Notes: "A series of drawings representing scenes or 'pagents' in the life of the earl ... As to the origin of the manuscript ... there has been a persistent tradition that its author was John Rous ... there is very little to connect it with Rous, and ... while we may hesitate to accept him as the author even of the text, we have no hesitation whatever in pronouncing the drawings not to be his handiwork at all."--Introd.
Facsimiles preceded by guard sheets with descriptive letterpress.
