Few literary prophecies have been so strikingly fulfilled as that of "A neuer writer" who in the preface which follows the revised title of the first edition of Troilus and Cressida (1609) predicted of Shakespeare "when hee is gone and his Commedles out of sale you will scramble for them, and set up a new English Inquisition." It used to be thought much to say of a book that it was worth its weight in gold, but copies of the earliest Shake- speare quartos are worth their weight in banknotes and those notes by no means for the smallest sums. Nor is this money value unreasonable. It is based, as all money values will be found to be in the case of books, on intrinsic interest, the intrinsic interest, in this case, of the plays in them- selves and secondly of these early editions as such. It is enhanced, more- over, as money values must always be, if they are to exceed the ordinary, by an exceptional degree of rarity. We may take the question of rarity first, as the more quickly dealt with. How great it is this Census itself abundantly reveals. Of the earliest quarto with which Shakespeare's name has been connected, the 1594 edition of Titus Andronicus (we may both hope and believe that Shakespeare's share in it, if any, was of the very smallest) only one copy is known. Of the second, the first edition of Richard II, three copies are recorded, two of them in solid public ownership and so presumably beyond any chance of changing hands. Of the third, the first edition of Richard III, there are four copies and a fragment, of which two and the fragment are unpur- chasable. Of the pirated Romeo and Juliet of 1597 only four copies are registered, three of them publicly owned; of the better text of 1599 as many as eleven, of which no fewer than seven are in private hands. In the case of the First Part of Henry IV there is a fragment of four leaves, which may be the scanty remains of an entire edition published early in 1598, and three copies (two in public ownership) of the edition of that year which usually passes as the first. Of Love's Labors Lost reasons have been given in Shakespeare Folios and Quartos* (pp. 70 sq.) for believing that a pirated first edition has entirely perished. Of the good text of 1598, which passes as the first, there are as many as ten copies, no fewer than six being in private hands. The fact that nearly as large a number of copies exist of this quarto as of Burby's edition of Romeo and Juliet reinforces the argu- ment for a pirated edition of the one play as of the other having helped, by taking off the edge of the demand, to save Burby's from being thumbed to pieces. On the other hand it can only be reckoned a coincidence, though a very curious one, that the present ownership of the ten copies of the one play, and of the eleven of the other is with one exception exactly the •Shakespeare Folios and Quartos: a study in the bibliography of Shakespeare's plays, 1594-1685.

[ ix ] INTRODUCTION same.* Three other cases need special mention, the first of these being the Second Part of Henry IV, of which Sheet E in the first edition exists in two states, four copies of the first and four of the second issue being in public ownership, and three of the first and six of the second in private. In the case of Hamlet we have a double complication, an earlier text and a later, and for the later text two states of the title-page. Of the earlier edition only two copies are known (one public, one private) ; of the later text three copies with the title-page dated 1604 (one public, two private), and two (both public) with the last figure of the date altered to a 5. Lastly of Troiliis and Cressida there are two issues of 1609, one with a mention on the title of its having been acted (two copies in public ownership, one in private), the other (five public, two private) withdrawing this statement and adding the preface, from which we have already quoted, which takes credit for the play "not being sullied with the smoaky breath of the multi- tude." Adding the editions which need no comment to those already mentioned we can present the whole series of First Editions in a list, variant issues being counted together, but editions with different texts kept apart.* First Editions.

Logically, either the fragment or the 3 copies of the 1598 edition should be excluded. 1 The Elizabethan Club owns a copy of Romeo and Juliet and none of Love's Labors Lost. Trinity College, Cambridge, owns a copy of Love's Labors Lost and none of Romeo and Juliet. The other owners are the Bodleian Library, the Earl of Ellesmere (each copy having been catalogued by the Second Earl of Bridgewater in 1649), the British Museum, Edinburgh University (each copy presented by William Drummond of Hawthornden), Mr. Folger (two copies of Love's Labors Lost and three of Romeo and Juliet), Mr. Huntington (two of each) and Mr. W. A. White. [x] INTRODUCTION Thus of these eighteen editions which, as we shall see, have great, if varying, importance for the construction of a text, the average number of copies extant is just eight apiece, and less than half of these are in private hands, though probably enough remain unregistered to bring the two classes to an equality and make the average number of copies still extant nine instead of eight. The hypothetical pirated First Edition of Love's Labors Lost, if it ever existed, has left no trace behind except a possible allusion on the title-page of Burby's edition. The First Edition of Henry IF, Part I, is represented by a fragment of four leaves, Titus Andronictis by one copy, the first Hamlet by two, Richard H by three, the first Romeo and Juliet by four, Richard HI by four and a bit, the Merry Wives and second Hamlet by five, Henry V by six. There is no seven, nor nine, nor twelve, nor four- teen, nor sixteen; otherwise from zero to seventeen all the numbers are filled. Is there any basis for a guess, or guesses, why so many more copies of some plays should have been preserved than of others? Mr. Falconer Madan, in commenting on the story of the original Bodleian copy of the First Folio, which disappeared from the library in the Seven- teenth Century (it was probably sold as a duplicate when the third edition appeared in 1663) and was bought back in 1906 for £3000, found evi- dence of the degrees of popularity of different plays in the comparative amount of wear and tear shown by the leaves on which they were printed. We may safely invert the deduction and connect the disappearance of copies with the popularity of the plays, or (which is not quite the same thing) their vogue with the play-reading public at the moment of issue. It is noteworthy that the four quartos which everyone admits to have been pirated, the first Romeo and Juliet, Henry V , the Merry Wives and the first Hamlet, only muster seventeen copies between them, or just half the average of the First Quartos as a whole. We are not to attribute this fewness of copies to any high minded objection of book buyers to piracy, leading them to purchase copies in order to burn them, or even to burn them after they had been read, as scrupulous people might burn foreign editions of copyright novels which they had brought home to finish. We should rather remember that the pirate ex hypothesi always got out his edition at least a little before the time when the players would have printed the play of their own accord. If he could not effect his piracy when the vogue of a play was at its height, he must needs come in as soon as possible after this, or he would have had no temptation to take the risk of getting himself into trouble. What concerns us is that the nearer to the psycho- logical moment his edition appeared the more likely would it be to be thumbed to pieces. Turning to the quartos which we believe to have been printed with the players' consent we find that Richard H, Richard III and Henry IV, Part I, represented respectively by three, four and three copies of the first edition, went through five or six editions apiece before 1623, whereas Henry IV, Part II, of which nineteen copies survive, was never reprinted in quarto. It is disconcerting to find that, on the theory this suggests, so fine a play as [xi ] INTRODUCTION the Merchant of Venice, of the Heyes edition of which seventeen copies sur- vive, comes next to Henry IV, Part II, at the wrong end of the hst. We are forbidden, however, to regard the survival of so many copies as accidental by the fact that the play was not reprinted until 1619. In the same way in the case of Much Ado about Nothing, of which fifteen copies are extant, we may take the absence of any quarto reprint as confirming the suggested deduction that the First Quarto was not very successful. Possibly the fact that all these three plays were published in the same year (1600) had something to do with their apparently very moderate degree of success; but the Midsummer Night's Dream, though it also was first printed in 1600, by which time it must have been quite an old play, was much more severely bethumbed, only eight copies surviving. While the fact of a play being permanently popular, or the vogue of the moment, seems to have been the main cause of copies of the first edition disappearing, something must be allowed for contributory causes. A time certainly came when editions without Shakespeare's name on their titles would stand less chance of preservation than those which bore it. Again, it is only natural that Titus Andronicus, which was first published nineteen -2.