XIX. A Memoir on the State of Norham Castle in the time of Henry the Eighth, communicated from a Cottonian Manuscript in the British Museum, by Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. and S.A. in a Letter to Nicholas Carlisle, Esq. Secretary

Extract

In a volume of Miscellaneous Papers among the Cotton Manuscripts in the British Museum, is a short but curious Memoir on the state of Norham Castle in the time of Henry the Eighth.

A very short extract from that part which relates to provisions for the garrison was copied by Mr. Pinkerton in his History of Scotland: but I think the whole Memoir affords an important detail, not only of the œconomy, but of the general expense attending the keeping up of an ancient fortress.
