Publisher's Synopsis

The tricks reproduced in the 1532 Visitation are from a series of drawings which came into my possession some years ago I have inserted them, as I feel sure they were taken from some copy of this Visitation. Those in the 1566 Visitation were made by Mr. F. C. Price from the original mss., by the kind permission of the Authorities of the British Museum. I would also offer my grateful thanks to Mr. E. B. Nicholson, Bodley's Librarian, who very willingly allowed Miss E. G. Parker to make me a series of facsimile drawings, from which the blocks for the 1623 and 1665-6 Visitations have been made.
