Excerpt from A Relation, or Rather a True Account, of the Island of England: With Sundry Particulars of the Customs of These People, and of the Royal Revenues Under King Henry the Seventh, About the Year 1500
The Relation of England, now printed for the first time, is very probably written by the secretary of Francesco Capello. In point of date, it is the earliest Venetian Relation on record. The next is that of Spain, by Vincenzo Quirini, in 1504. Of Ger many, the earliest is by Cardinal Contarini, in 1525. Of France, that by Andrea Navagero, in 1528. Of Tuscany, that by Marco Foscari, in 1530. Of Rome, that by Antonio Suriano (who, as it will be seen, had been ambassador to England) in 1535. And of Turkey, that by Cardinal Bernardo Navagero, in 1552.
