This is the last volume in a seven-volume collection - published in
nine parts between 1864 and 1890 - comprising Venetian and other
northern Italian state papers relating to England. Translator and
editor Rawdon Lubbock Brown (1806-83) lived for many years in
Venice, had unrivalled access to the Venetian archives and
travelled widely to find documents in other Italian libraries and
archives. After his death, the work was completed by George
Cavendish Bentinck (1821-91), who was a trustee of the British
Museum and provides a preface to the documents assembled by his
predecessor. Brown had previously published two volumes of
Sebastian Giustinian's dispatches to Venice from Henry VIII's court
(also reissued in this series). This seventh volume documents
Venetian relations with England during the period 1558-80, the
early part of Elizabeth I's reign. An index and a brief appendix of
miscellaneous documents are also included.

not be a critical insight into the famous novelist's life or her
work but is nevertheless written by a relative who knew her and
draws on sources only available to Jane's wider family. The book
also includes a cancelled chapter of 'Persuasion' and a fragment of
Jane's last work. Annotated by George Cavendish.
