"De republica Anglorum: The manner of government or pollicye of ye realme of Englande." By Sir Thomas Smith, 16th century
Frequently printed.
The second book is written by a different hand from that of the others, and Dr. Bliss suggests, in a MS. note, that the copy "bears many marks of being either the original or a corrected copy by the author." The corrections however (which are most frequent in the transcript of the second book) appear to be only the corrections of blunders made by the transcribers, who often read their copy incorrectly.
