Notes

[1]

The book was made available through the courtesy of the Warden and Fellows of the Library of Winchester College. Mr. Jack Blakiston, Librarian, was most helpful on my visit to the Library and later in arranging for the photographing by the Bodleian Library at Oxford. He also reexamined the book later for a few more bibliographical details.

[2]

Though the news-ballad, "Good Newes from Virginia," appeared in London in 1623 as "sent from Iames his Towne . . . by a Gentleman in that Country," its doggerel can scarcely be considered poetry. See the facsimile of the broadside in W. H. Robinson, Ltd., Catalogue . . . A Selection of Extremely Rare and Important Books and Manuscripts, London 1948, item 98.

Entered in the Stationers Register 27 April 1621 to Matthew Lownes and William Barrett.

The paper is so discolored that it is difficult to be sure that it is not the original twelfth leaf accidentally detached.