^ years before the First FoHo, should have been more hardly used than ^ Othello, which came out when the First Folio was already being printed. After all, moreover, "habent sua fata libelli," and into the mysteries of fate we must not pry too closely. There is one explanation of the variation in the number of the copies surviving in the case of different plays which may be decisively rejected; that, namely, which would have us believe that fewer copies of any given play have come down to us because fewer were printed. It would be more reasonable to argue inversely and find in the scantiness of the remnant an indication that the edition which has left so few survivors was probably a large one. The bibliographers' maxim that the number of copies extant Is likely to vary Inversely with the number printed is indeed only a generali- zation from the points about popularity already noted. Large editions, low prices, popularity and careless handling all go together, and where we find one, In the case of works which have in them the possibility of success, we may look out for the others. Our information about the cost of paper and print at the end of the Sixteenth Century is not sufficiently pre- cise to justify any positive statement, but it Is probable that even if only quite a small sum, say forty shillings, were spent on obtaining the text of a play, either by bribery or purchase, unless something like a thousand copies could be sold at the customary price of sixpence apiece, the temptation to a pub- lisher to print a full-length play of Shakespeare's would have been very slight. It Is more likely, Indeed, that the full maximum of 1200 copies, to which the Stationers' Company, in the interest of compositors and good workmanship, restricted an edition, was the number printed, and even if 1200 copies were sold the publisher's profit was probably well under ten pounds. From the sale of an edition of only five hundred copies he would have done little more than clear his expenses. We pass from these money matters to the intrinsic value of the texts of [ xii ] INTRODUCTION the First Quartos, which has seldom or never been frankly admitted, even by editors who have seen the necessity of relying on them rather than on that of the First Folio as the basis of their own. If a document has once been interpreted in a particular sense and that interpretation has survived unchallenged sufficiently long for men to be educated in it, it is no small task to win acceptance for any other view. From an imperfect knowledge of the facts the reference to "stolne and surreptitious copies" in the preface to the First Folio* was taken to refer to all the quarto editions of Shake- speare's plays, though such an interpretation can only be maintained on the supposition that the publishers of the Folio were bent on damaging their own credit and property, and that Shakespeare and his fellow sharers in the Globe were more conspicuously helpless in defending their rights than any other set of Englishmen since the world began. The address "To the great Variety of Readers" in the First Folio gives no hint as to the number of the "stolne" copies to which it refers. It merely says that whereas, or wherever ("where" may have either meaning) readers had been abused by pirated editions with bad texts, even in these plays they would now find tlie texts sound and perfect. As the reference is to "copies" in the plural, it must relate to at least two plays, but if only two plays could be found in which the Folio editors had replaced the text of the First Quarto by a conspicuously better one, only two plays could on any reason- able interpretation be brought under the accusation of piracy. Two such plays exist in Henry V and the Merry Wives of Windsor, for neither of which was any good text in quarto ever printed. In the case of Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, possibly also in that of Love's Labors Lost, an original bad text in quarto was replaced by a better one in the same form. In other plays there are divergences between the Folio and the Quartos which may be susceptible of different interpretations, but which did not prevent Malone from declaring roundly, in the Introduction to his Shakespeare of 1790, as regards the text of the plays, that "the editors of the folio, to save labour, or from some other motive, printed the greater part of them from the very copies which [according to the stereotyped interpretation accepted, alas, even by Malone himself] they represented as maimed and imperfect." Common sense would suggest that if a passage is susceptible of two inter- pretations, in one of which it is accurate and helpful, and in the other inaccurate and confusing, and raises difficulties of many kinds, the accurate and helpful should he preferred. But in the present case this interpretation does not seem even to have occurred to any of the bold gentlemen who have undertaken to expound so difficult a text as that of Shakespeare and yet, from an idle indulgence in the humour which delights to make out that everything is as bad as possible, have thus mischievously misrendered a simple passage in the "Address to the Readers." Malone knew from his collations what use the Folio editors had made of the Quartos, but the •"We pray you do not envie his Friends, the office of their care, and paine, to have collected & puhlish'd them; and so to have publish'd thera, as where (before) you vfere abus'd with diverse stolne and surreptitious copies, maimed and deformed by the frauds and stealthes of iniurious impostors, that expos'd them: even those are now offer'd to your view cur'd, and perfect of their limbes; and all the rest absolute in their numbers as he conceived them," &c. [ xiii ] INTRODUCTION old blunder was by his time part of the Eighteenth Century Shakespearian creed. Thus he could not get away from it, but says sweepingly of the Quartos, in the very sentence in which he is confessing their merits, "un- doubtedly they were all surreptitious, that is stolen from the playhouse, and printed without the consent of the author or the proprietors." Can Malone, or anyone else who has upheld this extraordinary theory, ever have thought out what it involved? If all the plays of Shakespeare published before 1623 were "stolen from the playhouse and printed without the consent of the author or the proprietors," are we to suppose that his works were the sole objects of attack, or were the couple of dozen other plays acted by his company which found their way into print while he was still in London, i.e., between 1594 and 1608, also pirated? And if all or most of the quartos of plays acted by Shakespeare's company were pirated, what about the rest, produced at other theatres? If the theory in its full implications is to be maintained there must, in some years, have been a piracy once a fortnight. If It be said that In the case of Shakespeare's plays we have a positive statement, which does not apply to the others, about which we may therefore adopt a hopeful agnosticism, we must recur to our point that the positive statement as to Shakespeare's plays need apply to no more than two of them. But let us accept the position, absurd as it is, that only the plays performed by Shakespeare's company, and among these only those in which he himself had a hand were singled out for attack. This would still oblige us to believe that in the thirteen years 1597 to 1609 there were some fourteen successive piracies. Now to pirate a single play of some two thousand five hundred or three thousand lines would be no easy matter, unless, indeed, as Mr. Fleay once suggested in the case of Romeo and Juliet* a prompter were kind enough to "throw aside" a superfluous copy, where it could be picked up by a dishonest servant. Piracy from the wastepaper basket, piracy by stenography, piracy by the treachery of a "hired man," — we can Imagine all these feats to have been performed once; but unless the players were pleased to have their plays stolen, surely some steps must have been taken to prevent the recurrence of these thefts, and the steps cannot have been so ineffective as to allow nearly all Shake- speare's early plays and several of his later ones to be appropriated. Many of these quarto editions appeared some years after the first production of the play. Was it impossible to keep both the prompt-copy and the actors' parts securely locked up, even when a play was not being performed? In 1597 and again in 1600 several plays by Shakespeare were published one after the other. Were these outbursts of piracy the result of a burglary at the theatre? The topical character of Elizabethan plays is often empha- sized, even over-emphasized; is it not remarkable that we hear little or * "Q2 'Si according to this theory, a revised version made on a complete copy of an early version of the play, vphile Qi is printed from the prompter's copy of the same early version. When the revision took place this copy would be thrown aside as worthless; and any dishonest employi of the theatre could sell it to an equally dishonest publisher, who would publish it as the play now acted." (A Chronicle History of the Life and Work of William Shakespeare. By F. G. Fleay, 1886, p. 193.) If piracies were frequent, is carelessness of the kind here supposed easily conceivable? [ xiv ] o INTRODUCTION nothing about thefts of this kind in play, prologue orpreface of Shake- speare's day (contemporary complaints of piracy are mainly concerned with poems or essays passed round in manuscript by men of fashion) , and have to seek it in the muchiater prefaces of Heywood.* Surely if piracy were thus frequent some honest apprentice must have brought down his cudgel on a cheating stenographer's hand, and himself not have passed unsung. In opposition to the theory that Shakespeare (that excellent man of busi- ness, as we have been taught to consider him) and his fellows submitted to being defrauded of their property fourteen successive times within thirteen years, it has elsewhere been contended, and will be contended as often as a hearing can be obtained, that while the pirates were able not only to get out editions of Henry V and the Merry Wives, but to convey copyright in them to their confederates, and had the profits of single editions of Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, and possibly also of Love's Labors Lost, the players after each of these attacks, as also after that on Pericles in 1609, can be seen protecting other plays by staying notices, sometimes openly of that character, more often in the form of entries on the Stationers' Register, which while seeming to pave the way for publication were really meant to delay it. Here and now as much has been said as to this fight with the Pirates as there is space for. We must pass on from this negative and defensive support of the Quartos to claim for them positive qualities not easily compatible with piracy, and which give to them a much higher character than they have hitherto been allowed. In the passage already cited from Malone's Introduction to his Shake- speare of 1790 that great critic wrote, with a truth only marred by his acceptance of the current application of the words "stolne and surrep- titious": "Fifteen of Shakespeare's plays were printed in quarto antecedent to the first complete collection of his works, which was published by his fellow comedians in 1623. . . . The players when they mention these copies represent them all as mutilated and imperfect; but this was merely thrown out to give an additional value to their own edition and Is not strictly true of any but two of the