7. By Thomas Marshe; (1560). This edition is said to be “newly
corrected and amended by the author, Fitzherbarde;” but is, of
course, a mere reprint. See remarks upon this above. (Lowndes;
Dibdin, iv. 534.) In Arber’s Transcript of the Stationers’
Registers, i. 128, we find--“Recevyd of _Thomas Marshe_ for his
lycense for pryntinge of a boke Called the boke of husbondry,
graunted the xx of June [1560] ... iiij. _d._” Hence the date,
which is not given, may be inferred.
8. By John Awdeley; 16mo. 1562; “wyth diuers addicions put
ther-vnto.” (Dibdin, iv. 566.)
9. By John Awdeley; 8vo. 1576; “with diuers additions put
therunto.” (Dibdin, iv. 568.)

11. etc. There are numerous other editions. Hazlitt mentions
one by R. Kele (no date), “newlye corrected and amended by the
auctor Fitzherbarde, with dyuers additions put therunto.” Lowndes
says: “London, by Richard Kele, 16mo. There are two editions, one
containing H, the other I, in eights.” Dibdin (iii. 533) mentions
one by John Wayland, 8vo. (no date), Lowndes mentions an edition
printed at London “in the Hovs of Tho. Berthelet,” 16mo.; eighty
leaves; also--another edition, slightly differing in orthography,
and having at the end “Cum privilegio;” also another “in the House
of Thomas Berthelet,” 16mo. A, 6 leaves, B--M, in eights, N, 2
leaves, with the date of 1534 on the title-page; but this can be
nothing else than the very book here reprinted, and it is not clear
why he mentions it again. Lowndes also notices undated editions by
John Walley, Robert Toye, Jugge, and Myddylton.
