XXX. Notices of the Tower of London temp. Elizabeth, and the Horse Armoury temp. Charles I. In a Letter addressed by Wm. Durrant Cooper, Esq., F.S.A. to Robert Lemon, Esq., F.S.A.

Abstract

The facilities which you have afforded by the publication of your Kalendar for the public use of the valuable documents preserved in the State-Paper Office, relating to the first half of Queen Elizabeth's reign, and your kindness in permitting me to make extracts from your own book of MSS. on ancient armour, consisting of the scattered Exchequer documents, enable me to send to our Society some notices of the Tower of London and of the armouries there and at Greenwich, which are very interesting in themselves, and are chiefly of a date forty years earlier than the lists communicated by William Bray, Esq. F.S.A. to our Society, and reprinted by Meyrick from the Archæologia.
