 garet of Richmond, the king's mother, 

 much damaged, and the painter not known. 

 Mr. Weft has a curious miffal (the painter 

 unknown) which belonged to Margaret 

 queen of Scotland, and was a prefent from 

 her father Henry VII. His name of his 

 own writing is in the firft page. The 

 queen's portrait praying to St. Margaret, 

 .appears twice in the illuminations, and be-

 reprefentations of the twelve months, well 

 painted. 



In this reign died John Rous, the anti-