whole number; The Merry Wives of Windsor and King Henry V. With respect to the other thirteen copies, though undoubtedly they were all surreptitious, that Is, stolen from the playhouse, and printed without the consent of the author or the proprietors, they in general are preferable to the exhibition of the same plays in the Folio; for this plain reason, because, instead of printing these plays from a manuscript, the editors of the folio, to save labour or from some other motive, printed the greater part of them from the very copies which they represented as maimed and imperfect, and frequently from a late instead of the earliest edition; In some Instances with additions and altera- tions of their own. Thus, therefore, the first folio, as far as respects the plays above enumerated, labours under the disadvantage of being at least •The passages in question occur in the preface to the 1630 edition of The Rape of Lucrece and in "a prologue to the Play of Queene Elisabeth as it was last revived at the Cock-Pit" printed in He)rwood's Pleasant Dialogues and Drammas, 1637. [xv] INTRODUCTION a second, and in some cases a third, edition of these quartos. I do not, however, mean to say that many valuable corrections of passages un- doubtedly corrupt in the quartos are not found in the folio copy; or that a single line of these plays should be printed by a careful editor without a minute examination and collation of both copies, but those copies were in general the basis on which the folio editors built, and are entitled to our particular attention and examination as first editions." It is a thousand pities that Malone should not only have misunderstood the attack on previous editions in the First Folio to "represent them all as mutilated and imperfect," but while having the courage to deny that any but two of the Quartos* were "mutilated and imperfect" should have abstained from denying that any but these specified exceptions were "stolne and surreptitious." As a vindication, however, of the text of the First Quartos nothing could be better. As he says, these editions must be reckoned in general as good texts, and the main argument on this topic advanced in Shakespeare Folios and Quartos in 1909 was that since the good texts, with easily explainable exceptions, were regularly entered on the Stationers' Register, and the bad texts were either not entered at all or entered irregularly, by the logical method of Agreement and Difference we are entitled to assume a causal connection between good texts and regular entries and between bad texts and irregular entries or no entries at all. This causal connection we find in the fact that an honest publisher who printed a play with the Players' consent would naturally get as good a text as they could give him and have no reason to avoid taking it to Stationers' Hall, whereas a dishonest publisher would naturally get hold of an obsolete or vamped up text and would fear to take it to be registered lest the Wardens of the Stationers Company should "stay" it till he was able to produce authority for printing it. In the introduction to the fac- simile of the unique third quarto of Richard II, recently identified in the library of Mr. W. A. White of New York, this argument has been carried further and it has been shown by an analysis of the readings of the suc- cessive editions that while nothing in the text forbids us to believe that the First Quarto (1597) was set up from Shakespeare's autograph there is at least some slight ground for believing that this was really its origin. The two negative arguments for this contention are: (a) that the number of readings in the First Quarto rejected as erroneous by the editors of the Cambridge text (our nearest approach to a texttis receptns of Shakespeare) being far fewer than the number of new errors introduced by the same printers in reprinting the play the next year for a second edition, the proved carelessness of the printers suffices to account for the errors of the First Quarto and it is thus superfluous, and therefore illegitimate, to assume that before it reached the printer the text had already been corrupted by being copied by scriveners; (b) that no evidence can be found either in the later Quartos or in the First Folio that the original manuscript had been used for the correction of the play as a whole, but that the good readings in •The Hamlet of 1603 had not been discovered when Malone wrote. As regards the bad quarto of Romeo and Juliet printed in 1597, he made the necessary exception in another passage. [ XVI ] INTRODUCTION the Folio are best explained as reaching it in the form of casual corrections on a prompt-copy. The positive arguments advanced on the same side are : (a) that some of the errors of the First Quarto suggest that it was set up not from a clean- copy such as a scrivener would have made, but from a manuscript which, though generally clear, presented some difficulties, so that now and again the master-printer was driven to read it out to the compositor; (b) that the punctuation of the set speeches is a dramatic punctuation with peculiarities which, despite much carelessness, incline us to believe that it was derived from the author himself; (c) that this is true also of the method of using Emphasis Capitals. The punctuation, it is shown, is generally much lighter and the use of emphasis capitals more moderate than in the First Folio, and this fits in prettily with Shakespeare's views as set forth in Hamlet's exhortation to the players: "Speak the speech I pray you as I pronounc'd it to you, trippingly on the tongue, but if you mouth it as many of our Players do, I had as lieve the town-cryer spoke my lines." When we consider the question with reference to other plays we find that it can be readily proved that the source of the text of most of the good quartos was a prompt-copy and that such scanty evidence as survives shows that it was not unusual for a prompt-copy to be made by the prompter writing his notes on the author's autograph manuscript. There is thus a high probability that at least some of the good Shakespeare quartos were set up from his autograph, a printed copy subsequently taking the place at the theatre of the manuscript thus destroyed and, after it had received casual correction and alterations, becoming In turn the ultimate source of the "corrected" Folio text. If this theory wins accept- ance It Is hoped that "probably printed from Shakespeare's autograph" may prove an adequate counter-cry to the "probably stolen and surrep- titious" of so many prefaces, and the estimation of the First Quartos be correspondingly enhanced. But If we advance no further than Malone's position their Importance remains very great. Malone believed that all the Quartos were in some unexplained manner "stolen from the playhouse," but that the texts thus clandestinely obtained, so far from being maimed and Imperfect, were the best versions we possess of what Shakespeare wrote. This is the essential point, and to anyone who admits It, the value of these First Quartos may well seem inestimable. When we pass from the First Quartos to the reprints of them the most ardent collector must be sensible of a notable fall In temperature. In this Census all quarto editions are included down to the publication of Rowe's Shakespeare In 1709, the first edition to which an editor put his name. All of them are of interest for the evidence which they offer of the popularity of Shakespeare in the Seventeenth Century as compared with the other playwrights of his day, and of the popularity of some of his plays as compared with others. Textually in themselves not one of them has any direct Importance, with the apparent rather than real exception of the Richard II of 1608 In which 166 lines of the "Parliament Scene" appeared for the first time, but in a form so mutilated (almost certainly [ xvii ] INTRODUCTION put together by stenographers) that they have only the very smallest value. There is no evidence in the case of any of these later quartos point- ing to the original manuscript having been collated afresh in order to improve the text, or of access having been had for this purpose to any new one. The theory that all the quartos were stolen and surreptitious has had this one good effect, that it has prevented editors from formally main- taining that recourse was had to any such authoritative source, old or new, when the later quartos were printed. Unfortunately it has not prevented them from adopting some of the readings of these later quartos into their own texts. Of course if these readings had been clearly marked off as "early conjectures" the editors adopting them would have been well within their rights. A printer's reader of Shakespeare's day was at least as likely to make a good guess at a missing word as Rowe, Theobald or Hanmer. But these emendations from the early reprints have been treated as "variants," invested with an authority of their own by the dates at which they appeared. A reprint, however, even if it appeared within a few months of the First Edition, derives its authority exclusively from that and cannot be set up against its source. Textually, therefore, the later quartos in and by themselves are negligible and should be neglected, the extent to which they have influenced the text of Shakespeare being dis- tinctly matter for regret. Indirectly on the other hand they are of importance as the source of a vast number of readings in the First Folio which could never have been rightly appraised if the intermediate quartos had disappeared. Each time the text of a play was reprinted new errors were introduced and the majority of these errors were carried over from one quarto to the next. At the threshold of the First Folio, which usually followed the latest quarto, many of them were stopped, but many others got through, and in some cases there is clear proof that the new reading of the Folio is a mere botching of an error which first appears in an inter- mediate Quarto. By the help of the quartos all these errors can be eliminated from the Folio text, and the modern editor has nothing to con- sider save the original readings of the First Quarto and the original read- ings, right or wrong, introduced by the Folio. This genealogical value of the intermediate quartos, though subsidiary in character, is very great. As a basis for further discussion we may now present the results of this Census as it affects the quartos which appeared between the First Editions in this form and the First Folio in the following table.

