Description

Report by Giovanni Michiel, Venetian Ambassador to England.

Note
Quarto. 360pp Mr Rawdon Brown has written the following note on a fly-leaf:- "This report has been translated into English and was printed by Henry Ellis A.D. 1827, in the second series of his Original Letters illustrative of English history Vol. 2, page 217, and following, and of this I became aware for the first time in Venice, on Thursday the 22nd March 1838. Had I read his delightful volumes earlier, I should have spared myself some trouble and anxiety taken a year and half since in translating many of the Reports made by Venetian Ambassadors of England, including the one contained in this MS, tho' Ellis's translation has many omissions, particularly about Monsr. Priuli, and the sentence printed, `My Lady Elizabeth who is falsely considered disqualified, &c.' I cannot find the word `falsely'."
