	The Peaceable and Prosperous Regiment of Blessed Queene Elisabeth: A Facsimile from Holinshed's Chronicles Edited by Cyndia Susan Clegg Holinshed's Chronicles contains one of the few accounts of Elizabeth's reign written during her lifetime. A contemporary history, it was subjected to censorship by the Privy Council. This facsimile edition, a compilation based on this portion of the Chronicles in copies in the Huntington's collection as well as the British Library and Cambridge University Library, documents the censorship and demonstrates that it occurred in three stages. The Chronicles, a scrupulously produced monument to Elizabeth, is also a rich source for the study of printing practices. The base text chosen by the editors, an unusual copy in the Huntington Library, contains the largest sample of proofmarkings that survive from the sixteenth century. The proofmarkings are examined in light of contemporary printing-house practices and in relation to other copies of the work in libraries around the world. 12 x 16, illus. ISBN: 0-87328-161-6, cloth, $325

	A Visit from Saint Nicholas by Clement C. Moore with an introduction by Sara S. Hodson See our special page on A Visit From St. Nicholas for sample images and text. The Huntington Library's special edition of A Visit from Saint Nicholas is the first to include facsimiles of the poems in Moore's own hand and an early printed version of Visit of St. Nicholas (1869), one of the first American children's books to be illustrated in color.
