[First ed., and of superlative rarity. The Dictionary of National Biography, referring to the 1590 re-issue of the tract, says that the above, The first ed., though mentioned by Ames, is not known to be extant." The late Mr. W. C. Hazlitt (Handbook, 1867, p. 447), however, refers to a copy in the Malone collection (Bodleian Library, Oxford). Therefore it is probable that this is the only other copy known, and certainly the only available one for the private collector. The Irish Archæological Society reprinted the 1590 ed. in 1841, and in the introduction to that reprint (edited by Dr. Aquilla Smith) the extreme rarity of both eds. is dwelt on, as well as the historical value of the matter in them.]
