Scope and Content
The papers are described by Gilmore as 'a bundle of notes written on odd scraps of paper and stitched together. The writing is bad and frequently almost illegible. The contents of the notes are various; there are jottings on the nature of the law, charges to juries, a speech to a condemned man, draft speeches on other occasions and a few letters. They are strongly coloured with religious feeling ... Among them are notes of a speech and an account of a meeting of subsidy-men which throw a light on feeling in Bedfordshire at the beginning of Charles I's reign.' The text of this meeting is published in BHRS Vol XXV (1947).
