Monday 30th. K. Charles Martyrdm. & a holiday at the Musm. Read
Sophocles all the morn~g. Walked to Hone’s & bought two Nos. of his
book. The Index will not be printed till next week. ^Paid Bohn what I owe him. At 4 oC. called
on Mr Palgrave, & met there a Mr Frere, – a great collector of coins.
Mr. P. lent me a copy of Mr Douce‘s MS. of Kyng Horn in French.
###made by Mr D. himself. It is not perfect, for at the 2393d. line
is an hiätus & probably of some extent. I shall compare it with
the fragment in the Musm. Very fortunately the commencement
& end are here, & the author is callednamed Thomas, – but whether the
same with the Rhymer, or the Thomas mentioned by R. de
Brunne, must be a subject of future inquiry. Mr Price, in his
Notes to Warton, thinks not.