The lowest figures in our new list are one for the single copy of the newly dif- ferentiated third quarto (the second of 1598) of Richard II, two apiece for Titus Andronicus (1600), Henry IV, Part I (1604) and Henry V (1602), three for Richard HI (1602) and four for Richard HI (1605). As to the rarity of Titus Andronicus we may recall the fact that of the original edition of 1594 only one copy survives without attempting any further explanation. The other five editions are all of popular chronicle plays and the figures are not in themselves very surprising. It may be just worth noting, however, as the dates lie so close together, that in 1599 Sir •Perhaps after 1623. t No. 557 assumed to be of this edition. j No. 358 assumed to be of this edition. [ xix ] INTRODUCTION John Hayward was imprisoned for his prose history of Henry IV, which he had too effusively dedicated to the Earl of Essex, and that in 1602 an "old play" of Richard II (opinions differ as to whether it was Shake- speare's) was acted before the Essex conspirators. It is just possible that between 1598 and 1605 these happenings and the accession of a new dynasty may have created a special interest in historical plays, especially in those connected with changes of the crown, and thus account for these five editions being exceptionally hardly used. At the opposite end of our list we have thirty copies extant of the Henry V of "1608," twenty-eight apiece of the Merry Wives of 1619 and King Lear of "1608," twenty-five of the Midsummer Night's Dream of "1600" and twenty-three of the Merchant of Venice of "1600," a total of 134 copies (or 132 if the two doubtful copies, Nos. 358 and 557, which have been reckoned with the majority, are excluded) giving an average of nearly twenty-seven copies of each edition. The corresponding figures for the First Editions are six, five, nine, eight and (for the Merchant of Venice) seventeen, a total of forty-five for the five plays, or an average of nine copies extant apiece, just a third as many as in the case of the reprints. In Chapter IV of Shakespeare Folios and Quartos ( 1909) an elaborate argument was submitted to prove that these five plays, despite their varying dates, had all been printed and published in one volume (copies may also have been sold separately) in the same year, 1619, together with four others, viz., the Whole Contention between the two famous houses, Lan- caster and York (n. d.), Pericles (1619), A Yorkshire Tragedy (1619) and Sir John Oldcastle (1600), and the fact that they had been thus pre- served in exceptional numbers was an important link in the chain of evidence.* The only volume now known in which all the nine plays are still found together is that in the library of Mr. Marsden Perry of Provi- dence, R. I., bearing the stamp of the Seventeenth Century collector EDWARD GWYNN. But a similar volume belonging to Mr. Hussey was only broken up in 1906 and others must have belonged to Capell, Garrick and other early collectors. The arguments put forward in Shakespeare Folios and Quartos to prove that all the nine plays were printed in 1619 were numerous and elaborate. They started with Mr. W. W. Greg's demonstrations from the water- marks, devices and large numerals on the title-pages, and followed up with others based on the short imprints on the titles, on the types, on the spell- ing, on the number of copies extant, on an entry as to the Merchant of Venice in the Stationers' Register in 16 19, and on the hitherto unexplained continuity of the signatures of the undated Whole Contention and Pericles of 1619. The chapter was well received by reviewers, but Mr. Alfred Huth preferred an earlier theory of the same writer's, which accepted the dates on the title-pages as truthful and supposed that new and * The number of copies of the five plays at that time known to Mr. G. W. Cole, the Cataloguer of the Church collection, who had made a special study of the question, was 105, or an average of 21 apiece. [ XX ] INTRODUCTION old copies had been bound up for sale in 1619 by way of clearing off "remainders," and the arguments which he advanced in the Library for January, 19 10, though they were not left unanswered, were quite impres- sive. In October, however, of the same year, Mr. William J. Neidig, an instructor in English in the University of Wisconsin, in articles in Modern Philology and the Century Magazine, by a composite photograph in which the Merchant of Venice of "1600" was superimposed on the Pericles of "1619" proved that the words "Written by W. Shakespeare," the "Heb Ddieu heb Ddim" device and the word "Printed" came in exactly the same positions in each title-page, and pointed out also identical flaws of one kind in the W of "Written" and of another kind in the W of Shake- speare's initial in each case. It was thus made certain that portions of the title-page of Pericles had been used over again in the title-page of the Merchant of Venice, without having been shifted in the form, and the impossibility of the two editions being separated by nineteen years was demonstrated in a manner appreciable even by readers with no biblio- graphical training. In this Census the falsity of the dates 1600 on the Merchant of Venice and Midsummer Night's Dream and 1608 on King Lear and Henry V has thus been regarded as definitely proved, the correct date, 1619, being added in each case in brackets. It is obvious that editions printed for inclusion in a stout quarto volume are in a much better position for resisting wear and tear than those issued separately in paper wrappers. These five editions thus stand in a class by themselves. If we deduct them and the number of copies of them still extant from the totals of these Intermediate Quartos given above, we get 169 extant copies to be divided among twenty-one editions, or the same average of eight apiece as in the case of the First Quartos. These 169 copies, it is interesting to note, are divided between public and private col- lections, giving totals of a little over eighty and an average of four to each. We now give our final table of editions. [ xxi ] INTRODUCTION Later Editions, 1624-1709. Public Ownership. Private Ownership. Totals.

