NOTES



Source copy consulted: The inventory is found in a volume located in "Papers of Robert 'King' Carter of 'Corotoman,' Lancaster County, Va.," Mss1 C2468 a 10, Virginia Historical Society, Richmond. There is a microfilm copy of the volume in the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia. The editor's work has been greatly facilitated by a typed transcript of the inventory prepared by Henrietta G. Goodwin for the Research Committee, Historic Christ Church Foundation Volunteers, in July 1983, which was obtained through the good offices of Lloyd T. Smith, Jr..

The staff of the Virginia Historical Society many years ago considered the question of who compiled the inventory. Their decision "was based on a fairly exhaustive comparison of handwriting of potential candidates. . . . It was not necessarily an easy decision given the clerical hand, but despite some votes to leave the compiler unknown, the consensus came down on Chapman." Richard Chapman was Carter's clerk who probably wrote sections of his his will, and who signed as one of the witnesses to it. It seems likely that other persons assisted Chapman in preparing the inventory by obtaining data from some of the outlying farms.

The volume containing the inventory is not in good condition with considerable damage to page corners and edges, especially of the initial pages. There is also staining of many pages which affects some text.

The first page of the inventory has lost the area on which the day of the month and the year of the inventory were written. Only the month of November remains of the original date. Carter's will was probated in the General Court on 1732 October 14, but it seems highly unlikely that all of the information required for the inventory could have been gathered in time to be copied into this record book by November 1732. Accordingly the year 1733 has been tentatively assigned to this record.

Tables with grid lines have been inserted into the text when it was felt necessary to do so to make bracketed material clearer.

The inventory was published in part as "Carter Papers: An Inventory of all the S *** and Personal Property of the Hon'ble Robert Carter of the County of Lancaster, Esq., Deceased, Taken as Directed in his Last Will, vizt." Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. 6 (1898-1899): 145-152, 260-68, and 365-70; and 7 (1898-1899): 64-68.

Louis B. Wright investigated the many books listed in this inventory and published his results in "The 'Gentleman's Library' in Early Virginia: The Literary Interests of the First Carters." Huntington Library Quarterly. 1(1937): 3-61. The editor has used Wright's work in preparing footnotes for the individual titles listed in the inventory, and has supplied references to Wright when applicable. Fuller titles than those that Wright published have been supplied from online sources such as the English Short Title Catalogue. Note that it is the custom of such sources to retain few capital letters in their records of book titles, and that dipthongs and accent marks have been replaced because the editor's software balks at them. If no footnote to a title is given, it means that there is insufficient information in the original text for the title to be determined. Wright's article notes that the place of publication is London unless otherwise recorded, but the editor has silently added the place of publication.

Because there are so many footnotes to the inventory, footnote numbers show the page number first followed by a decimal point, and by the number of the note on that page. The numerical sequence of footnote numbers begins again with one after the page number and decimal point for each page.

[1.1] "Vizt." is the abbreviation for the Latin word "videlicet"; it means "namely."

[1.11] "Imps." is the abbreviation for the Latin word "imprimis" which means "in the first place; first. Orig[inally] used to introduce the first of a number of items, as in an inventory or will; thence in more general use." ( Oxford English Dictionary )

[1.2] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "chaney" was an old dialect term for "china."

[2.05] A bolster is "a long stuffed pillow or cushion used to support the sleeper's head in a bed; the name is now restricted to the under-pillow, stuffed with something firm, which extends from side to side, and on which the softer and flatter pillows are laid." ( Oxford English Dictionary )

[2.1] From Linda Baumgarten, curator of textiles and costumes at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the editor has learned, "The curtains were made from a type of textile known as 'cheney, cheyney, or china' in the 17th and 18th centuries. This fabric was a wool worsted textile, relatively fine quality, though not as expensive as silk. The textiles called cheney were sometimes embossed with a moire or 'watered' pattern to increase their resemblance to silk. See Florence Montgomery, Textiles in America, 1650-1870 (New York: WW Norton, a Winterthur Book, n. d.), p. 199." The editor sends his thanks to Ms. Baumgarten for her invaluable assistance in solving this and other mysteries over some years.

[2.2] A valance is a short piece of drapery that extends across the window to conceal the support rods.

[2.3] A teaster is the canopy and its supports over a bed.

[2.4] The term "headpiece" is probably used here to mean the headboard of a bed.

[2.5] Louis B. Wright thought this entry might be either James Howell, Lexicon Tetraglotten: an English-French-Italian-Spanish Dictionary, 3 pts. (London, 1650, 1659) or A French-English Dictionary . . . by Randle Cotgrave . . . Whereunto Are Added the Animadverstions and Supplements of James Howell. (London, 1650).

The practive of physic, in seventeen several books wherein is plainly set forth the nature, cause, differences, and several sorts of signs : together with the cure of all diseases in the body of man. By N. Culpeper, A. Cole, and W. Rowland. Being Chiefly a Translation of the Works of L. Riverius. (London: 1655). This book went through many editions with slightly varying titles of which the one given is the earliest; this copy had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John. (Wright."The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 43.)

[2.11] Wright was unable to identify this title, and the present editor found one possibility, but it does not exactly fit the inventory's description: Annotations upon the whole book of Isaiah. Wherein, first, all such passages in the text are explained, as were thought likely to be questioned by any reader of ordinary capacity.Secondly, in many clauses those things are discovered, which are needful and useful to be known, and not so easily at the first reading observed. And thirdly, many places that might at first seem to contradict one another, are reconciled. Intended chiefly for the assistance and information of those that use constantly every day to read some part of the Bible, and would gladly always understand what they read, if they had some man to help them.

[2.13] Louis B. Wright thought this entrymight be The liues of the noble grecians and romanes, compared together by that graue learned philosopher and historiographer, plutarke of chaeronea:translated out of greeke into french by iames amyot, abbot of bellozane, bishop of auxerre, one of the kings priuy counsel, and great amner of fraunce, and out of french into englishe, by Thomas North.

[2.14] Bulstrode Whitelock. Memorials of the english affairs; or, an historical account of what passed from the beginning of the reign of King Charles the First to King Charles the Second his happy restoration. (London, 1682). There were two separate editions of this work in 1709 as well. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. .55)

[2.15] Ralph Brownrig. Fourty sermons by the right reverend father in God, Ralph Brownrig, late Lord Bishop of Exceter. (London, 1661-64).This book had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John. Louis Wight noted that Brownrigg published another edition titled Sixty-five Sermons in 1674, but the English Short Title Catalogue shows many other editions of sermons by Brownrig. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 41.)

