Notes: Author supplied by H&L and Wing; H&L, partly quoting Lowndes, has note: 'A spurious edition of the first part of Heylin's 'Two Journeys'. The first edition [1656] was printed surreptitiously and published by William Leake, a book-seller, who says (Ant à Wood) "fathered it in Stationers Hall on one Rich. Bignall" ; NUC describes it as 'An unauthorized edition of Peter Heylyn's 'A full relation of two journies', London, 1656'. Lowndes states that Heylin published the 'Full Relation' 'because, a little before a false copy had crept abroad under the title of 'France painted to the Life', and was published by William Leake.

At end of main text: 'This Book is Entred J. Burroughs. March 11, 1655'; list of books 'Printed or sold by William Leake, at the sign of the Crown in Fleetstreet between the two Temple Gates' on final leaf.
