The Union of the two noble and illustrate famelies of Lancastre & Yorke
beeyng long in continual discension for the croune of this noble realme,
with all the actes done in bothe of the tymes of the Princes, both of the
one linage and of the other, beginnyng at the tyme of king Henry the
fowerth, the first aucthor of this devision, and so successively proceadyng
to the reigne of the high and prudent prince king Henry the eight, the
undubitate flower and very heire of both the sayd linages.
Tanner, in his Bibliotheca Britannica, says that the first edition of Hall's
Chronicle was printed by Berthelet in 1542. If this be so, no perfect copy of
the edition has survived. Some fragments, in copies belonging to the Univer-
sity of Cambridge and to the Grenville Collection in the British Museum,
are imagined to be of this first edition.
The first known edition is that of 1548, printed by Grafton from the
author's notes. The text may be accepted as authentic. For as much as
a dead man is the author thereof, says Grafton, 'I thought it my duty to
suffer his work to be his own, & have altered nothing therein. ' Another
edition was printed in 1550, and, in 1809, the book was edited neither exactly
por completely by Sir Henry Ellis. See The Lives of the Kings, Henry VIII,
ed. Whibley, C. , 2 vols. 1904.

the edition has survived. Some fragments, in copies belonging to the Univer-
sity of Cambridge and to the Grenville Collection in the British Museum,
are imagined to be of this first edition.
The first known edition is that of 1548, printed by Grafton from the
author's notes. The text may be accepted as authentic. For as much as
a dead man is the author thereof, says Grafton, 'I thought it my duty to
suffer his work to be his own, & have altered nothing therein. ' Another
edition was printed in 1550, and, in 1809, the book was edited neither exactly
por completely by Sir Henry Ellis. See The Lives of the Kings, Henry VIII,
ed. Whibley, C. , 2 vols. 1904.