[2.16] Nicolo Machiavelli. The works of the famous Nicolas Machiavel, citizen and secretary of florence. written originally in italian, and from thence newly and faithfully translated into English.

Louis Wright mistakenly identified the author as "Francis" rather than "Thomas." (Wright. "The iterary Interests of the First Carters." p. 60.)

[2.18] Louis Moreri. The great historical, geographical, genealogical and poetical dictionary; being a curious miscellany of sacred and prophane history. . . . collected from the best historians, chronologers, and lexicographers; . . . especially out of Lewis Morery, . . .

[3.1] Michael Dalton. The countrey justice; containing the practice of the justices of the peace as well in as out of their sessions: gathered for the better help of such justices of peace as have not been much conversant in the study of the laws of this realm.

[3.2] George Croke. The first part though last publish't of the reports of Sr George Croke Kt, late one of the justices of the Court of King's-Bench, and formerly one of the justices of the Court of Common-Bench; of such select cases, as were adjudged in the said courts, from the 24th to th 44th/45 of the late Queen Elizabeth.

This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 21.)

[3.2.1] There is insufficient information to identify this "Large folio Bible" further. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 55.)

(London, 1683).(Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 50.)

[3.4] Wright wrote, "This volume of Caesar's Commenatries was very likely a translation, probably one of Clement's Edmondes' polular editions, first published in 1600." The present editor wonders if it could not have been one of Carter's school texts as he studied Latin during his six years of English education. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 52.)

[3.5] Modern reports, or, select cases adjudged in the courts of King's-bench, chancery, common-pleas, and exchequer, since the restauration of his Majesty King Charles II.

Translated into English by Mr. Serjeant Salkeld, and others . . . In three parts. (London, 1722). Wright entered a reference to an edition of the work in French, but the present editor has chosen the English edition because the inventory notes the title in English. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 49.)

Jasper Batt. (London, 1658). Wright wrote that this title was "in such fragmentary form" that it could not be identified, but given Carter's interest in religious writings, this title seems a good possibility. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 51.)

Fortescutus illustratus, or A commentary on that nervous treatise De laudibus legum Angliae, written by Sir John Fortescue Knight, first Lord Chief Justice, after Lord Chancellour to King Henry the Sixth.

[4.32] "Under Calvin's leadership the Psalms were translated into metrical form by Clement Marot and Theodore de Beze. The completed French or 'Genevan' Psalter was published in 1562. An English collection of metrical Psalms was also published in 1562-the Sternhold and Hopkins Psalter. Later known as the 'Old Version,' this was the most widely used English psalter for more than a century. . . . The Sternhold and Hopkins Psalter became the 'Old Version' in 1696 with the appearance of 'A New Version of the Psalms of David, fitted to the tunes used in Churches' by two Irishmen, Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady. The 'New Version' gave literary excellence precedence over literal translation, resulting in much freer paraphrase.

[5.1] This pages has considerable damage along its right edge but few entries are affected. It is indicated in the margin to the left of the entry for Tacitus Works that all these volumes are octavo (8 vo ) in size. A double vertical rule separates this notation from the list, but the editor's software does not permit its reproduction.

[5.2] Cornelius Tacitus. The works of Tacitus. Volume I: Containing the Annals. To which are prefixed, Political Discourses Upon that Author. (London, [1728]-1731). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.54.)

[5.8] Wright read this entry as Dr. Mottous; it is clear asd "Motton" to this editor. However, extensive searching has not found a "Motton" who was a cleric of this period. Wright located William Wotton, dean of Canterbury who did write a tract in the "rights" controversy: The rights of the clergy in the Christian church asserted. In a sermon preached at Newport Pagnel in the county of Bucks, September 2. 1706. at the primary visitation of . . . William Lord Bishop of Lincoln. . . . By W. Wotton, B.D. (London, 1706). (Wright.

Wright chose another title by Hill: A thorough examination of the false principles and fallacious arguments, advanc'd against the Christian Church, priest-hood, and religion: In a late pernicious Book, ironically Intituled, The Rights of the Christian Church Asserted, &c. In a Dialogue between Demas and Hierarcha. Humbly Offered to the Consideration of the Nobility and Gentry of England. By Samuel Hill, Rector of Killmington, and Arch-Deacon of Wells, (London, 1708). Carter probably had both titles since the next inventory entry is "D[itt]o . . . D[itt]o . . . ag[ain]st Ditto." (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 56.)

[5.10] Edmund Ludlow.

English Short Title Catalogue This book had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John.This title went through many editions that John Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.53.)

[5.19] See Note 13.7. Wright wrote of this title, Many editions before and after this date [1579]. Carter's inventory lists three other copies. . . . "The English Short Title Catalogue has ninety-six entries that include the words "terms" and "law."

[5.20] An abridgement of the publick laws of Virginia, in force and use, June 10. 1720. . . . (London, 1722).

Digested under proper heads in the method of Mr. Wingate, and Mr. Washington's Abridgments. (London, 1704). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 45.)

(London, 1616). This title went through many editions that Carter might have owned. Wright chose one of 1652. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 47.)

[5.22] Johann Amos Comenius. Janua linguarum reserata Janua linguarum reserata: siue Omnium scientiarum & linguarum seminarium: id est compendiosa Latinam & Anglicam, aliasque linguas, & artium etiam fundamenta addiscendi methodus.

The title listed here is the earliest one in the English Short Title Catalogue but as it is the fifth edition, there were earlier ones. This title went through many editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.59.)

[5.23] Wright chose William Nelson, Reports of special cases argued and decreed in the Court of Chancery, in the reigns of King Charles I. King Charles II. and King William III. None of them ever before printed. Published by W. Nelson, . . . (London, 1717). But there are at least two other titles in the English Short Title Catalogue that fit the inventory's brief entry. One is The reports and entries of Sir Edward Lutwyche, Serjeant at Law, and late one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. The several cases therein are truly stated upon the respective Pleadings and Entries, in English. Also Every Citation in the Report is carefully examin'd by the Law-Books to which they refer, and where they agree, and where they differ from the Point in Question made appear; and those ranged in that Order as in many Places to form an Argument where there was none before; with large Observations. Likewise Many obsolete Words and difficult Sentences are explain'd; which are printed in a different Character. Composed in a plain and easy method, and made very useful for Students and Practisers of the Common Law. By W. Nelson of the Middle-Temple, Esq; (London, 1718), and the other is: The reports and entries of Sir Edward Lutwyche, . . . The several cases therein are truly stated . . . in English. . . . By W. Nelson . . . (London, 1718). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 49.)

