Soon after Shelton's second printing appeared in 1652, Edmund Gayton published his Pleasant Notes upon Don Quixot[sic]. Gayton did not provide a complete translation of the story. Rather, he selected key passages from the Shelton version for commentary focusing on passages which demonstrated Cervantes' comic art.
