Table of contents. 'Prologue'. Lists of the Wards of London and the
parish churches within and without the city. The whole of vol. ii,
which has fresh pagination, is headed 'The seuenth part'. The
collation given above follows that in Dr Sinker's catalogue, but
there is strong reason to suppose that we should assume that E 6
was blank and that vol. ii began with a single sheet, unsigned, the
first leaf being blank and the second containing the titlepage to
that volume. The first edition appeared anonymously in 1516. In
some copies of the present edition, the third, William Bonham is
given as the printer's name.
