Gilbert also started numbering the poems, with "Mister William" (published 6 February 1869) as No. 60. However, it is not certain which poems Gilbert considered to be Nos. 1–59. Ellis counts backwards, including only those poems with drawings, and finds that the first "Bab Ballad" was "The Story of Gentle Archibald" (Ellis 1970, p. 13). However, Gilbert did not include "Gentle Archibald" in his collected editions, while he "did" include several poems published earlier than that. Nor did Gilbert limit the collected editions to poems with illustrations.
