'A RELATION of the State of Polonia and the United Provinces of that Crowne, anno 1598'; including also a summary of Polish history. Anonymous, but the 'author was no doubt George Carew (knt, 1608, d. 1612), who was sent on an embassy to Poland in 1598 (see Dict. Nat. Biogr.), and whose 'relatio' was included by De Thou among the sources for lib. cxxi of his Historiae (ed. 1620, v, p. 803). A fair copy from the original, with a few words omitted, which the scribe could not read. Beg. 'The Poles have the same originall with the Bohemians'; ends, imperfectly, 'The genealogy of thys house, so farr as belonges to thys discourse, is as followeth'.
Paper; ff. 112. Folio. 111/3in. x 71/2 in. Circ. 1600. The first word of each paragraph written in larger characters in black and gold. Not in the old catalogues.
