6s. 8d. for playing ' apud cartas lusorias vocatas cardes,'
and in 1587 John Lewes and others had each to pay 4ci. for
playing ' ad globos,' or bowls. The same game is apparently
referred to in a presentment made in 1597, that Thos.

lii INTRODUCTION.

Calton and eleven more ' gobulaverunt in aperto loco contra
formam statuti.' The party in this case got off cheaply with
a penalty of 2d. a head. In 1576 there are two entries of a
man being fined 3J. 4</. 'quia usus est galliro in die dominica' ;
Tvhere 'galliro' doubtless stands for 'galero,' a hat. The
penalty was incurred under the statute 1 3 Eliz., cap. xix.,
1570, by which every person above seven years of age, ex-
cepting the nobility and others, was compelled to wear upon
Sundays and holy-days 'a cap of wool knit, thicked and
dressed in England,' &c.^ This was for the benefit of the
English cappers, multitudes of whom, according to the pre-
amble of the statute 8 Eliz., cap. xi., 1565, were 'impoverished
and decayed by the excessive use of hats and felts.'

Walter Boane, fined \s. 'for a drounkard ' in 161 1, is only
worth mentioning as a melancholy example of confirmed evil
habits. The man became a poor-brother of Dulwich College
in 1619, and his bibulous propensities are more than once re-
ferred to in the Founder's Diary. The last entry which I shall
quote from the Rolls is dated April, 1 622. It records that Theo-
<lore Owle was fined 40J. because his ' penny wheaten bredd '
weighed but 7| ounces, whereas, wheat being sold at the last
market for 40J. the quarter, it ought to have weighed 12
■ounces or more.

It still remains that I should say a few words on the subject
-of the manuscripts which are not included in the Alleyn collec-
tion proper. The only volumes in the body of the Catalogue
which call for remark are those relating to the two collections
■of pictures bequeathed to the College by William Cartwright
.and Sir Peter Francis Bourgeois. In dealing with Cartwright's

autograph catalogue (MS. xiv.) I have contented myself with
extracting the titles of the portraits, which alone possess any in-
terest ; and I have added such brief explanatory notes as seemed
necessary. The contents of MS. xvi. are more important, and
have been more fully treated. Among them, the letters
addressed by Le Brun, the picture-dealer, to Noel Desenfans,,
the original collector of what is now known as the Dulwich
College Gallery, are sufficiently curious and interesting to be
printed at length, although it is unfortunately not possible to
trace many of the pictures to which the writer refers. I have also
reproduced in full the list of the collection of Desenfans drawn
up by himself for the purpose of insurance in 1804. As an au-
thentic record of its extent at that date, with the owner's opinion
as to the authorship and money's worth of each picture, the list
is of considerable value ; and it is a pity that its existence was
not made known in time enough for notice to be taken of it in
the Catalogue of the Dulwich Gallery recently published.

The manuscripts included in the Appendix are of a more
miscellaneous character and range over a longer period. Two
of the earliest, MSS. xxii. and xxiv., deserve particular notice.
The former is made up of fragments of several manuscripts con-
nected together probably not later than the fifteenth century,
but the most important article is the English poem on the Life
of Christ. Though it would be rash to assert that the copy is
unique, I know of no other, and it has no small philological
interest. MS. xxiv. contains part of Robert Mannyng's well-
known poem Handlyng Synne, copies of which, however, are
so rare that the discovery of another, even in a mutilated con-
dition, is welcome. Among the later volumes, the most in-
teresting are the political tracts, MSS. xxviii., xxix., xxxi., and
XXXV. The first of these has the distinction of being the
original copy presented by the author to Sir Christopher
Hatton ; and, addressed as it is by the Clerk of the Privy

liv INTRODUCTION.

Council to the Lord Chancellor, the doctrine laid down in it
is somewhat startling. Osborne's translation of a speech of
^schines (MS. xxvii.) is also the original, dedicated to Sir C.
Hatton ; and the fact that the letters in MS. xxxv. are ad-
dressed to one of Hatton's descendants makes it probable
that some of the other volumes belonged to the same family.
They must have come to Dulwich at some time after 1689,
when the above letters were written, but how they found their
way thither is a mystery.

In conclusion, I desire to express my obligations to the
Governors of the College for the readiness with which they
agreed to my suggestions with regard to the plan of the
Catalogue, and for the general freedom and indulgence ac-
corded me during its preparation. I have further to thank
the Rev. William Rogers, the Chairman, for giving me facilities
for the inspection of the register of AUeyn's native parish of
St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, of which he is Rector ; and to Mr.
William Young, another member of the Court, I am indebted
for the loan of some highly interesting and useful notes, which
I venture to hope he will hereafter expand into a history of
the College. From the Rev. Alfred Carver, D.D., the Master,
I have throughout received cordial assistance, though I have too
often been compelled to trespass upon his valuable time. Dr.
Carver's interest in the collection is of long standing. A
proposal that the manuscripts should be arranged and cata-
logued was made by him, as I am informed, twenty years ago ;
but, although it was at once sanctioned by the Governors,
various circumstances made it advisable to defer the execution
of the design till a more favourable opportunity. Lastly, I
must record my sense of the kindness of my friend and official
chief, Mr. E. M. Thompson, who has not only given me the
benefit of his constant advice, but has read all the sheets in
their passage through the press.

to Mr. J. P. Collier {Hist, of Dram. Poetry, &c., ed. 1879, vol. iii. p. 332), the
earliest mention of him is in 1589, when T. Nash dedicated to him his Almond
for a Parrot; and he appears to have been alive so late as 1605. The terms,
however, in which he is addressed by Nash show that his reputation was then
fully established, and he may have been quite a young man when this letter was

written. The name was a common one, as Mr. Collier shows ; but he does not
mention Will. Kempe, son of Steph. Kempe, of Broxbourne, apprenticed to Will.
Cooke, I Nov., 1566 (Stationers' Register, ed. Arber, vol. i. p. 146^), or Will.
Kemp, whose marriage to Cole Holwyn is entered in the register of St. Botolph's,
Bishopsgate, 13 June, 1568. Mr. Jos. Hunter {Chorus Vatum Anglicanorum,
Brit. Mus., Add. MS. 24487, f. 128) gives some reasons in favour of a not very
probable theory that the actor was identical with Will. Kemp, of Spain's Hall
Essex, who imposed on himself a vow of silence for seven years on account of idle
words he had spoken. In that case he was born in 1555, and died in 1628. The
occurrence of the name of Anthony Babington in the same letter is curious for a
Will. Kempe was the author of A Dutifull Invective against the most Haynous
Treasons of Ballard and Babington, 1587. The Anthony Babington here
mentioned was probably an older member of the same family as the conspirator
perhaps Anth. Babington, of Tymmore, buried at Lichfield, 16 Mar., 1579

certain, refers to the same expedition, the mention of Mrs. Alleyn is curious, since
Alleyn was not yet married to Joan Woodward. It is some slight evidence, there-
fore, in favour of the tradition that he was three times married. See Memoirs,

Rich. Jones, as appears from Henslowe's Diary, was back in England between
.the years 1594 and 1601, but he seems to have been again abroad before Hens-
lowe's death in Jan., 1615-6 (see below, artt. Ill, 112). Rob. Browne was at
Leyden with a company in Oct., 1590. Cohn wrongly supposes that he was
AUeyn's stepfather (see above, art. 2) ; but he is right, perhaps, in identifying him
with Rob. Browne, who accompanied the Earl of Lincoln on an embassy to Cassel
in 1596. The latter, however, may have been a messenger of the Privy Chamber
ofthe same name (Ca/. 5i'ffl/«/'3/e«, 1598-1601, pp. 191, 192, &c.). A Rob.

