I am enabled, through the kindness of Mr. Henry B. Hull, of Nether Compton, Dorset, to exhibit to the Society a small manuscript volume, 6½ inches high by 3½ inches broad, bound in red morocco, and lettered on one side in blind tooling, Eduardus Dering, with the words Mercator Regius, superposed upside down in gilt letters. On the other side the process is reversed, the blind tooling being applied to the words Mercator Regius, while the superposed and inverted gilt lettering forms the name of Eduardus Dering. The manuscript bears the date 1660, and begins with “A List of His Mats Navie Royall, with their Dimensions, Number of Men, and Gunns,” &c.
