4^o (7½ × 5½). R. 1. Collation: A⁸B²C-3K⁸3L⁶, paged. Higgins’ epistle dated 1586. Address to the reader (by R. Niccols, the editor of this edition). Table of contents. Commendatory verses by Th. Newton. ‘The Authors Induction’. Errata. At the end of Higgins’ portion is added, at sig. O 5, but without any fresh title or heading, the legends by Thomas Blenerhasset originally published in 1578 as ‘The Second Part of the Mirror for Magistrates’. These are signed with the author’s name, and stand as legends 41-49 in the Table. The legends of Guidericus and Alured however have been omitted. The legend of Edricus is also omitted in the Table but appears in the text. Baldwin’s portion begins at sig. S 6 with a separate titlepage ‘The variable Fortunes and vnhappie Falles of such Princes as hath happened since the Conquest’, bearing the same imprint except for the date 1609. For Baldwin’s address is substituted a note to the reader signed with the editor’s initials, R. N. Sackville’s ‘Induction’ is for the first time placed at the beginning instead of immediately before the legend of Buckingham. Four legends (James I, Richard Duke of Gloucester, James IV, and Flodden) are omitted, while at the end is added Drayton’s Legend of Cromwell, which had already appeared separately in 1607 and 1609. The editor also added two parts of his own. The first of these begins at sig. 2O 3 with a separate titlepage, ‘A Winter Nights Vision ... By Richard Niccols, Oxon. Mag. Hall’, with the same imprint, dated 1610. This consists of an ‘Induction’ and ten legends, with a prose address to the reader, and is ornamented with woodcuts. The second begins at sig. 3E 2 with a separate title ‘Englands Eliza: or the victorious and triumphant Reigne of that virgin Empresse of sacred memorie, Elizabeth, Queene of England, France and Ireland’, &c., with woodcut portrait, again bearing the same imprint, dated 1610. This part contains dedicatory verses to Lady Elizabeth Clere, prose address to the reader, induction, and the poem itself. This edition, the only one after 1587, was re-issued with a new titlepage ‘The Falles of Vnfortunate Princes’ in 1619 and again in 1620. BM 814. MONTAIGNE, MICHEL DE.