13. Phil. Henslowe to Edw. Alleyn : all send hearty
commendations and are glad to hear of his good health, for
they heard that he had been very sick at Bath and that
another had played his part ; they feared much because they
had no letter when the other wives had, and his ' mowse '
wept not a little, thinking he had conceived some unkindness
of her ; prays him to continue to write, as they themselves
would do oftener if they knew where to send ; they received
a letter written at ' Seant James tide,' ' mentioning his 'whitte
wascote ' and his 'Ivte bockes,' and another which Peter ^
brought with his horse ; his wife prays night and day for his
health, and that God may ' seace his hand ' in order that she
may have him home again ; the garden is doing very well,
and the ' beanes are growen to hey headge and well coded,' but
his tenants ' weax very power ' and can pay no rent ; the
joiner says he will make 'such good stufe and suche good
peneworthes ' as he hopes will content him ; as for his counsel
to keep the house clean, &c., they do this and more, for they
' strowe yt withe hartie prayers vnto the lorde ' ; prays him to

and his two ' wenches ' have had it, but have recovered, and he,
his wife, and two daughters are very well ; the market at Smith-
field was very bad, and as no one offered more than 4/. for
his [Alleyn's] horse, it has been sent into the country till his
return ; as for his cloak, there was no cloth sold by retail, but
all was bought up wholesale in two days, ' so the fayre lasted

This letter, which is on a slip of paper measuring 8x2 inches,
is an obvious forgery. It is closely connected in subject with the
petition in the Public Record Office, printed, as genuine, by Mr.
Collier, Hist, of Dram. Poetry, ed. 1831, vol. i. p. 298 (ed. 1879, i-
288), but officially condemned as a forgery. See Hamilton, Enquiry,
p. 96 ; Ingleby, Shakspere Controversy, p. 289. The body of the
letter appears to be in the same hand as the spurious certificate, of
which a facsimile is given by Dr. Ingleby, p. 248, sheet x., no. iii. ^
and the signature is a careful imitation of the signatures to receipts
of Rich. Veale on behalf of Edmund Tylney, Master of the Revels^

ture first written, ' p me Rich. Veale,' is scored through with the pen.

time in the Memoirs of Edw. Alleyn, p. 45, runs as follows :— ' The
truth is, right honorable, that one Thos. Lodge beinge aboute
a yeare nowe paste arrested within the Libertie of the Clinck
(wheare I am a dweller) att the suite of the said Toppin, uppon an
action of debte, and haveinge some knowledge and acquaintaunce of
him as a player, requested me to be his baile ' ; and Mr. Collier ad-
duces this as a proof that Lodge was an actor as well as a dramatist.
In the original draft, however, the sentence ends, ' and haveinge of
me some knowledge and acquaintaunce requested me to be his baile ' ;
but the words ' of me ' have been cancelled, and ' of him as a player,'
together with ' Tho.' before ' Lodge ' higher up, have been inserted
between the lines in a hand different from that in which all the rest
of the corrections are made. As these latter corrections alone, and
that too without exception, are found in the fair copy, it is obvious that
the alterations quoted above are of later date ; and they have all the
appearance of a modern forgery. Mr. CoUier makes no reference to
the fair copy, and was probably unaware of its existence ; while, on the
other hand. Dr. Ingleby had certainly not seen the draft, when he printed
the document from the fair copy, with a facsimile, in his tract Was
Thomas Lodge an Actor?, 1868, and argued upon the assumption that
it was the identical paper described and printed by Mr. Collier.

The words 'for Leir,' ' Romeos,' 'in Dido,' and 'for Pericles'
have been introduced by another hand, with an evident attempt to
imitate the original. The same hand has tampered with the entry
' 5. i blew damask cote the moro [?],' changing it into ' the more in
Venus,' i.e. the Moor in Venice. Mr. Collier {loc. cit.) calls special
attention to all these spurious items, as proving that ' Alleyn acted
parts, if not in Shakespeare's plays, in plays upon the same stories
as those employed by our greatest dramatist ' ; but he is silent about
the difference of hand.

lating to Shakespeare is not to be found in the original, and could not
possibly have formed part of it even in its perfect state, as is evident
from the words and letters still legible. An exact copy of the whole
letter, line for line, is given by Mr. Hamilton (Enquiry, p. 90), and the

Esquio"", churchwarden, by Francis Carter, one of the late ouer-
seers of the same Liberty.' Two copies, ff. 70, 71.

First printed by Mr. Collier, Mem. of Edw. AUeyn, p. 91.

The first of the two copies is a genuine document, but the line

' Mr. Shakespeare vi"" ', at the head of the second division of

the list tjf names, is undoubtedly a later insertion, the ink ■ being of
a different colour and the letters betraying the forger by their studied,
tremulous imitation of the original hand. Besides this, the sums
■opposite the next five names have apparently been altered by the
prefix of a figure in each case, and the name ' Leuens ' (the same
doubtless, as ' Christofer Levenes ' in art. 48) has been changed
into ' Louens,' in order to identify him with John Lowin, the actor.
The second copy, which is written on what appears to be a fly leaf
torn from a book having red edges, is an unquestionable forgery from
beginning to end, perpetrated probably in order to support the fal-
sification made in the genuine document. Mr. Collier prints the
list from the first copy, as is proved by his quotation of its endorse-
ment ; but it is worthy of notice that his misreadings of names, such
as Benfield for Binfeild,^ Cevis for Cruis, Burkett for Buckett, and

' This line and the next, which has been retraced to match it, are the only
two which show through on the other side of the page.

■^ This is Will. Benfield, one of the assessors in the preceding list, not Rob.
Benfield, the actor, as Mr. Collier assumes in the Memoirs of F.dw. Alleyn. He
corrected the error from the token-books of St. Saviour's in his Mein. of Actors,
p. 262.

Nasam for Nusam, show a tendency to agree with the second copy.
It is apparently upon the evidence of the latter alone that the list
has been hitherto condemned as a forgery. This opinion was first
publicly expressed by Mr. Staunton {Shakespeare, 1858, vol. i. pp.
xxxvii. Iviii.), and subsequently, among others, by Dr. Ingleby {Shak-
spere Controversy, i86i,p. 276) ; but neither of these writers seems to
have known of the partly genuine document, which so strikingly
exhibits the process of manipulation. Mr. Halliwell, on the other
hand, does mention ' two contemporary copies,' not detecting the
forgery, but his facsimile of the Shakespeare entry is taken only from
the second {Folio Shakespeare, 1853, vol. i. p. 193). A complete
facsimile of the same copy is given by Dr. Ingleby, sheet xvii.

' The writer was evidently husband of 'Haris Joones,' the writer of the letter
following. Probably, therefore, he was Richard Jones, the actor, whose name
has already occurred ; the more so as the handwriting has a resemblance to that
of art. 8 and the signature of art. 2. Henslowe being still alive, or his death
not yet known to the writer, the date can hardly be later than 1616; and it is not
unlikely that Richard Jones, who had already acted in Germany, was a member
of the English company which is known to have been at Danzig in that year
(Cohn, Shakespeare in Germany, 1865, p. xci.). His name occurs in none of the
lists of actors in Flea/s Shakespeare Manual \3Xer than 1600, and in Henslowe's

against Margaret Gray, Edward Marrant, and John Roods for
the non-payment of rent upon leases of the Fortune Theatre,
with the answers of the defendants; Nov., 1637. f. 165.

