Excerpt from The Merry Devil of Edmonton

The Merry Devil of Edmonton was entered on the Stationers' books October 22, 1607, for Arthur Johnson. Seventeen years later, on June 21, 1624, there was a transfer of copyright from Johnson to Francis Faulkner. There was in all probability a further transfer, between 1631 and 1655, from Faulkner to William Gilbertson. On Sep. 9, 1653, Humphrey Moseley, the bookseller, re-entered it at Stationers' Hall as by Shakespeare; this entry is of some importance and will be fully considered below. In 1608 the play was published by Johnson: - The Merry Bevili of Edmonton. As it hath beene sundry times Acted by his Maiesties Seruants at the Globe on the banke-side.
