Kingsford, Charles Lethbridge. Chronicles of London; with introd. and notes. *$3.40. Oxford.
“This scholarly work presents to the reader three of the old London chronicles which are contained in the Cottonian Mss., Julius B. ii., Cleopatra C. iv., and Vitellius A. xvi., and which embrace a period of English history extending from the times of Richard I. to the year 1509. The editor in his introduction traces the evolution of the ‘chronicle’ from the early official record known as the ‘Liber de antiquis legibus’ to the popular works of Holinshed and Stow.”—Ath.
