Altho both editions were printed in the same 
year, this is pretty certainly the later of the 
two, as shown by the following: ( 1 ) the phrase 
"Nouvellament veuz & corrlgez* might mean that 
the four tracts, which had all been previously 
printed, were revised In this collected form; 
but, as it is not given in Cat. Bib. Nat., it 
probably indicates that this is a new edition; 
(2) the privilege, dated 20. Jan. 1559* on < ver¬ 
so of title, permits Gllles Corrozet of Paris 
to print and sell this work; and it is reasona¬ 
ble to assume that he had already published it 
before transferring his right to L‘Angelier. 
Inasmuch as they have the same collation, it 
is likely that these two editions of same date 
are identical save in details such as spelling* 
Dept. Agr* copy is a photostat from that of 
the N. Y. Society Library, and the latter is one 
of the books in the collection that formerly be¬ 
longed to John Winthrop, Jr. (I 606 -I 676 )
