This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world’s books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book’s long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

Joax or Anc (5S, viii. 8, 76, 137.)—Having close to my hand Rymer's Federa, I collated the weage extracted into Creasy’s Biter Decisive ites (8vo, edit, 1856, p. 338) with the Fadera,
yo. ar 408,
I that Prof. Creasy has given every word, with the exact spelling, from Rymer, beginnin, “ And alle thing,” ending “in grete nombre, &e.”
the &c., I presume, marks it os a fragment, and that the remainder was of no value. There is a heading to the passage, “Super morté Comitis Sarum, ase Tneantamentis diabolie Fomine,
vam Puellam buacupant, &c,,"and, in the margin,
ymer's reference, “a.p, 1428. An. 7 H. 6. Coton. Bibl. Titus, E. 5.”
The passage from Johan. de Fordun, Scoti- chronicon, is too long for me to extract for your pages It takes four Svo. sides ; but the correct
ference may be useful to. Mr. Bannd, and he may get it copied. It will be found in Hearne's edition, vol. iv. pp. 1224-27, capitulum xxxvi., “De victrice puclla Francie, ot de morte ejus,” T may add that there is no allusion to tho heroine being othorwise than maiden. After stating that the king was crowned at Rheima, and then the wounding of Joan, “Ja Pucel per utraque femors ictu garaldi transfixa est,” there follows :—
“Quo comperto, rex tranaulit se Aurelinnis, ot ipsa traneducte ad Valeis, ubi curnta, translate ert ad Com- pendium, et ibi explorata & capta ab Anglia & Bi nie. transmissa fuit Rothomago, abl Judieio omini Johannis Rogentis, dolio inclusa incinerate cat,” &e.
Caxton’s Polychronicon states that the poor maid strove to avoid her cruel death by saying she was with child. The is in the eighth book, fo. cooxxxy, the ith year of the reign of Henry VI, then seven years old :—
