A large Sword, the Hilt, which is of Wood, with an Iron Pomel, is above half a Yard long, and the Cross-bar above 1 ½ Foot, the Blade is four Foot in Length, and two Inches broad; it seems to be used about K. Edw. the 3d's Time. The Gift of Mr. Godfrey Haddon of Leedes. Another with the Year 1444 engraven upon it, which was during the victorious Henry the 6th's Reign, who was crowned at Paris, An. 1431, but has been altered since, the gilt Basket-Hilt being not near so ancient. An old fashioned Wheel-lock Pistol, the Stock and large Pomel curiously inlaid with Ivory: Given me by Sam. Atkinson of Leedes Gunsmith. A Gantlet faced with Velvet, the Studs gilt. Don. D. Is. Blackburn. It is more pliable (tho' of Iron) than a Leather Glove, near two Foot long to secure the Arm: It is very strong, full half Inch thick. A Belt, or Girdle of Needle-work, Variety of Colours, lined with Velvet. Don. D. Brian Dickson. An antique Stirrup, but short of the Abbot of Kirkstal's, of which elsewhere.

The Abbot of Kirkstal's drinking Glass, with waved Stripes of white Enamel; it is near a Foot deep, and nine Inches round; yet quite out-done by a Cup long preserved in the Orcades, which the Inhabitants, to patronize their Drunkenness, alledge St. Magnus their Apostle used to drink in, and present it full of Liquor to their Bishop the first Time he comes amongst them. This here was the Present of my Cousin Arthington, whose Mother was a Coheir of the Marshals, of which Family was the last Person, who died Abbot of Kirkstal, it being surrendered by his Successor. A Glass waved white and blew; another clear white, both which passed for Chinese in the former Age. A marbled Glass of many Colours, handsomly variegated, with a Speck of Gold, &c. A Rummer, with a Buck-hunting well represented. A Cut Glass. A double Glass, wherein different Liquors may be enclosed. A Glass Flower-pot overlaid with Bugle Work very nicely, in Form of one of the Horti imaginarii, with Roses, Daisies, and other Flowers, Strawberries, and small Fruits in great Variety of Colours; by Mrs. Ruth Thoresby, about the Year 1650.

The Abbot of Kirkstal's Salt-seller; it hath eight Triangular Salts placed in the Stock, which is of coarse Marble or Stone, with a Hollow for one of Silver in the Top. Don. Jac. Blades Merc. Leod. A Spoon of Juniper; and others of a white Wood brought from Prussia and Lithuania (with one in a wooden Case or Sheath), by Mrs. Maddox. An Indian Spoon of very fine Wood tip'd with Silver; a very odd one, with a wrought Handle, brought from Portugal, and given me by Major Richard Milburn. Cheese-Trenchers, both the Square, which turn into the Form of a Book, and a Box. A Box of round ones, painted and gilt, with English Rimes that seem to be 150 Years older than the Cheese, though that be full Three Score. A Norway Cheese of Goat's Milk 5 ½ Inches broad, odd waved in the Vat. Don. J. Turner. Bread from the Coasts of Barbary. The Jews unleavened Cakes for the Passover. Don. D. Burrough Lond.

The Abbot of Kirkstal's Stirrup; it is of Cast Iron, the Sole seven Inches broad; given me by Mr. Pollard of New-Lath near Kirkstal. Spurs: One of Copper gilded, with a remarkable Neck, above six Inches long from the Heel to the Rowel. There is a Danish Spur of the same Length in the Bodleian Repository at Oxford; of which see Mr. Hearn's ingenious Discourse of Antiquities annexed to the first Vol. of Leland's Itinerary, p. 114. A Gingling Spur; it is of Brass, the Neck short, but Rowel very large, three Inches from Point to Point; the Danish Rowel hath six Points, this only five: That of Sir Ferdinando Leghs (of which before) hath twelve. Both these were given me by Mr. Sam. Smith Bell-founder. Another gilt Spur of a different Form from all the rest: A noted Antiquary tells us, that from their gilt Spurs, Knights are stiled Equites Aurati. (Selden's Titles of Honour, p. 437. & p. 474.) Of the Spanish Cavallero's de Espuela d'Orada, or Knights of the Golden Spurs, see the same Author, p. 575. Don. D. Godfr. Haddon. An odd Sort of a jointed Spur, with a six pointed Rowel, but not made to turn round as all the former do; and also those of later Times in-laid with Silver, of which here are two or three Sorts. There is almost as great Variety in the Buckles as in the Rowels, from little more than half an Inch to near three Inches in Breadth.
