P. 28. Skelton, John.

Lord Spencer’s copy is of course now in the John Rylands Library at Manchester.

1591

P. 31. Tacitus. Add at end:—

On 25 May 1591 a patent was issued to Richard Wright of Oxford and his assigns to print Tacitus’s History in English, during his lifetime (Patent Rolls, 33 Eliz. pt. 17, mentioned in Arber’s Transcript of the Stationers’ Registers II (1875), p. 16). The metal engraving of a Roman Camp reappears in R. Grenewey’s translation of the Annals of Tacitus (Lond. 1598, 1604, 1622).
