The books presented to the Royal Society by John Aubrey, F. R. S

This article has been written with two limited purposes in mind. My first concern has been to collect the extant documentary references to the presentation by John Aubrey of books to the Library of the Royal Society, identifying them with varying degrees of certainty with the copies of the works still extant in the Society’s library, and further by physical examination to establish the presence in the library of books once owned by Aubrey and of which there is no actual documentary evidence of gift by him. Then, and as a natural corollary and in a very limited way, to indicate how these books illustrate something of Aubrey’s attitudes to the Experimental Philosophy. The formative influence of this philosophy upon Aubrey as an undergraduate at Oxford has been ably demonstrated by Robert G. Frank Junior in his study of John Lydall’s letters to Aubrey (1). The persons mentioned in that correspondence show that as a member first of Trinity College and then of the Middle Temple in London, Aubrey frequented the circles from which the Royal Society sprang and it is therefore wholly in character that he should have been one of the signatories on 5 December 1660 to the proposals for the formation of a society to hold regular meetings for experiment and discussion (2). However, his membership of this society was not formally proposed, by Dr Walter Charleton, until 24 December 1662. Elected on 7 and admitted on 21 January, Aubrey was named on 23 May 1663 (3) as one of the original Fellows of what had become, by Charles II’s charters, the Royal Society.

Equity and Mercy in English Law and Drama (1405–1641)

Middle Temple and Ben Jonson picked up the word syndereisis as misspelled in Christopher St. Germain's Doctor and Student, a treatise on thought to have influenced Merchant of Venice and Measure for Measure. All three dramatists probably encountered Epieikeia (1609) by Thomas Ashe of Gray's Inn and, in manuscript, works of the same title by Edward Hake and William Perkins. Of course equity would be familiar to the dramatists from the Geneva Bible which used it more than later

John Marston’s Histriomastix and the Golden Age

In spite of its title, Histrio-Mastix; Or, The Player whipt is not primarily concerned with either players or the War of the Theaters, as has been frequently argued Д Rather, as recent scholarship has urged, the play is about the decay of commonwealth and was written by Marston for the Middle Temple's Christmas revels of 1598/9.2 It is essentially a study of the breakdown of an unspecified but clearly English society, and each of its six acts presents one phase of the process: Peace, Plenty, Pride, Envy, War, Poverty. The deterioration is traced and made specific by presenting in each act various scenes which illustrate the theme of the act.3 The play is at the same time an allegorical dramatization of two Renaissance commonplaces. The first is the idea that the fortunes of society are governed by continuous cycle. . . . The second thesis offers way out of the cyclical trap through learning. . . .4 My argument, however, is that in his allegory Marston presents vision of the Golden Age, followed by the stages through which it turns to an Age of Iron, and then renewal of the Golden Age through the return of Astraea. Further, in each act crucial choric commentary is presented by the key human figure in the drama, the scholar-poet Chrisoganus.

I. Robert Dudley and the Inner Temple Revels

In the winter of 1561/2 Henry Machyn, citizen of London, noted two special events in his diary: the extraordinary Christmas revels at the Inner Temple and the performance on 18 January, before Queen Elizabeth, of a play and a masque by these same gentlemen. These events are inextricably connected and in terms of political propaganda must be viewed in conjunction. The play was Gorboduc, written by two Inner Templars, the Queen's cousin Thomas Sackville and the Protestant Parliamentarian Thomas Norton. The revels at the Inner Temple celebrated the accession and reign of Robert Dudley as the lawyers' Christmas Prince. He had been chosen by the governors and Parliament of the Inner Temple in gratitude for his intervention in a dispute with the Middle Temple over Lyons Inn, one of the Inns of Chancery historically under the jurisdiction of the Inner Temple. Dudley had intervened with the Queen, opposing his influence against that of Sir Robert Catlin, Lord Chief Justice of England, and Sir James Dyer, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who had championed the cause of their old Inn, the Middle Temple. Elizabeth was moved by her favourite to speak to Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper, asking him to confirm the right of the Inner Temple. The grateful Parliament and governors of the Inner Temple pledged themselves and their successors to Dudley, offering their legal skills in his service and promising never to give counsel in a cause against Lord Robert. The value of this pledge to Elizabeth's chief suitor from men as eminent as Richard Onslow, Anthony Stapleton, Robert Kelway, William Pole, Roger Manwood and Richard Sackville is clear. The elevation of the favourite to the dignity of Prince Pallaphilos was in terms of propaganda a very splendid return for Dudley's intervention on the Templars' behalf. Nor was this pledge of loyalty ephemeral; the bond was mutually advantageous and it was one the Templars continued to honour. In 1576 the Parliament of the Inner Temple still referred to Leicester as ‘chief governor of this House’.
