Excerpt from A Handefull of Pleasant Delites
Most unfortunately, so far as/ffe value of the reprint in the Heliconia was concerned, irobinson's Handefnll was taken from a very inaccurate transcript of the original unique copy, and without, as it appears, any collation being made with the printed book as the sheets passed through the press. The reproduction therefore, in thatk elegant but very incorrect publication, may be said to be nearly worthless. Whole lines are omitted; misprints, with some times editorial notes upon them as if they were the actual text, occur in almost every other page; and the punctuation neither represents that of the original work nor of any intelligible system. In some cases the errors are characterized by an ingenuity of perversion, as on page 70 (page 55, post), where sleep to cares is substituted for stinted cares and in the next line, naught is wiles for fraught with 11168.
The unique and precious volume itself, one of the most prized of the poetical book gems of the Elizabethan period, but which is unfortunately deficient of one leaf, passed successively through the hands of Colonel Byng, the Marquis of Blandford, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Jolley, to those of the Rev. Thomas Corser, m.a.; and to his liberality the spenser society owes the privilege of being enabled to give for the first time a faithful repro duction of this most interesting collection of early songs and ballads, certainly not the least important or attractive in the series from Tottel's Mi/oellany to Davisons' Poetical Rapsody.
