3 - Another copy was in the possession of Sir Robert Shaftoe 
(of Whitworth, Durham), who married a daughter of Sir 
Thomas Widdrington. No description of this copy has 
transpired, nor is its present possessor known to the lovers of 
Northern antiquities. Drake himself was not able to obtain 
access to this copy. 
I have evidence of other copies having been in existence. 
Some of these were probably copies made from other copies. 
But it will serve no practical purpose to carry these investiga¬ 
tions further. The fact that we have the MS. corrected by 
the author himself renders all other copies comparatively 
unimportant.
