Note 11 — Chapter II · THE FOUNDER OF THE COTTONIAN LIBRARY.

Such is the title in Cottoni Posthuma. In MS. Harl. 180—apparently given by Cotton himself to Sir S. D’Ewes—the title is ‘A Declaration against the Matche,’ &c. In that copy, this note occurs at the end, in Sir Symonds’ hand:—‘Thus far only, as Sir Robert Cotton himself told me, he proceeded; leaving the rest to be added ... according to the relation ... declared before the greater part of both Houses by ... the Duke of Buckingham.’—MS. Harl. 180, fol. 169.