Faithfully extracted out of the said statutes, from the beginning of Magna Carta: to the said time, and alphabetically digested under apt titles. Whereunt is also annexed, a perfect table, which may serve as a concordance, for the ready discovery of any materiall clause throughout the said statutes. By Edm. Wingate, of Grayes Inne Esq. (London, 1655). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.51.)

[5.25] G. T. The practick part of the law: shewing the office of a compleat attorney in the full prosecution of any action, whether reall, personall, or mixt; (from the very originall to the execution) in all courts: with the exact fees of all officers and ministers of the courts.

With an exact table, wherein are contained all the principall matters in the whole book. This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (London, [1652]). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.51.)

[5.26] Charles Molloy. De jure maritimo et navali: or, A treatise of affaires maritime, and of commerce. In three books. (London, 1676). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.51 .)

[5.27] William Brown. A compendious and accurate treatise of recoveries upon writs of entry in the post. And fines upon writs of covenant. With ample and copious instructions, how to draw, acknowledge, and levy the same in all cases. Being a work performed, with great exactness, and full of variety of clerkship. (London, 1678) This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned.. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.46 .)

[5.28] John Selden. Of the judicature in parliaments: a posthumous treatise: wherein, the controversies and precedents belonging to that title, are methodically handled. (London, 1681). Wright cites a 1690 edition of this work. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 50.)

[5.29] John Fortescue. De laudibus legum Angliae De laudibus legum Angliae written by Sir John Fortescue Lord Ch. Justice, and after Lord Chancellor to K. Henry vj. Hereto are added the two sums of Sir Ralph de Hengham L. Ch. Justice to K. Edward I., commonly call'd Hengham Magna, & Hengham Parva. With notes both on Fortescu and Hengham, by that famous and learned antiquarie John Selden Esq. (London, 1672). The variant title of this volume is "Fortescue, in commendation of the laws of England" which is nearly the inventory's citation. Wright chose a 1567 London edition of the book: De laudibus legum Angliae. English and Latin A learned commendation of the politique lawes of Englande: vvherin by moste pitthy reasons [and] euident demonstrations they are plainelye proued farre to excell aswell the ciuile lawes of the Empiere, as also all other lawes of the world, with a large discourse of the difference betwene the. ii. gouernements of kingdomes: whereof the one is onely regall, and the other consisteth of regall and polityque administration conioyned. written in latine aboue an hundred yeares past, by the learned and right honorable maister Fortescue knight . . .

[5.30] Edmund Wingate. The body of the common law of England: as it stood in force before it was altered by statute, or acts of Parliament or state. Together with an exact collection of such statutes, as have altered, or do otherwise concern the said law. By E.W. (London, 1655). Wright could not determine a title to enter for this inventory reference, and indeed, there are sixty-seven entries in the English Short Title Catalogue that contain the words "Body" and "Law." This Wingate title seems a good match, and Carter had other titles by this author. Wingate's compilation went through several editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.51 .)

[5.31] William Sheppard. The whole office of the country justice of peace. Wherein is plainly set down all their power and duty both in and out of the quarter sessions. With the ordinances and acts of this present Parliament abridged, that any way concerneth their power. In two bookes. By Willia Sheppard Esq: sometime of the Middle Temple. (London, 1650). Wight entered the 1652 second edition, and there were many subsequent editions. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 50.)

[5.32] Neither Wright nor the present editor have been able to locate a book title that fits this short entry in the inventory.. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 51.)

[5.33] John Herne. The law of conveyances, shewing the natures, kinds, and effects, of all manner of assurances, with the manner of their several executions and operations.

A warrant to summon a court of survey: and the articles to be given in charge, and inquired of in that court.

[5.34] The practice of the High Court of Chancery unfolded. With the nature of the several offices belonging to that court. And the reports of many cases wherein relief hath been there had, and where denied. Never heretofore published. (London, 1652). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. Another possibility is William Brown, The practice of the High Court of Chancery, as now regulated by act of Parliament. Being A Curious Collection of Bills, Answers, Demurrers, Reports, Orders, Exceptions, Decrees, Commissions, Appeals, with other Precedents, Writs, and Processes. To which is prefix'd, a useful introduction explaining the present method and practice of that court in its several Branches (London, 1706), and there are other titles in the English Short Title Catalogue that contain the words "Practice" and "Chancery.". (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 50.)

[5.35] Thomas Blount. Resolutions of the judges upon the several statutes of bankrupts The judges resolutions upon the several statutes concerning bankrupts, with the like resolutions on the statutes of 13 Eliz. and 27 Eliz. touching fraudulent conveyances. By George Billinghurst of Grayes-Inne, Esq; (London, 1676). Wright chose this title attributing it to George Billinghurst whose name appears on the title page, but as the English Short Title Catalogue reports in a note for the book, "Not in fact by George Billinghurst, but by Thomas Blount, who signs the dedication: T.B." Billinghurst did publish in 1695 a similar title, All the statutes now in force and use concerning bankrupts, are here methodically digested. Together with the judges resolutions thereupon. As also their resolutions on the statutes of 13 Eliz. and 27 Eliz. touching fraudulent conveyances. To which are added the late acts against fraudulent devices and clandestine mortgages. By G.B. of Grays-Inn, Esq;, that could be the book cited in the inventory, and there are some others as well. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 45.)

[5.36] Giles Duncombe. Tryals per pais; or, The law, concerning juries by nisi-prius, &c. Methodically composed for the publick good, in the 16th year of the reign of our soveraign Lord Charls the Second, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, &c. By S.E. of the Inner-Temple, Esquire. (London, 1695). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 47.)

[5.37] Thomas Forster. The lay-mans lawyer: or, the second part of the practice of the law: relating to the punishments of offences committed against the publike peace, with presidents of indictments and warrants, with proceedings to judgment.

