More Information:
"Sydenham or Sidenham, 1622-1654. The parliamentary committee for regulating the university sent letters to the members of convocation lauding his abilities, and bearing witness to his service to their cause, and on 8 March 1650-1 he was created M.A. On 22 Nov. 1652 Sydenham was appointed master of St. Mary Magdalen Hospital at Newcastle... He was 'a genteel, comly personage,' with an 'aquiline' nose, and in the pulpit was 'a very Seraph.' "- DNB
Samuel Mearne was the greatest of the English binders of the Restoration period. These bindings were executed for the King, but were permitted to be sold after the death of the King. (see Howard M. Nixon's English Restoration Bookbindings, 1974.)
