In 1611 he became printer\nto the City of London; in 161^ he purchased from his\npartner Roberts the right of printing <■the players' bills ' or\ntheatrical programmes; and in idi8 he issued 'A catologve of\nsuch English Bookes as lately haue bene and now are in Printing\nfor Publication ', which he promised to continue half-yearly.\nThe reputation of his press for typographical accuracy was\nnever high, but he violently denounced any authors who were\nbold enough to complain of its defects.\nThe year 15-99, during which Jaggard produced T/;^ His first\nPassionate Pilgrim^ was long anterior to the prosperous period P\"'''^^^\"^\"^'\nof his life, which opened in i6oy with the control of Roberts'\npress. Before 1J99 he would seem to have published not\nmore than two or three books. The first extant book, on the\ntitle-page of which his name figures, was a sermon preached by\nJohn Dove at St. Paul's Cross, Nov. 3, 1^94, which came out\nbefore the close of that year.

On January 23, 15-97-8, he was\nduly authorized by the Company to publish an embroidery\npattern book, called The true perfection of Cuttrvorkes^ of\nwhich no copy has been met with.\nJaggard was no slave of legal formalities.