The office and duty of a gaoler: with an appendix touching the duty of a church-warden and overseer of the poor; so far as they are coincidently assistant to constables in their office of preserving the peace. Very usefull for all sorts of people, whose duty it is to serve God, and their lawfull governours in peace. Extracted out of the statutes of the kings of England, and the Acts of the late Parliaments. (London, 1654). Wright does not have an entry for this title because it was not listed in the article in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography on which his work was based ("Carter Papers: An Inventory. . . ." ).

[5.38] George Carew. Reports or causes in chancery, collected by Sir George Cary one of the masters of the chancery in in [sic] anno 1601. out of the labours of Master William Lambert. Whereunto is annexed, the Kings order and decree in chancery, for a rule to be observed by the chancellor in that court, exemplified and enrolled for a perpetuall record there. Anno 1616. Together with an alphabeticall table of all the cases. (London, 1650). A note in the English Short Title Catalogue entry for this volume states that "Sir George Cary = Sir George Carew; William Lambert = William Lambarde." Wright entered the volume as by Cary not knowing that this was a pseudonym. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. .)

[5. 39] Thomas Ireland. An exact abridgment in English, of the eleven books of reports of the learned Sir Edward Coke, Knight, late Lord Chiefe Justice of England, and of the Councel of Estate to His Majestie, King James.

"The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 45.)

[5.46] A collection of such of the orders heretofore used in Chauncery, with such alterations and additions thereunto, as the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners for the Great Seal of England, by and with the advice and assistance of the Honorable the Master of the Rolls, have thought fit at present (in order to a further reformation now under their Lordships consideration) to ordain and publish, for reforming of several abuses in the said Court, preventing multiplicity of suits, motions, and unnecessary charge to the suitors, and for their more expeditious and certain course for relief. (London : printed by Robert White for Franics Tyton, and are to be sold at his shop, at the three Daggers near the Inner-Temple, Fleetstreet 1652.) (London, 1652). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 47.)

[6.0] While the original text is reasonably clear as "chea," the editor wonders if the clerk may have attempted to write "sheer" as he can find no other word that seems to fit.

[6.05] A close stool is "A chamber utensil [chamber pot or commode] enclosed in a stool or box." ( Oxford English Dictionary )

[6.06] Linen is fabric made from flax. ( Oxford English Dictionary )

[6.2] A trundle is a low bed, often on wheels, meant to be stored under a higher bed when not in use.

[6.3] "Oriental lacquer objects were first imported into Europe in the late sixteenth century. Imitations of lacquer and other decorative surfaces by European craftsmen using their own materials and techniques were known as 'japanning'." ( Katja Tovar Azuero. "The Development of English Black Japanning 1620-1820," posted by the furniture conservator on the website of the Victoria and Albert Mueum, http://www.vam.ac.uk/res_cons/conservation/journal/issue52/j apanning52/index.html. )

[6.4] Scrutore is word derived from escritoire; it means "a writing-desk constructed to contain stationery and documents; in early use, often one of a portable size; more recently, chiefly applied to a larger piece of furniture, a bureau or secretary." ( Oxford English Dictionary )

[6.5] Camblet was "originally a costly fabric made from camel hair or angora wool; also a wide variety of similar cloth made from silk, wool, or combinations of fibres; camlets were characterized by silky texture and were often watered." ( "Of Silk, Cotton, Linen and Wool." 18c New England Life: Clothing & Accoutrements. http://www.18cnewenglandlife.org/18cNEL/ofsilk.htm. 1/8/04 )

[6.6] Gaultier de Coste. Pharamond:or, The history of France. A new romance. In four parts. Written originally in French, by the author of Cassandra and Cleopatra: and now elegantly rendered into English. (London, 1662). This title went through several editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 61.)

[6.7] John Harris. Lexicon technicum magnum; or an universal English dictionary of arts and sciences: . . . by John Harris, . . . (London, 1702). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 60.)

[6.8] Matthew Hale. The primitive origination of mankind, considered and examined according to the light of nature. Written by the Honourable Sir Matthew Hale Knight: late chief justice of His Majesties court of King's Bench. (London, 1677). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 58.)

[6.9] Madeleine de Scudery. Ibrahim. Or The illustrious bassa. An excellent new romance. The whole work, in foure parts. Written in French by Monsieur de Scudery, and now Englished by Henry Cogan, gent. (London, 1652). This novel went through several editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 61.)

[6.10] Nathaniel Ingelo. Bentivolio and Urania, in four bookes. By N.I. D.D. (London, 1660).This title went through at least eight editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 61.)

[6.11] Jacob Giles. Lex mercatoria: or, the merchant's companion. Containing all the laws and statutes relating to merchandize. Wherein our trade with foreign nations is illustrated; . . . With an introduction, . . . To which is added, in proper places, the best adapted presidents of instruments and writings u'd in all cases relating to trade. (London, 1718). Wright believed this title was one by Gerard de Malynes, Consuetudo, vel lex mercatoria, or The ancient law- merchant. Diuided into three parts: according to the essentiall parts of trafficke. Necessarie for all statesmen, iudges, magistrates, temporall and ciuile lawyers, mint- men, merchants, marriners, and all others negotiatin in all places of the world. By Gerard Malynes merchant. That certainly is possible, but the book by Giles seems to this editor to have been more likely as it would have been much more current for Carter. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 49.)

Wright also notes a title by Cotton Mather, Lex mercatoria. Or, The just rules of commerce declared. And offences against the rules of justice in the dealing of men with one another, detected. With a testimony publickly given against all dishonest gain, in the audience of the General Assembly of the province of the Massachuset-Bay, New-England. Nov. 9. 1704. [Two lines from Catullus]. He wrote of it, from the general nature of Carter's library, it seem more likely that his book was Malynes' work." Thsi editor agrees that Carter's interest would have been in the practical matters and law of trade, but as noted above, believes that Giles' book is the likely one.

[6.12] Edward Coke. The first part of the Institutes of the lawes of England. Or, A commentarie vpon Littleton, not the name of a lawyer onely, but of the law it selfe. Authore Edw. Coke Milite. (London, 1628). This semina work went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 46.)

By Sir Charles Cotterell, master of the ceremonies to his late Majesty of blessed memory, aud [sic] to our present Soveraign Charles II. King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, &c. (London, 1664). This book had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 61.)

