Killigrew Family.- Legal notebook and commonplace book relating to the Killigrew family, manuscript in several hands, in chancery and secretary hands, 228pp., ruled throughout, reverse entries, browned in places, ink signatures of Henry Hunlock (4pp. notes) and John of Oakes on front free endpaper, ink initial "K" on front pastedown, original calf, rubbed and slightly scored, joints splitting but still sound, remains of brass clasps, sm. 8vo, 1638-60. £600 - 800

The literary section of this manuscript consists of two parts, one is an alphabeticised collection of Latin aphorisms (taken from classical authors such as Ovid, Pliny, Virgil & Terentius Afer) with loose English translations in the margins. The other part consists of a commonplace book of literary, historical and geographical subjects. The legal section consists of 19 pages relating to various members of the Killigrew family including 2pp. with subheadings of London and Lincoln. One entry reads: "[?Trin] xvj C[a]r[ol]i [1640-1] Killigrew v[er]sus Thorneton in Sub[?] in xxiii Junii" is repeated, in a current hand among the chancery hand section, under London; while under Lincoln following is listed a William Killigrew. Another entry reads: "Subpoena versus Johannem Topp Armigerum et Henricum Killigrew Armigero 27 Novembris [?1640-41]". The manuscript records the names of Henry and William Killigrew, probably Henry Killigrew D.D. (1613-1700), chaplain to Charles I and younger brother of Sir William Killigrew (1606-95), dramatist. Sir William had an estate in the Lincolnshire fens and is known to have extensive disputes with his neighbours because of his efforts to drain the land. Several petitions are recorded in the manuscripts of the House of Lords for and against Sir William over draining the Lindsey Level which he claimed had cost him #30,000 because of the riotous actions of one Thomas Kirke.
