Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) Four Cornelian Signets, one hath the Head of Augustus with a radiated Crown. Another hath Dea Fortuna, with a Rudder of a Ship, to denote Government, in her Right Hand, and a Cornucopiæ in her Left to signify Plenty. The third is a large one, and hath a winged Victory, with a Palm, with the like Gubernaculum, and Abundantiæ-cornu. The fourth seems to be an Emperor or General in a Martial Habit, with the Paludamentum, &c. Whether all the four came to my Father from Aldbrough, I am not certain
