London: Anno. Do. 1578. ¶ Richardi. Tottelli. [Richard Tottell] [colophon:] ¶ Imprinted at London in Fleetestreete within Temple Barre at the signe of the Hand and Starre by Rychard Tottyl. the xv. of October. 1578., 1578. 1st Edition . Leather. Very Good. Description: Sm. 8vo (5¾ × 4 in): t-p., 116, [3] leaves. Early calf, embossed medallions to top and bottom covers. · Register: 8º: A-P^8 (E2 signed "E1"). · Condition: Rubbed at edges; no front free end-paper; signature on title obliterated; worm trail in lower shoulder starting at f. 82, just affecting a few letters in a few of the catch phrases in the margin; paper clean and bright. · Comments: The regular printed series of yearbooks petered out in the reign of Henry VIII. However, Robert Brooke included in his Abridgment (printed 1573) many cases from the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary, either from his personal observation or from manuscript reports. To make those reports conveniently available, Bellewe culled these cases from the Abridgment, where they were scattered under many headings, and arranged them by regnal year. Bellewe also included at the end of the collection cases from readings in the Inns of Court, as well as other cases not in print and rules of pleading. There are two variant issues of this first edition; in one (STC 3821), the first word of the title is spelled "ASCVN"; the other (offered here) is "ASCVNS". · References: Beale R479; STC 3821.5; Cowley 72.
