#a.# ‘The History of Robin Hood and the Beggar,’ Aberdeen, Printed by
and for A. Keith: Bodleian Library, Douce, HH 88, pasted between pp
68, 69 of Robin Hood’s Garland, London, C. Dicey. A. Keith of
Aberdeen printed from 1810 to 1835.

in Ritson’s Robin Hood, 1795, I, 97.
#a# is printed by Gutch, Robin Hood, II, 230, with deviations. Of #b#
Ritson says: The corruptions of the press being equally numerous and
minute, some of the most trifling have been corrected without notice.
Despite the corruptions, #b# is, in some readings, preferable to #a#.
Motherwell, Minstrelsy, p. xliii, says that pretty early stall copies
were printed both at Aberdeen and Glasgow.
