Third edition of a work first published in 1516. "Fabyan (d. 1513) was the first of the citizen chroniclers of London who conceived the design of expanding his diary into a general history. His work . . . beginning with the arrival of Brutus, gave a general survey of the affairs of England, and in later times of France also. The first six books are brief and reach to the Norman Conquest; the seventh book extends . . . to his own day" (DNB). STC 10661-10662 (Reynes).
