After Thynne's first edition of the _Works_ in 1532 (printed by Thomas Godfray), came his second in 1542 (for John Reynes and Wyllyam Bonham), to which he added 'The Plowman's Tale' _after_ the Parson's Tale, i. e. at the end. Then came a reprint for the booksellers (Wm. Bonham, R. Kele, T. Petit, Robert Toye), about 1550, which put the Plowman's Tale _before_ the Parson's. This was followed by an edition in 1561 for the booksellers (Ihon Kyngston, Henry Bradsha, citizen and grocer of London, &c.), to which, when more than half printed, Stowe contributed some fresh pieces, the spurious _Court of Love_, Lydgate's _Sege of Thebes_, and other poems. Next came Speght's edition of 1598--on which William Thynne comments in his _Animadversions_--which added the spurious 'Dreme,' and 'Flower and Leaf.' This was followed by Speght's second edition, in 1602, in which Francis Thynne helped him, and to which were added Chaucer's 'A. B. C.', and the spurious 'Jack Upland[209].' Jack Upland had been before printed, with Chaucer's name on the title-page, about 1536-40 (London, J. Gough, no date, 8vo.). In an Appendix to the Preface to Tyrwhitt's edition of the Canterbury Tales, there is a similar account of the early editions of Chaucer, to which the reader may refer. He quotes the whole of Caxton's preface to his second edition of the Canterbury Tales, shewing how Caxton reprinted the book because he had meanwhile come upon a more correct MS. than that which he had first followed. If we now briefly consider all the earlier editions, we find that they may be thus tabulated. SEPARATE WORKS. Various editions before 1532; see the list above, on p. 28. COLLECTED WORKS. Pynson's edition of 1526, containing only a portion, as above; _La Belle Dame_ being spurious. Also the following:-- 1. Ed. by Wm. Thynne; London, 1532. Folio. Pr. by Godfray. 2.
