134 HARDYNG (John), Chronicle of England, in English metre. MANUSCRIPT of the XVth Century, written by an English scribe on 128 leaves, with capitals and regal emblems in red. Folio, in a contemporary vellum cover, £90.

A very interesting manuscript of this rhymed English chronicle. It resembles the Harleian MS., but differs from it and other MSS. in that it contains much more copious notes both in English and Latin, including a long prayer of St. Thomas of Canterbury at the conclusion of the reign of Henry II. Another peculiarity is that the stanzas addressed to Richard Duke of York are omitted from the Proem, and it would seem to have been compiled for a supporter of the Lancastrian party. Additional evidence in support of that view is found in a Latin Chronicle written upon 18 leaves which precedes Harding's Chronicle in the volume. This appears to have been originally written up to the end of the reign of Edward III, with additions for the reigns of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI, concluding with a statement that the last-named king was murdered in the Tower of London by Richard Duke of Gloucester, and was buried at Chertsey, where miracles were wrought at his tomb. This MS. of Harding's Chronicle ends imperfectly in the reign of Henry V; three leaves of Edw. I and II and one leaf of Henry IV and V are also missing.