It appears from their answers that Marrant and Roods were
assignees of leases (see below, Munn. 56-58, 63, 66-70) originally
granted by Edw. Alleyn to Charles Masseye, the actor, John Fisher,
Thomas Wiggett, and Richard Gannill. Masseye is mentioned as
dead before 6 Dec, 1635, leaving a widow, Elianor . The answer of
the defendants concludes : —

'And they paid their rents vntill Christmas which was
12 monthe, which was Christmas 1635, and then the kinge
to hinder the increase of the Plague did forbid Theaters in
and about London, for to hinder concurse of people. And soe,
acteing of playes being the way to rayse the rent (and for-
biden), the defendants haue not euer since bene able, nor are
chargeable as they conceiue, to pay rents, they being alsoe
inhibited for imployeing the premises to any other vse then

Keeper for a hearing, dat. 9 Feb., i640[i]. Copies, f. 175.

From this petition it appears that the cause above (art. 115) was
heard 26 Jan., 1639, and order made ' that the said tennauntes should
pay all their rent in arreare withoiit any abatement, which accordingly
they did either compound for and pay for a certaine tyme,' but had

' Frend. Lett him give her gaie gold rings, or stufted gloves :

i.e. 'ikempt'; and st. 11, for 'ones yerely' read 'one yerth,' i.e.
' on earth.'

142. Ballad, without title, of the ' Bonny Wench of
Adlington.' ' At the top is partially legible the name
'Thomas My ' f. 275.

' [Farye well the c]hurch of Adlingtunne,

' Now will I sell my dager,

Before the third verse is what appears to be an alternative
version : —

' Farye well the streates of Adlingtunn,

That be so many and steppe ;
Full often times hav I gonne therby.

In dry wether and wett ;
And all was for that bon[n]y wenches sake,

The first stanza is : —

' A neighbour mine not long ago there was,
But namelesse he for blamelesse he shalle bee,
That maried had a tricke and bonny lasse
As in a sommer day a man might see ;
But he himselfe a fovle vnhandsome groome.
And farre vniit to hould so good a roome.'

144. Loose and Humorous Verses, nearly covering^
the two sides of a sheet much decayed and mutilated, f.
278.

The first lines are severally as follows : —

' When golden dayes be [past] '

' Kiss my cheek and chine, boy, but presume no nieyr '
' An owld man a woing made bragge off his doinge '
' Zounds I ame y^ roring boy thats newly come to towne '
' Com hobling Gobling grisly ghoast'

On the back is a fragmentary note in the hand of Edw. Alleyn,
apparently the beginning of a clause in a will.

els where were assembled to so worthie a woorke and place,
did consecrat your ffounded Chappell, hospitall, schole and

you gave honorable entertaynment : I was shortlie after at

Cplleadges there, who did mutche applaude the same, with
great commendation and liking and praising God for the per-
formance and endowing of so good a woorcke and memorable
a monument. I did at the same tyme present vnto his Grace
a woorke then newly printed by me of the Archbisshoppe of

reasons for declining the offer of the ushership of Dulwich

' The first is the present occasion now offered me wheare

M'' Lymer and myselfe. For the first, I finde such means
stirred vp for my maintenaunce amonghste those my worthie
freinds with whome I Hue, that certes (in my opinion) it
weare great follie in me toe refuse, and much inhumanitie
not in some sorte to congratulate, which I can doe noe other-
ways then by bestowinge my painfull and industriouse labor
vpon those little ones, whome they haue soe willingly com-
mitted vnto my charge. As touchinge the seconde, I meane
condicions, what man is he that will loose a competente
maintenance for twentie marks and his diet for one yeare,
and afterwards (peradventure) be forced to seeke vntoe his
olde freinds for anciant fauour .'' Againe, this yearly pencion
(and I feare me more) must be laide out in a goune, a bed
and such like commodities, and at the yeares end (it may be)
we must be constrained to packe them to London vnto a
broker and loose halfe in halfe. Well, these are noe such
greate matters but M' Lymer might easily haue contained
them within the compasse of a letter, if it had pleased him,
allthoughe he say nay, and haue saved me xx' in my puree..
Againe, good sir, pardon me if I bee to bolde (for I speake

Below and on the three blank pages at the back is the draft of a
long letter from Edw. Alleyn to Dr. John Donne, father of his
second (or third) wife, Constance, complaining of his ' manie vnkind
passages/ and especially the ' vnkind vnexspeckted and vndeserved
deniall of y' comon curtesie afforded to a trend, I mean y'' loane of
vnvsefull moneys.' This letter has no date or address, but it was
written ' allmost 5 quarters sine our maryag,' ' which took place
on 3 Dec, 1623 (^Alleyn Papers, p. xx.). It has been printed in
full by Mr. Collier {Mem. of Edw. Alleyn, p. 173), but with numerous
inaccuracies. In his remarks upon it Mr. Collier observes, ' Here
also we find it distinctly stated by Alleyn, that a portion of his pro-
perty was the playhouse in the Blackfriars.' This is not the case.
The passage to which he refers runs as follows : — ' I then towld you
all my landes wear stated [i.e. settled] on y" Coll : 3 leases I had, one
off them wase giuen to y*^ Coll : y^ other 2 being y<= manor and reck-
tory off Lewsham^ worth 130^ a year, and diuer tenementesin y' black

by Alleyn, but they have been inserted between the lines evidently
by the same hand to which are due the forgeries noticed above in

MS. No. VII.

Diary and Account-Book of Philip Henslowe; 1592-
1609.

The bulk of the contents relate to the Rose, the Fortune,
and other theatrical companies in which Henslowe was
interested. Among other valuable matter are included lists
of pieces acted, noting the daily receipts and first per-
formances, transactions with and payments to authors and
actors, and disbursements for the building of the Fortune
Theatre and for repairs, theatrical properties, &c.

The entries are generally made by Henslowe himself;
but in various places occur the handwritings, with signatures,
of the dramatists Greorge Chapman, Henry Chettle, John
Day, Thomas Dekker, Michael Drayton, Richard Hathway,
William Haughton, Henry Porter, William Rankins, Samuel
Rowley, Anthony Wadeson, and Robert Wilson, together
with those of a large number of actors. Mention is also
made of Thomas Heywood, Ben Jonson, John Marston,
Thomas Middleton, Anthony Munday, Thomas Nash, Went-
worth Smith, and John Webster.

Interspersed are various accounts unconnected with the
stage, relating to private and family business, advances made
on pledges, and the cutting of wood in Ashdown Forest,' co.

' See a paper on Ashdown Forest by Rev. Edw. Turner in the Sussex
Archceological Societ/s Collections, vol. xiv., 1862, pp. 47, 51, where Edmond
Hensley, or Henslowe, of Lindfield, father of Philip Henslowe, is named as
master of the game in Ashdown Forest and Broil Park in r539 and 1556-7.

Sussex. The last-named accounts are at the end, reversing
the volume, and belong to the years 1577 and 1578.

Extracts are given by Malone, Shakspeare, 1790, vol. i.
part ii. p. 288 (ed. Boswell, 1821, vol. iii. p. 295) ; and the
whole volume, so far as it relates to the stage, has been edited
by Mr. J. Payne Collier, The Diary of Philip Henslowe,
Shakespeare Society, 1845.