[6.15] Edward Hatton. An intire system of arithmetic: or arithmetic in all its parts. Containing I. Vulgar. II. Decimal. . . . With an appendix, . . . Written by Edward Hatton gent. (London, 1721). (The editor has been unable to locate an entry for this title in Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." )

[6.16] Joseph Addison. The works of the Right Honourable Joseph Addison, Esq; In four volumes. . . . (London, 1721) This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned.Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 61.)

[7.1] Wright was unable to locate a title for this book, and the best possibility that the current editor can find is William Baldwin's A treatise of morall philosophie containing the sayings of the wise: wherin you may see the worthy & pithie sayings of philosophers, emperors, kings and oratours: of their liues, their answers, of what linage they come of, &of what countrie they were: whose worthy sentences, notable precepts, counsels, parables and semblables, doe heereafter follow. First gathered and partly set foorth by William Bauldwin, & now the fourth time since that inlarged by Thomas Paulfreyman, one of the gentlemen of the Queenes Maiesties Chappell. (London, 1605). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright."The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 58.)

[7.2] Thomas Blount. Glossographia: or A dictionary, interpreting all such hard vvords, whether Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Teutonick, Belgick, British or Saxon; as are now used in our refined English tongue. Also the terms of divinity, law, physick, mathematicks, heraldry, anatomy, war, musick, architecture; and of several other arts and sciences explicated. With etymologies, definitions, and historical observations on the same. Very useful for all such as desire to understand what they read. By T.B. of the Inner-Temple, Barrester. (London, 1656). This book had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John. It went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. .)

[7.3] The English Short Title Catalogue lists at least twenty titles that include the phrase, "Assembly's Catechism." One good possibility that might have been Carter's book is Thomas Hall's A plain and easy explication of the Assemblies shorter catechism; confirmed with plenty of Scripture-proofs; very useful to all; especially to those of weaker capacity: by the late Mr. Thomas Hall minister at Enver, alias Larne, in the kingdom of Ireland. (London, 1697). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 58.)

[7.4] John Fielde. A godly exhoratation, by occasion of the late iudgement of God, shewed at Parris-garden, the thirteenth day of Ianuarie: where were assembled by estimation; aboue a thousand persons, whereof some were slaine; & of that number, at the least, as is crediblie reported, the thirde person maimed and hurt. Giuen to all estates for their instruction, concerning the keeping of the Sabboth day. (London, 1583). The present editor was unable to locate in the English Short Title Catalogue or elsewhere the the 1581 edition of this work listed by Wright. (Wright."The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 56.)

[7.5] Nathan Bailey. An universal etymological English dictionary: . . . by N. Bailey, . . . (London, 1721). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[7.6] Richard Mead. A mechanical account of poisons in several essays.By Richard Mead, M.D. (London, 1702). This title went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[7.7] There were a number of books that Carter might have owned that had similar titles such as Samuel Hill's The rights, liberties, and authorities, of the Christian Church. . . . By Samuel Hill . . . (London, 1701), Jean Le Clerc's Mr. Le Clerc's Extract and judgment of The rights of the Christian church asserted, &c. Translated from his Bibliotheque choisie, tome X. T which is prefix'd, a letter to a noble peer, occasion'd by a late presentment of the Grand Jury of Middlesex, (London, 1708), and the one that Wright chose: Mathew Tindal, The rights of the Christian church asserted, against the Romish, and all other priests who claim an independent power over it. With a preface concerning the government of the Church of England, as by law establish'd. Part I. (London, 1706). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 58.)

[7.8] Thomas Willsford. Willsfords arithmetick, naturall, and artificiall: or, decimalls.Containing the science of numbers, digested in three books. Made compendious and facile for all ingenious capacities, viz: merchants, citizens, sea-men, accomptants, &c.

By Thomas Willsford, Gent. (London, 1656). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.60 .)

[7.9] Thomas Comber. A companion to the altar. Or, an help to the worthy receiving of the Lords Supper; by discourses and meditations upon the whole communion office. To which is added, an essay upon the offices of baptism and confirmation. By Tho. Comber, M.A. (London, 1675). This title went through six editions and may have been continued by William Vickers under a similar title: A companion to the altar: shewing the nature and necessity of a sacramental preparation, in order to our worthy receiving the Holy Communion. . . . Vickers' book went through many editions during Carter's lifetime. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 1675.)

[7.10 ] Peter Levens. The path-vvay to health; wherein are to be found most excellent and approved medicins of great vertue, as also notable potions and drinks, with the art of distilling divers precious waters, for making of oyles, and other comfortable receipts, for the health of the body, never before printed. First gathered by Peter Levens, Mr. of Arts in Oxford, and student in Physick and Chirurgery, and now newly corrected and augmented. Published according to order. (London, 1664). This title went through a number of editions published earlier than this one.

Wright believed that this title was one by Thomas Tryon, The way to health, long life and happiness, or, A discourse of temperance and the particular nature of all things requisit for the life of man, as all sorts of meats, drinks, air, exercise, &c. with special directions how to use each of them to the best advantage of the body and mind. . . . (London, 1683), but as the term "pathway" does not appear in this title, the present editor has chosen the title by Levens as more likely. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.59 .)

[7.11] Samuel Crossman. The young man's calling, or The whole duty of youth. In a serious and compassionate address to all young persons to remember their creator in the days of their youth. Together with remarks upon the lives of several excellent young persons of both sexes, as well ancient a modern, noble and others, who have been famous for piety and vertue in their generation. With sculptures illustrating the several histories. And also divine poems. Licensed and entred according to order. (London, 1678). Wright based his entry upon one in Joseph Sabin's Biblioteca Americana, but noted that no copy was then extant. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." pp. 60-61 )

[7.12] Louis Wright wrote of this entry, "Richard Fiddes published a number of separate sermons in 1703, 1708, 1714, etc. These were probably bound up to make" volumes, perhaps ordered by Carter from a London bookseller as this editor has not been able to find a published compilation. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 56.)

[7.13] Pierre Desmaizeaux. An historical and critical account of the life and writings of Wm. Chillingworth, Chancellor of the Church of Sarum. (London, 1725). Wright identified this title as Francis Cheynell's [Chillingworthi novissima: or, the] sickness, [heresy, death, and burial] of William Chillingworth; (in his own phrase) clerk of Oxford; [and(in the] conceit of his fellow-soldiers) the Queen's arch-engineer, and grand-intelligencer: . . . By Francis Cheynell, . . . Publish'd by authority, in the year 1644; now re-published, . . . in 1725. But the Desmaizeaux biography seems a closer fit with the inventory description. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.53 .)

