AN INVENTORY OF 1627. 45 



This seems more probable in this connection. He also says 

 of " couell " or " covell " " Can this be a variant of cowl or 

 coul, a wooden tub with ears for use with a stick in 

 carrying it ? " Dr. March says the word is used in Cornwall 

 and Devon to denote a sort of basket. The Inventory is 

 well written, though many of the letters are different from 

 our present ones, but I think I have deciphered all the words 

 correctly. 



I will read out a few of the items from the list itself, to 

 show some of the prices.
