FOOTNOTES

[1] The Dedication of the first edition is precisely the same, except in the concluding paragraph, which there stands as follows:—

“I confess that I lacked my desire to the accomplishment of some speciall partes: but I trust hereafter that shal be supplied, and I professe (if more touching this worke come unto me) to afforde it, in all dutie. In the meantime I recommend this to your view, my laboures to your consideration, and myself to your service (as I have professed during life) in this or any other.”

[2] “As Rome, the chiefe citie of the world, to glorifie it selfe, drew her originall from the gods, goddesses, and demy gods, by the Trojan progeny, so this famous citie of London for greater glorie, and in emulation of Rome, deriveth itselfe from the very same originall. For, as Jeffreye of Monmoth, the Welche historian, reporteth, Brute descended from the demy god Eneas, the sonne of Venus, daughter of Jupiter, aboute the yeare of the world 2855, the yeare before Christe’s nativitie, 1108, builded a citie neare unto a river now called Thames, and named it Troynovant, or Trenovant.”—1st edition, 1598.

[3] Cair Lundein, in the list of ancient British cities, preserved in Nennius.

[4] “The like whereof the Irishmen, our next neighbours, doe at this day call paces.”—1st edition, p. 4.

[5] Richborough, about one mile and a half from Sandwich, the Rutupium of the Romans, was a place of great importance until destroyed by the Danes in 1010.

[6] On the banks of the river Verlam, opposite to St. Alban’s, which is supposed to have arisen out of its ruin.
