Howleglas
Excerpt from Howleglas
The great rarity of the early English translation of Eulenspiegel has induced me to reprint a few copies of it.
But three copies are known to exist, each being of a different impression, and each being more or less imperfect.
The copies do not differ in any material respect; the variations being merely in the spelling, and in the correction of misprints. They are all in small quarto and in black letter.
Two of the copies are in the British Museum. One, which belongs to the Garrick collection, wants sheet D and the upper right-hand corner of M I.
