The Camden Society for the year 1844. [No. XXVIII.] Square 8vo. 23.5 x 18cm. Olive green publishers embossed cloth. Gilt title to spine. xxii, 112, 36pp. Edited, from a Ms. in the Cottonian Library. Text in French with English notes. Slight foxing some pages uncut.
This is the only known London chronicle in the French language, and is on that account distinguished as The French Chronicle. The Editor has very amply illustrated, chiefly from other MSS. in the British Museum, the several subjects noticed in this chronicle; together with the genealogies of the mayors and sheriffs who flourished during the period. In the Appendix is printed (from the Cottonian MS. Caligula A. xviii.) a French poem on the Execution of Sir Thomasde Turberville in 1295, supposed to have been written by the author of the poem on the Siege of Carlaverock, which was edited by Sir Harris Nicolas, 1828.
