LONDON'S "TERRITORIALS" IN 1588 AND 1599.

AMONGST the books and papers that at one time belonged to William Lambarde, the historian of Kent, and are now at Sevenoaks, is a manuscript of a friend of his, Richard Robinson, written in 1600, which he calls "A Survey. .. .of the . . . . Soldyers mustered and trayned in London in 1588 and 1599" in 1588, to resist the Spanish invasion; and in 1599, because " the Comming of some enemy was expected onely by God's providence frustrated."

Added to the Survey is what purports to be "a Proper Blazon of Coloures in Armory and Ensignes Military."

After the title-page it commences :

The First Survey taken and made of the Severall and Particular Wardes, Capteynes, Ensignes, a:id Soldyers mustered and trayned in London and the Outelibertyes nere the same, Anno Xpi 1588.
