'Catalogus omnium librorum a bibliotheca Lambethana ad Academiam Cantabrigiensem transmissorum' a list of the printed books and (fols. 65-75)-MSS. sent to Cambridge from Lambeth by an order of the House of Commons dated Feb. 15, 1 64 6/7; arranged chiefly by subjects. They were returned at the Restoration.

This is the original list certified by John Spencer and Samuel Tomson, and noted by H. Elsynge the Clerk of the House of Commons as 'deliuered [to the House] by Mr. Denys Bond . 29° April. 1647'. Selden was on the Committee for settling the affair, and no doubt retained this MS. Fol. 142 is a fragment of some legal proceedings in English (17th cent.).
