GRENVILLE, 6775. This is, probably, the oldest printed
"Mandeville" extant, certainly the oldest dated copy,
except a folio copy printed at Lyons on the 8th day of
February of the same year, and there was also an Italian 4^o
edition previously printed at Milan. As far as is known this
copy is unique, and it is in B. L. double columns, fol. It has,
unfortunately, no name of printer, nor place of publication.
