Partly material for a history, partly in literary form (cf. fols. 103 with 149, etc.), by the Rev. J.B. Blakeway. No doubt this MS. was used for parts of vol. i. of the History of Shrewsbury by the Rev. Hugh Owen and the Rev. J.B. Blakeway (Lond. 1825, 2 vols.), but not much was directly printed from it, the plan being different.

At fols. 283, 287, are two letters from sir Thomas Phillipps, Dec. 30, 1825, and Jan. 11, 1826.

The account of the school and its successive masters is elaborate and valuable, and comprises a few original documents of the 17th and 18th cent.
