A milloner of the sixteenth, was evidently a different sort of tradesman from the milliner of the nineteenth century, for besides caps, bonnets, and gloves, he then sold knives, sheaths, girdles, jewels, &c.
Mines, the king's at Lantrissen in Glamorganshire, money to be expended on, [69].
That Henry interested himself in mining, is, the Editor presumes, a new fact in his character. From this item we learn that he worked a mine at Lantrissen in Wales, and ordered on one occasion that 23l. 16s. 6d. should be expended on it; and on another he caused 40s. to be given to a miner. "All mines containing gold or silver were styled 'mines royal.' Of the latter the richest in Wales are in Cardiganshire. These were leased by James I. to Sir Hugh Middleton, and the profits enabled him to bring the New River from Ware to London; and by Charles I. to Mr. Bushel, who had been in the service of Sir Walter Raleigh; and from this source of wealth he raised and clothed a regiment for the king. The Cardiganshire mines, or perhaps its richest one, called Cwm Symlog, which yields 100 oz. of silver to the ton of lead, may be alluded to in the text."—M.
