"A help to history, or the British remembran[cer], being a chronology of the most material transaction that has happined from the year 1603... unto the year 1727 [14 October, 1726]... faithfully collected from the best of authors and put into order of time by Samuell Fleming", 18th century
Written in a large and clumsy hand, by an ill-educated person, but from 1679 (which begins on fol. 153) onwards the entries of events under their several months and days are full and particular.
