ability from 1551 to 1561, printing one hundred volumes and receiving
the appointment of king's printer. Aside from this attractive volume no
vellum copy of his books is known.

From the Wodhull sale, with the Wodhull arms stamped in gold on the
front cover. Mem. within: "Payne's sale. £3 3s. M. Wodhull, Apr. 14^{th}
1792. Collat & complet." On the last blank leaf is entered the date
"Oct. 17^{th} 1808," a record possibly of a later "visitation." Similar
dates, some years later than the date of purchase are found on the end
leaves of other Wodhull books. Leaf 7 × 4-1/2 in.
