Commonplace book mainly containing proverbs and original and transcribed sermons in English, Latin and Greek. The following inscription appears on the fly-leaf:-'M ... Edwardi Warreni de Wormington in Comit Gloucestrio Anno Doni 1664 Anno Etatis 23'. A short description of the volume, in the form of a cutting from a sale catalogue, is loosely inserted. According to this description, the author appears to have been a Puritan of the Cromwellian period. A note, however, in the margin of this cutting [by Albert Addams-Williams] refutes this suggestion on the ground that the volume contains a sermon based on the martyrdom of Charles I.
