Cambridge University Library: MS Additional 8460
Miscellany in verse and prose (c.1665-1714. Elizabeth Lyttelton probably began compiling this manuscript in the mid to late 1660s, when she is first mentioned in her father's letters as helping him organize his papers (Keynes, Works, IV, p. 29, letter 21 (13 August 1668)). She might have continued until she gave the manuscript to her cousin Edward Tenison in 1714 (p. 174), though the latest dateable item in the miscellany is 1710 (see Item 6.25).)
Elizabeth Lyttelton (author, scribe)

Item 3 (Back matter), inside back cover, p. 174 rev.

[From pages 46 to 174 the pages are all reversed and Lyttelton began compiling material from the back of the volume, which has been rotated to form a new beginning to the volume. The contents description now follows the reversed order from the back of the volume.]

[The inside back cover contains various pencil marks: ""D 1/76"", " "Drened 8/1/82"", ""MS 749"", and ""2/204"". On p. 174 rev., the final page, are several items. A large signature of Mary Browne covers most of the middle of the page. A later owner has written this sideways: ""Mar 11th 1713/4 The gift of Mrs Lyttelton to Edward Tenison"". Tenison was Lyttelton's cousin. Also on this page appear instructions for a card game called the Turks and Christians. In the midst of the instructions is a Latin sentence, ""Populeam Virgam // ater Regina ferebat"", which might translate as the black Queen was carrying a poplar branch (though ater=black, but masculine). The number ""553"" has been written in the middle of the page.]
