Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Works of John Taylor, the Water Poet: Not Included in the Folio Volume of 1630
Taylor, not comprised in the folio of 1630, the Council deem it necessary to offer a few remarks.
It will be seen that the 4to size has been adopted in continuing the works of this author, being that in which the Tracts were originally published, a very few instances in which the memo form was used being excepted. It was for some time under consideration whether they should not be reprinted in folio, following the plan of the work of 16 30, so as to make a second volume uniform and to match with the first, but it was found, on testing the practicability of this scheme, that it was liable in detail to so many difficulties and that it would so mate rially interfere with the leading principle of the Society of making their reprints, as nearly as possible, facsimiles of the original works, that, after a very careful comparison of the advantages of each plan, that now adopted was determined upon as indisputably the one to be preferred.
The Tracts, it is scarcely necessary to observe, can only be reprinted as obtained, and, being very numerous, will have to be gradually derived from various sources.
