Excerpt from Merrie Conceited Iests, of George Peele Gentleman, Sometimes Student in Oxford: Wherein Is Shewed the Course of His Life, How He Liued; A Man Very Well Knowne in the City of London, and Elsewhere

George Peele was a Native of Devonshire, from whence being sent to Broadgate's Hall, he was (about the year 1573) made a Student of Christ Church College, Oxford; and in 1579, was admitted to the degree of Master of Arts. After this he removed to London, where he became the City Poet, and had the ordering of the Pageants.

"This person" says Wood "was living in his middle age, in the latter part of Q. Elizabeth's reign, but when or where he died I cannot tell, for so it is and always hath been, that most poets die poor and consequently obscurely, and a hard matter it is to trace them to their Graves." He certainly died in or before the year 1598, as "Meres in the second Part of his Palladis Tamia, or Wits Treasury," printed in that year, mentions the Cause. A List of his Poetical Pieces is given in Ritson's Bibliographia Poetrca.

Nash termed him "the chief supporter of pleasance, the Atlas of Poetrie, and primum verborum artifex."

The rarity of his "Merrie Conceited Jests" combined with the great price demanded for it, was the chief Inducement to reprint it in its present Form. The Copy made use of for that purpose had belonged to the Rev. J. Brand, Secretary to the Antiquarian Society; after the Sale of his Library in 1806, it came into the possession of Mr. Stace, and the present Proprietor purchased it in December, 1807.
