Title added by Arthur Gray: "Historia Collegii Jesu / Statutes of the Rustat Foundation". Title on the back cover: "Statutorum Coll. Jesu".

The contents are written in a 17th century mixed hand, almost certainly that of Edmund Boldero, in black ink with headings in red. They consist of: Bishop West's statutes; the statute added by the Visitors of 1559-60; Charles I's interpretation of the statute "De Numero Sociorum" ["Of the number of fellows"]; statutes of the Rustat Foundation, 1671, a copy of an Indenture relating to the Foundation's endowments, and the confirmation of the Rustat statutes by Charles II, 1672; and a copy of Sherman's History of the college, out of order in such a way that notes about several members of the Beaumont family, a list of masters to 3 Apr. 1666 and their biographical details, precede the rest of the contents.

An unused page contains various signatures and scribblings of a later date (some apparently 1690s).

At the back of the book are an incomplete copy of "The King's graunt for the foundation of the Free schole at Macclesfeild" [the King being Edward VI], in Latin, in the same 17th century hand [Edmund Boldero], and a 2p. draft of a Latin oration, in a clumsier [juvenile?] hand.

"The St Peter coins in the collection of Sir Simonds d'Ewes", typescript (photocopy), six pages (recto only), certainly datable to after 1967, which is the date of the latest work cited in the notes, and possibly to about 1970.

"The St Peter coinage of York" [by Ian Stewart], typescript, twelve unnumbered pages on twelve folios (recto only), one paragraph per page, undated and unattributed, but datable to about 1981 on the grounds that the opening sentence refers to Sir Charles Oman's dating of the St Peter Coinage fifty years earlier [in his book on the Coinage of England in 1931] and Michael Dolley's contribution to the argument twenty-five years earlier [in his BNJ article on a neglected Yorkshire hoard in 1956]. The paper is attributable to Ian Stewart on the grounds that he was working on the St Peter coinage in 1981 and the typescript is on House of Commons paper. There is one small photograph of a sword-type coin attached.

The sources of silver bullion to the Royal Mint during the reigns of William III and Queen Anne [& George I]", by Peter A. Rayner, photocopy of typescript with manuscript tables, fifteen pages of text plus four pages of tables on nineteen folios (recto only), but datable to about 1973 when a published version of this paper appeared in the London Numismatic Club Newsletter, vol. 5, no. 20 (Autumn 1973), pp. 315-329.