[7.14] There were numerous translations of Homer's Iliads that Carter might have owned. Robert Carter's older brother John had owned a copy. . Wright speculated that the book might have been the translation by George Chapman published in 1611, or one by John Ogilby in 1660. If this book was that inherited from his brother, then either the Chapman or Ogilby editions were good possibilities. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. .61)

[7.15] Henry Curson. The office and duty of executors : or, A treatise directing testators, to form, and executors to perform their wills and testaments according to law. Originally compiled by that judicious and approved author, Thomas Wentworth. And now enlarged with a supplement, containing divers, matters and things omitted or not comprized in former impressions, relating to wills, executors, administrators, devises, legacies, &c. Collected from the common and statute laws, methodically digested, rendring the whole compleat, and in all it [!] parts conformable to the present time and laws in force. With references to the divers acts of Parliament and authentick books of reports both antient and modern authorizing and approving the same. By H. Curson. (London, 1703). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 46.)

[7.16] Samuel Pufendorf. An introduction to the history of the kingdoms and states of Asia, Africa and America, . . . according to the method of Samuel Puffendorf, .. . (London, 1705). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 54.)

The vse heerof you shall see after, in the preface to the carefull school-master, and more fully in the grammar-school, Chap. 8. Try according to the direction following, and then indulge. (London, 1622).There were many editions of this title, includintg some published in Boston, that Carter might have owned. Wright chose a Boston edition, but the current editor believes that Carter is more likely to have owned a London edition. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 60.)

[7.20] Ovid. P. Ovidii Nasonis Metamorphosis. Ex accuratissimis virorum doctissimorum castigationibus emendata,& in lucem edita. (London, 1620).There were many editions of this title that Carter might have owned. Wright chose a different edition but the one cited here seems to be a complete title with the inventory's words appearing early in its title. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 61.)

[7.21] Nicholas Culpeper. The idea of practical physick in twelve books. Viz. 1 The art to preserve health. 2 Of the preternatural disorders of mans body, and their signs. 3 Of medicaments. 4 Of the art of healing. 5 Of the general cure of diseases. 6 Of external diseases. 7 Of feavers. 8 Of head diseases. 9 Of middle-belly diseases. 10 Of lower-belly diseases. 11 Of venemous diseases. 12 Of childrens diseases. These twelve books are of excellent use for all yong students in physick. They contain the marrow of all the works of Daniel Sennertus, and Fernelius, and twenty-five physitians more, mentioned in the authors epistle. They are of so high esteem with many learned doctors of physick, that they have been read by them to their scholers, as the best extant in their kind. Written in Latin by John Johnston, professor of physick in the famous city of Francfort. And Englished by Nich. Culpeper, gentleman student in physick and astrology. And W.R. (London, 1657). Culpeper published a number of books on medical subjects and on midwifery. This title seems closer to the inventory's short title than the one Wright selected. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[7.22] John Clarke. An introduction to the making of Latin; comprising, after an easy and compendious method, the substance of the Latin syntax. . . . The third edition. To which, .. . is subjoin'd, .. . a succinct account of .. . ancient Greece and Rome; . . . By John Clarke, . . . (London, 1721). When Wright published his article about the Carters' libraries in 1937, the earliest known edition of this book was that of 1740; he notes that a 1742 edition was recorded as the thirteenth. The title listed is the earliest now found in the English Short Title Catalogue, but it is the third edition. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[7.221] The inventory entry for this volume is too vague to allow for identification. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p.60 .)

[7.23] Cornelius Nepo. The lives of illustrious men. Written in Latin by Corn. Nepos, and done into English by several hands (London, 1684). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 54.)

[7.26] John Scott. The Christian life. Part II. Wherein the fundamental principles of Christian duty are assigned, explained, and proved. Volume I. By John Scott Rector of St. Peters Poor, London. Scott's book went through at least fifty editions during Carter's lifetime, but this one specifically notes that it is "Volume 1." (London, 1685). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 57.)

[7.27] John Scott. The Christian life. Part III. Wherein the great duties of justice, mercy, and mortification are fully explained and inforced. Vol. IV. By John Scott, . . . (London, 1710). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 57.)

[7.28] Daniel Defoe. Reformation of manners, a satyr (London, 1702).The title that Carter owned might have been Josiah Woodward's An account of the societies for reformation of manners, in England and Ireland.

Published with the approbation of a considerable number of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and honourable judges of both ingdoms.

Together with divers treatises not hitherto reduced to the greater volume: and, some others never till now published by Jos: Exon. 1634. (London, 1634).

A collection in English, of the statutes nowe in force, continued from the beginning of Magna Charta, made in the 9. yeere of the reigne of King H.3. vntill the ende of the session of Parliament holden in the 23. yeere of the reigne of our gratious Queene Elizabeth, vnde titles placed by order of alphabet: wherein is performed (touching the statutes wherewith iustices of the peace haue to deale) so much as was promised in the booke of their office lately published . . .

Above fifteen thousand of the said books in Latin have been sold in a very few yeers, having been eight times printed, though all the former impressions wanted the nature, causes, signs, and differences of the diseases, and had only the medicines for the cure of them; as plainly appears by the authors epistle. The names of the seventeen books . . . are printed . . . and put before these books With these books is bound a physical dictionary, . . . (London, 1655). This book had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[7.39] There is insufficient evidence in the inventory for this title to be identified. None of thirty titles found in the English Short Title Catalogue by searching on the words "Hall" and "Annotations" are good possibilities. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 51.)

[7.40] William Perkins. A golden chaine, or the description of theologie, containing the order of the causes of saluation and damnation, according to Gods worde. A viewe of the order wherof, is to be seene in the table annexed. Written in Latin by William Perkins, and translated by an other. Hereunto is adioyned the order which M.

[7.42] The times, places, and persons of the holie Scripture. Otherwise entituled, The generall view of the Holy Scriptures. (London, 1607). This book has been attributed to Thomas Hayne, but the English Short Title Catalogue cites Hayne himself that he was not the author: "Hayne says the original author is unknown but the text expands some of the material in Broughton's Concent of scripture (STC 3850)." (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 56.)

