> "The only known manuscript of David Melville's _Booke of Roundels (1612)_
> is in Australia ..."

This ms has been republished and it's in my annnotated bibliography.
However, it's basically useless, as I think it was mostly copied from
Ravenscroft. There is an earlier manuscript from 1580 with
many overlapping rounds, and 100% of Melvill's rounds match
Ravenscroft's versions instead of Lant's earlier versions.
