Abstract

Doleful Matters Merrily Set Down

Dessauer, A. Paul J. | August 28, 1929 issue

The article provides information on two books, "A Pepsyan Garland: Black-letter Ballads of the Years 1595-1639," edited by Hyder E. Rollins; and "The Pack of Autolycus, or Strange and Terrible News of Ghosts, Apparitions, Monstrous Births, Showers of Wheat, Judgements of God, and Other Prodigious and Fearful Happenings," edited by Hyder Edward Rollins. These are capital books. Here the reader will discover a faithful account of the poor lady who bore as many children as there are days in the year, 182 boys, 182 girls, and one hermaphrodite, and all at one burden.
