VII.—On a MS. List of Officers of the London Trained Bands in 1643
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
By permission of tho Council of the Royal United Service Institution I exhibit a small MS. entitled Ensignes, Trayned Bands, and Auxiliaries, 1642. It is bound in white vellum, and at one time had strings or laces for keeping it closed. Both covers have a simple tooled and gilt double line round the edge, and in the centre a curious figure drawn in ink. It represents a sort of satyr with a tail and feet like a dragon. The front of his body is covered by an oval shield bearing the arms of the city of London in red ink. The figure holds in his hands on each side of the shield a cornucopiae, out of which rise the heads of several serpents.