Mr. Collier, however, has accidentally omitted to print a
bond (f. 102) from William Paschall, of Maplestead, co. Essex,
esq. (cf. ed. Collier, p. 192), to Phil. Henslowe for the pay-
ment on I Nov. of 10/., dat. 28 Sept., 1599. He has also
overlooked the following entry (f 236) : —

' Layd owt for my Lorde Admeralle seruantes ' as

foloweth, 1594.
Layd owt for gowinge and cominge to somerset howe

Layd owt for mackinge of our leater twise
Layd owt for drinckinge with the jentellmen
Layd owt at another time for drinckinge .

N.B. The following entries may without hesitation be
condemned as forgeries : —

I. f iii5.' i8ofMayei59S — §, at galfrido& Bernardo— xxxi^'

This is written at the very bottom of the page in a style of
hand which appears nowhere else in the volume. The entry
is printed by Mr. Collier {Diary, p. 52), with the note : —
' An entry omitted to be noticed by Malone. It relates to a

Italians, Gaulfrido and Bernardo le Vayne," printed in 1570
by Henry Binneman. . . . An impression, limited to twenty-
five copies, has been recently made from the original.'
The re-print gives neither the name of the possessor of the
original nor that of the editor ; but from the handwriting of
an inscription in the British Museum copy it may be inferred
that the editor was Mr. Collier himself.

Mr. Collier does not remark in his note that the 18 May,
1 595) was a Sunday. This fact, however, added to the
suspicious appearance of the entry, is significant ; for, although
in other parts of the volume there is some confusion in the
dates, the accounts for the season from Easter to the end of
June, 1595, are very regularly kept, and there is no other
instance of a Sunday performance.

II. f. 19^. ' Pd vnto Thomas Dickers the 20 of desembr
1597 for adycyons to ffostus twentie shellings and fyve

Mr. Collier prints this entry {Diary, p. 71) without com-
ment ; but in his Hist, of Dramatic Poetry (ed. 183 1, vol.
iii. p. 113; ed. 1879, vol. ii. p. 491) he refers to it in the fol-
lowing terms : —

' There are three pieces of evidence to show that Marlow
was the author of Tamburlaine the Great, two of which have
never yet been noticed. The rfiost conclusive is the sub-
sequent entry in Henslowe's M.S. Diary, preserved at Dulwich
College, which escaped the notice of Malone. . . . Here we
see Marlow's Tamburlaine mentioned in connection with his
Faustus, to the latter of which Dekker had made some addi-
tions, and written a new prologue for the former. . , . This
testimony may be considered decisive.'

So far from being decisive the testimony is worthless.

i6o DULWICH COLLEGE

since the whole entry is evidently a forgery, written in clumsy
imitation of Henslowe's hand. The forger, however, has
shown some skill in his treatment of a narrow blot or smudge
which intersects the upper part of the ' U' in the second
' shellinges ' ; for, in order that the writing may appear to be
utider, and not over, the old blot, he has at first carried up
the // (as if writing li) only as far as the lower edge of the
blot, and has then started again from the upper edge to make
the loops.

Mr. Collier, in a note to the second of these entries (Diary,
pp. 94, 98, 99), refers to his Hist, of Dram. Poetry, where
(ed. 1831, vol.i.p. 306; ed.»i879, vol. i. p. 294) they are thus
introduced : —

'We find Nash in May 1597 writing for the Lord
Admiral's players, then under Philip Henslowe, and produc-
ing for them a play called The Isle of Dogs, wh.ic\i is con-
nected with an important circumstance in the history of the
stage, viz. the temporary silencing of that company, in con-
sequence of the very piece of which Nash was the author.

MANUSCRIPTS, No. VII. i6i

The following singular particulars are extracted from the
Diary kept by Henslowe. . . . Malone published none of
them.'

All three entries are written by the same hand as No. II.,
the ink being plainly doctored to give it a fictitious appear-
ance of age. Immediately above the first entry a slip of
paper, the whole width of the page, has been cut out, upon
which the same words had previously been written. This is
evident from an examination of the edges above and below
the excision, on which may still be seen the top of the L in
the first line and the bottoms of the long strokes in the last
line,^ corresponding exactly with the letters in the entry below.
It may be inferred from this that the first attempt at the
forgery was a failure, though it is possible, of course, to
argue that the duplicate was cut out to send to Nash. It
should be added that four similar excisions have been made
(possibly for the same reason) between the first and second
entries.

IV. f. 94. ' Lent vnto W™ Jube the 3 of November]

Mr. Collier in his note {Diary, p. 202) says, ' The name
of Webster is interlined, perhaps in a different hand.' He
quotes the entry also in his Hist, of Dram. Poetry (ed. 183 1,
vol. iii. p. lOl ; ed. 1879, vol. ii. p. 482), adding that it 'suffi-
ciently connects Webster with the performance, which we
may conjecture was a new version of Marlow's tragedy.'
There can be no doubt whatever that the name was not

equally evident that it is a spurious modern addition.

Mr. Collier in his note (Diary, p. 239) observes that
' Malone takes no notice of these remarkable entries.' The
probable reason of this omission (which is the more significant
as he does notice the other plays mentioned on the same
page) is that in Malone's time the entries reipained in the
state in which Henslowe left them, viz. with a blank space for
the title of the projected tragedy, as in another entry on the
next page (ed. Collier, p. 241). This space in both instances
is now filled in with the title printed above in italics,
written with a different ink and in a hand which has all
the appearance of forgery. Besides this, the word 'tra-
gedie' in both entries has been blotted out, as unsuited
to the title inserted, and in the second entry the word
'playe' has been written over it. Mr. Collier notices this
correction ; but he does not mention that the title is an
insertion.

The volume has been mutilated in various places by the
cutting or tearing out of leaves in whole or in part. In some
cases the mutilation dates apparently from Henslowe's own

' The initial letter is perhaps meant for a 'g,' though, owing apparently to
carelessness on the part of the forger, it is more like the ' h ' of the genuine hand.

time, but much of it is probably of a later period. All the
leaves have now been repaired, and the excisions filled in
with blank paper. The original vellum covers, which are
partly covered with names and other scribbling, are now
bound up at the beginning as fly-leaves.

A narrow slip, evidently cut from this volume, was bought
for the British Museum at a public sale in 1878, and is now
numbered Additional MS. 30262, f. 66. It contains, on the
two sides, the following entries : —

' Receaued by me George Chapman for a Pastorall end-
ing in a Tragedye ' in part of payment the sum of fortye
shillinges, this xvii*'' of July anno 1599.

Memorandum-Book of Edward Alleyn ; 1 594-1616.

The contents, which occupy a small portion only of the
volume, consist chiefly of notes of the purchase of the Bear
Garden, the Fortune Theatre, Dulwich manor, and other
properties, with lists of ' evidences ' and particulars of price,
subsequent profits, &c. On f. ^ib is 'a generall note of all
my writings, deedes or evidencis, bondes or bills belonging
to me E. Alleyn.'

All these notes, the lists of ' evidences ' excepted, are
printed in Mr. J. Payne Collier's introduction to the Alleyn
Papers, Shakespeare Society, 1843, P- ^iii- The note, 'What
the Fortune cost me, Nov. 1599,' &c., f. 6b, is also given by
Malone, Shakspeare, ed. Boswell, 1821, vol. iii. p. 55, and by
Collier, Hist, of Dram. Poetry, ed. 1879, vol. iii. 119. See
also above, MS. i. art. 43;?, and MS. ii. art. 4«. Most of the
evidences are included among the muniments catalogued
below.

