A stereotype reprint of Bohn's enlarged edition of Six old English chronicles (1848; See also Bib# 1862732/Fr# 399 in this collection for an earlier edition), including (as genuine) the spurious chronicle of Richard of Cirencester, in Hatcher's translation of 1809, entirely unacknowledged, with no reference to the 1809 edition, and with Thomas Leman's notes cribbed as before. The "translation of Nennius is substantially that of the Rev. W. Gunn pub. in 1819." (Preface). The work attributed to Richard of Cirencester is a forgery by Charles Bertram.
