Overview and metadata sections
William Noy was a long time member of Parliament and an attorney-general and lawyer to Charles I. Although he was an antagonist to the court party in Parliament, when he became attorney-general in 1631, he became an ardent supporter of the Kings' rights.
A 71 page manuscript, bound in vellum with ties and housed in a slipcase with a second and slightly different copy of the manuscript. Describes the royal collection of revenues for support and repair of estates, derived from the Records of the Tower, Parliament rolls, and close petitions. This document was originally circulated in manuscript form prior to its publication in the Cottoni Posthuma in 1679, and separately in 1715.
Vellum binding with ties.
Purchased on July 13, 1973, from Hofmann and Freeman, Hausdorfer funds. Previously from the library of Hudson Gurney (1775-1864), sale at Sotheby's March 31, 1936, Lot 173, probably earlier in the collection of Cox Macro. Bookplate of Seymour Redmayne Schofield.
First cataloged in 1992. Reprocessed and finding aid prepared in July 2021 by Katy Rawdon, Coordinator of Technical Service.
