Synopsis
Excerpt from Popular Music of the Olden Time, Vol. 1: A Collection of Ancient Songs, Ballads, and Dance Tunes, Illustrative of the National Music of England; With Short Introductions to the Different Reigns, and Notices of the Airs From Writers of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
It might be supposed that the registers of the Company of Stationers would furnish a complete list of ballads and ballad-printers, but, having seen all the entries from 1577 to 1799, I should say that not more than one out of every hundred ballads was registered. The names of some of the printers are not to be found in the registers.
It appears from an entry referring to the white book of the Company (which is not now existing), that seven hundred and ninety-six ballads were left in the council-chamber of the Company at the end of the year 1560, to be handed over to the new Wardens, and at the same time but forty-four books.
