Présentation de l'éditeur
Short Treatise of the I sle of Man digested into six chapters, written by James Chaloner, was originally printed in folio, by John Streater, in Little Bartholomew s, London, as an Appendix (with a separate title page) to ThV ale Royal of England; or the County Palatine of Chester illustrated: performed by William Smith and William Webb, Gentlemen, and published by Daniel King, in 1656. The work is very scarce, and when perfect, fetches a high price. Begarded as a separate treatise, it is the oldest history of the I sle of Man. Camden, in his Britannia in 1586, had previously given an outline of Manx history, compiled from the Chronicon Manmoe et I nsularum (published in the fourth volume of the Manx Society), and from papers by John Merrick, who was Bishop of Man from 1577 to 1600. Li the Polychronicon of Ralph Higden, 1482, there is a brief notice of the I sland, in Lib. 1, cap. xv.
