"Ye buke of [the voiage and travails of Sir] John Maundeville."

Hill, M.D., 22 Mar. 1803; stating that en a leaf of paper, pasted on the inside of the old cover, was written, "Thys fayre Boke I have fro the Abbey of Saint Albons in thy yeare of our Lord m.cccclxxxx the sixt daye of Apryll. Willyam Caxton," together with the name of Richard Tottyl, 1579, by whose descendant, the Rev. Hugh Tuthill, the book was given to E. Hill. Small Quarto.
