Sabine Baring-Gould collection of popular literature, 5

This section of the listing of Sabine Baring-Gould's collection covers two volumes held in the British Library (shelf location: LR 31.b.19). It contains some of the ealiest broadsides he collected, so many of the entries have been taken from the English Short Title Catalogue. The ESTC references have not been given in all instances. It is hoped to rectify this in the future. For later items information has been supplied by Steve Roud and Martin Graebe.
