Manuscripts
A manuscript copy of a printed text concerning the divorce case of Frances (Howard), Countess of Essex and Robert, Earl of Essex and the trial of Sir Thomas Overbury's poisoners; copied out in an unidentified hand. In limp vellum covers with the initials "W B" decorating front and back covers; with the signature of "Wm Browne" pasted onto front page, this is possibly the signature of William Browne (1590-approx. 1645), the English poet. The text ends with "The Proceeding against Sir Tho. Monson, at the Guild-hall...May 24, 1616" so is missing a portion of the printed text; following the trial text is one page of autograph notes dated 1620.