The distribution as between public and private libraries would probably have been still nearer equality if public librarians had earlier become aware of the three variant editions of the Hamlets of 1676, 1695 and 1703 and the four undated editions of Julius Caesar. In this case, however, that they left more copies to fall into private hands is no great matter. It is the business of large libraries to lighten the task of the bibliographers of great writers by enabling as many editions as possible to be confronted and compared under the same roof. But when bibliog- raphy has done its work, the final cause of the editions is often achieved and they become of little importance. These later Shakespeare quartos have no shred of authority for the formation of Shakespeare's text, though many of those published before 1660 have been laboriously collated for variants. They do not, like our intermediate class, the editions other than the first printed before 1623, enable us to eliminate errors from the Folios, [ xxii ] INTRODUCTION as these have their distinct line of descent and owe nothing to the late quartos. Their only, yet quite dignified, justification for existing is the testimony they bear to the extent of Shakespeare's popularity with the class of bookbuyers who preferred "books of the play" to complete editions. From this point of view it would be pleasing if more of them, or (as would serve as well) indisputable traces of more of them, even though lost, could be discovered. The unsold copies of the 1637 edition of the Merchant of Venice were reissued with a new title-page in 1652; an edi- tion of Henry IV, Part I, was printed as late as 1700; otherwise, not only all the comedies which had never had large sales as separate quartos, but all the histories, which had been so popular right up to 1623, were in the eyes of the owners of the copyright no longer worth producing separately after 1639. What may be called Shakespeare's permanent, as distinct from his contemporary, popularity begins with the revival of his tragedies in the last quarter of the Seventeenth Century. In the long interval there had been some haphazard editions, an Othello in 1630 and another in 1655 and a Hamlet in 1637. Macbeth was separately printed for the first and only time in the Seventeenth Century in 1673. But between 1676 and 1705 there were seven editions of Hamlet, six of Julius Caesar and four of Othello, and this betokens a notable, if limited, revival. Other plays, as we know, were more or less popular, in more or less irreverent adaptations. Meanwhile the four large Folio editions were being absorbed, one after the other, by the literary readers of Shakespeare, and here and there we find anticipations of the respectful treatment of the quartos which in our own day has ripened till they occupy an inner shrine in the book-collector's temple. In 1627 William Drummond presented copies of the 1598 Love's Labors Lost, 1599 Romeo and Juliet and some other plays to Edin- burgh University. In 1649 the Second Earl of Bridgewater entered in the catalogue of his library copies of these same three editions and of the Richard H (second edition) and Richard HI of 1598, Henry IV, Part I, of 1599, and Henry IV, Part II, Merchant of Venice, Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado about Nothing of 1600, a very pretty little nosegay to have been originally acquired for a crown, but which it is pleasing to find not thought unworthy of cataloguing on that account. Why, a little later on, Pepys did not add to the delight of his library by doing his best to collect a complete set of the quartos is hard to guess. A later benefactor made good the loss to Cambridge, but a picked set of Shakespeare quartos in Pepys' bindings would have been a very pleasant addition to the good things of the world. Probably If Pepys had started on the quest of our quartos he would not have acquired more than a haphazard selection of them, for when books are still purchasable for pence there is little temptation to owners to ransack their libraries or lumber rooms to see if they have any to sell. It is only fair to the Eighteenth Century editors to remember that the Quartos have only come somewhat slowly and capriciously to light. When Pope was completing his edition of Shakespeare he very properly added [ xxiii ] INTRODUCTION at the end of the last volume a "Table of the several editions of Shake- spear's [sic] Plays made use of and compared in this Impression." They comprise Hamlet, 1605, 161 1. Henry IV, Part I, 1599, 1604, 1608. Henry IV, Part II, 1600. Henry V, 1600, "1608" [1619]. King Lear, "1608" [1619]. Love's Labors Lost, 1598. Merchant of Venice, 1600, 1600 [1619]. Merry Wives, 1619. Midsummer Night's Dream, "1600" [1619] Othello, 1622.* Richard II, 1598, 1608, 1615. Richard III, 1598, 1602, 1612. Romeo and Juliet, 1597, 1599. Titus Andronicus, 161 1. Troilus and Cressida, 1609 (both issues). The list is quite a good one; nevertheless it omits the first version of Hamlet and the first editions of Henry IV, Part I, King Lear, Merry Wives of Windsor, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado about Nothing, Richard H, Richard HI and Titus Andronicus, i.e., Pope had the right editions of less than half the quartos. It is at least possible that if all the good quartos had been available for editorial use from the outset, we should have heard less about their being "stolne and surreptitious." Theobald and Capell both printed lists similar to that of Pope's, and these enable us to follow the gradual discovery of the quartos. Of first editions Theobald added to those known to Pope the Merry Wives of Windsor, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado and Richard HI, while Capell supplied those of Henry IV, Part I, King Lear and Richard II. After this there were no more finds of First Editions until 1823 when the first version of Hamlet (1603) was discovered by Sir H. E. Bunbury in a volume of old plays. Of Titus Andronicus a copy of the first edition was written of by Langbaine in a way that made Malone think he had it before him, but if so it disappeared without having been seen by any editor, and it was not until 1905 that a copy was discovered in Sweden which is now, apparently, reposing in one of Mr. Folger's inaccessible boxes. Even of the second edition, that of 1600, no copy had been heard of until, in 1800, one that had been peacefully reposing in the Bridgewater Library for a century and a half was brought to light. At what dates the various other intermediate and the later editions were first localized and registered it would be tedious to ascertain and hardly less tedious to recite. But that the possibilities of discovery are not yet exhausted is made credible by the recent identification as a new edition of a 1598 Richard II in the • Apparently, as Malone notes, with the title mutilated, as Pope speaks of it as issued soon after Shakespeare's death, instead of by its date. [ xxiv ] INTRODUCTION library of Mr. W. A. White of New York, which with sportsmanlike promptitude he has caused to be reproduced in facsimile. Early editors of Shakespeare expected their book-collecting friends to lend them their quartos, but Pope possessed some of his own and these according to Malone (see his note quoted under No. 573) were sold in David Mallet's sale on 10 March, 1766. The printed catalogue offers no corroboration of this statement, but in the auctioneer's copy, preserved in the British Museum, at the end of a section of "Plays in quarto" there is a manuscript entry: "Shakespeare. 2 vol. 3.3.0." No doubt these were Pope's copies, and the two volumes, according to the practice of Eighteenth Century binders, may have contained a dozen or more pieces. The three guineas realized must be considered a fair price, since other volumes of early plays fetched only a few shilling apiece, though the 1575 edition of Gammer Gurton's Needle, with the help of a separate entry and Italics, had a few minutes before been worked up to as much as 7s. 6d. Lewis Theobald, Pope's critic and successor in editing Shakespeare, must have had a good many of the later quartos among the 195 old plays* which he left behind him, as there were at least three with his collations in the Dodd sale of 1 797-1 798, one of which, the 1637 Hamlet, is now In the Dyce Collection with a quaint reference to Theobald by a subsequent owner. His copy of the Merchant of Venice of "1600" [1619], more- over, was No. 1279 In the Steevens sale. But the plays not being "set out" in the catalogue of his sale In October, 1744, what others he owned cannot here be stated. As for Warburton it was he who put Pope's quartos into Mallet's sale In 1766, so probably these were all he possessed. Thus Edward Capell seems to have been the first editor-collector of Shakespeare quartos on a large scale, and certainly made a very diligent use of them. In his edition of "Mr. William Shakespeare his Comedies, Histories and Tragedies, set out by himself in quarto, or by the Players his Fellows in folio, and now faithfully republish'd from those editions" he speaks of having been at work on it for over twenty years. He may have begun collecting at a still earlier date, perhaps in 1737, when he was appointed deputy inspector of plays. In June, 1779, nineteen months before his death, he handed over his Shakespeare collection to Trinity College, Cam- bridge. As recorded In Mr. Greg's catalogue of this, the quarto editions of the plays number just fifty, of which as many as fourteen, according to our classification, rank as first editions, making up a complete set save for the Hamlet of 1603, the 1597 and 1599 editions of Romeo and Juliet, the Titus Andronicus of 1594 and the later variant of the Henry IV, Part II, and earlier of Troilus. It must be said also that the collection is not only the fourth in order of importance, but one of the pleasantest to handle, the plays being bound together In convenient volumes In Eighteenth Century brown calf and in size averaging about seven and one fourth by five and one eighth inches. The nine plays of the volume of 16 19 all appear in this collection, divided between two volumes, but with the uniform size, * Not 295, as stated in the article "Theobald" in the Dictionary of National Biography. A copy of Theobald's Catalogue is in the Bodleian Library. [ XXV ] INTRODUCTION seven and one half by five and five eighths, and standing together as Q 1 1 and Q 12. The credit of being the first to collect plays and present them to an important library does not belong to Capell, and though he only missed it by a few months, it is probable that he was an imitator rather than an initiator. The Capell collection was accepted by the Masters and Seniors of Trinity College on 1 1 June, 1779. On the twentieth of the preceding January David Garrick had died, bequeathing, by a will made 24 September, 1778, all his "collection of old English plays to the Trustees of the British Museum for the time being for the use of the public." Garrick and Capell were old friends and though they were estranged towards the end of their lives, it seems likely that Capell's presentation was inspired by Garrick's bequest. The Shakespearian por- tion of this is markedly inferior to Capell's, comprising a total of thirty quartos as against fifty, and only five first editions as against fourteen. Moreover, save for the plays of the volume of 1619, which measure over seven and one half by five and three quarter inches, the copies as a rule are not as good as Capell's either as to size or as to condition. None the less the collection was a very valuable one, or rather a very valuable part of a bequest to the total importance of which only Charles Lamb, who made such fine use of it, could do full justice. Perhaps we may anticipate a little and having described the nucleus of the British Museum collection of Shakespeare quartos complete our account of its formation. The first addition to Garrick's bequest was that of twenty-two quartos, comprising six first editions, which formed part of the library of King George III and came to the Museum in virtue of an arrangement between his successor and the British Government. These also were for the most part rather poor copies, the King's librarian having apparently considered it much more important to secure spotless copies of books printed in the Fifteenth Century than of the first editions of Shake- speare. Up to this time, indeed, and beyond it, the great libraries and most of the great collectors thought it beneath their dignity to concern themselves with anything of Shakespeare except the Folios, neither Mr. Cracherode nor Mr. Grenville ever buying a play of his in quarto, though the latter admitted some of his poems. It may even be doubted whether, except more or less accidentally, any of the quartos entered any great library by purchase until Antonio Panizzi bought the Jolley copy of the Richard II of 1608 (first issue) in 1845. H's successor, Mr. John Winter Jones bettered this instruction by spending a thousand pounds in November, 1858, to such good advantage that leave has been obtained to quote the invoice in full. Here it is: [ xxvi ] INTRODUCTION The Trustees of the British Museum Drs. to J. O. Halliwell, Esq. 1. The first edition of Hamlet, 1603. 2. The famous victories, 1617. _ 3.

