INTRODUCTION
cxlvii
Eight chapters from Herberstein’s “Commentaries” are printed in the Elzevir edition of the work, “Russia sive Moscovia.” Lugd. Bat. 1630, 16mo., p. 79-100.
It only remains for the editor to express his great obligations to his friend William Brenchley Rye, Esq. of the British Museum, both for his obliging contribution of the etching of the grand-prince, which forms the frontispiece of the second volume, and also for most valuable assistance in this introduction, and more especially in the bibliography, which forms so considerable a portion of it.