[7.43] Richard Perceval. A dictionarie in Spanish and English / first published into the English tongue by Ric.

This entry is not listed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography article that Wright used as the source for his study of the Carter library: ("Carter Papers: An Inventory. . . ." )

[7.45] Richard Baxter. A possible title by this prolific religious author is Christian concord: or The agreement of the Associated Pastors and Churches of Worcestershire. With Rich. Baxter's explication and defence of it, and his exhortation to unity. (London, 1653). This entry is not listed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography article that Wright used as the source for his study of the Carter library: ("Carter Papers: An Inventory. . . ." )

[8.1] William West. The first part of symboleography, which may bee termed The art, or description of instruments and presidents. Lately perused and amended by William West of the Inner Temple esquire, first author thereof.. (London, 1598) .Wright notes that there was a 1592 edition, but this editor has not been able to locate a record for one.nor could he locate a title by West that incorporates the word "pattern" which makes this entry puzzling. It may refer to West's The second part of Symboleography, newly corrected and amended, and very much enlarged in all the foure seuerall treatises. 1. Of fines and concordes. 2. Of common recoueries. 3. Of offences and indictments. 4. Of compromises and arbitrements.

Hereunto is also added a table for the more easy and readie finding of the matters herein contayned: the new additions hauing therein this marke set before them. These titles went through a number of editions that Carter might have owned.(Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 51.)

[8.2] Wright wrote of this title, "Possibly a treatise in some controversy involving Cardinal Roberto Bellarmino." (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. .55)

[8.3] Richard Crakanthorpe. The defence of Constantine: vvith a treatise of the Popes temporall monarchie.

The fuifth and final volume was published in 1705.There is another entry for this title on page four of the inventory. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 53.)

[8.6] Simon Patrick. The parable of the pilgrim: written to a friend. By Symon Patrick. B.D. (London, 1665). This title went through at least eight editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 57.)

Written in Spanish, and translated into English by I.M. of Magdalen Hall in Oxford. (London, 1632). This title went through several editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright.

[8.8] Commentarii Collegii Conimbricensis Societatis Iesv in universam dialecticam nunc primum. (ed. Venice, 1606). "Toward the end of the sixteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth, voluminous commentaries on the philosophical writings of Aristotle went forth from the university (of Coimbra in Portugal). . . The last treatise [cited here] was prepared for printing by Father Sebastian Couto. The entire eight parts formed five qaurto volumes, enjoyed a wide circulation, and appeared in many editions, the best known being those of Lyon, Lisbon, and Colgne." ( New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04252a.htm, 4/24/2007 ) The editor is unable to locate an English edition of this work, and can only presume that Carter may have had one of the numerous European editions such as the Mainz one cited by Wright. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 60.)

[8.9] John Smith. The mysterie of rhetorique unvail'd, wherein above 130 the tropes and figures are severally derived from the Greek into English, together with lively definitions and variety of Latin English scriptural examples, pertinent to each of them apart.

By John Smith Gent. (London, 1657 [1656]). This title went through three editions that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 60.)

(London, 1652).There was another edition of this title in 1653 as well as a number in French. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 45.)

[8.12]Franco Petri Burgersdijck. Burgersdicii Institutionum logicarum libri duo. Ad juventutem Cantabrigiensem. Cantabrigiae: (Cambridge, 1637).

[8.13] Dudley Fenner. Sacra theologia, sive, Veritas quae est secundum pietatem . . . Altera editio, priore emendatior. (Geneva,1586).There does not seem to have been an English edition of this title. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 55.)

Zacharias Ursini, vere theologi (qui Heydelbergae catecheseos explicationem continuare solebat & iterare) diuerso tempore ab ipsius discipulis excepti.

Cum indice praecipuorum capitum. (Cambridge,1585). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 58.)

[8.15] Marcus Frederick Wendelin. Christianae theologiae libri II. . . . Editio novissima emendatior, etc. (Amsterdam, 1653). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 58.)

[8.17] Thomas Wills. Phraseologia Anglo-Latina or, Phrases of the English and Latin tongue: together with Paroemiologia Anglo-Latina or, A collection of English and Latin proverbs. For the use of schools. Wright attributed this title to William Walker but a note in the entry in the English Short Title Catalogue notes, "A divisional title page (A2r) appears to attribute both parts of this work to William Walker; however, only part 2, the Paroemiologia, is by him; the Phraseologia is by Thomas Willis." (London, 1672). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 60.)

[8.18] Bartholomeu Filipp. Tractado del conseio y de los consieros de los principes. Compuesto por el Doctor Bartolome Felippe: dirigido al muy altoy serenissimo Senor Cardenal Alberto Legado y Archiduque Daustria. (London, 1589). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 52.)

Combachii, Metaphysicorum, libri duo vniversam Primae philosophiae doctrinam theorematibus brevissimis comprehendentes, & commentariis necessaris illustrantes: studiosis ejus disciplinae per quam utiles & fructuosi. (Oxford, 1633). Wright listed a Lyon edition for this work, but an English edition would be likely for Carter. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[8.20] The English Short Title Catalogue list seventy-three entreies in response to a search on "Reports" and "Chancery." (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 47.)

[8.21] Richard Baxter. The right method for a settled peace of conscience, and spiritual comfort. In 32 directions. Written for the use of a troubled friend: and now published by Richard Baxter, teacher of the church at Kederminster in Worcestershire. (London, 1653).This book had been owned by Robert Carter's older brother John. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." pp. 41,55.)

Or Tables of logarithmes for absolute numbers from an unite to 100000; as also for sines, tangentes and secantes for every minute of a quadrant: with a plaine description of their use in arithmetike, geometrie, geographie, astronomie, navigation &c. These numbers were first invented by the most excellent Iohn Neper Baron of Marchiston, and the same were transformed, and the foundation and use of them illustrated with his approbation by Henry Briggs Sir Henry Savile Professor of Geometrie in the Vniversitie of Oxford. The uses whereof were written in Latin by the author himselfe, and since his death published in English by diverse of his friends according to his mind, for the benefit of such as understand not the Latin tongue. (London, 1631). (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59

[8.24] Christoph Scheibler. [Christophori Scheibleri, antehac in Academia Gissena professoris, et paedagogiarchae, nunc tremoniae in ecclesia superintendentis, & in gymnasio rectoris metaphysica] (Oxford, 1637). Scheibler published a number of books with "Metaphysica" in the title that Carter might have owned. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 59.)