At the beginning of the volume are four acquittances
from Edw. Alleyn to Arthur Langworth for payments on a
statute-staple bond, 19 May, 1599-20 Nov., 1600; and at
the end, reversing the volume, are a number of medical re-
cipes.

1602 (Stow, Survey of London, ed. Stiype, 1754, vol. i. p. 704), she was mother
of William Austin, the same doubtless as the ' M' Austein ' here mentioned and
the William Austin, of St. Saviour's, Southwark, in Muniments 586-589. She
died, aged 66, in 1626, and was buried in St. Saviour's church, where there is a
monument to her memory. From the frequency of Alleyn's visits to her, she
appears to have been one of his most intimate friends.

15 Aug., 1622 (see below). A poet of this name is mentioned in very good com-
pany by Meres {Wifs Treasury, 1598, f. 282^). He was author of an elegy on
Sir Phil. Sidney, printed in the Phanix Nest, 1 593, and in Spenser's Colin Clout,
1595, and has commendatory verses before Tho. Watson's Passionate Centurie,
1582. Chapman dedicated to him his Shadow of Night, 1594, and Ovid's Ban-
quet of Sence, 1595.

will be seen further on.

' The 25 Oct., 1618, and the 22 Oct., 1620, are also noted by AUeyn as the
anniversary of his wedding day. He was married on 22 Oct., 1592 (see above,

' Edward Anthony, one of the clerks of the Privy Seal.

* Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam. On the next day, 18 Aug., Bacon wrote to
Buckingham to explain his reason for staying the patent : — ' I like well that Allen
playeth the last act of his life so well ; but, if his Majesty give way thus to amortize
his tenures, his Court of Wards shall decay, which I had well hoped should im-
prove.' lie suggested, therefore, that the proposed endowment of 800/. should be
reduced to 500/. See Spedding, Life, vol. vi. 1872, p. 324.

' The words in italics are interlined, and, are evidently a modem forgery.
Mr. J. P. Collier prints the entry {Mem. of Edw. Alleyn, p. 106), but without
the spurious additiott. The threatened demolition was evidently in conaexion
with the proclamations issued about this time in restraint of new buildings, in pur-
suance of the statute 35 Eliz. cap. 6, 1593. This Act prohibited the erection of
any new building within three miles of London or Westminster, as well as the

was made by Rob. Johnson, the sheriff, 20 Sept., 1618 {ibid. p. 574), and includes
the entry, ' In Swan Alley, near the Wardrop, Edward Allen his howses are
respited by warrant.'

* This was the famous Mermaid tavern, the resort of the most noted wits and
literary characters of the time, and celebrated in the often-quoted lines addressed
by Francis Beaumont to Ben Jonson —

' What things we have seen
Done at the Mermaid ! ' &c.
Jonson himself alludes to it in his Epigram 133, telling how a party
' At Breadstreet's Mermaid having dined, and merry.
Proposed to go to Holbome in a wherry. '

State Papers, 1611-1618, p. 549).

" Mentioned again, further on, as the Bull Head in Cheapside.

' The word 'theatre' is interlined, and is a forgery. The object of the forger,
both in this case and in that above (p. 172, n. 5), is to make it appear that AUeyn's
property in the Blackfriars included the Blackfriars Theatre, and, by inference,
that he had bought Shakespeare's interest. See also above, MS. iii. art. I02.

' Mr. Collier (Mem. of Edw. Alleyn, p. 155) spoils an interesting entry by
misreading the amount as 6/1., a sum which applies to the entry preceding. Taylor
published an account of this journey, in mixed prose and verse, with the title
The Pennyles Pilgrimage, or the Moneylesse Perambulation of John Taylor alias
the Kings Majesties Water-poet. How he travailed on foot from London to Eden-
borough in Scotland, not carrying any money to or fro, neither begging borrowing or
asking meate drinke or lodging, Sec, London, 1618. This was followed by
A Kicksey Winsey or a Lerry Come-twang, wherein John Taylor hath satirically
suited 800 of his bad debtors that will not pay him for his return of Journey from
Scotland, London, 1619. He here says that he had sixteen hundred and fifty
subscribers to the former work : —

' They took a book worth 12 pence, and were bound
To give a crown, an angel or a pound,
A noble, piece or half-piece, what they list ;
They passed their words or freely set their fist. '

AUeyn's subscription seems to have been duly paid ; but the book is no longer in
the College library.

' Particulars of the fire are given in letters of J. Chamberlain and T. Lorkin,
16 and 19 Jan., 1618-9 (Court and Times of James I. vol. ii. pp. 123, 126) ; and
another account is contained in a news-letter in Cotton MS. Titus, B. viii. f. 374.
It was caused by the carelessness of a workman, who was employed in making
preparations for a royal masque ; and, within two hours, the Banqueting Hall
was completely destroyed. The damage extended also to the offices of the Signet
and Privy Seal under the Hall, and nearly the whole of the records and papers are
said to have been burnt .

and fix his seal,' &c. One of the copies of the deed of foundation, signed by
AUeyn and the witnesses named above, as well as by Howes himself, will be

addition of his own name, 'gentleman and chronicler,' and ' Lyonell Titchborne
of Grayes Inne, gent.' To the names of Sir Edm. Bowyer, of Camberwell, Sir
Tho. Grymes, of Peckham, Sir John Bodley, of Streatham, and Sir John Tonstall,

^ The ambassador was not the Duke of Lorraine, but Honore d' Albert, Sieur
de Cadenet, Marshal of France, afterwards Due de Chaulnes. Alleyn perhaps
confounded him with his brother, Charles d'Albert, Due de Luyius, favourite of
JLouis XIII. An account of his reception, taken chiefly from Sir John Finett's
Philoxenis, is given by Nichols, Progresses of James I., vol. iv. p. 630.

Ambassador is much delighted in bear baiting. He was the last week in Paris
Garden, where they showed him all the pleasure they could, both with bull, bear
and horse, besides jackanapes, and then turned a white bear into the Thames,
where the dogs baited him swimming, which was the best sport of all' {Court and

of Edward Alleyn : —

202 DULWICH COLLEGE

MS. No. XIV.

Catalogue of a collection of pictures belonging to
William Cartwright, actor and bookseller ; temp. Charles II.

The catalogue is apparently in Cartwright's own hand-
It originally contained descriptions of two hundred and
thirty-nine pictures, a few prints and drawings being included ;
but a single leaf, containing nos. 186-209, has been lost.
The prices for which the pictures were purchased are gene-
rally given in the margin ; and, in some cases, the names of
the artists are added. The name which most frequently
recurs is that of Heemskerk [see below] ; and there are
examples of Greenhill [see below], William Dobson [b. 1610,
d. 1646], Flusshers [Balthazar Flessiers, temp. Chas. I.], John
Payn [d. ante 1648], Breughel, Tintoretto, Johnson [Laurence
Johnson i", engraver, temp. Jas. I.], Isaac Fuller [d. 1672],
Housman [see below], Burbage [see below], and Walton
[Parrey Walton, keeper of the King's pictures, d. circ. 1700].

