Acknowledgements
For the present collection of rogue pamphlets, I have tried to select the most representative in both content and range of style and approach, avoiding where I could (though it was not always possible) works that were heavily derivative. In order to achieve the greatest possible authority, I have used as copy-texts the first editions if they are extant, since it is doubtful that authors were ever involved in the reprinting of such occasional and ephemeral works. For xerox worksheets of these and related quartos I am indebted to the Houghton Library, Harvard; the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, California; and, most of all, to the Bodleian Library, Oxford, where D. H. Merry, Keeper of Printed Books, was as usual constant facilitator and friend.
Although I have modernized these texts to coincide with current spelling practices, I have remained steadfastly faithful to the original vocabulary in most instances, preferring to gloss words at the end of this volume to emending their spellings. Even some spellings which are not difficult for us to translate (as shew for show) and some forms (as doth and teacheth for does and teaches) have likewise been retained. I have kept the random capitalization used by the Elizabethans as well, for this was not only a method by which the printer set his lines to come out even on the right side of the page, but also an author's device to emphasize or elaborate. On the other hand, the Elizabethans were so arbitraryand even incoherenton matters of punctuation, that I have re-punctuated all of these works. In doing so, I have been minimal in my use of commas and semicolons.
With the exception of Rid's Art of Juggling all of the works here have been published at one time or anothersometimes obscurely or privatelyin modernized or semi-modernized editions. The present edition has been read against all those texts (which are listed in the textual commentaries at the rear of this volume) as well as against the Elizabethan and Jacobean quartos. Except for

Judges, for example, who reprinted many of these pamphlets in The Elizabethan Underworld (1930), used intermediary texts of the Percy Society or the Early English Text Society and so suffers from occasional error: thus in Walker he reads
