(Records). An exact Chronological Vindication and Historical Demonstration of our British, Roman, Saxon, Danish, Norman, English Kings, Supreme Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, In, Over all Spiritual, or Religious Affairs, Causes, Persons, as well as Temporal within their Realms of England, Scotland, Ireland and other Dominions. From the Original Planting, Embracing of Christian Religion therein and Reign of Lucius our first Christian King (to the Death of Edward 1st, 1307), by William Prynne Esq. a Bencher and Reader of the Honourable Society of Lincolnes-Inne. London Printed for the Author by Thomas Ratcliff, 1666, 1665, 1668. Fol. 3 vol.

'By the Address to the Reader' at the end of the 1st. vol. it appears that only Seventy copies of that volume escaped the flames of the Fire of London. The 3rd. volume having been better preserved, it was sold separately, with a new English Title Page as the History of King John, King Henry IIId. &c. 1670, as will be seen in my third volume preceding Part I. of the text. It was again sold with a new Latin Title Page of Antiquæ Constitutiones Regni Anglice etc. Londini impensis Authoris 1672. The original Title Page of vol. 3. 1668, is scarcely ever found with this volume. To this copy is subjoined an Index to the History of King John, King Henry IIId. and King Edward 1st. by W. Prynne Esq. 1670. London, printed for T. Payne, at the Mews Gate, 1775. Fol. ten leaves, of which, so few were printed, that I know now of no other copy except one in the possession of Mr. Phelps. The 14 Tables announced by Prynne on the reverse of page 1307 vol. III. have never been seen and probably were never printed. At Stowe the copy of this book has an additional 4th volume of 400 pages of Introduction which I have never heard of in any other copy." MS. note.

"Ce livre précieux étant, depuis l'origine de l'imprimerie, le premier qui porte une date clairement exprimée, jouit, sous ce rapport, d'une grande et juste célébrité; à cet avantage, il jouit un autre mérite, c'est d'offrir, dans son genre, un chef d'œuvre de typographie, soit qu'on le considère comme imprimé avec des caractères mobiles de bois, soit qu'on prétende qu'il est le produit de caractères mobiles de fonte; car, parmi les artistes et les gens de lettres, les sentimens sur la nature des types qu'on y a employés, ont de tout temps été très partagés et ont occasionné de longues discussions, dont le résultat, jusqu'à ce jour n'a servi qu'à laisser le question indécise." Van Praet, Cat. des Livres sur Velin. vol. I. p. 205-7.

The present is the copy, mentioned by him as having formerly belonged to the Count de Weissemburg and is thus described by him.

"5. De M. le comte de Weissemburg. "Il y a apparence que cet exemp., qui a passé depuis quelque temps en Angleterre, n'avoit, dans l'origine, que 143 f. Il ne contient plus que les 136 premiers, non compris le 28 f. qui manque, et il est dans un état deplorable de dégradation, privé de presque toute sa marge, &c."

The volume consists of 138 leaves and not 137 as stated by Van Praet.

The 28th leaf and the last leaf containing the Colophon have been supplied in fac-simile most beautifully executed by Harris, who has likewise cleaned and restored the book in an admirable manner,

Collation. A-I. in eights, K. four, terminating on the following recto A. A. 1. "This appears to be an edition of great rarity, no possessor of a copy being quoted by Ames, Herbert or Dibdin. There is no printer's name, but it has the device constantly used by Whitchurch for whom Herbert says it was printed by Hum. Powel, I. p. 550. Powel quitted England for Ireland about 1550 so that this book was probably printed about 1548-9. Herbert's Ames, II. 749, 50." MS. note.

First Edition. This first edition of the French Psalter is so extremely rare that though Panzer quotes it from Maittaire neither of them appear to have seen it. Le Long is inclined to attribute it to Verard. It is the edition mentioned in the Manuel du Libraire, vol. III. p. 163. This copy was purchased at Thierry's Sale.