After this there seemed but little chance, as prices continued to rise, that the Museum set would ever be made more complete, but in 19 10 Mr. Alfred Huth's bequest added the three important editions which were lacking, the Richard II and Richard III of ii;97 and Merry Wives of 1602 (all Daniel copies). By the addi- tion of these the Museum has now, with the exception of the doubtfully Shakespearian Titus Andronicus, the text of all the plays issued in quarto in the first editions, though it lacks the variant title-pages of the Hamlet of 1604 and the Richard II of 1608, if the inclusion for the first time of the Deposition scene justifies the reckoning of this last among first editions. Returning to the Eighteenth Century we find ourselves still mainly con- cerned with the professed students of Shakespeare and his dramatic ex- ponents, though other collectors begin to appear. Few of the sales are interesting to us, as most of the entries of Shakespeare quartos are either of plays from the volume of 16 19, or late editions published after the First Folio. Thus the Rev. Thomas Crofts (sale in 1783) had six of the plays of the volume, a Titus Andronicus of 161 1 and Richard II of 1615. Major Thomas Pearson (sale in 1788) had a Richard III of 161 2, un- •The second issue, with the preface, which Halliwell mistook for the first. [ xxvii ] INTRODUCTION dated Hamlet, Merry Wives of 1619 and five later quartos. James William Dodd, of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane (sale in 1 797-1 798) had all the plays of the volume except Henry V , and about a dozen late quartos (some with Theobald's collations), but also Henry IV, Part II, of 1600, the Heyes Merchant of Venice of 1600, Romeo and Juliet of 1599, Titus Andronicus of 161 1, Richard H of 1615, Richard HI of 1621 and Henry IV of 1622. Dr. Farmer (sale in 1798) had all the plays of the volume entered in an order which suggests that it may have been intact while in his possession and only broken up for the sale, also a dozen late quartos, a collection hardly worthy of his reputation; Samuel Ireland (sale in 1801) had six or seven plays of the volume (some of the descriptions are imperfect) and a few later quartos (one of them Theo- bald's) ; Samuel Tyssen (sale in 1801) had the first edition of Henry IV, Part II, Richard HI of 1602, Richard II and Henry IV of 1608, and all the plays of the volume except Lear and the Yorkshire Tragedy. Richer than any of these, though again hardly equal in this category to its reputa- tion, was the famous Roxburghe sale in 1812 at which were sold at least five first editions (good text of Romeo and Juliet, 1599; Much Ado about Nothing, Merchant of Venice and Henry IV, Part II, all of 1600, and Troilus, 1609) also Richard II of 1598 and 161 5, Henry IV of 1599, 1608 and 1613, Richard HI of 1612, Titus Andronicus of 161 1, Romeo and Juliet, 1609 and Hamlet of 161 1 and n. d., also a probably complete set of the plays of the volume and a few later quartos.

Every owner of a "Steevens" copy, however, has naturally identified it with the copy sold at auction in i8oo, and as it has often been impossible to decide between rival claims of this kind, all the information available is given here. We may now pass on to the Malone collection, one of the finest brought together, and ennobled by its presentation to the Bodleian Library at Oxford, but cruelly marred like the Kemble-Devonshire collection, formed about the same time, by the outrageous mishandling of the copies, all of which have been trimmed close round the text and then inlaid in large paper. The object of this cruel treatment was apparently to enable every edition to be collated with every other edition. But not very much in this way has been done in either set, while to the booklover all the charm [ xxix ] INTRODUCTION of the old volumes has been destroyed. On i January, 1801, however, the author of all this havoc surveyed his collection in a very complacent mood. He first wrote out "A List of the various Quarto editions of Shakespeare's Plays, hitherto discovered," adding a star to those of which he had copies and asserting roundly "the later editions of these quartos are of no value whatsoever," a verdict which he repeated successively with special reference to the 1631 Love's Labors Lost; 1630 Merry Wives; 1637 and 1652 Merchant of Venice and 1655 Othello. The Hamlet of 1603 was as yet undiscovered, also the Othello of 1630, while Malone seems to lump together the Titus Andronicus of 1594 and 1600, but leaves both of these out of his reckoning on the ground that the play is not by Shake- speare. He then proceeds complacently: "This collection of Shakespeare's Plays and Poems in seven Quarto volumes (with which several pieces on which he constructed dramas, bound up among my Shakesperiana, must be considered as connected) forms perhaps the most complete Assemblage of the early editions of his productions that has ever been made. It wants only the Hamlet of 1604, Kin^ Richard H, 1597, King Henry IV, Part I, 1598, and Venus and Adonis, 4to, 1593, to make it complete, and of those three plays it contains very early copies, carefully collated with those original editions, and of the fourth piece (the Venus and Adonis of 1593) no copy was ever seen by any of the collectors of these precious rarities, or is now known to exist, though I have no doubt that at some future time it will be discovered. "Having now finished my collection, and amassed as many ancient edi- tions of this great author's pieces as I shall probably* ever be able to procure, which I have bound up in such a manner that they shall be forever preserved, I have been led to compare it with other similar assemblages." He then proceeds to compare it with the editions mentioned by Pope (this in a note), and with "i. Mr. Capell's, now preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge; 2. the late Mr. Steeven's, now dispersed; 3. that formed by the late Mr. Garrick, preserved in the Museum; 4. the collection of Mr. Kemble of Drury Lane theatre, and 5. that of the late Mr. Jennings of Gopsal in Leicestershire, now the property of Lord Curzon." From the standpoint here adopted he could claim no more than an equality with the Capell collection which, while it also lacked the Hamlet of 1604 (and 1603), possessed the 1597 Richard H and 1598 Henry IV as against his 1597 Richard HI and 1599 Romeo and Juliet. Over the other collections his superiority was marked. That of Steevens contained nothing which Malone had not, and lacked three genuine plays which he had; the Garrick as against its inclusion of Henry IV lacked six other plays; the Kemble as against the 1604 Hamlet and 1597 Richard II lacked four genuine plays, and the Jennings as against the 1604 Hamlet wanted as many as nine others which Malone possessed. • "Probably" is interlineated. The Fetius and Adonis of 1593 Malone himself acquired in 1805. The following further additions have been made to the collection: Henry IV, 1608, 1622; Merchant of Venice, 1637; Richard II, 1634; Richard III, 1598, 1622, 1629, 1634; Romeo and Juliet, 1609 and n. d. [ XXX ] INTRODUCTION Edmund Malone on his death in 1812 bequeathed all his collection, manuscript and printed, to his brother, Lord Sunderlin, with unfettered discretion as to the disposal of it. Ten years later it was presented by Lord Sunderlin to the Bodleian, of which it is one of the many glories. In 1 82 1, almost contemporaneously with the Malone collection being transferred to Oxford, John Philip Kemble, the famous actor, sold for £2000 to the Duke of Devonshire a great collection of plays, including an important set of Shakespeare quartos, which he had brought together in imitation of Garrick and cropped and mounted in imitation of Malone. It was this collection, which with some added quartos, including the better of the two known copies of the 1603 Hamlet, was sold by the present Duke to Mr. Henry E. Huntington in 1914, thereby raising the latter's col- lection to the very front rank where only that of the British Museum can challenge, and that doubtfully, its claim to pre-eminence. After the transference of the Malone and Kemble collections the next important event for us was the second Heber sale in June, 1834, which