William Cartwright died at the end of 1686 or 1687, and
bequeathed his pictures to Dulwich College ^ ; but many

' John Aubrey, in his account of Dulwich College, writes : — ' In it [the picture
gallery] are several worthless pictures, and some not so bad, viz. the Founder and
his first wife, Henry, Prince of Wales, Sir Thomas Gresham, Mary, Queen of
Scotland, and several others given by Mr. Cartwright, a comedian, whose picture
is at the upper end' {Natural History and Antiquities of Surrey, 1719, vol. i.
p. 195). To this he adds in the Appendix (vol. v. p. 356) : — ' Here is a library,
in which is a collection of plays given by Mr. Cartwright, a bookseller, who lived
at the end of Turnstile Alley. . . . This Cartwright was an excellent player, and
besides his plays gave many pictures ; one a view of London, taken by Mr. John

of those here enumerated either never came into possession
of the College or were afterwards lost, and others were
probably destroyed on account of the grossness of the sub-
jects depicted.

The collection in general appears to have been of little
value; but many of the portraits are of historical interest, and
some, especially those by Greenhill, possess considerable artistic
merit. A list of the portraits is given below, the numbers
referring to Cartwright's catalogue and the asterisk marking
those which are still at the College.^ The spelling, which in
the original is very illiterate, has been modernised.

Norden in 1603, with the representation of the city cavalcade on the Lord Mayor's
Day, which is very curious. ' The name of Will. Cartwright as an actor frequently
occurs in Do wne's Roscius Anglicanus, 1 708. He was a member of the King's
company after the Restoration, and among other characters played Falstaff in
Henry IV. and Brabantio in Othello. He was probably a son of Will. Cart-
wright, the actor, mentioned by AUeyn in his Diary (see below, p. 207, n. 4. ) ; and a
passage in praise of AUeyn is inserted in his reprint of Heywood's Apology for
Actors, published in 1658. The circumstances of his bequest are stated in the
College Audit Book, 4 Sept., 1688 (Extracts by Rev. E. A. Giraud, Brit. Mus.,
Add. MS. 29479A, f. 22^), as follows :—' William Cartwright, gent., deceased,
by his will in writing in or about December, 1686 \sic, but 1687 in MS. vi.,
above, art. 39], not naming any executors, gave unto this College his books and
pictures, two silver tankards, damask linen, an Indian quilt, and a Turkey carpet,
together with 400/. in money, as a legacy for the benefit of the said College, and
soon after died, leaving the said legacy and all he had besides in the possession of
his servants, Francis Johnson and his wife. On or about the 14th of January
following, by commission or direction from the Prerogative Court, all the goods of
the said Mr. Cartwright which his said servants would produce, besides 390 pieces

of broad old gold, were inventoried, appraised and valued at 94/. i5-r About

the 1st of February following, the said Warden with great difficulty got into pos-
session of all the goods that were so appraised, except such goods as are mentioned
at this latter end of the inventory, exhibited by him into the Prserogative Court,
valued by two of the said appraisers at 29/. \os., which the said servants with
their confederates have carried away, together with the said 390 pieces of broad
old gold.' Of the pictures mentioned by Aubrey only those of the Founder and
his wife and Prince Henry are now at the College.

' These pictures are in the Master's official residence, and form no part of the
Dulwich College Picture Gallery, which was bequeathed by Sir P. F. Bourgeois
in 1810. The identification in some cases is merely from tradition. It is pos-
sible that a few of the pictures without an asterisk may also be at the College,
but they cannot be recognised from the descriptions.

Duke of Suffolk. The costume, however, is of a later period ; and, if the picture
really represents a Duchess of Suffolk, it is more probably Frances Brandon, wife
of Henry Grey, the last Duke [created 1551, beheaded 1554], by whom she was
mother of Lady Jane Grey. She afterwards married Adrian Stokes, and died at
the end of 1559.

' Perhaps the Sir George Sands, or Sandys, who was hanged at Wapping for

died 1658. This portrait is engraved in S. and E. Harding's Biographical Mir-
rour, 1795, vol. i. p. 84.

^ This is a very interesting portrait. It is, however, far too early for any
Earl of Exeter, the first who bore the title being Thomas Cecil, cr. in 1605. It
may, perhaps, be Henry Holland, the last Duke ofExeler, succ. 1446, died 1473.

Thomas Grey, first Marquis of Dorset, grandfather of Henry Grey, Duke of Suf-
folk, mentioned in the note above.

the leading characters in Shakespeare's plays at the Blackfriars and Globe
Theatres; died 13 Mar., 1618-9 (Collier, Hist, of Dram. Poetry, ed. 1879,
vol. iii. p. 293). His skill in painting is alluded to in an epigram and elegy
quoted by Mr. Collier [ib., pp. 280, 291). The portrait of him, no. 105, is
engraved in Harding's Shakspeare Illustrated, 1793.

Letters and Papers relating to purchases of pictures
made by Noel Joseph Desenfans,' and to that portion of his
collection bequeathed by him to Sir Peter Francis Bourgeois,^
knt, R.A., and by the latter to Dulwich College ; 1 787-1810.

1. Account by N. J. Desenfans of his business trans-
actions with Jean Baptiste Pierre Le Brun,^ art critic and
picture dealer, of Paris; Sept., 1787-Jan., 1788. f. i.

' Born at Douai in 1745. He came to England as a teacher of languages, but
ultimately devoted himself to the business of a picture dealer. In 1 790 he was
commissioned to collect pictures for Stanislaus Poniatowski, King of Poland, and
was named Polish Consul-General for Great Britain. After the partition of Poland
he was compelled to offer the collection for sale, having first made two attempts
to dispose of it to the Czar (see below, art. 12). His Descriptive Catalogue
(London, 1802, 2 vols.) includes 188 pictures. Only thirty-nine of these are now
at Dulwich; and there is no evidence that the rest of the 381 pictures in the
College gallery ever formed part of the collection made for Stanislaus. Desenfans
died 8 July, 1807, having by his will, dated 8 Oct., 1803, left the whole of his
pictures, &c., to his friend Sir P. F. Bourgeois.

^ Born in London in 1756, of a family of Swiss extraction. He studied paint-
ing under Loutherbourg, and during his travels abroad was knighted by Stanislaus,
King of Poland. He was made A.R.A. in 1788 and R.A. in 1793, and held the
appointment of landscape painter to George III. He died 8 Jan., 181 1. For
his will see below, art. 21.

' Born 1748, died 1813. He was husband of Marie Louise Elisabeth
Vigee, famous as a portrait painter and for esfrit. Mad. Le Brun has drawn
his character in her Souvenirs (Paris, 1835-1837) : — 'Ce n'est pas que M. Le
Brun fut un mechant homme. Son caractere offrait un melange de douceur et de
vivacity : il etait d'une grande obligeance pour tout le monde — en un mot, assez
aimable — mais sa passion effrenee pour les femmes de mauvaises moeurs, jointe i
la passion du jeu, a cause la ruine de sa fortune et de la mienne, dont il disposait
entiferement, au point qu'en 1789, lorsque je quittai la France, je ne possedais pas
vingt francs de revenu apres avoir gagne pour ma part plus d'un million ; il avait
tout mange. '

MANUSCRIPTS, No. XVI.

Exclusive of tliose marked as returned, the number of pictures
sent by Le Brun to Desenfans during the above period was forty-six,
sixteen of which were for sale on commission with joint profits. The
most important works purchased were : — ' un tableau representant
Thesde ' par N. Poussin,' 334/. : ' un grand paysage de Cuyp,' 300/. ;

till he himself arrives in England, when, with his assistance, it
may probably be sold to advantage ; has many pictures
worthy of being proposed to him, but has been so unlucky of
late that he is resolved to send no more; never sends a
picture by which he [Desenfans] will be out of pocket, and,
in sending the Vanni for the low sum of 50/.," really meant to
do him a service ; hopes soon to be in England with a col-
lection of good pictures, including in particular fine works of
Polidoro, and, as some of these are of great size, must look
out for a large house; Rome, 20 Sept., 1788. f. 7.

