Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Towneley Plays
The Manuscript Volume 111 which these Mysteries have been preserved formed part of the library at Towneley Hall, in Lanca shire, collected by the family of Towneley; a family which, in the two last centuries, produced several remarkable men, through whom it becomes connected with the arts, with literature, and with science. The library was dispersed in two sales by auction, at Evans' Rooms, in Pall Mall, the first in 1814, when there were seven days' sale; the second in 1815, when the sale lasted ten days.
