The volume consulted for this study is that contained in the Princeton University Library (Ex 3776. 3. 314. 11). The title page reads: 'Designs | To | A Series of Ballads, | Written | By William Hayley, Esq. | And founded on | ANECDOTES RELATING TO ANIMALS, | Drawn, Engraved, and Published, | By | William Blake. | With the Ballads annexed, by the Author's Permission. | Chichester: | Printed by J. Seagrave, and sold by him and P. Humphry; and by R. H. Evans, | Pall-Mall, London, for W. Blake, Felpham. | 1802.' The volume has been considered bibliographically by N. J. Barker in "Some Notes on the Bibliography of William Hayley: Part III," Transactions of the Cambridge Bibliographical Society, 3, pt. 4 (1962), 342-347. The book is complex and the findings of Barker are reexamined and extended in William Blake, Book Illustrator, by Roger R. Easson and Robert N. Essick (1972), pp. 31-35, and twelve of the fourteen plates designed and engraved by Blake are reproduced in volume one.
