Most wills refer only in general terms to books. Where specific works are stated their titles are
still, often, too vague to permit exact identification of the edition. Three Maldon wills with
reasonably specific references to books are those of: (a) John Shipton, gentleman, 1619 (E.R.O.
D/ABW 36/346) naming 21 titles, some of which correspond closely to titles in the Library;
Thomas Chese, town clerk, 1625 (E.R.O. D/ABW 47/252) naming 4 titles of which 3 could be in
the Library now; and (c) Reuben Robinson, gentleman, 1665 (E.R.O. D/ABR 7/75) whose books
included some, “as well printed as manuscript” but unnamed, which he bequeathed to his
“
learned friend Dr Henry Power” of Elland, Yorks, a member of Plume’s college and whose
Experimental Philosophy, 1664, is in the Library (but bears no trace of Robinson having been its
owner in 1664-5).
