Tusser, Thomas (oont,) 
Mavor in the 1812 ed., p.20, and Lowndes, 5: 
2728, say that this was the first complete edi¬ 
tion of Tusser and the last printed in his life¬ 
time. Mavor, who had before him a copy belong¬ 
ing to Heber, said that the colophon stated ths.t 
Denham was ”the assignee of Mlliam Serres.” 
- London, Printed in the now dwelling house of 
Henrie Denham, in Aldersgate street, at the signe of the 
starre, 1585. 104 p. (Brit. Mus.j John Inlands Lib. 
Manchester* Rotharasted; Short-title Cat., 24581) 
"^Jery little differing from the preceding 
edition, as will appear from the variations, 
which are minutely marked in these two standard 
editions. It is probable that Tusser might have 
left, before his death, some corrections on the 
edition of 1580 which were introduced into this. 
After this edition errors seem to have been 
multiplied in every successive impression, till 
the very sense was obscured or lost.” — 1812 ed., 
p.20.