King of Poland, in 1793, to the Chevalier Bukaty, Polish
minister in England; London, 6 May, 1798. Copy, in the

12. ' MfiMOIRE ' addressed by N. J. Desenfans to Alex-
ander I., Emperor of Russia: In 1790 the Prince Primate,
brother and first minister of Stanislaus, King of Poland, per-
suaded the memorialist to give up his business (by which he

MANUSCRIPTS, No. XVI.

was making between 2,000/. and 3,000/. a year), and devote
himself to the service of Poland, ' en I'assurant que pour Ten
d^dommager Sa Majeste Polonnoise lui donneroit une charge
publique a Londres et celle de chercher et d'achetter pour
elle les beaux tableaux qu'on offriroit en vente a des prix
raisonables' ; began, therefore, to form the desired collection,
and, some time after, received from the King a patent of
nobility and the rank of colonel, together with the appoint-
ment of Polish Consul-General for Great Britain, but this
office, far from being profitable, was only a source of expense
and trouble ; at the request of the Prince Primate advanced
1,800/. to the Chevalier Bukaty, Polish minister, to enable
him to quit England, and incurred also a heavy outlay in
relieving a crowd of Polish refugees after the revolution at
Warsaw, in return for which the King, in spite of his distress,
sent him two sums amounting together to a little more than
1,300/, assuring him at the same time that when his own
affairs were re-established all his expenses should be paid ;
although matters went from worse to worse, still hoped for
ultimate payment for the collection, which had already cost
9,000/., but on the King's death claimed the protection of the
English Government, and. prayed them to use their interest in
his favour with the Russian Court ; Lord Grenville, Secretary
of State, having admitted the justice of his claim, requested
Lord Whitworth, ambassador at St. Petersburg, to support
it, and sent him the proofs, letters, and memoir, but unfor-
tunately the harmony between the two Courts soon after came
to an end, and Lord Whitworth returned, leaving all the
papers among the archives of the Embassy; when the
archives were afterwards burnt, to prevent their falling into
the hands of the Russian Government, the proofs of his claim
perished with them, but the facts are within the memory of
Lord Grenville and Lord Whitworth, and can be otherwise

■ established ; prays, therefore, for a sum of about 4,000/., to
compensate him for the loss of his business, advances of
money, expenses, with interest, on account of the pictures,
and his charges and lack of emoluments as Consul-General.
When Lord Grenville, towards the end of 1799, sent the
memorialist's first memoir to St. Petersburg, an offer of the
collection was made to the late Emperor for about 9,000/., its
then value at cost price ; to make it more complete, has since
added to it some fine pictures of the Italian school, bringing
the cost up to 12,000 guineas, and offers it for this sum ; if
the Emperor is unwilling to add these pictures to his gallery,
must put them up to auction, but, as sales by auction cost
ten per cent, including Government dues, this will cause an
expense of more than 1,000/., which he prays the Emperor to
allow him, for, having expended so much care and trouble in
forming the collection, ' il seroit dur pour lui 6tre aujourd'hui
a de tels fraix pour s'en d^faire ;' his claim, therefore, amounts
in all to 5,000/, the recovery of which he solicits with
■confidence 'de I'auguste Souverain qui possMe et rfegne
aujourd'hui sur les ^tats au service desquels cette dette fut
contractee,' &c. ; London, 22 June, 1801. Copy. Preceded
by a draft, in the hand of N. J. Desenfans, of the earlier

London, to William Gryffyn, of London, vintner, of a messuage,

parish late called St. Margaret's, then and now in the parish
of St. Saviour, Southwark, for 3 1 years at a rent of 7/., the
same having been granted to the par. of St. Mildred, 3 Dec,
1552, by Thomasyn, widow of Raphe Symonds, of London,

' See above, MS. ii. art l. The original patent appears to be in the posses-
sion of Mr. Collier (Mem. of Edw. Alkyn, p. 70). He speaks of it, however, as
granted to John Dorrington, instead of Ralph Bowes ; but the date, which is the
same as that of the above document, shows that he must be in error. He men-
tions this exemplification (p. 60), but wrongly dates it 8 Nov., 1586, and makes
this the date not of the exemplification, but of the actual grant. Neither the
original patent nor the exemplification is included by Edw. Alleyn in the list of
' Wrightings of the beargarden' in MS. viii. f. 43*. This list contains thirty-
three deeds, together with ten bonds, but not one of the number is to be found
among the Muniments. Morgan Pope seems to have derived his interest in the
garden from several parties, including Ralph Bowes and Edward Bowes, and to
have made it over to one Hayes, from whom it passed to Burnable, and so to
Edw. Alleyn. See above, p. 67, n. 4, and Alkyn Papers, p. xvii.

leases forfeited by Mary Bryan and Margaret Gray, as above, no. 66,
paying 18/. 14J. 2d. and 55/. 6j. 10^. for arrears, on condition that
the College procured the surrender of the originaUfiages made ta
Bryan and Gray, and that, if ' the partes of the playhouse should not
arrise and make more proffitt then the rentes to be reserved and
repaiers and interest of the moneys att 8" per centum for the dis-
bursmentes of the arreres, that the Master, Warden, &c., would repaye
the 55^' 6' 10* and the 18" 14' 2^ with the rentes the defendant
should paye for the partes in the meane time and interest ' ; these
conditions not having been observed by the College, although
•before he had raysed 5" profitt the Parliament putt downe playes,
soe, his covenaunt restreyninge him from putting them [the premises}
to other vses, and Gray and Bryan not surrenderinge their leases,
he was disabled to make any proffitt.'

He also mentions that ' about 9 yeares synce ' he became assignee
of a half-share in trust for Elizabeth Shanckes, his interest in which,,
at the request of the same Elizabeth and her husband, he afterwards
made over to Winifred Shanckes.'

Thomas Grymes denies that he has any lease or assignment, but
states ' that he, having a very great stock of Apparrell both for men
and women, did furnishe the actors of the playhowse, and therfore
they allowed him a part or share out of the playhowse and paid him
other somes of money out of the proffittes of the howse and still
[are] indetted to him.'

According to the preamble of the bill the Fortune was divided
by Edw. AUeyn in 1623, into twelve shares, and on th e 20 Ma y,
1622, leases of whole shares for 51 years at a rent of 10/. 13^. 10^.

baptised at St. Giles, Cripplegate, 3 Aug., 1623 (Collier, Memoirs of Actors,

another daughter Winifred is registered on 19 May, 1626. This Winifred, again,
was buried on 16 June, 1629, so that the Winifred Shankes here mentioned'
must be a third daughter of the same name, perhaps by a different mother, the-
Elizabeth Martin whose marriage to a John Shanke is registered on 26 Jan.,
1630-1. John Shankes himself was buried 27 Jan., 1635-6 ; and it may be in-
ferred, from the mention of the husband of Elizabeth Shankes at a later date, that
she had married again.

A. Phillips, W. Sly, R. Pallant, and ' Ned ' [Edward Alleyn .?].
Entitled on the outside ' The Booke and Platt,' &c.

Written in a large clear hand on a sheet of paper mea-
suring 16 X 12 inches, with a hole in the centre near the top
for the nail or peg by which it was suspended in the theatre.
When found at Dulwich, it formed the cover for the play of
The Tell-Tale, MS. xx.

