31 August

Thursday 31.^st. Henry _^^{left town} #### this morn’g. ########^{for Lockinge} where he is

to meet Weyland Powell, & shoot with him. He/may then, probably, go on

to my Aunt’s at Beech House.– At Mus^m. from ½ past 9 till 4. Went

with Mr Horne to see the New Building, _^^{for the King’s Library, at} #### which I am much dis=

appointed. There was introduced to Mr Tyndale, a ####^Family Trustee – as

representative of the Cotton family.– He told me to was with Ld. Spencer,

last week, & his Lordship was good enough to express himself in my

favor. “You have Lord S__’s best wishes”– were Mr T’s words. – I

forgot to say, Mr Petrie returned yesterday, & came to Mus^m. for a

few moments. He criticised Palgrave‘s paper in Quart^ly a good

deal, & pointed out some grievous blunders in it,– such as con-

founding Albinus, abbot of S. Augustine’s, & Albinus or Alcuin of

Tours;—also of supposing Matth. West^r., Florilegus – or whoever he

is, to be earlier than Florence of Worcester,- when this work – “Flores

Historiarum”, was compiled by Roger Wendover in _^^the 13^th Centy!—

Mr P. will see me again during the week.
