Neither the Grenville copy nor that in the General Library at the Museum has the Description of Britain, which is equally absent in a third at present in Mr. Quaritch's possession. But Herbert (edit. of Ames, pp. 306-7) appears to have seen one which possessed it.

The cuts in this edition vary from those in that of 1504. Their insertion was probably quite accidental, and, as in the case of the Holinshed of 1577, they have no special fitness.
