Note 578 — BOOK V PLAYS AND PLAYWRIGHTS

Reprints of 1559–85 include Heywood’s Weather and Four Ps, printed in England before the establishment of the Stationers’ Register, and Bale’s Three Laws and God’s Promises, printed, probably abroad, in 1538. John Walley, who seems to have printed 1545–86, failed to date his books. I cannot therefore say whether his reprints of the pre-Register Love and Hickscorner, or the prints of Youth and Wealth and Health (if it is his), which he entered in 1557–8, are Elizabethan or not.
