A printed Volume, intitled "A Booke, containing the true portraiture of the countenances and attires of the Kings of England, from William Conqueror unto our Soveraigne Lady Queene Elizabeth now raigning: together with a briefe report of some of the principall acts of the same kings, especially such as have bene least mentioned in our late writers. Diligently collected by T. T. [i.e. Thomas Timme] London, printed by John de Beauchesve dwelling the Blacke Fryers. 1597. This extremely rare work is embellished with elegant wooden cuts of the portraits of our sovereigns from William I. to Elizabeth, one of which, viz. that of Elizabeth, has been also used in Holland's translation of Livy, and in Puttenham's Arte of English Poesie. The volume has been interleaved by the celebrated antiquary William Lambarde, who has added, in his own band-writing, several extracts from Holinshed's Chronicles, ending with the reign of Edw. II.; but some leaves of these extracts have been torn out.
