Footnotes

1 Written on a blank leaf (f. 191) of Account Book, No. I., between the accounts for the years 8 Henry VI. and 9 Henry VI.—C.T.M. It may be well to contrast this menu with the provision made for James I. when he dined with the Company in 1607. See Mem. xxxii.
2 Another Menu, from Mr. Gardner's collection, purporting to come from a Newcastle paper of 1843, and written on a paper directed to one of the officers of the Lord Mayor's Courts, in these words:—
A Bill of Fare for 124 persons of the Barber Surgeons, Tallow Chandlers, &c., Companies.