[8.25] Francofort ad Moenum is the ancient Latin description of the German city of Frankfort. The inventory entry is too short to allow the identification of the volume from the one word title, "Epistolarum," given. This entry is not listed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography article that Wright used as the source for his study of the Carter library. ("Carter Papers: An Inventory. . . ." )

[8.26] Jean de Bussieres. Flosculi historici delibati nunc delibatiores redditi. Sive Historia universalis tam sacra, quam prophana rerum memorabilium, tam pace quam bello gestarum, usque ad annum M.DC.LVI.

Imperatorum, S.R.I. electorum, regum, ducum, principum, lectu non injucunda, cui annectuntur de summis pontificibus S. Malachiae prophetia, SS. Ecclesiae concilia, & schismata. (Oxford, 1663). Wright chose a book by Mark Zurius Boxhorn whose title begins with the words "Historia universalis . . ."(Leyden, 1652), but as the de Bussieres title carries a variant title of "Historia universalis tam sacra" and is an Englis edition, the present editor has chosen it. The inventory's first word for this entry is missing due to damage to the page. (Wright. "The Literary Interests of the First Carters." p. 52.)

[8.27] Edmund Wingate. The body of the common law of England: as it stood in force before it was altered by statute, or acts of Parliament or state.

Omnia ad usum & in gratiam Academiarum & scholarum in Anglia composita. Autore Mario D'Assigny S.S. Th.B. (London, 1699). Because this entry is incomplete due to damage to the page of the inventory, this title is one of several possibilities that incorporate the word "Rhetoricam." This entry is not listed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography article that Wright used as the source for his study of the Carter library. ("Carter Papers: An Inventory. . . ." )

[8.29] "The Society for the Reformation of Manners (i.e. Morals) was formed in Tower Hamlets, London, in 1690, and there developed a large number of Societies within a loose confederation. Their primary goal was the suppression of bawdy houses, street prostitution, profanity and general public immorality." Numerous sermons preached before one or another of the societies were published, and Carter may have a number of them. ( Rictor Norton, compiler,"Homosexuality in Eighteenth-Century England: A Sourcebook." http://www.infopt.demon.co.uk/1727ruin.htm, 4/29/2007 )

[8.30] This is a symbol very similar to a tobacco cask mark, and may in fact be one.

("Classics of American Colonial History," http://www.dinsdoc.com/bruce-1-0a.htm; 5/1/2007; p. 482.)

The textile could be fully or partially bleached. The term is sometimes paired with 'Holland,' indicating linen cloth, originally bleached at Holland, from whence it got its name. Eventually, 'Holland' became generic for linen. The textile would be used for clothing, such as aprons or shirts, as well as household 'linens'." (Linda Baumgarten, curator of textiles and costumes at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, email to the editor, 5/4/2007.)

[9.3] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a wash-ball is "a ball of soap (sometimes perfumed or medicated) used for washing the hands and face, and for shaving. . . ."

[10.1] "Gorcoroon" could refer to one of two possible textiles: 1. 'Grogram,' usually a silk and worsted or mohair mixture. Swatches labeled as 'figured grogram' have survived from ca . 1750. See Florence Montgomery, Textiles in America, plate D-15. 2. It could also refer to 'grosgrain,' a textile in which the weft yarns are heavier than the warps, giving a corded effect. Since this is a weave structure, the textile could be wool, silk or any other fiber. Silk was the most common historical fabric woven in this way." (Linda Baumgarten, curator of textiles and costumes at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, email to the editor, 5/4/2007.)

[10.2] Taffeta was "a light thin silk of high luster used especially as a dress fabric."

[10.3] The fabric referred to as "Bombays" here is probably bombaxine, a "dress material entirely of silk, later of silk and cotton." ( "Of Silk, Cotton, Linen and Wool." 18c New England Life: Clothing & Accoutrements. http://www.18cnewenglandlife.org/18cNEL/ofsilk.htm. 1/8/04 )

[10.4] Seersucker is "A thin linen, or sometimes cotton, fabric, striped and with a crimped or puckered surface, of Indian manufacture." ( Oxford English Dictionary ) The British found it in India and imported it and its name in the early 18th century.

[15.7] The [ Oxford English Dictionary ] "suggests [bed cord] was the CORD used to stretch the SACKING that provided the foundation for the BED. Occasional references in the Dictionary Archive suggest that the term was sometimes used in this sense, for instance abbreviated in 'Steddle, sacking Bottom and Cord' [Inventories (1754)]. Occurrences elsewhere in the Dictionary Archive, however, suggest that it was more commonly a CORD threaded through holes in the bed frame from side to side and from top to bottom to form a base on which was placed the BEDDING. This afforded the sleeper with some flexibility, since the long cord could adjust to the shape of the user. On top of the cords was placed a MAT or MATTRESS, hence the usual form of entry, again abbreviated, as in 'bedstead w'th matt & corde' [Inventories (1646)]. The term bed cord was rarely used in full, where the meaning and use of the abbreviated 'cord' was self-evident. However, in places where this was not the case, for instance in the shops, bed cords were quite common. The entry in one probate inventory of 'Sacking Cords 37 lb Bed Cords 40 ll' [Inventories (1780)] shows clearly the distinction between the cord designed to stretch a sacking base taut and the bed cords used on their own." ( "British History Online," http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=58697#s12, 6/4/2007 )

(Sorrells. title>Landholders & Landholdings. p.18; and Carter Papers: An Inventory. . . ."

[38.2] According to Nancy Sorrells, Carter held several hundred acres in the area of Lancaster County known as Antipoison Neck (south of Tabbs Creek) and some of the holdings extended north into Poplar Neck which lies between Tabbs and Dymer creeks.

[44.2] A number of entries for holdings are marked with the double LL symbol that Carter often used in his diary and letters to indicate the Lloyd estate that he leased for many years, and that he acquired title to not long before his death. It is possible that the use of the LL symblol in the inventory is to indicate quarters thsat were originally part of the Lloyd estate.

[44.3] Brick House Quarter was located in Richmond County possibly on Richardson Creek. In the 1733 inventory of Carter's estate, Simon Sallard was the overseer of several horses, 7 slaves, 9 hogs, 14 cattle.
