Letters almost entirely written to Anthony Wood, Written in 1657-1695
Letters almost entirely written to Anthony Wood, 1657-95, chiefly on the biography of Oxford writers, some with draughts of the replies. In the following list some entries have been for convenience inserted from MSS. Wood F. 46-51, Ashm. Mus. c. 1, the whole series forming the bulk of the papers on which Wood's Atheme Oxonienses is based. They do not however satisfactorily allow of summary treatment.
The chief writers are:
- St. George, Henry (6), 1688-92 (fol. 340).
- Sheldon, Frances (5), 1684-7 (fol. 207).
- Sheldon, Ralph (107), 1673-84 (fol. 21).
- Sherburne, sir Edward (33), 1675-95, with pedigree of Sherburne (fol. 221).
