A verbatim Reprint, by F. Ouvry, Esq. (1862), of a very rare early edition [of 1608], the Duke of Grafton's copy of which sold for £18, and afterwards at Heber's for £12 12s. It is a collection of amusing Tales in prose, interspersed with Songs, supposed to be told, at the intigation of a 'Cobler of Canterburie', in the Barge between Billingsgate and that city.
