| Notes | This account by an unknown author describes the duc d'Anjou's departure from Dover, his passage through Zeeland, his investiture as duc de Brabant and his entry into Antwerp. The title page is beautifully engraved. The copies at BL 716.k.6(5.) and HAB 124.6.Hist.(1) have a single plate only; that at BL 576.m.1.(2.) is also imperfect. The copy at BL C.22.c.12. has coloured plates, as does BL C.46.i.8.(2.) (not as fine). | |||||
