Entred

C.
Harrison
employed
Richard
Field,
Shakespeare's
fellow towns-

Harrison retained the copyright of the poem for nearly The printers
twenty years, until March i, i<^i|, and published at least four four editions,
editions — in 15-94, 15*98, idoo, 1607. But only the first was
printed by Field. Peter Short printed that of i j 9 8 j Harrison's
son, also named John, printed that of i doo, and Nicholas Okes
that of i<Jo7. AH the printers were men of position in the
trade. Okes was on intimate terms with Field, who had acted
as his surety when he was admitted a freeman of the Stationers'
Company on December 5-, 1(^03, while Thomas Heywood,
the author, in his Jpology for Actors which Okes printed for
him in id 12, addressed him as his « approved good friend',
and commended his care and industry — compliments which
were rare in the intercourse of printer and author.
On March i, i<^i|, Harrison parted with the copyright of Roger jack-
Lucrece and of three other of his publications of a different *°"^ ^"°"'*

class to a stationer of comparatively minor reputation, Roger March i,
Jackson, whose shop over against the Great Conduit in Fleet l^^'J^j "'
Street bore the sign of the White Hart.' The transaction
is thus entered in the Stationers' Company's Registers (iii.
' Roger Jackson, son of Martin Jackson, of Burnholme, Yorkshire, had
been apprenticed to Ralph Newbery, a well-known stationer, on July 5-, 15-91
(Arber, ii. i y^). He had been admitted a freeman of the Stationers* Company
on August 10, 1^99, and acquired his first copyright (Greene's Goost Hunting
Coney Catchers) on September 3, idox (Arber, iii. ri6). His first apprentice,
Richard, son of Thomas Gosson, joined him April 13, 160^.
