[346] Chamberlain, 120. A proposal (c. 1589) for the establishment of an 'Accademye for the studye of Antiquitye and Historye' (Anglia, xxxii. 261) contains a suggestion that its library might be housed in St. John's.

[348] The gift to Aubigny is recited in the Treasury warrants of 10 Nov. 1610 and 31 March 1611 for lodging allowances cited below.

[350] S. P. D. Jac. I, xxviii, p. 391. The authority was given by a privy seal.
[351] Cf. ch. xvii.
[352] Cunningham, xxi, from Audit Office Enrolments, ii. 108. The authority is a Treasury warrant to auditors of 10 Nov. 1910.
[353] S. P. D. Jac. I, lxv. 2, contains (i) a letter of 1 July 1611 from Buck to Salisbury's secretary, Dudley Norton, asking for authority to be given by privy seal and not a mere letter to the auditors, and enclosing (ii) a letter to Salisbury, putting his case and pleading that Tilney had £35, 'besides £100 for a better recompense which had not been continued to Buck, (iii) a copy of a Treasury warrant to the auditors for the £30, dated 31 March 1611, and (iv) a draft of the privy seal asked for. Chalmers, 490, printed (ii) and (iii), and Cunningham printed a draft for (ii) from Harl. MS. 6850 in Sh. Soc. Papers, iv. 143. On 19 Dec. 1612 the Treasury sent a warrant to the auditors to allow the £50 (Cunningham, xxii). But Buck's preference for a privy seal was sound, for at a later date Auditor Beale complained that authority for the lodging allowances was wanting (Dramatic Records, 84; Herbert, 129).
