Excerpt from The Visitation of the County of Huntingdon Under the Authority of William Camden: Clarenceux King of ArmsIT has frequently been said that the Camden Society have done nothing for the memory of Camden as a Herald. Camden, in reality, did but little, in that capacity, for himself, all his Visitations, as a King of Arms, were made by deputy.It was in 1575, by the interest of Dr. Gabriel Goodman, Dean of Westminster, that Camden obtained the place of Second Master of Westminster School. In March 1592-3 he became the head-master. His spare hours and his holidays, in the earlier part of his career, were devoted to the production of his Britannia, which first appeared in 1586. The duties of the School engrossed the rest of his time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