included fourteen First Editions, but lacked both the Hamlets of 1603 and 1604, Richard H of 1597 and both issues of 1608, Henry IV of 1598, Titus of 1594 and one issue of Troilus. In Part 4 of the Sale, held at Evans's in December of the same year, duplicates were sold of the Mid- summer Night's Dream, Merchant of Venice, Henry H', Part II (4 leaves) and Lear, while there were altogether over a score of second and later editions ranging in date between 1598 and 1655, besides a good set of the spurious and doubtful plays. Altogether Heber's collection of Shake- speriana must be reckoned as fine a one as had yet been got together, and it is interesting to note that £41 .9.6 for the Richard HI of 1597 was the highest price paid for any of the plays. Compared to Heber's the Shakesperiana in the Jolley sale of 1844 were unimportant and we may pass on to 5 May, 1847, to look over the shoulder of George Daniel at his house at Canonbury with a newly acquired copy of the 1597 Richard II before him into which he proceeds to write the following note, surely the prettiest piece of humour in the annals of bibliography: "King Richard 2: Valentine Simmes for Andrew Wise. 1597, of most excessive rarity. In no collection of which I am aware not even in that of Mr. Heber." Dr. Dibdin, who is so often incorrect touching the first quartos of Shakespeare; (he gave to Sir Francis Freeling the 4to King Lear printed by Nathaniel Butter and are to be sold at his shop in St. Paul's &c., viz. the first, when the worthy Baronet had only a very indifferent copy of the second: and to Mr. Heber the first edition of Romeo and Juliet instead of the second:* to say nothing of his assertion that the second edition of Venus and Adonis bears the date 1596 instead of 1594; and of his calling * According to his sale catalogue Heber had both, though the 1597 edition lacked the title and Tras otherwise undesirable. [ xxxi ] INTRODUCTION the edition of 1602 the 3d instead of the 4th &c &c) Dr. Dib- din is in the above statement perfectly right . . . This edition of Richard 2d is unique. George Daniel: 1847. Canonbury. Surely no barrister can have first vilified a witness and then accepted his evidence with such delightful unexpectedness, and the jest is the prettier because the unhappy Dibdin was not "perfectly right" in his statement that this Richard II was unique, as copies existed, and exist, in two such well-known and accessible collections as the Capell at Trinity College, Cambridge, and the Malone at the Bodleian.* This beginning of Daniel's note has been quoted for the mere joy of it. What follows is more to our purpose, for this is a list of eleven "first edi- tions" (including Pericles), headed by four of the very rarest, those of Richard II, Richard III, Love's Labors Lost and the Merry JVives, which in turn are followed by the Midsummer Night's Dream, Henry V , Much Ado, Merchant of Venice, Troilus, and Othello, and among Second Editions by the 1599 Romeo and Juliet which textually must count among the Firsts. With these are other early editions of plays and poems, first editions of the spurious plays, "the finest and most genuine copy known" (no vain boast) of the First Folio, and "sound, large and most beautiful copies" of its three successors. Finally comes the statement: "The above Volumes quite perfect and in fine, very many in most beautiful and all but uncut condition are in my possession," with the signature "George Daniel, Canonbury, May 5, 1847," and then we may imagine that Mr. Daniel put down his pen and felt very happy indeed. At his sale In 1864 the four quartos to which he had given the pride of place fetched from 325 to 335 guineas apiece, prices which long remained records. The Love's Labors Lost was carried off by the British Museum, the other three became the property of Mr. Henry Huth, and by the liberality of his son also found their way to the Museum in 191 1, thereby giving to its collection a degree of completeness which had seemed past hoping for, and enabling its officials to rejoice, without any pang, at the prospect that one day some great American library may be equally fortunate. The passage of a full half of the extant Shakespeare Quartos across the Atlantic which was beginning very quietly about this time is the only chapter In our story which still remains to be told. In 1869 Alexander Dyce bequeathed to the South Kensington (now the Victoria and Albert) Museum, as part of his valuable library, a little collection of quartos, mostly late, but including three or four first editions. In 1872 Halliwell- Phllllps made an addition of some Importance to the quartos presented by Drummond to Edinburgh University In 1627. The gatherings of other English collectors since George Daniel have all, or nearly all been harvested *A doubt seems to have crossed Daniel's mind for later on he added in a smaller hand the qualification "but (I believe) for a copy in ye library of ye Earl of Ellesraere," which did not make matters any better. [ xxxii ] INTRODUCTION in the United States, and it is with the story of the American collections that they may best be fitted in. The honor of being the first American collector* of Shakesperiana belongs to Thomas Pennant Barton, who was born in Philadelphia In 1803 and began collecting about the time of the Heber sale in 1834, and con- tinued adding to his stores until a year or two before his death in 1869. Fortunately his library, by the liberality of his widow, was sold, at a price much below its market value, to the City of Boston, and remains intact in the Boston Public Library, an excellent monument to his skill, the usefulness of which is much increased by an unusually good catalogue. Barton was a scholar and a student, and when he could not afford originals he supplied their places with the best reprints he could procure. But his originals included First Editions of the Merchant of Venice, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado about Nothing and Othello (mostly Heber copies), a dozen of the second and later editions issued before the First Folio (including the earlier Richard II of 1598 and a set of the 1619 plays) and a considerable number of the later Seventeenth Century editions to which he seems to have paid special attention. While Mr. Barton spread his purchases over many years, Mr. Lenox acquired all his Shakespeare Quartos by a single transaction of which we may quote the account given by the seller, Mr. Henry Stevens of Vermont in his "Recollections" of his celebrated customer: A large part of 1855-1856 Mr. Lenox spent in Europe and picked up rare books wherever he met with them. . . . He had set his heart on "the four folios," and by changing and chopping about, besides having secured the famous Baker copy, he had secured nearly all the variations known, Including all the varia- tions of the third folio of 1663. But I could never induce him to Invest In the Shakespeare quartos until December, 1855. I then offered him while he was still In Paris in one lump about forty of the quartos, all in good condition and some of them very fine, for £500, or Including a fair set of the four folios, for £600. This offer upset his previous resolutions, and he bought the whole, ^'^hus becoming at one step, the possessor of perhaps the finestN , \ Shakespearian collection then in private hands. ^ ^'fc / An exact list of the quartos will enable an expert to judge of the prices compared with what such a collection would bring now. They were. Merry JVives, 2nd and 3rd editions, 1619 and 1630; Midsummer Night, 2nd, Roberts, 1600; Loves Labor's Lost, 2nd, 1631; Merchant of Venice, ist, 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions, 1600, 1600 Roberts, 1637, 1652; Taming of the Shrew, ist edi- tion, 1631 ; Richard II, 4th and 5th editions, 16 15, 1634; Henry •Thomas Jefferson possessed the plays of the volume of 1619, which entered the library of the Universit}' of Virginia in 1853, by gift of his nephew, Thomas Mason Randolph, and were destroyed by fire in 1895. If he had bought the plays separately he might have qualified on them as an anticipator of Barton, but as he possessed only these he must be supposed to have picked them up as a volume, and one volume does not make a collector!

