TABLE I.—Appendix.

SIR G. DOWNING'S ROUGH MINUTE BOOKS.

At the end of the series of Treasury Minute Books there are two odd volumes numbered Minute Book 624 and 625. These volumes begin on the 28th Sept., 1668, and extend respectively to 1671–2, Jan. 24, and 1671, June 2. It is incorrect to describe them as minute books. They are, rather, rough memoranda books written by Sir George Downing of such portions of the minutes of each day's proceedings of the Treasury Board as concerned warrants to be made out or letters to be written, or enquiries to be made, or papers to be turned up for reference and so on. Where these memoranda books contain the text of a formal Treasury minute, that minute will almost invariably—I think I may venture to say quite invariably—be found in situ in the Treasury Minute Book proper. But on the other hand quite a number of the memoranda of agenda just described (not partaking of the nature of a minute proper) which these two volumes contain are not to be found in the Minute Book. All such memoranda are given in the present appendix. For the months Jan. to March of the year 1669 such agenda memoranda are inserted in table I., supra pp. 176–205. But after trying this method of calendaring the entries for that period it seemed to me more satisfactory to make a special appendix of these entries.
