_Postscript._--Mr. C. L. Kingsford, in his valuable critical account, _English Historical Literature in the Fifteenth Century_, recently published, argues strongly against the accepted authorship of the _Vita et gesta Henrici Quinti_ (quoted on pp. 15-19). Hearne erroneously attributes it to Thomas Elmham. Mr. Kingsford shows that the date of its composition lies between 1446 and 1449, and that its anonymous author was, in all probability, a foreigner.