All the other copies belong to the volume of 1619. The Bridgewater Library is included in the list Itself because of the rarity of some of its four editions. [ xxxix ] INTRODUCTION In the first of these tables the 1608 Richard II has been included with some reluctance, as although it gives the first edition of part of the Deposition Scene this hardly entitles it to rank with first editions of whole plays, still less by virtue of its alternative titles to rank as two. In this case, however, as in those of the Hamlet of 1 604-1605, the Henry IV, Part II, of 1600, and the Troilits of 1609, whether the two issues are counted twice or not, as It chances, makes no difference to the order of precedence of the chief collections. At the head of this come the British Museum and Mr. Huntington, each only lacking the doubtfully Shakespearian Titus Andronicus of 1594 and two variant titles. Mr. Huntington has nine duplicates against six owned by the Museum, and from a textual standpoint this gives him a slight advantage; on the other hand the crop- ping and mounting of the Kemble plays would probably make most col- lectors prefer the Museum set. The Bodleian and Capell collections follow some little way behind, and then come Mr. Folger, the Elizabethan Club, and Mr. White. The total number of copies here registered as on the English side of the Atlantic is seventy-seven and on the American seventy-eight. As regards our second table the benefit of the doubt has been given to the undated Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, though some bibliographers place them as late as 1630. As Mr. Huntington is the only possessor of copies of both the title-pages of the Romeo and Juliet, this is in his favor and gives him a total of twenty-three against twenty-one In the British Museum, while Mr. Huntington has sixteen duplicates and the Museum fourteen. The Bodleian and Capell collections each have twenty-one editions, Mr. Folger being fifth with sixteen editions and twenty-five dupli- cates, mostly of plays of the volume of 1619. The total of the copies in American hands is again a little larger than those registered as In British collections, although as it is probable that there are more unregistered copies in Great Britain the difference either way is very slight. In the third section, of editions after 1623, In which English collectors have taken little interest, the American predominance is more marked. A few notes and explanations remain to be added. The scope of our researches has been determined for us by the earlier work of Sir Sidney Lee, who has already dealt with the First Folio and with Pericles and the Poems. Our limit has been taken at 1709, the year of the publication of Rowes text, the first which bore an editor's name. This introduction and the details of the larger English collections down to 1660 are mainly the work of the English partner in this enterprise, while the later quartos in English hands, all those in the United States and the List of Unidentified Copies and Index are due to the American. But the partners have exchanged much Information and are quite willing to share the burden of each other's responsibilities. American copies are allocated to their owners in the autumn of 19 15, British ones to those who held them at the outbreak of the European War, which may also be mentioned as having precluded any attempt to trace the few quartos on the Continent of Europe, and [ xl ] INTRODUCTION interrupted a correspondence with the late Lord Ninian Crichton Stuart, who later on died very gallantly at the head of his battalion of the Welsh Regiment. The lack of information as to his copies and Mr. Folger's is greatly regretted. In other respects we could wish our work were better, but the difficulties of collaboration under the circumstances of the last eighteen months have been great. Two small points to be noted are that the measurements of type-pages and of most copies have been taken from sig. Ci, and that the catchwords of the first page of each quire are given as a help to identifying imperfect copies. These catchwords have been found excellent tests in differentiating the undated editions of Hamlet and Julius Caesar which have hitherto been confused. The differentiation of Mr. W. A. White's 1598 edition of Richard II from the other examples bearing this date has already been mentioned incidentally, and may perhaps also be placed to the credit of this Census. Our thanks are due to His Grace the Duke of Devonshire and his libra- rian, Mr. J. P. Maine; His Lordship the late Earl of Ellesmere and his librarian, Mr. Strachan Holme; Mr. S. R. Christie Miller, Britwell Court; Mr. John Murray. London; Mr. W. A. White, Brooklyn; Mr. H. E. Huntington, New York; Mr. H. H. Furness, Philadelphia; Mr. Marsden J. Perry, Providence, R. I.; to the librarians of the various public institu- tions in England and America which have Shakespeare Quartos; and lastly to all collectors in both countries who have kindly and generously opened their libraries to us and assisted us in every way with information in regard to their books.

There were four undated editions of this play issued between the first edition, 1684, and the sixth, i6gi. They differ so slightly that errors in pagination are here given as well as the usual collation, to enable an owner to determine which edition he has. The four editions are all reset throughout and confrontation shows many differences not easy to describe. The editions were probably issued in the order here assigned to them.

Small wormhole in top margin throughout; title badly stained. Note by Malone: "In Pope's list he gives the title of this play (of which he had only one copy) exactly as it stands here, except that he has given no date, from which it has been supposed that there is another edition published by Thos. Walkley without a date, and not long after Shakespeare's death. Perhaps the date was cut off from his copy. In 70 years no undated copy of this play has been discovered, which makes me doubt whether it ever existed. The Quarto copies which had belonged to Pope, afterwards fell into the hands of Warburton, who put them into Mallet's Sale in 1766; but I know not to whom they were sold. If they could be recovered, this point might be ascertained. That Pope's copy had no date appears from his inferring from Walkley's preface that the play was published soon after Shakespeare's death : which he need not have done if his copy had had the date ; but I have no doubt that the date was wanting merely by being cut off which frequently happens in old plays.

Facing title is a portrait of Richard III from "Hasih'ologia," also an impression in red wax from a seal with note above: "This impression was taken from the seal of Richard the Third, which was dug up some years ago in Bosv/orth Field, and fell into the hands of the late Dr. Lort. A boar was Richard's cognizance. E. M." Note on verso title: "The title-page of the original edition of this play printed in 1597, corresponds with that at the otlier side to the word death; after which follows 'As it hath been lately acted . . . 1597'. The words newly augmented first appeared in the titlepage of the edition printed in 1602, which was, I believe, the copy prin- cipally followed in printing the folio. This copy has been collated with the edition of 1598, and the various readings are in the margin. From this collation it appears that the errors of omission in this copy (to say nothing of the other numerous faults) are no less that twenty six : a striking proof of the value of first editions, and of what I have so often stated in my edition, that omission of words (and sometimes of lines) is one of the most common errors of the press. E. M. Since the above collation was made, I have met with the edition of 1597, and collated it. The variations between the copy of 1597 and that of 1598 are set down, and are distinguished by being written in imitation of print. Since I wrote the above I have got a copy of this 1st edition.

'This play' says he 'was first printed at London 1594 and acted by the Earls of Darby Pembroke and Essex their servants'. Doubtless he had it before him. The description of the companies by whom it was plaid is different both from the enumera- tion of the edition of 1600 and that at the head of A2 1611. In the year 1800 a copy of this play printed in 1600 was discovered in the Duke of Bridgewater's Library at Ashridge which has since been removed to London. I have collated the present copy with it, and the variations are set down. No other copy of the edition of 1600, except this of the D of Bs is known to exist ; nor was it ever seen by any of the editors of Shakespeare before 1800.
