Provenance
The first named work is ROGER TWYSDEN'S COPY, with ownership inscription to title, dated 1622, and to front free endpaper. Twysden (1597-1672), celebrated scholar and antiquarian, "had a knowledge of and affection for the usages and liberties of his country scarcely, if at all, exceeded in an age which comprehended the great names of Coke, Selden, Sommer, Spelman, Evelyn, Cotton, and Saville" (DNB).
