ALBANS' CHRONICLE. [Colophon :] Here ende the Chroniclis of englōde with the frute of timis, small folio, five leaves in facsimile and twenty-two others deficient, bound in red morocco extra, gilt edges, by Bedford, £300. Sanctus Albanus, s. d. [circa 1484]

No perfect copy of this excessively rare book is known to be in existence. Of the half-dozen recorded copies, all are more or less defective; that in the Grenville library being the only one which has ever been completed even by the aid of facsimiles.

There are few books so rare as those which were printed by the anonymous Schoolmaster of St. Albans, whose impressions were far more limited than those of his contemporary Caxton. He issued only eight volumes, and worked from 1480 to 1486.

The St. Albans' Chronicle contains the Brute Chronicle as current in the Middle Ages, from the story of Geoffrey of Monmouth and others; but the text is far less curtailed than that given by Caxton and his followers in the so-called "Caxton's Chronicle."

It is a curious thing, hitherto unknown, that folios D4 and D5 (in the second series of signatures) were reprinted by the Schoolmaster. They contain an account of the rival papacies of Rome and Avignon, beginning with the following words :

"And here began the xxii strifte in the chirch. And it wos more wors than euer was ony other befor, for it was so sotill that the wisest men that wer and the best conciencied colde not discerne with whom it was best to say and hold."-As the reprinted leaves contain no alteration of the text, as one might expect, it is probable that those leaves were destroyed in

several copies at the very time of issue by order of some scrupulous ecclesiastic, and that the printer was authorized to reproduce them withont change by the wiser Abbot of St. Albans, William of Wallingford. Any one who wishes to compare his copy with another may be informed that the obverse of D 4 ends with This in one edition and with This bone- in the other.

The twenty-two deficient leaves are as follows:- Folios 2-7 of table, a 5-8, b 8 leaves, e 1, in first series of sigs. ; and 38, k1, 2, in second series.

This très-saint Sacrement was a relic preserved in the Church of SS. Michael and Gudule in Brussels.

It was done on the occasion of a Jubilee.

Vol. IV of this important historical work is very scarce, and seldom found with the other three. It contains the general preface, a Monasticon, supplementary matter with Indexes. It is stated by Mr. Warter (Southey's son-in-law) that the stock of the third volume perished in a great fire at Copenhagen in 1794, and that copies of it were in consequence very rare; but his remark probably applied to the fourth, and not the third, volume. 16607 JUUSTEN (Pauli) Chronicon Episcoporum Finlandensium, annotationibus et apparatu monumentorum illustratum, disputationibus proposuit H.
