This is a dedicatory page from an early printed book (not a Victorian penny dreadful, but rather an Elizabethan or Jacobean work). The page addresses "the right Honorable" Henry Carey, Baron of Hunsdon, with an elaborate list of his titles and positions. The author explains that he is dedicating a work titled *Albions England* to Carey, noting that the book abridges the notable occurrences of England (distinguished from Scotland and the broader land of Albion/Brutaine) and that the subject is worthy of Carey's patronage despite coming from a less renowned author.
