Extract

Upon looking into some of the earlier volumes of the Archaeologia, I find that typographical antiquities have occasionally engaged the attention of the Society of Antiquaries. Allow me, through your hands, to transmit an Account of a Tract in the Library of the British Museum, printed by Pynson, of which, as far as I can learn, no other copy is known. It throws light on a transaction at the close of the reign of Henry the Seventh, on which the information of our historians is, to say the least, scanty; and it has been noticed by no collector of the titles of English works printed in the sixteenth century.
