In 1797 "Hentzner's Travels in England" were edited, together with Sir Robert Naunton's "Fragmenta Regalia," in the volume from which they are here reprinted, with notes by the translator and the editor. Sir Robert Naunton was of an old family with large estates, settled at Alderton, in Suffolk.

Erasmus describes this exhibition with a touch of scorn. "Fragmenta linteorum lacera plerumque macci vestigium servantia.
