See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 422. This is a reprint of the Lond. 1633 edition. The preface gives some valuable biographical notes about Carpenter, who died in 1628, and was the editor’s tutor and “neere Affine” at Exeter college. It states with reference to the present book that “had not a kinsman’s (Io. Ca.) friendly hand given it safe conduct over the Surges of the Ocean, in all likelyhood it had perished on the Netherland shores.”

Impr. 197: 1640: (twelves) 16o: pp. [12] + 220 + [44]: p. 11 beg. fuisset. Brutus, 201 quam cogitatione: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) “A” between woodcuts: (5) title, within a line: (7–12) “Lectori ...”, signed “M.H.”: 1–7 “Angliæ descriptio generalis, ex Geographico Opusculo Johan. Büssenmecheri”: 9–61, 62–81, 82–220, the commentarioli: (1–44) “Index rerum et nominum memorabilium.”
This is an anonymous history of Britain from the earliest times. The editor, M(atthew) H(unt), does not mention the fact, that an undated edition was printed at London by Henry Bynneman (who published from 1566 to 1587), with the title “De rebus gestis Britanniæ commentarioli tres. Ad Ornatissimum Virum M. Henricum Broncarem Armigerum E.S.”, from which it has been conjectured that the author’s initials were “E.S.” The first words of the text are “Britannia est Insula natura triquetra.” The name of Clain is given in the British Museum catalogue as the author of an Amberg edition of 1603, and in Thomas Thorpe’s Catalogue of books (1851) p. 51 an edition printed at Hamburg in 1598 is mentioned under the same name, but I can find no account of the author, who probably lived at Amberg. Some have ascribed the book to John Clapham, who published an English History of England till the coming of the Saxons, in 1602 and 1606.
