Extract
This curious Ring [a], set in gold, and of exquisite workmanship, is said by the worthy possessor to have been in his family ever since the time of Henry VIII. whose property he supposes it originally to have been. He usually wore it on his finger, and presented it to Sir James Worsley his yeoman of the wardrobe, and governor of the Isle of Wight. Nor was this a single instance of that monarch's bounty to Sir James, whom he honoured with several valuable grants in the Isle of Wight, where he frequently resorted for the sake of sporting.
