LIBRARY OF THE EARL OF KILDARE, ANNO 1526.

AN account of early libraries is always an object of interest to literary men; and we shall therefore endeavour, from time to time, to present our readers with a series of such catalogues as are extant. The following is a list of the books belonging to Gerald Fitz Gerald, ninth Earl of Kildare, ancestor of the present Duke of Leinster. It is copied from the Harleian MS. 3756, which is described as "The Rental of Gerald Fitz Gerald, Earl of Kildare, Ao. 1518, together with a catalogue of his plate, library, horses, and harness given away, and an obituary of the Geraldys. This is a very large volume, of 226 folios of paper, not all written upon, very old and much damaged. On a leaf of parchment, at the beginning and end,

1 Evidently models of bridges.

2 The complete armour, or rather, in this instance, trappings, for a horse, which appear to have been made either of cloth of gold or silk. -Ibid.

is written,' xxvii April, 1640, I receaved this booke from Mr. R. Dowles,' and under the former are the arms of John, Duke of Newcastle, &c. from whom many of the MSS. came." The rental of the Earl, his plate, and the notices of his horses and harness given away, are not sufficiently curious to be extracted, though the number of horses given to people, of all ranks, from the king to the peasant, is extraordinary. The obituary of the family has, however, been transcribed, from its utility for genealogical purposes.

GENEALOGY.

THE Correction of, or addition to, pedigrees of noble or other distinguished families, is a subject to which some attention will be given; and a small portion of each number will accordingly be devoted to that object. In all cases these statements will be supported by evidence: hence, they will, it is hoped, be valuable memoranda to those who interest themselves in genealogical studies.

Few houses equal, in antiquity or rank, the illustrious family of Vere, Earls of Oxford; but, as in others of far less importance, errors of some consequence occur in the histories given of it both by Dugdale and Collins. The former writer informs us, in his Baronage," on the authority of the Pipe Rolls, 2 Ric. I., that Alberic, the third Earl, "paid a fine to the king in the 2nd Ric. I. of D marks, for the sister of Walter de Bolebec, to make a wife for his son; and that Robert, his second son, the third Earl, married Isabel, the daughter of Hugh, and sister and heiress of Walter de Bolebec, Rot. Pip. 9 John; that she survived her husband; and in the 6th Hen. III. paid a fine to the king, and afterwards re-married Henry de Novant, and died on the morrow of the Purification of our Lady, 29 Hen. III. i. e. 1st February, 1245." When treating of the family of Bolebec, he says, that Isabel, daughter and heiress of Walter de Bolebec, was nine years old in 1186; that, in the 9th John, 1207, "Robert de Vere, son of Earl Alberic, afterwards Earl of Oxford, gave the king cc marks and three palfreys, for leave to marry her; and in the same year she gave ccc pounds and three palfreys, that she might not be compelled to marry, and that she might enjoy what was in arrear of her own and her sister's
