Note 56c — Chapter III · THE POSSESSIONS OF THE CHURCH, THE CROWN, & THE PEOPLE.
Reading edition
It may be asked, why these prints have not been copied for this work? My answer is, that if these had been inserted others could not have been left out; and as my object was to keep down the price of this edition, so as to bring it within reach of every rate-payer, I was very reluctantly compelled to leave out all pictorial illustration.
