Cum  gratia  et  priuilegio."  This  is  the  whole  title.  The
colophon  is,  "  C!  Sermonis  pomoeridiani  Raphaelis  Hythlodei,
de  legibus  et  institutis  Vtopiensis  insulse  paucis  adhuc  cognitae
per  clarissimum  et  eruditissimum  virum  D.  Thomam  Morum
Ciuem  et  Vicecomitem  Londoniensem  Finis."  On  the  reverse,
the  printer's  device.  Quarto,  containing  m  6  in  fours,  no  head-
line, foliation,  or  catchwords,  35  long  lines,  rom.      xxiii.  7.  1 1

Archbishop  Bancroft's  arms.
Panzer,  VII.  261,  No.  29,  gives  this  book  under  the  year  1516,  referring  to
Von  der  Hardt,  by  whom  it  is  assigned  to  1517.  I  presume  that  each  exercised
his  own  judgment  on  the  date  of  the  letter  of  Petrus  Egidius,  prefixed ;  the  one
resting  satisfied  with  the  "  m.d.xvi,"  and  the  other  calculating  that  if  the
letter  was  rightly  dated  "  Cal.  Nouembris"  of  that  year,  the  book  was  probably
not  printed  until  the  beginning  of  the  next.  It  is  in  this  way  that  imaginary
editions  are  brought  into  existence,  and  endless  confusion  is  produced.  The
book  is,  to  all  bibliographical  intents  and  purposes,  an  undated  one,  and  should
be  treated  as  such.
