STC (2nd ed.) 13446
A collection of 91 legends in verse.
Originally a continuation of Lydgate's Fall of princes, by William Baldwin and others, published in 1559; a first part covering the earliest period was added later by John Higgins and Thomas Blenerhasset; the present editor, Richard Niccols, adds "A winter nights vision" containing ten additional tragedies, and "Englands Eliza." His dedication to the Earl of Nottingham, prefixed to the latter portion of the work, was suppressed but is here retained.
Three of the parts have special title-pages, namely: The variable fortune and vnhappie falles of such princes as hath happened since the Conquest ..., 1609; A winter nights vision ..., 1610; Englands Eliza ..., 1610.
