These "letters and documents" form part of a small quarto MS. volume of about 90 leaves, containing "copies of letters, petitions, or other documents dating from about 1580 to 1613." Mr. Dobell, to whom their publication is due, considers "that the writer or collector of the documents can have been no other than George Chapman." Six of these letters are reprinted in Prof. Schelling's edition of Eastward Hoe and The Alchemist, 1903.

III. HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS RELATING TO BUSSY D'AMBOIS
1604-20. Historiæ sui temporis, J. A. De Thou. The earliest editions, published in 1604, do not mention Bussy. That of 1609, which carries on the narrative to the year 1584, only mentions (lib. lii, p. 132) his proceedings during the Massacre of St. Bartholomew. It is the edition of 1620, published at Geneva, and embracing events till 1607 that includes (lib. lxviii, p. 330 ff.) the narrative of Bussy's murder, in printed [Appendix A], and (lib. cxiii, p. 558) of Renée D'Ambois's meditated revenge (cf. Introduction, [p. xxxvi]). The most convenient edition of De Thou's History is that published by S. Buckley in 1733.
1615. Les Histoires Tragiques de Nostre Temps, François de Rosset. The story of Bussy's love for the Countess of Montsoreau, and his murder forms the subject of the 17th Histoire, De la mort pitoyable du valeureux Lysis, the most important parts of which are printed in Appendix A.
