(The copy in the British Museum is presumably unique.) Sc\eral 

 varying and augmented editions of the " Hundreth good Pointes " 

 were issued between 1561 and 157 1. The first edition of the " Five 

 Hundreth Points " (Tusser's enlargement of the former) came out 

 in 1573- 

 Five hundreth points of good husbandry united to as 



many of good huswiferie . . R. Tottel, London, 1573 . . 



2 parts, small 4to. 



Reissued at least twice (in 1576 and 1577) before the appearance 

 of the final and complete edition in 1580. 

 Five hundred pointes of good Husbandrie . . Henrie 



Denham, London, 1580. Small 4to. 



The parent edition of all which followed, and the last which was 

 published by Tusser himself. 



The reprints were numerous from that time onwards.

of 1580 collated with those of 1573 and 1577 . . with a

 Homish Apothecarye, or homely physick booke . .

 It has been alleged that the name of John Hollybush in this book 



is merely pseudonvmous for Miles Covcrdalc (as it was in the Latin- 



Knglish New Testament of 153H).
