Mavor gives the plan of this edition on p*35; 
I.The editions of 1573, 1580, and 1585, have 
been collated, end the variations marked by the 
letters (a), (b), (c), according to the order of 
their dates* The two lest may be considered as 
the only standard and perfect editions* II.The 
text of 1580, as being incomparably the most 
correct, has been commonly followed, except 
where a better reading, or evident oversights, 
corrected in the edition of 1585, or some subse¬ 
quent one, have warranted a deviation* III* The 
punctuation, which is uniformly vicious*** has 
been reformed* **• V.The orthography*..has been 
reduced in a great measure to the modem stand¬ 
ard*

British poets, from Chaucer to Jonson, with biographical 
sketches* London, Longman, Rees [etc.] 1831* p*143-99)

Paging includes all of Tusser’s poems* 
Lowndes, 4:1900, gives title as "Select 
works of the British poets, from Chaucer to 
Lovelace." Allibone, 2:2184, gives "from Chau¬ 
cer to Jonson, [to Lovelace]*" But the title- 
page in the Lib* Cong* copy reads as given a- 
bove, altho no poems by Jonson are included 
and Lovelace’s poems come last*
