11087. Pochette, by Railihe, Padua, 1690. Lent by Mr. T. W. Taphouse.
31088. Viol, large tenor, six strings; Italian, 17th century. Lent by Rev. J. W. Galpin.
51089. Violin, English, dated 1578.—Boxwood; carved with woodland scenes. This Violin is said to have been given by Queen Elizabeth to the Earl of Leicester, and the arms of both these personages are engraved in silver on the finger-board. It has been suggested that it is the work of J. Pemberton, a maker of some celebrity in London about the year 1580; but there seems to be no other indication in support of this opinion than the initials "J. P.," which are engraved on the instrument. On the other hand, we have the opinion of an authority that the wood carving is some centuries older than the upper portion of the instrument, and that it dates from about 1330. This Violin may therefore be a reconstruction of an older instrument of the Violin kind. Lent by the Earl and Countess of Warwick.
