History of France
In 1607, Eld printed and published Edward Grimeston's "A General Inventory of the History of France," the book that provided Chapman source material for his tragedies on then-recent French history (including the Byron plays cited above). Eld followed this with several other large histories by Grimeston, partnering with fellow stationers Adam Islip, M. Flesher, and William Stansby: "A General History of the Netherlands" (A. Islip and G. Eld, 1609), "The General History of Spain" (A. Islip and G. Eld, 1612), "The General History of the Magnificent State of Venice" (G. Eld and W. Stansby, 1612), and "A General History of France" (G. Eld and M. Flesher, 1624).
