[6] I am quoting from an article by Mr. A. Wallis entitled “Relics of Literature,” which appeared in the _Derby Mercury_, Nov. 1869. It contains some useful information about the editions of Fitzherbert’s works. It should be observed that 1538 was the very year of Sir Anthony Fitzherbert’s death, which took place on May 27. [7] In an edition printed by T. Petit in 1541, a copy of which is in the Cambridge University Library, the title is--“The Newe Booke of Justyces of Peas, made by Anthony Fitzherbard Judge, lately tra_n_slated out of Frenche into Englyshe, The yere of our Lord God MDXLI.” [8] Canon Simmons kindly tells me--“I find from the Ordnance Map that Grimbald Bridge is the one over the Nidd below the town, _i.e._ a mile or a mile and a quarter from the town. There are two crossing to the town. The upper one is on the Harrogate Road, a second ‘Low Bridge,’ and then the third, ‘Grimbald bridge’.” [9] It is the family tradition (which should go for something), that the author of the Book of Husbandry was Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, and no other. [10] The date is, therefore, October 12, 1537.--W.W.S. [11] See p. 81.--W.W.S. [12] See p. 93.--W.W.S. [13] This early edition, clearly the _second_, and using Pynson’s woodcut, was kindly pointed out to me by Mr. Bradshaw. It is not noticed in the usual books upon early printing, but a copy of it exists in the Cambridge University Library. The woodcut on the title-page is (as I have just said) the same as that on the title-page of the first edition. [14] Probably printed in 1531, as it professes to be “amended, with dyuerse other thynges added thervnto;” for observe, that after this date, editions follow in quick succession. [15] Mr. Wallis (see p. xiii, note 2) mentions also an undated edition, printed by _James Roberts_ for E. White. [16] The volume also contains a translation of Xenophon’s Treatise of Household (Λόγος οἰκονομικός), written by “Gentian Heruet.” [17] The colophon is the same. The Book on Surveying is dated 1539. The copy in the Cambridge Univ. Library contains the Husbandry (1534); Surveying (1539); and Xenophon (1537); all bound together. [18] Possibly James Roberts; see p. xxiv, note 1. ERRATA. In the first side-note on p. 18, _for_ Beating _read_ Beeting. See _Beate_ in the Glossary, p. 150. P. 120, sect. 169, l. 36. For _a ut_ read _aut_. P. 136. Headline. For _Notes_ (=34.= 1-=43=) read _Notes_ (=34.= 1-43). P. 140, last line. For _Hellebor_ read _Hellybor_. THE BOKE OF HVSBANDRY. ==> The aucthors prologue.