First printed by Edm. Malone in 1780 in his Supplement
to the Edition of Shakspeare published in 1778, vol. i. p. 58,
accompanied by some remarks by George Steevens, and in-

342 APPENDIX.

eluded also in Malone's Shakspeare, ed. Bpswell, 1821, vol. iii.
p. 348. Printed again by Mr. Collier, History of Dramatic
Poetry, ^c, 183 1, vol. iii. p. 394 [ed. 1879, iii. 197].

Mr. Collier considers that the play consisted of panto-
mime and extemporaneous dialogue on a pre-arranged plot,
and he thus describes it : — ' It relates to three distinct stories,
illustrating the consequences of Envy, Sloth, and Lechery :
first, that of Gorboduc and his sons Ferrex and Porrex;
secondly, that of Sardanapalus ; and thirdly, that of Tereus ;
and the question arises, in what way Henry VI. and Lidgate
were concerned in it. Henry VI. is in his tent, and probably
Lidgate is supposed to regulate the performance in his pre-
sence, and for his amusement. In the course of the piece,
Henry and Lidgate twice talk together, and Lidgate seems
to act as chorus, to explain the dumb shows, and to deliver
the prologue and epilogue.'

The ' plat ' of the first part of the play, which probably
dealt with Pride, Gluttony, Wrath, and Covetousness, has not
been preserved. As Tarleton was buried 3 Sept., 1588, the
piece must have been composed before that date.

MS. No. XX.

' The Telltale,' a comedy in five acts. A part of the
fourth act is missing, the leaves being left blank.

The scene is laid in Florerice, the chief characters being
the Duke, Aspero, his general, Hortensio, a Venetian prince,
prisoner of war, Picentio, Bentivoglio, Victoria the Duchess,.
Isabella, her niece or cousin, and Elinor. The plot turns on
the Duke's unfounded jealousy of his wife and the intrigues
of Aspero, who on the Duke's reported death obtains the
crown, after having, as he supposed, procured the murder of

APPENDIX. 343

the Duchess and Picentio, her reputed lover, in prison. The
title-character is Bentivoglio, as thus explained : —

' Hort. — A fellow not worth anger. What's the other — that ould
fellow ?

' Asp. — Lesse vainglorious but much more valiant ; and yet as
eueiy man has one ydle humor or another, hee wants not his, and the
traine this peacocke ys so proud of ys his tale.

'Hort. — Does hee take such pleasure in an ould tale

' Asp. — Ould or yong so yt bee in the likenes of a tale yt neuer
comes amisse to him. The Duke knowes his humor so well hee giues
way," and indeed lenes a kind of priuilege too't and calls him his
telltale.'

The name of the author is unknown and the play has not
been printed, though it was advertised as being in the press
in 1658 and 1661 (Halliwell, Diet, of Old English Plays,
p. 242). The present unique copy, which is in a hand of the
early part of the seventeenth century, appears to have be-
longed to the actor who played the leading part of the Duke,
the word ' mine ' being written opposite his first speech.

This MS. and MS. xix., which formed its cover, were in-
cluded in the sale-catalogue of the library of James Boswell
in 1825, but were claimed by the College authorities and
given up to them a few days before the sale.

' Manuel de Pecche ' : Robert [Mannyng] of Brunne's
Handlyng Synne, a poem founded on the Manuel des Piches of
William of Wadirigton.

A fragment, ending at the ninth commandment with the
story of Jephtha, being lines 1-2897 of the edition printed
for the Roxburghe Club, ed. F. J. Furnivall, 1862. A few
lines at the bottom of the first leaf are also torn away. The
variations from the printed text are numerous. Written in
a rough, ill-formed hand in the early part of the fifteenth
century, by a scribe surnamed Rose (f. 16). The lines con-
taining the author's name run as follows : '■ —

1276 until the end of March, 1282. According to. Willis (Mitred Abbeys, 1719,

1298, and was succeeded by Philip de Barton or Burton. These dates, however,
are at variance with the language of Robert of Brunne. If he is to be depended
upon, Bolingbrok probably died in 1288, not 1298, and Barton did not become
prior until 1303, the same year in which the poem was begun. This would
exactly allow the requisite ten years for John de Cameltone, 1288-1298, and five
for John Clattone, 1298-1303. For the last name both Mr. Furnivall's MSS,
read Clyntone. It has been suggested that John de Glyndone, who was prior
from 1332 to 1341, is intended ; but his date is obviously too late.

Preceded by a dedicatory letter in the hand of, and signed
by, John Osborne, addressed to Sir Christopher Hatton, Vice-
Chamberlain to the Queen and Captain of the Guard, and
dated London, 26 Jan., i582[3]. The writer speaks of an
earlier work favourably received by Sir C. Hatton, and adds,
' I meane farther also to translate you two other most excel-
lent workes. Eschines and Demosthenes orations about the
coronation of Demosthenes is the one ; and the whole volume
of Demosthenes orations of state and counsayle is the other.'

' Military Discourse prouing whether it bee better for

API' END IX. 351

and deferre the same ; with a certaine ready and orderly course
for the speedy arming and bringing of men together in the
shire of Kent at an alarum giuen to the country, which by like
proporcion may bee observed in any other shire whatsoeuer
throughout England and Wales' ; circ. 1595.

The writer, who advocates a temporising policy, speaks of
another treatise shown by him privately to some of the
Lords of the Council in 1585 [ff. 2b, 32]. The scope of the
earlier work was ' but to perswade you to restrayne the
violently and disorderly running downe of the countrie to the
sea-side to fight and give battaile to the enemy at landing
after the old custome ' [f 283] ; and the arguments there ad-
vanced having been 'lately impugned by a gentleman of
good worth and his discourse committed to print,' he was
compelled to uphold and fortify them. He appears to have
been a soldier by profession, and had served in France at the
siege of Paris and elsewhere, no doubt in the English force
under Lord Willoughby sent to the aid of Henry of Navarre
in Sept., 1589. Neither of these leaders, however, is men-
tioned, but the Duke of Parma is continually eulogised, espe-
cially for ' the late carriage' of his warres in France.'

The writer also refers to the defeat of the Spanish
Armada [f 22], and gives a graphic account as an eye-witness
[f 17] of the tumultuous way in which, upon the firing of the
beacons, the country-people rushed down to the shore, ' some
with clubbs, some with piked staves and pitchforkes, all
vnarmed, and they that were best appointed were but with a
till, a bow and a sheafe of arrowes, noe captaine or commander
appointed to direct, lead or order them,' &c.

Several copies of the discourse are in the British Museum,
one of which, Harley MS. 4685, is in the same hand as the
present MS.

Henry Dodwell, Camden Professor of History at Oxford ;

1589.

354 APPENDIX.

The last letter of J. A., who advocates submission against
Dodwell, concludes, ' I could add many other arguments (of
great weight with me) to prove our discharge from the former
oath and our liberty to take the new one, but I may well
think that they would be tedious and offensive to you who
have seen and considered most things that can be offer'd on
this side and have probably determined against them in your
own judgement ; what I have said, I take to be a full answer
to M'' D's. charge of apostasie and perjury,' &c. The initials
J. A. possibly mean John Allen, Archdeacon of Chester,
1686-1695 (see above, p. 155). Capt. Hatton is no doubt
Capt. Charles Hatton, younger son of the first Lord Hatton.
From an entry in Luttrell's Diary, 22 June, 1690, it appears
that he was sent to the Tower ' for handing to the presse a
treasonable paper against the government.' See also the
Hatton Correspondence, Camden Soc, 1878, vol. ii. pp. 151
