Transcription
Hough has arranged to send a copper trumpet from Ireland. The instrument is ‘suppos’d by the Antiquarians there, to be the Lituus of the Romans’. An illustration of the trumpet is enclosed. John Hough was the President of Magdalen College, Oxford and the Bishop of Worcester. He published several anti-Catholic pamphlets during his career (Julian Lock, Hough, John (16511743), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/13862, accessed 14 June 2011]).
