AN ELIZABETHAN MANUSCRIPT OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE AND OF SHAKESPEAREAN INTEREST.

This precious Manuscript comprises all that remains of the Original of Gwyllim's Magnus Opus.

Moreover, this is the only Autograph Manuscript of Gwyllim extant. The Manuscript of Gwyllim's "Rudimenta" in the British Museum is ONLY SIGNED by him.

The drawings in this fine manuscript depict the Coats of Arms of the Monarchs and Nobility of Great Britain and other Countries and are all inscribed with descriptions in GWYLLIM'S AUTOGRAPH.

The first Drawing represents the Arms of "Richard Plantagenet, King of ye Romans.'' Beneath the shield of the Arms, which is colored in black and gold, is Gwyllim's autograph description which states:

"He beareth: or, a bordure sable charged with entoyre of 8 besants sutch a bordure did Richd. Plantagenet bear king of ye Romans & earl of Cornwall that wos soon (was son) to king John and brother to king henry ye third. Note, ye word entoyre signefyeth button or peres of gold un stampt."

This shield is of Shakespearean interest, and other shields of Shakespearean interest occur throughout.

[XVIII Sæe.]

The volume also contains two pieces-a Chant and a Voluntary by George Heathcote (1784), into whose possession the volume came.

Heathcote has written the following note on the leaf before the first composition:

"This book was a vade-mecum used by John Clark Mus. Doc. (Or ganist first of Ludlow, afterwards of Armagh in Ireland) when he was apprenticed to Dr. Phillip Hayes and first began to play at the Chapels in Oxford 1783.

It contains several Chants used at Oxford, some of old Dr. Hayes Psalm Tunes to Merrick's Version, and some short simple Voluntaries written by Dr. Phil. Hayes for the use of his pupil Mr. Clark, it being the custom at that time to play a voluntary always before the first lesson in New College Chapel.

G. Heathcote,

New Coll.

N. B. The writing is Dr. P. Hayes's chiefly."

Dr. Philip Hayes was the composer of a setting of Shakespeare's "What shall he have that killed the deer," written in 1780.

Original Manuscripts of the early English composers are of the greatest rarity. The present is THE SOLE MUSICAL MANUSCRIPT of Dr. PHILIP HAYES known to us. Even the original editions of the work of Dr. Hayes realize high prices.
