## Summary

The diffusion of knowledge by means of the Chapbook practically began with the introduction of printing into Scotland. From the days when the _Gude and Godlie Ballates_ of the Wedderburns were put in circulation, down to the middle of last century, the chapman was a travelling publisher of much importance. In crowded mart and on solitary moor he plied his calling: there he sold his broadsides by the ream, here he tempted the reading rustic to a judicious selection from his pack: in both cases he did what he could to spread knowledge and line his pockets.
