 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION, 
 
 Since the preparation in 1SS7 of the first edition of 
 this Calendar, which was printed for private circu- 
 lation and for presents only, the literary and more 
 especially the Shakespearean world, has had to 
 deplore the loss of its highly-talented editor, the late 
 J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, Esq., F.R.S., &c. The 
 deceased scholar, by his Will, proved in the spring 
 of 1889, left very special directions as to the disposal 
 of the Shakespearean treasures, which were cata- 
 logued in the volume, and as they are still in the 
 hands of his executors, and as the copies of the 
 Calendar have been exhausted, it appears to be a 
 very proper step not only to print a second edition, 
 but also to quote the clause in his Will which relates 
 to the sale of the many perfectly unique rarities, and 
 to the mode in which they are to be dealt with. 
 The clause is as follows : — 
 
 "And whereas my collection of Shakespearean rarities, 
 described in a printed catalogue, entitled ' A Calendar of 
 the Shakespearean Rarities, preserved at Hollingbury 
 Copse, near Brighton,' 8vo., 1887, is unrivalled and of 
 national interest, and being desirous of its being kept in 
 this county, I direct my Trustees to offer it to the Cor- 
 poration of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick (where 
 as the leading town of Shakespeare's native county such a 
 collection would be appropriately located), on condition of 
 the said Corporation paying for it to my Trustees the sum 
 of £7,000 sterling. And in case the said Corporation do 
 not accept this offer within one year after my decease, then 
 I give to my Trustees the last mentioned collection upon 
 trust, to deposit it at the Chancery Lane Safe Deposit 
 until they can sell it for the sum of £10,000, or more, or if 
 such price be not obtained within twelve years after my 
 decease, then upon trust, &c, &c."
 
 VI. 
 
 The Corporation of Birmingham, notwithstanding 
 the stronsf recommendation of their Free Libraries 
 Committee to acquire the literary treasures, were 
 unable, mainly owing, I think, to legal difficulties, to 
 see their way to accept the offer contained in the 
 Will, and to make the purchase of the collection, 
 which, therefore, now temporarily awaits a purchaser 
 at the higher sum named. 
 
 The circumstances having, of course, considerably 
 changed since the compilation of the first edition, 
 I have thought it well to vary the original plan and 
 to enlarge the volume considerably by notes de- 
 scriptive of the various items, and also to particularise 
 the bindings. Many of the books contain memo- 
 randa, written in them by their late owner, pointing 
 out their special Shakespearean interest, and the 
 reason of their being included in the collection ; 
 these memoranda I have for the most part copied in 
 full, and I have drawn largely from the seventh 
 (1887) edition of the well-known " Outlines of the 
 Life of Shakespeare," for the notes. 
 
 In conclusion, I would express a sincere wish that 
 this really national collection of Shakespearean 
 deeds, books, and illustrations may find a permanent 
 home in the native land of the Great Dramatist ; 
 and I feel sure every Englishman will fully endorse 
 this and agree with the remark made by Punchy 
 when referring to it last September, that " The 
 World is the richer for his words, and certainly to 
 the country of his birth belong the records of his 
 deeds."

 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 
 
 For nearly half a century I have been an ardent 
 Shakespearean collector, being most likely the only 
 survivor of the little band who attended the sale of 
 the library of George Chalmers somewhere about 
 the year 1840. But for a long time, attempting too 
 much in several directions with insufficient means, 
 and harassed, moreover, by a succession of lawsuits, 
 including two in the Court of Torture — I mean 
 Chancery, — I was unable to retain my accumula- 
 tions : and thus it came to pass that bookcase full 
 after bookcase full were disposed of, some by private 
 contract, many under the vibrations of the auc- 
 tioneer's hammer. This state of affairs continued 
 till February, 1872, but since that period, by a strict 
 limitation of my competitive resources to one subject, 
 — the Life of Shakespeare, — I have managed to jog 
 along without parting with a single article of any 
 description, nor is there a probability that the collec- 
 tion described in the following pages will ever be 
 dispersed. 
 
 When the reader, or, rather, I should say, the 
 inspector, of this calendar bears in mind that, exclu- 
 sive of the Blight sketches, all but the whole of this 
 collection has been formed within the last fifteen 
 years, and that it already stands pre-eminent amidst 
 the libraries of the world in no less than four of 
 the most important divisions of Shakespeareana, the 
 product will be regarded with no small astonishment 
 by those who know how exceedingly difficult it is, 
 and how very rarely, as a rule, it is possible, to
 
 Vlll. 
 
 obtain even a single document of the sixteenth or 
 seventeenth century, or a single original drawing of 
 the eighteenth, that is perceptibly illustrative of the 
 poet's biography. Half-a-dozen of either would be 
 infinitely more difficult to obtain"" than an impene- 
 trable fifty-thousand-volume library t of modern 
 books on the works of the great dramatist. The 
 four divisions to which allusion has here been made 
 
 * The market has been swept and the day has now gone by 
 for reasonable expectations to rise beyond the endless acquisition 
 of modern Shakespeareana and the occasional gleaning of an 
 important rarity. So it was with no small amusement that those 
 who are conversant with such matters observed the alarm that 
 was expressed by more than one journal at a recent movement 
 which was supposed to involve the danger of the Shakespearean 
 interests of London being sacrificed to those of Warwickshire. 
 Perhaps the worthy critics imagined that the dulcet tones of a 
 committee of solicitation would attract early editions and title- 
 deeds from the firmament, — it is difficult to understand how else 
 they could be gathered to an extent that would allure metropolitan 
 students to the bank of the Avon. At the same time it is only 
 fair to recognise the local utility of the collection that is now 
 being formed in the elegant library which Stratford owes to the 
 generous liberality of Mr. Charles Flower. 
 
 t It may be well, in view of the present tendency to herald 
 numerical supremacy as a test of value, to observe that no 
 ambition of the kind has stimulated the gathering of the collection 
 which is described in the succeeding pages. The whole, indeed, 
 is comprised in about two hundred volumes, a striking contrast 
 to the seven thousand that are already accumulated in the 
 recently-formed Shakespearean Library at Birmingham ; but 
 victory in these cases is not always with the largest battalions, 
 and the accomplished Shakespearean Director of that town, 
 Mr. Sam. Timmins, would be the first to acknowledge that at 
 least 50 per cent, of its modern acquisitions could be consigned 
 to the waste-paper basket without the slightest prejudice to the 
 interests of literature or to the honour of the great dramatist. I 
 speak feelingly, in the hope that the Shakespeare drag-net may 
 be relieved of its weeds and sand, for if a much larger percentage 
 of my own writings in this kind could be eliminated, the opera- 
 tion would add very much to my complacency. Perhaps, 
 however, in my own individual case, it is better as it is ; — " our 
 virtues might be proud, if our faults whipped them not."
 
 IX. 
 
 are, — I. Early engraved portraits of Shakespeare. 
 2. Authentic personal relics. 3. Documentary evi- 
 dences respecting his estates and individuals who 
 are connected with his biography. 4. Artistic illus- 
 trations of localities connected with his personal 
 history. 
 
 1. The most important of these is of course the 
 copy of the Droeshout portrait (No. 220) of Shake- 
 speare in its original proof state before it zvas altered 
 by an inferior hand into the vitiated form in which 
 it has been so long familiar to the public. This is 
 the earliest engraved portrait of the great dramatist, 
 and differs so materially from the later impressions 
 that it gives a new and more pleasing idea of his 
 features. Here we have the most reliable likeness 
 of Shakespeare in existence, the only one which has 
 not been injuriously tampered with, while, at the 
 same time, the evidences of its genuineness and its 
 antiquity are incontestable, and it is most unfortunate 
 that the appliances of modern art are inadequate to 
 its satisfactory reproduction. The collection includes 
 several other impressions of the engraving in various 
 states of the plate, as well as all the known engraved 
 portraits of the great dramatist up to that which was 
 published by Rowe in 1 709 ; but scarcely any have 
 been admitted that were issued after that year, none 
 of the latter being of real value, and very few that 
 can be fairly said to be of the slightest interest. 
 
 2. Very few authentic personal relics of the great 
 dramatist, that is to say, articles that were at one 
 time indubitably in his own possession, are known 
 to be in existence. They are, in fact, restricted to 
 the will, now preserved at Somerset House, and to a 
 small number of title-deeds, for there is not a single 
 other domestic memorial of any description the 
 genuineness of which is not open to either doubt 
 or suspicion. But that the title-deeds of his unmort- 
 gaged estates, those that are dated previously to the
 
 X. 
 
 twenty-third of April, 1616, were once in his own 
 hands, does not admit of rational question ; docu- 
 ments of this kind having been, in his day, jealously 
 guarded by their owners, never being entrusted, as 
 now, to the custody of solicitors. Of these title- 
 deeds there are no fewer than six in the present 
 collection, the four New Place indentures, Nos. 143 
 to 146, and the two (No. 140) original indentures 
 of a fine between the poet and Hercules Underhill 
 that was levied in the year 1602. 
 
 To these may in all probability, though not with 
 absolute certainty, be added the original conveyance 
 (No. 148) of Shakespeare's Blackfriars estate, 1613, 
 which was unquestionably on the table when the 
 poet executed the concurrent mortgage, and as it 
 must have been formally passed over to him, it is 
 altogether most unlikely that he did not touch it 
 with his own hands. This was the deed that was 
 enrolled in Chancery soon after the purchase, the 
 official endorsement still remaining in a perfect state 
 of preservation, and it was for many years one of 
 the leading treasures of the Sainsbury collection. 
 It subsequently passed into that of the late Sir 
 W illiam Tite, who very kindly, on December the 
 20th, 1872, transferred the purchase to me. I after- 
 wards had the good fortune to acquire the other 
 Shakespearean ornament of the Sainsbury hoard, 
 the original deed (No. 149) transferring the house 
 in the Blackfriars in trust to follow the directions 
 of the poet's will, a document that was executed in 
 161 8, and handed over to his daughter Susannah. 
 A record of later date respecting the same estate, 
 the exemplification of a fine that was levied in 1647, 
 will be observed at No. 124. 
 
 3. Amongst these may be noticed, in addition to 
 the six interesting title-deeds above-mentioned 
 respecting New Place, the series of documents 
 relating to the same estate, Nos. 125 to 131 ; two
 
 XI. 
 
 deeds (Nos. 133, 258) each having the autograph 
 of the poet's Sir Thomas Lucy, the first with a 
 perfect impression of the seal exhibiting the three 
 luces; the deed (No. 142) of 1596, witnessed by- 
 John Shakespeare ; a large number of records of 
 Hathaway families, including several relating to a 
 house at Stratford that undoubtedly belonged to 
 relatives of the poet's Anne, two of them mention- 
 ing the boundary of his estate ; the Clopton 
 cartulary (No. 1) in which is found the earliest 
 discovered notice of any part of Shakespeare's 
 property ; other documents with the very rare 
 signatures of John a' Combe ; Thomas Greene, 
 the poet's cousin ; Walter Roche, his schoolmaster ; 
 Francis Collins, his solicitor ; Thomas Combe, to 
 whom he left his sword ; and Shakespeare Hart. 
 There are also two with the autographs of the Earls 
 of Southampton and Essex. 
 
 4. It is very difficult to meet with pictorial 
 illustrations of the Life of Shakespeare that belong 
 to even a small antiquity. With the exception 
 of the very few engravings to be met with in 
 periodicals, in editions of the poet's works, and 
 in Ireland's Warwickshire Avon, and which are 
 sufficiently common, any of the kind which were 
 executed before the commencement of the present 
 century are of exceedingly rare occurrence. The 
 Bodleian Library, so rich in English topography, 
 has none ; while in that enormous literary ware- 
 house, the British Museum, there are hardly any 
 of the slightest interest. There are, indeed, only 
 two large and important collections of drawings 
 and engravings illustrative of Shakespearean 
 biography. One of these, that now preserved at 
 the Birth-Place, was formed by the late Mr. W. 
 O. Hunt and myself in years gone by, when we 
 ransacked Stratford-on-Avon and its neighbour- 
 hood for every relic of the kind. The other, the
 
 xu. 
 
 present one, is all but entirely the result of pur- 
 chases from other localities. Each collection is, 
 at present, of unique interest, and is likely to 
 remain so. It is not probable that another, of 
 equal value to either, could now be formed, and 
 even many of the engravings and lithographs of 
 forty or fifty years of age are of great rarity, obtain- 
 able only by accident. 
 
 The biographical student should guard against 
 the too easy rejection of comparatively modern 
 illustrations. Every representation of an old build- 
 ing, however recent, if taken from nature and before 
 its alteration, is of a definite and permanent value. 
 Thus, for example, the only perfect evidences 
 of the state of the back of the Birth Place pre- 
 viously to its restoration were preserved in a 
 number of photographic plates executed in 1854, 
 now in the museum of that institution, but so 
 faded that they are all but valueless ; and had 
 I not had the precaution of having had copies 
 made of them before many of the details had 
 disappeared, those evidences would have been lost 
 for ever. The copies are in the unrivalled series 
 of Birth-Place illustrations calendared in the follow- 
 ing pages. No early views of the above-mentioned 
 portions of the building have yet been discovered, 
 and even late unpublished sketches of the street- 
 exterior are of such immense rarity that I thought 
 myself fortunate in obtaining Shepherd's water- 
 colour view (No. 668) taken about the year 1830, 
 and Neale's large pencil sketch (No. J^2>) taken 
 in July, 1820. As for original drawings of the 
 last century, many readers will be surprised to hear 
 that only three are known to exist, the so-called 
 one in the British Museum being a mere variation 
 of the published engraving of 1769. Two of those 
 three are in the present collection, Greene's sketch, 
 No. 654 and Ireland's view taken in 1792, No J33
 
 Xlll. 
 
 Some years ago there was a fourth, a large sketch 
 by Jordan, but it perished with the rest of the 
 Staunton library in 1879. A facsimile tracing, in 
 the volume described at No. J2>Z^ ls now i ts unique 
 representative. 
 
 The collection of printed Shakespeareana has 
 been mainly restricted to books that were issued 
 before the Restoration of Charles the Second in 
 1660, the few belonging to a later period owing 
 their admission to their being in some way either 
 illustrative of the poet's biography, or of practices 
 in the representation of his dramas that may have 
 been adopted from those that had been current 
 at the Globe or Blackfriars. Amongst the articles 
 in this division may be mentioned the all but 
 unique surreptitious edition of Pierce Penilesse, 
 1592, in which there is the earliest allusion to any 
 of the works of Shakespeare that has yet been 
 discovered ; the drama of Promos and Cassandra, 
 the foundation-play of Measure for Measure, 1578; 
 the Destruction of Troy, partially used by Shake- 
 speare in the construction of Troilus and Cressida, 
 1596; the History of Tom Drum, 1598, alluded 
 to in All's Well that Ends Well ; the unique work 
 by Morley, 1600, with the only known contem- 
 porary copy of the original music to a song in 
 As You Like It; the Rape of Lucrece, 1624; 
 Love's Labour's Lost, 1598. To these may be 
 added the unique 156S impression of Lily's Shorte 
 Introduction to Grammar, being the edition pro- 
 bably used at the Stratford school during the poet's 
 sojourn at that institution. 
 
 The critical study of the poet's text being alto- 
 gether outside the scope of my design, the few 
 early editions of his works that are herein men- 
 tioned have been admitted, generally speaking, 
 by the merest accident. The unique portion of 
 the first edition of the First Part of Henry the
 
 XIV. 
 
 Fourth, 1598, No. 19, is one of the chief excep- 
 tions. But early notices and the foundation-stories 
 •of the plays are included, these belonging to the 
 history of his work. 
 
 Amongst the numerous articles that illustrate the 
 history and topography of Stratford-on-Avon may 
 be mentioned the Clopton cartulary, No. 1 ; the 
 ground-plan of the College, temp. Hen. 8, No. 221 ; 
 the interesting perambulation of the town, 1591, 
 No. 222 ; two curious old levies, No. 248 ; the 
 earliest books of the manorial court that are known 
 to exist, Nos. 67 and 68 ; a plan of the town made 
 in 1759, the earliest complete one yet discovered, 
 No. 580 ; and Fisher's original drawings of the 
 singularly curious paintings discovered on the walls 
 of the Guild Chapel in 1804. These last-mentioned 
 works are of considerable value, the published copies 
 not being strictly accurate, and they are now unique, 
 the only replicas that were made having been lost 
 in the disastrous accident that befell the Staunton 
 collection. 
 
 Shakespeare having been as much of a Londoner 
 as he was a Stratfordian, great attention has been 
 paid to the acquisition of plans and views relating 
 to the contemporary metropolis. Amongst these 
 one of the most interesting is Norden's engraving 
 of London Bridge, 1597, described at No. 238. It 
 is the earliest authentic large view of the bridge in 
 the state in which it must necessarily have been 
 familiar to the great dramatist. Braun's plan of the 
 city, 1574, in the original state of the plate before 
 the Royal Exchange was introduced, No. 529, is of 
 great rarity, as is also Harrison's view, 1604, No. 
 292, while the edition of Visscher, No. 162, is 
 unique. 
 
 It having been decisively ascertained that Shake- 
 speare was intimately acquainted with Windsor, a 
 considerable number of views of that town have
 
 XV. 
 
 been admitted. Heme's Oak has also received its 
 due meed of attention. In Collier's map, 1742, No. 
 324, there is the first extrinsic notice of the tree, and 
 a description of the earliest known view, an original 
 drawing by Rooke, will be found at No. 420. 
 
 Some of the manuscripts of the Rev. Joseph 
 Greene, who was master of the grammar-school of 
 Stratford-on-Avon from 1746 to 1787, and who was 
 the first antiquary the town has produced, are of 
 considerable interest, and include valuable informa- 
 tion nowhere else to be found. They were purchased 
 by me, in 1873, from his descendant, the late 
 Richard Greene, F.S.A. About the same time I 
 acquired from the late Joseph Lilly, the well-known 
 bookseller, a copy of the first edition of Dugdale's 
 Antiquities of Warwickshire, 1656, which had be- 
 longed to Richard Greene of Lichfield, a person who 
 was intimately connected with Stratford-upon-Avon, 
 and who had illustrated that fine old work with 
 original drawings made by himself and others 
 between the years 1760 and 1769. It was thus that 
 I became possessed of the inestimable earliest repre- 
 sentation of the Birth-Place known to exist, and of 
 various drawings executed during that period, all of 
 which are unique ; but a sketch of the Jubilee 
 Amphitheatre of 1769, the only contemporary one 
 that has yet been discovered, I gave to the Birth- 
 Place Museum as an article of essential local interest. 
 With that exception the whole of the original illus- 
 trations that were found in the volume have been 
 added to the present collection. 
 
 There is a variety of articles not readily classified, 
 such as the unique copy of the Return from Parnas- 
 sus, 1602, No. ^y, the only manuscript of the time of 
 Elizabeth in a private library in which any of the 
 works of Shakespeare are mentioned ; several early 
 manuscript miscellanies of Shakespearean interest; 
 the important original plan of Middlesex executed
 
 XVI. 
 
 by Norden about the year 1593, No. 352 ; and the 
 first, also the unique, edition of Foole vpon Foole, 
 1600, No. 751. 
 
 Amongst the pieces of theatrical interest may be 
 mentioned the all but unique tract of 1588, No. 56, 
 containing the notice of The Theatre ; the original 
 edition of Roscius Anglicanus, No. 61 ; the old play- 
 bill, one of the earliest known, No. 229 ; the rare 
 tract by Field on the accident at Paris Garden, 
 1583; the unique fragment of a contemporary 
 prompt-copy of Marlowe's Massacre of Paris, No. 
 287 ; Gosson's Playes Confuted, No. 285 ; the 
 original certificate respecting the Blackfriars Theatre, 
 No. 198 ; the annotated copy of Spenser identifying 
 Tarlton as the " pleasant Willy," No. 3 ; the interest- 
 ing document respecting the locality of the Globe 
 Theatre, No. 245 ; the earliest engraving of Shake- 
 spearean characters in a theatre, No. 764. 
 
 The artistic portion of the present collection, 
 although so singularly extensive, is not the result of 
 a mere desire for accumulation. It has been formed 
 with the definite purpose of illustrating the Life of 
 Shakespeare by representations of every morsel that 
 could be found of his own contemporary England, 
 — that is to say, of every object that he himself 
 was likely to have seen. Deeply impressed by the 
 rapidity with which these vestiges were disappearing, 
 I engaged Mr. J. T. Blight, F.S.A., a very accom- 
 plished draughtsman, to make sketches in furtherance 
 of this design during the years from 1862 to 1868. 
 Not only was every corner of Stratford-upon-Avon 
 and its neighbourhood explored, but we followed as 
 far as we could the routes known to have been 
 taken by the poet in his various journeys, anxiously 
 searching for remains that could be positively 
 assigned to his own times, and carefully excluding 
 those which had passed through the hands of the 
 modern restorer.
 
 XVI 1. 
 
 I made the acquaintance of Mr. Blight at his 
 native town of Penzance in i860, an acquaintance 
 which soon ripened into a warm friendship that 
 terminated only with his death to the world through 
 a grievous and incurable malady. A thorough good 
 J fellow in every sense of the word, he was also a 
 most agreeable companion, his conversation teeming 
 with quaint and original thought, while he wisely 
 refrained, out of working-hours, from that perpetual 
 chatter on literature and art which some students 
 consider it necessary to maintain, but which, to say 
 the least, does not always act as a restorative. As 
 an archaeological draughtsman he was unrivalled in 
 accuracy, taking infinite pains with unlimited patience 
 to secure the representation of the minutest details. 
 That accuracy has added immeasurably to the value 
 of the numerous sketches from his pencil that enrich 
 the present collection, and it is not too much to say, 
 so many of the objects of his work having since 
 been either modernised or destroyed, that no artistic 
 monograph Life of Shakespeare could be complete 
 without the insertion of a large proportion of his 
 drawings. 
 
 A large work on the lines above indicated could 
 hardly fail to be welcome to the student, but, as is 
 so often the case, the time occupied in gathering 
 together the necessary artistic and literary material 
 has practically excluded the collector himself from 
 the opportunity of making an effective use of his 
 accumulations. As our Brighton whip, in the old 
 days of coaching, used to say, " Tempus will fudgit," 
 and it has fudgited with me until there is but a little 
 working slice of it left. That slice is insufficient for 
 the due execution of such an undertaking. In a 
 very few years, half a century will have elapsed since 
 my first work on Shakespeare was published, and 
 the termination of that period must also, if I survive, 
 be that of my student-work. If the fate of the 
 
 R
 
 XV111. 
 
 Archbishop of Grenada is to be escaped, this should 
 be the resolve, not merely of those who have 
 traversed the higher walks of literature, but of the 
 lesser votaries, who, like myself, lay claim to nothing 
 beyond a capacity for research and the ability of 
 utilizing its products. 
 
 Little autobiographical reflections of this kind 
 might anyhow be excused in a privately-printed 
 brochure of very limited circulation, but they are in 
 fact given as the most effectual method of advising 
 a younger enthusiast that he can, without lack of 
 courtesy to the originator, carry out an important 
 design. When such a one arises with the large 
 means that will be requisite to complete the work 
 in a satisfactory manner, the artistic and other 
 materials that are briefly described in the following 
 pages cannot fail to prove of essential service.

 A CALENDAR. 
 
 1. The original cartulary, compiled in the time of 
 Henry the Eighth, of the Cloptons of Stratford-on- 
 Avon and Clopton. 
 
 A folio volume in the ancient vellum covers with leather 
 fastenings. This manuscript, the most important record of 
 the family known to exist, contains numerous interesting 
 notices of Stratford-on-Avon, including two respecting that 
 which was afterwards the Shakespearean estate of New 
 Place. The dates run from 13 13 to 15 15. 
 
 2. Collections respecting the Free-school of 
 Stratford-on-Avon, by the Rev. Joseph Greene, 
 the head-master ; the original manuscript written 
 about the year 1760. 4to. 
 
 Green Levant morocco, super extra, lettered along the 
 back in a compartment, broad rich inside borders, French 
 filletted sides, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 
 " Some of the manuscripts of the Rev. Joseph Greene, 
 who was master of the Grammar School of Stratford-on- 
 Avon from 1746 to 1787, and who was the first antiquary 
 the town has produced, are of considerable interest, and 
 include valuable information nowhere else to be found." — 
 Preface to first edition of " The Calendar." 
 
 3. Spenser's Faerie Qveene, 1609, and the 
 Shepheards. Calender, 161 1. 
 
 Old half calf neat. 
 
 This contains manuscript notes, some of which are 
 extremely interesting, especially the one which identifies 
 Tarlton as the "pleasant Willy." They were written 
 
 B 2
 
 either in or about the year 1628, as appears from the 
 memorandum at the bottom of the first title. The printed 
 book is not complete, but this is a matter of no import- 
 ance, its special value resting solely on the manuscript 
 additions. 
 
 4. The Rape of Lucrece, by Mr. William 
 Shakespeare. Newly Reuised : London, printed

 his shop neere the Conduit in Fleet-street, 1624. 
 — 1 2 mo. 
 
 Purple morocco, neat, gilt leaves. 
 
 Of great rarity, not more than one or two other copies 
 being known to exist. I gave Quaritch forty guineas for 
 this most excessively rare edition in November, 1885. 
 
 5. A paper in the hand-writing of the Rev. 
 Joseph Greene, Master of the Grammar School 
 of Stratford -on-Avon. 1767. 
 
 This contains the only account of Shakespeare's resi- 
 dence of New Place that has been recorded from the 
 spoken words of a person who had actually seen the 
 building, one Richard Grimmitt, who was born at Stratford 
 in January, 1683: "This Richard the younger said he in 
 his youth had been a playfellow with Edw. Clopton, 
 senior, eldest son of Sir John Clopton, knt., and had been 
 often with him in ye great house near ye chapel in Strat- 
 ford call'd New Place ; that, to ye best of his remembrance, 
 there was a brick wall next ye street, with a kind of porch 
 at that end of it next ye Chapel, when they cross'd a small 
 kind of green court before they enter'd ye house, which was 
 bearing to ye left and fronted with brick, with plain 
 windows consisting of common panes of glass set in lead, 
 as at this time." 
 
 6. The View of the House where Shakespear 
 dy'd, since pulled down by Frank Gastrill. 
 
 A drawing by T. Sharp, of mulberry-tree notoriety, taken 
 by him from some older sketch, c. 1770.

 My duplicate of this very rare play sold in 1857 for £6, 
 at Sotheby's.

 History of the Life of Sir John Oldcastle, the good 
 Lord Cobham. Written by William Shakespeare. 
 4to. 1600. 
 
 Purple Turkey morocco, plain, gilt leaves, by C. Lewis. 
 
 Although this drama is known not only to have been 
 composed by other dramatists, but also to have belonged
 
 to a theatrical company with whom Shakespeare had then 
 no manner of connection, it was unblushingly announced 
 as his work by the publisher, Thomas Pavier, a shifty 
 bookseller, residing at the grotesque sign of the Cat and 
 Parrots, near the Royal Exchange. Two editions were 
 issued in the same year by Pavier, the one most largely 
 distributed being that which was assigned to the pen of 
 the great dramatist, and another to which no writer's name 
 is attached. — Outlines, I., 180. 
 
 ii. A Wittie and Pleasant Comedie called the 
 Taming' of the Shrew. As it was acted by his 
 Maiesties Seruants at the Blacke Friers and the 
 Globe. Written by Will. Shakespeare. London, 
 printed by W. S. for Iohn Smethwicke, and are 
 to be sold at his Shop in Saint Dunstones Church- 
 yard vnder the Diall. 163 1. — Quarto. 
 
 Olive morocco, super extra, blind and gold panelled 
 sides after the antique, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 
 Most of the incidents of this drama, as well as those of 
 its exquisite Induction, are taken from an old farce which 
 was written at some time before May, 1595, and published 
 in that year under the nearly identical title of the Taming 
 of a Shrew. This latter work had then been acted by the 
 Earl of Pembroke's servants, and was probably well known 
 to Shakespeare when he was connected with that company, 
 or shortly afterwards * * * The period at which he 
 wrote the new comedy is at present a matter solely of 
 conjecture. — Outlines, I., 232-233. 
 
 12. The xv. Bookes of P. Ouidius Naso, enty- 
 tuled Metamorphosis, translated oute of Latin into 
 Fnglish meeter by Arthur Golding, gentleman, a 
 worke very pleasaunt and delectable. 
 
 With skill, heed, and judgement, this Worke must 
 
 be read, 
 For else to the Reader it stands in small stead. 
 
 Imprynted at London by Willyam Seres. 1567. 
 — 4to. 
 
 Purple morocco, half extra. 
 
 One of the few books that can be positively asserted to
 
 have been at least partially read by Shakespeare, several 
 passages from it being adopted in the Tempest. First 
 edition very rare. On the whole, a very fine copy : the 
 nicest I have seen for sale. 
 
 13. The Life and Death of King Richard the 
 Second, with new Additions of the Parliament Scene 
 and the Deposing of King Richard. As it hath 
 beene acted by the Kings Majesties Servants at the 
 Globe. By William Shakespeare. London, printed 
 by Iohn Norton, 1634. — Quarto. 
 
 Olive morocco, half extra. 
 
 14. An Apology for Actors containing three briefe 
 Treatises. Written by Thomas Heywood. 4to. 
 1612. 
 
 Purple morocco, Harleian panelled sides, gold borders 
 inside. 
 
 In the year 161 2 the third edition of the Passionate 
 Pilgrim made its appearance, the publisher seeking to 
 attract a special class of buyers by describing it as con- 
 sisting of " Certain Amorous Sonnets between Venus 
 and Adonis." These were announced as the work of 
 Shakespeare, but it is also stated that to them were 
 " newly added two love-epistles, the first from Paris to 
 Helen, and Helen's answer back again to Paris ;" the 
 name of the author of the last two poems not being 
 mentioned. The wording of the title might imply that 
 the latter were also the compositions of the great 
 dramatist, but they were in fact written by Thomas 
 Heywood, and had been impudently taken from his 
 Troia Britanica, a large poetical work that had appeared 
 three years previously, 1609. " Here, likewise," observes 
 that writer, speaking in 161 2 of the last-named produc- 
 tion, " I must necessarily insert a manifest injury done 
 me in that worke by taking the two Epistles of Paris to 
 Helen, and Helen to Paris, and printing them in a lesse 
 volume under the name of another, which may put the 
 world in opinion I might steale them from him ; and hee, 
 to doe himselfe right, hath since published them in his 
 owne name ; but as I must acknowledge my lines not 
 worthy his patronage under whom he hath publisht them, 
 so the author I know much offended with M. Jaggard that
 
 (altogether unknovvne to him) presumed to make so bold 
 with his name." — Outlines, I., 236, 237. 
 
 The wrong catch words may be noticed, but this 
 copy is quite perfect as may be seen by reference to the 
 Shakespeare Societies' reprint. 
 
 15. The Most Royall and Honourable Entertaine- 
 ment of the famous and renowned King Christiern 
 the Fourth, King of Denmarke, who, with a fleet of 
 gallant ships, arriued on Thursday the 16 day of 
 July, 1606, in Tylbery-Hope, neere Grauesend. 
 By H. R. At London, 1606. — England's Farewell 
 to Christian the fourth famous King of Denmarke,

 day of August last past, as in other places since his 
 Honourable passage thorow the Citie of London. 
 By H. Roberts. Printed at London for William 
 Welby, 1606. — Quarto.

 King of Denmark during the visit herein chronicled.

 16. Pierce Penilesse his Supplication to the 
 Diuell, describing the ouer-spreading of Vice and 
 suppression of Vertue. Pleasantly interlac'd with 
 variable delights, and pathetically intermixt with 
 conceited reproofes. Written by Thomas Nash, 
 gentleman. London, imprinted by Richard Ihones, 
 dwelling at the Signe of the Rose and Crowne, nere 
 Holburne Bridge, 1592. 
 
 Purple cloth. 
 
 This is such a beautiful perfect copy, and so precisely in 
 its original state, that I do not like to venture upon a 
 formal modern binding. 
 
 It is the first and surreptitious edition of Pierce 
 Penilesse, the one entered by Jones at Stationers' Hall 
 on August 8th, 1592. A second and authorized edition 
 appeared in the same year, but it was not published, as
 
 appears from its preface, until after the death of Greefi, on 
 September 3rd. 
 
 The First Part of Henry the Sixth was produced on 
 March 3rd, 1583, and the curious notice of its theatrical 
 popularity at folio 26 renders the present tract of singular 
 interest, that notice being the earliest allusion in our 
 printed literature to any one of the works of Shakespeare. 
 
 Only one other perfect copy of this tract, that which was 
 in the Ouvry collection, is known to exist. 
 
 The curious notice referred to is as follows : — 
 
 " How would it have joyed brave Talbot (the terror of 
 " the French) to thinke that, after he had lyen two 
 ' hundred yeare in his toomb, he should triumph againe 
 " on the stage, and have his bones new embalmed with the 
 " teares of ten thousand spectators at least, at severall 
 ' times, who, in the tragedian that represents his person, 
 " imagine they behold him fresh bleeding." 
 
 1 7. Palladis Tamia, Wits Treasury, being the 
 second part of Wits Common Wealth, by Francis 
 Meres, Maister of Artes of both Universities. At 
 London, printed by P. Short for Cuthbert Burbie, 
 and are to be sold at his shop at the Royall Ex- 
 change, 1598. — 121110. 
 
 Brown Levant morocco, super extra, gilt leaves, by 
 F. Bedford. 
 
 This curious and interesting little volume contains the 
 earliest list of Shakespeare's works known to exist, thus : — 
 
 " As the soule of Euphorbus was thought to live in 
 
 " Pythagoras ; so the sweete soule of Ovid lives in melli- 
 
 ' fluous and honytongued Shakespeare, witnes his Venus 
 
 ' and Adonis, his Lucrece, his sugred Sonnets among 
 
 " his private friends, &c. 
 
 "As Plautus and Seneca are accounted the best for 
 " Comedy and Tragedy among the Latines ; so Shake- 
 " speare among the English is the most excellent in both 
 " kinds for the stage ; for Comedy, witnes his Gentlemen 
 " of Verona, his Errors, his Love Labors lost, his Love 
 ' labours wonne, his Midsummer's night dreame, and his 
 " Merchant of Venice ; for Tragedy his Richard the 2, 
 " Richard the 3, Henry the 4, King John, Titus Andronicus, 
 " and his Romeo and Juliet. 
 
 " As Epius Stolo said, that the Muses would speak with
 
 8 
 
 " Plautus tongue, if they would speak Latin : so I say that 
 " the Muses would speak with Shakespeare's fine filed 
 " phrase, if they would speake English." 
 
 1 8. The Battell of Alcazar fought in Barbarie 
 betweene Sebastian King of Portugall, and Abdel- 
 melec, King of Marocco. 4to. Lond. 1594. 
 
 Calf, half extra. 
 
 This is one of the very few contemporary plays that are 
 distinctly quoted by Shakespeare. 
 
 This rare play is burlesqued by Pistol in the Second Part 
 of Henry the Fourth — "Then feed and be fat, my fair 
 Calipolis."— Halliwcll, 1866. 
 
 19. A fragment of four leaves only, but unique, no 
 other vestige of a copy having yet been discovered, 
 of the first edition of the first part of the Hystorie 
 of Henry the Fourth. 1598. 
 
 Red Turkey morocco, with broad borders of gold, the 
 whole of which arc beautifully hand tooled. 
 
 The last line is the only existing record of the true 
 reading in Poins's speech — " How the fat rogue roar'd !" 
 
 The reason of these leaves being clumsily mended and 
 unskilfully inserted arises from my considering them to be so 
 precious that 1 would not trust them out of my own 
 hands, the binders merely supplying the cover. There can 
 be little doubt but that they are a portion of the first and 
 hitherto unknown edition of the First Part of Henry 4th, 
 published by Wise early in the year 1598. The edition of 
 1 598, as hitherto known and styled the first, was no doubt 
 published later in the same year. I gather that this is the 
 first not only from the orthography of the word "Hystorie" 
 in the head-line — the other reading " Historic" — but from 
 the circumstance of the word fat in the last line of the 
 present fragment not being found in any other copy. 
 Omission is one of the commonest errors of our early 
 printers, and it is something at this late day to recover 
 even a single lost word written by Shakespeare. When 
 Wise entered this play on the registers of the Stationers' 
 Company in February 1597-8, he spoke of it as containing 
 the " conccipted mirth of Sir John Falstaffe." The title- 
 page of the complete edition of 1598 has "With the 
 humorous conceipts of Sir John Falstaffe." The title
 
 9 
 
 belonging to this fragment if ever discovered might 
 possibly agree with the wording of the copyright entry. 
 These leaves were found at Bristol some years ago in the 
 binding of a copy of Thomas' Rules of the Italian 
 Grammar. Quarto, 1567. J. O. Halliwell, May 25th, 1867. 
 
 20. The First Booke of Ayres, or Little Short 
 Songs to Sing and Play to the Lute, with the 
 base Viole. Newly published by Thomas Morley, 
 Bachiler of Musicke, and one of the Gent, of her 
 Maiesties Royall Chappel. Imprinted at London in 
 litle S. Helen's by William Barley, the assigne of 
 Thomas Morley, and are to be sold at his house in 
 Gracious Streete, 1600. — Folio. 
 
 Purple morocco, panelled sides, half extra. 
 
 Although imperfect, this book is unique, and it is of 
 peculiar value and interest as containing the only known 
 contemporary copy of the original music to the song, " It 
 was a lover and his lass," in As You Like It. 
 
 21. A Pleasant Conceited Comedie called Loues 
 labors lost. As it was presented before her Highnes 
 this last Christmas. Newly corrected and augmented 
 by W. Shakespere. Imprinted at London by W. W. 
 for Cutbert Burby, 1598. — Quarto. First edition. 
 
 Blue Levant morocco, super extra, gilt leaves, by 
 F. Bedford. 
 
 This is the earliest work of Shakespeare in which his 
 name occurs on a title-page. Three leaves of the text are 
 in facsimile, but all the rest, including the title, is in an 
 exceptionally fine condition, as clean and fresh as when it 
 first issued from the press. 
 
 According to the Barton report of the Boston Library, 
 there is no copy of this edition in the United States. 
 
 It is a volume of most excessive rarity. Daniels' copy, 
 slightly wormed, fetched ^346. 
 
 22. The Birth of Merlin, or the Childe hath found 
 his Father. As it hath been several times acted 
 with great applause. Written by William Shake- 
 spear and William Rowley. London, printed by 
 Tho. Johnson for Francis Kirkman and Henry
 
 IO 
 
 Marsh, and are to be sold at the Princes Arms in 
 Chancery- Lane, 1662. — Quarto. 
 
 Half straight grained morocco neat. 
 
 " Publishing evidence of authorship of this nature and 
 " late period is all but worthless — in Kirkman's case 
 " absolutely so — and it is in the highest degree improbable 
 ' that Shakespeare ever wrote any work in conjunction with 
 " William Rowley, who did not join the King's Company 
 " during the lifetime of the great dramatist." — Outlines, 
 II., 413. 
 
 23. A Letter whearin part of the entertainment 
 vntoo the Oueenz Maiesty at Killingwoorth Castl in 
 Warwik Sheer in this Soomerz Progress, 1575, iz 
 signified ; from a freend officer attendant in the 
 Coourt vnto hiz freend a Citizen and Merchaunt of 
 London. Small octavo. Black-letter edition. 
 
 Red straight grained morocco elegant, the sides richly 
 tooled with gold, tooled insides and joints, gilt gaufre edges, 
 by Herring. 
 
 Quaritch prices this at £21. A very rare and interesting 
 volume ; there is no copy in the Granville library, and Mr. 
 Hazlitt only mentions three collections which have it. It 
 is questionable whether it was printed in England. From 
 this work Sir Walter Scott derived all the information 
 concerning the pageantry and revels with which Queen 
 Elizabeth was received at Kenilworth. The original black- 
 letter edition. 
 
 24. The Teares of the Isle of Wight shed on 
 the Tombe of their most noble, valorous and louing 
 Captaine and Governour, the right Honourable 
 Henrie, Earle of Southampton, who dyed in the

 Printed at London by William Iones, dwelling in 
 Red-crosse-streete, 1625. — Quarto. 
 
 Olive morocco, super extra, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 This was published at the end of a sermon to which it 
 properly belongs. 
 
 25. The right excellent and famous Historye of 
 Promos and Cassandra, wherein is showne the un-
 
 1 1 
 
 sufferable abuse of a lewde Magistrate, the vertuous

 20, 1578. 
 
 Green straight grained morocco, panelled sides with 
 corner and centre ornaments. 
 
 This is the play whence Shakespeare derived the 
 plot of Measure for Measure. Only three other copies 
 known. 
 
 26. The Historie of Henry the Fourth, with the 
 Battell at Shrewsbury betweene the King and Lord 
 Henry Percy, surnamed Henry Hotspur of the 
 North. With the humorous conceits of Sir Iohn 
 Falstaffe. Newly corrected by William Shake- 
 speare. London, Printed by John Norton, and are

 it hath bene sundry times played about the Citie of 
 London. Imprinted at London by Simon Stafford 
 for Cuthbert Burby, and are to be sold at his shop 
 neere the Royall Exchange, 1599. 
 
 Brown morocco, half extra. 
 
 ' In an anonymous and popular drama entitled the Reign 
 " of King Edward the Third, produced in or before the year 
 " 1 595, there are occasional passages which by most 
 " judgments will be accepted as having been written either 
 " by Shakespeare or by an exceedingly dexterous and 
 " successful imitator of one of his then favourite styles of 
 " composition." — Outlines, L, 125. 
 
 28. Timbre de Cardone ende Fenicie van 
 Messine, a Dutch play on the story of Much 
 Ado about Nothing acted in Holland in the
 
 12 
 
 year 1618, with a wood-engraving of one of the 
 scenes. 
 
 Brown Levant morocco, super extra, gilt leaves, by F. 
 Bedford. 
 
 Mr. E. W. Gosse, in a long and interesting article on 
 this drama which appeared in the Athenaeum of 10 Nov. 
 1877, observes : — "In the year after Shakespeare died, the 
 Dutch poet wrote his tragi-comedy of Timbre de Cardone, 
 in which it appears to me that he made large use of his 
 reminiscences of Much Ado about Nothing. The next 
 year saw its publication. — This excessively rare play, which 
 was at one time thought to have entirely disappeared, and 
 which has never been reprinted, is so interesting, both 
 intrinsically and to Shakespearean scholars, that I may be 
 permitted to describe it somewhat minutely. The title 
 runs: — 'J. J. Starter's Blyeyndich-Truyrspel van Timbre 
 de Cardone ende Fenicie van Messine,' or, in English, 
 ' J. J. Starter's Tragi-comedy of Timbre de Cardone and 
 Fenicie of Messine.' The title-page has an engraving of 
 Gironde pointing out the supposed tomb of Fenicie to 
 Timbre in the church. The imprint states that the play is 
 printed ' for Jan Jensen Starter, Bookseller at the Sign of 
 the English Bible, in Leeuwarden, 161 8, 4to.' There is an 
 interesting prologue, in which Starter refers with modest 
 enthusiasm to his great contemporaries, and deprecates 
 comparison with them." 
 
 It is not in the enormous collection of old Dutch plays at 
 Leyden, the printed catalogue of which forms three volumes 
 octavo. 
 
 29. Lily's Shorte Introduction of Grammar gene- 
 rally to be used, compiled and set forth for the 
 bringing up of all those that intende to attaine the 
 knowledge of the Latine tongue. zLto. Lond. 1568. 
 
 Brown Levant morocco, super extra, blind and gold 
 panelled sides, after the antique, by F. Bedford. 
 
 An impression which is either unique or of very extreme 
 rarity, being unnoticed by all the bibliographers. It is, in 
 all probability, either this edition or that of 1567, also in 
 this collection, which was in use at the Stratford grammar 
 school when Shakespeare was gathering his " little Latin 
 and less Greek " at that establishment. That the great 
 dramatist had imbibed something from this book is clear
 
 i3 
 
 from his quoting a line from Terence in the form in which 
 it is given in this volume, not in that in which it appears in 
 the work of the ancient poet. 
 
 30. Microcosmos, the Discovery of the Little 
 World, with the Government thereof. By John 
 Davies. At Oxford, printed by Ioseph Barnes, and 
 are to bee solde in Pleetestreete at the signe of the 
 Turkes head by Iohn Barnes, 1603. 4-to. 1st 
 edition. 
 
 Old sprinkled calf half extra. 
 
 At p. 215 are the curious allusions to Shakespeare and 
 Burbage, the identification proved by their initials in the 
 margin : — 
 
 " Players I love ye and your qualitie." — W. S. 
 
 " As ye are men that pass in time abus'd. 
 
 "And some I love for painting poesie, etc." — R. B. 
 
 This edition is excessively rare. Dr. Grosart speaks of 
 the Huth copy as being "almost unique." 
 
 31. Poems, written by Wil. Shake-speare gent. 
 Printed at London by Tho. Cotes, and are to be 
 sold by Iohn Benson, dwelling in St. Dunstans 
 Church-yard, 1640. i2mo. 
 
 Red morocco, super extra, full gilt back, panelled sides, 
 broad rich inside borders, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 
 With both title-pages, one being undated, and with 
 Marshall's original engraved portrait of the author, an 
 interesting variation of Droeshout's work. 
 
 t.2. The History of the Two Maids of Moreclacke 
 (Mortlake), with the Life and simple manner of 
 John in the Hospitall. Written by Robert Armin, 
 1609. 
 
 Red straight grained morocco, by Roger Payne. 
 
 The woodcut on the title-page is one of the few pictorial 
 examples that we have of the stage costume of Shake- 
 speare's time. Only four other copies known. 
 
 Armin was one of the actors of the Globe Theatre and a 
 colleague of Shakespeare. 
 
 " The first positive appearance of Armin's name in 
 " connection with the theatre, is in King James' license of
 
 i4 
 
 " 1603, along with Shakespeare's and Burbage's, and the 
 " others." — Dr. Grosart.

 34. The Booke of Honor of Armes, wherein is 
 discoursed the causes of Ouarrell and the nature of

 Olive morocco, super extra, blind and gold panelled sides

 A book, so far as observations on " lies " are concerned, 
 similar to the one mentioned in the next article. 
 
 35. Vincentio Saviolo his Practise. In two 
 Bookes. The first intreating of the use of the 
 Rapier and Dagger. The second, of Honor and 
 honorable Quarrels. 4to. London, printed by John 
 Wolfe, 1595. 
 
 Brown sealskin morocco, super extra, full gilt back, broad 
 rich inside borders, French fiiletted sides, gilt leaves, by F. 
 Bedford. 
 
 This is the work to which Touchstone in As you Like 
 it, Act V., Sc. 4, makes such obvious allusion, his reference 
 being to that division which is headed, " Of the manner 
 " and diversitie of Lies." These are, " Lies certaine ; " 
 " conditional lies ; " " lies in general ; " " lies in particular ; " 
 and " foolish lies." 
 
 It appears that Saviolo was an Italian fencing master, 
 born at Padua, patronised and employed by Lord Essex.

 36. The head of Shakespeare in an oval, 1,655 
 evidently copied from the Droeshout print, only 
 reversed. Under it is a representation on the 
 stage, with the figures of a man and woman, the 
 latter in the act of stabbing herself. Will: Gilbir- 
 son, John Stafford excud. — A modern reproduc- 
 tion of this engraving is sufficiently common, 
 but the present is a very fine specimen of the 
 extremely rare original. Only four other copies 
 known. 
 
 Maroon morocco, half extra, gilt leaves. 
 
 3J . A manuscript of the Return from Parnassus 
 " as it was acted in St. John's Colledge in Cambridge, 
 anno 1602." — 4to. 
 
 Old half calf. 
 
 This is the only manuscript of the time of Elizabeth in 
 a private library in which any of the works of Shakespeare 
 are mentioned. It is of great interest and literary value as 
 the record of a more accurate text than the hitherto only 
 known early copy, the edition of 1606. The title in the 
 manuscript is " The Progresse to Parnassus," the reason for 
 the adoption of either title being obscure. 
 
 I purchased this manuscript at the Townley sale at 
 Sotheby's, June 28th, 1883, Lot 122. My commission for 
 it to Mr. Pearson of Pall Mall was no less than ten guineas, 
 but no one at the sale understood its value, and it was 
 bought for £y i$s. 6d. It is a most valuable contemporary 
 copy probably under what was the original title of the 
 Return from Parnassus, 1601, with very important varia- 
 tions in one of the interesting notices of Shakespeare.

 Curious references to the Globe Theatre and other 
 Shakespearean localities. With the original engraved 
 frontispiece. Exceedingly rare. 
 
 Payne Collier in his Annals, 1879, mentions this 
 pamphlet: — "The author speaks of three famous amphi-
 
 " theatres," the Globe, the Hope, and the Rose, " which 
 " stood so near situated that the eye might take view of 
 " them from the lowest turret." Of the Globe only he 
 remarks that " half the year a world of beauties and brave 
 " spirits resorted unto it," referring to its continued 
 popularity as a theatre devoted to the representation of 
 regular dramatic productions.

 Brown Levant morocco, extra, gilt top. 
 
 This work was first issued in 1600 under the title of 
 Bel-vedere, or the Garden of the Muses ; for some unex- 
 plained reason the Bel-vedere was afterwards dropped. 
 
 The chief collector of the materials for this work was 
 John Bodenham, of whom little more is known than that 
 he also exercised his taste in the selection of the produc- 
 tions contained in England's Helicon, 1600 (Lot 803). 
 They are, however, essentially different ; for England's 
 Helicon consists of entire poems by various authors whose 
 names are given, while Bel-vedere is made up of single 
 
 C 2
 
 i8 
 
 lines and couplets (more being studiously avoided) taken 
 from the works of a long list of poets, whose names are not 
 found in connection with any of the extracts. Bodenham 
 confined himself to productions in ten-syllable verse, for 
 none longer nor shorter are to be found in his volume. In 
 what he calls " the conclusion," which precedes the index, 
 he gives a hint that he was assisted in the undertaking : — 
 " The gentleman who was the cause of this collection 
 " (taking therein no mcane paines him-selfe besides his 
 " friend's labour) could not be pers waded but determinately 
 " aimed at this observation," viz., the rejection of anything 
 that could not be brought into a line or couplet. 
 
 In order to adhere to this plan, if sometimes four 
 consecutive lines presented themselves, forming two com- 
 plete couplets, Bodenham did not scruple absurdly to 
 separate them by lines from a different author. We have 
 a remarkable instance of this practice on pp. 178, 179, 
 where we meet with the following : — 
 
 There's nought so vile that on the earth doth live, 
 But to the earth some speciall good doth give. 
 
 Good is the end that cannot be amended. 
 
 Where good is found we should not quit with ill. 
 There's nought so good, but, stain'd from that faire use, 
 Revolts to vice, and stumbles on abuse. 
 
 The two first and two last lines everybody will recollect 
 in Romeo and Juliet, Act II., Scene 3, and they are 
 consecutive, both in reason and in fact, but it did not suit 
 Bodenham's friends' views so to print them. — Payne 
 Collier's Bibliographical Account of Early English 
 Literature.

 Shakespeare, in his tragedy of Lear, has made Edgar, in 
 his feigned distraction, frequently allude to a vile imposture 
 of some English Jesuits, at that time much the subject of 
 conversation ; the history of it having been just then 
 composed with great art and vigour of style and com- 
 position by Dr. S. Harsnet, afterwards Archbishop of York, 
 bv order of the Privy Council in the above named work. 
 The imposture was in substance this : while the Spaniards 
 were preparing their Armada against England, the Jesuits 
 were here busy at work to promote it by making converts ; 
 one method they employed was to dispossess pretended 
 demoniacks. by which artifice they made several hundred 
 converts among the common people. — Halliwell's folio 
 Shakespeare.

 printed by Thomas Snodham, 1613. — Quarto. 
 
 Purple morocco, gilt leaves, half extra. 
 
 This enumeration of dramas on the incidents of the same 
 reign may be concluded with a notice of the Chronicle His- 
 tory of Thomas Lord Cromwell, which was first published as 
 "written by W.S." in 1602. It had then most likely been 
 recently produced by Shakespeare's company, an entry of 
 the copyright in the August of that year mentioning the 
 play "as yt was lately acted by the Lord Chamberleyn his 
 servantes." An assignment of the copyright was entered 
 in December, 161 1, the second impression, however, not 
 appearing till 1613, the author of the play in both instances 
 being denoted by the above-mentioned initials. The 
 drama of Lord Cromwell was attributed to Shakespeare 
 by the publisher of the third folio in 1664, but it is hardly 
 necessary to observe that it has no pretensions to the claim 
 of so high a distinction. — Outlines, II., 293. 
 
 50. Every Man in his Humor, as it hath beene 
 sundry times publickly acted by the right Honor- 
 able the Lord Chamberlaine his seruants. Written

 Church-yarde, 1601. — Quarto. 
 
 Half brown morocco neat, by F. Bedford. 
 
 One of the most interesting of the recorded events of 
 Shakespeare's life occurred in the present year. In 
 September, 1598, Ben Jonson's famous comedy of Every 
 Man in His Humour was produced by the Lord Chamber- 
 lain's company, and there is every probability that both 
 writer and manager were indebted for its acceptance to the 
 sagacity of the great dramatist who was one of the leading 
 actors on the occasion. — Outlines, I., 170. 
 
 51. Englandes Mourning Garment, worne here 
 by plaine Shepheardes in memorie of their sacred 
 Mistresse Elizabeth, Oueene of Vertue while shee

 21 
 
 to be sold at his shop vnder Saint Peters Church in 
 Cornhil. — Quarto. By Henry Chettle. 
 
 Calf, super extra, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 Of Shakespeare he speaks as follows by the name of 
 Melicert, whom, on sig. B 3, he had already introduced : — 
 
 " Nor doth the silver-tongued Melicert 
 
 Drop from his honied Muse one sable teare 
 To mourne her death that graced his desert, 
 
 And to his laies open'd her royal eare ; 
 Shepheard, remember our Elizabeth, 
 And sing her rape done by that Tarquin Death." 
 
 (Payne Collier's Bibliographical Catalogue.) 
 
 This, the first edition, was issued without a date ; the 
 second edition was published in 1603, also by Millington. 
 
 This copy is perfect, with the exception of the Shep- 
 herd's Spring Song at the end comprising two leaves. 
 One of the British Museum copies is also imperfect at the 
 end, these circumstances leading to the suspicion that it 
 was a separate and later insertion.

 century. — Quarto.

 It includes, amidst a large number of other pieces, verses 
 of " Shakespeare on the King " ; lines on persons buried

 " T. P. was Thomas Pavier, the publisher of other plays ; 
 but it is scarcely necessary to observe that the wording of 
 the title-page is of no value in the determination of the

 There is no date in the original, but it was printed 
 in 1619.

 Almost simultaneously with the contemplated publica- 
 tion of the admirable tragedy last mentioned (Antony and 
 Cleopatra), an insignificant piece, of some little merit but 
 no dramatic power, entitled the Yorkshire Tragedy, was 
 dishonestly introduced to the public as having been 
 "written by William Shakespeare." — Outlines, I., 223.

 Ouarto. 
 
 Half brown morocco neat, by F. Bedford. 
 
 This entertaining comedy is mentioned in the Blacke 
 Booke, 1604, and was entered at Stationers' Hall in 
 October, 1607, to Arthur Johnson, who published it in the 
 following year, 1608, under the title of, The Merry Devil 
 of Edmonton, as it hath beene sundry times acted by his 
 Majesties Servants at the Globe on the Banke-side ; that 
 is, by Shakespeare's company. The copyright of what 
 appears to have been a rival and lost drama on the same 
 history was claimed by other publishers in April, 1608, 
 and was attributed by them to the pen of one T. B. In 
 this latter play the death of Fabel was introduced, while 
 the enumeration of the other incidents forbids us to suppose 
 that it could be a continuation of the former production. 
 The earliest attribution of a piece on this subject to the 
 great dramatist is found in the registers of the Stationers' 
 Company under the date of September, 1653, when a 
 publisher named Moseley inserted, " The Merry Devile of 
 Edmonton by Wm, Shakespeare," in an entry which 
 includes palpable misrepresentations respecting the author- 
 ship of other compositions. The evidence of Moseley is 
 clearly not reliable, but there appears to have been a vague 
 idea, in the latter part of the seventeenth century, that the 
 play might have been written by Shakespeare. It is 
 attributed to him in an early manuscript note in a copy 
 of the edition of 1655, and also by a bookseller named 
 Kirkman in 1671. Langbaine, ed. 1691, p. 541, judiciously 
 discredits the last-mentioned authority. — Outlines, II., 415. 
 
 58. The Malcontent, augmented by Marston.

 " correction." 
 
 There is also a notice of Justice Shallow. 
 
 " The proximity of the Hope, while yet a bear-garden, 
 " to the Rose is to be gathered from the following ironical 
 " passage in Dekker's Satiromastrix, 1602, in allusion to 
 " it: — 'Thou hadst a breath as sweet as the Rose — that 
 " grows by the bear-garden.' " — Payne Collier.

 The well-known allusions to Shakespeare occur at sig. 
 B 2 and sig. G 2. In this impression the word lazy is 
 omitted in the verses on his poems. The following con- 
 temporary manuscript note occurs upon the title-page, — 
 "to my lovinge Smallocke, J.D." 
 
 " A character named Ingenioso, a University student,

 A singularly curious account of an accident that hap-

 Purple morocco, half extra. 
 
 Of extreme rarity, and probably unique in this fine 
 perfect state. Either this or the next year's edition, copies 
 of both of which are in this collection, was most likely the 
 one in use at the Stratford school in the poet's boyhood. 
 
 This edition is not mentioned in Herbert or Ames. 
 
 See No. 29 for the copy of the edition of 1 568. 
 
 75. Remains of a Greater Worke concerning 
 Britaine, the inhabitants thereof, their Languages, 
 Names, Surnames, Empreses, Wise Speeches, 
 Poesies and Epitaphes. At London, printed by 
 G. E. for Simon Waterson. 1605. — 4to. 
 
 Red Levant morocco, half extra. 
 
 This work contains one of the very few contemporary 
 notices of Shakespeare : — 
 
 " These may suffice for some poeticall descriptions of 
 " our auncient poets ; if I would come to our time, what 
 " a world could I present to you out of Sir Philipp Sidney, 
 " Ed Spencer, Samuel Daniel, Hugh Holland, Ben Johnson, 
 " Th Campion, Mich. Drayton George Chapman, John 
 " Marston, William Shakespeare and other most pregnant 
 " witts of these our times, whom succeeding ages justly 
 " admire." 
 
 76. The cover of an old book containing lines 
 from the Lover's Complaint and the Passionate 
 Pilgrim in a hand-writing of the time of Charles 
 the First. i2mo. 
 
 Brown morocco, half extra. 
 
 yy. The History of Titus Andronicus, the re- 
 nowned Roman General, who, after he had saved 
 Rome by his Valour from being destroyed by the 
 barbarous Goths, and lost two-and-twenty of his 
 valiant sons in ten Years War, was, upon the 
 Emperor's marrying the Queen of the Goths, put
 
 to Disgrace and banish'd ; but being recall'd, the 
 Emperor's Son by a First Wife was murder'd by 
 the Empress's Sons and a bloody Moor, and how, 
 charging it upon Andronicus's sons, tho' he cut off 
 his hand to redeem their lives, they were murder'd 
 in Prison. How his fair daughter Lavinia, being 
 ravish'd by the Empress's Sons, they cut out her 
 Tongue and Hands off, &c. How Andronicus slew 
 them, made Pyes of their Flesh, and presented 
 them to the Emperor and Empress ; and then slew 
 them also. With the miserable Death he put the 
 wicked Moor to ; then, at her Request, slew his 
 Daughter and himself to avoid Torments. Newly 
 translated from the Italian copy printed at Rome. 
 London, printed and sold by C. Dicey in Bow 
 Church-yard, and at his wholesale Warehouse in 
 Northampton. 
 
 Brown Levant morocco, super extra, gilt leaves, by 
 F. Bedford. 
 
 Of singular rarity. It is probably a chap-book version 
 of the prose tale of Titus Andronicus, which was popular 
 in Shakespeare's time, but of which no copy is now known 
 to exist. 
 
 y8. The original memorandum book of Thomas 
 Sharp, the clock-maker of Stratford-on-Avon, who 
 purchased the wood of Shakespeare's mulberry-tree 
 when it was cut down in the middle of the last 
 century. This manuscript came afterwards into the 
 hands of Sharp's only surviving assistant, Thomas 
 Gibbs, whose note at p. 186 shows how he came 
 into the possession of some pieces of the mulberry- 
 wood, the few remaining portions of which were 
 purchased by me at the sale of his effects in the 
 year 1866. i2tno. 
 
 Brown morocco, super extra, by F. Bedford. 
 
 79. A small piece of the wood of Shakespeare's 
 mulberry-tree, interesting as being an unworked
 
 3i 
 
 fragment as it must have originally appeared, nearly 
 all the bark still remaining. This is one of the few 
 bits of the wood that are mentioned in the preceding 
 article as having been in the possession of Thomas 
 Gibbs at the time of his decease. He died in 1866, 
 aged 84. 
 
 80. A small tea-caddy, one of the best specimens 
 extant of Sharp's carved-work from the wood of 
 the poet's mulberry-tree, with the original stamped 
 note, — " Shakespear's Wood, Sharp, Stratford-on- 
 Avon." Sharp purchased the wood about the year 
 1 759, and traded in relics made from it until his 
 death in 1799, but the present specimen has every 
 appearance of belonging to one of the earlier years 
 of that period. Five inches long, 3^ wide, 4 deep. 
 
 81. An interesting account of Shakespeare's 
 Birth-Place written by the late F. W. Fairholt 
 immediately after his first visit to the spot in the 
 year 1839. It is wholly in his autograph and

 84. The Conquest of Granada by the Spaniards, 
 in two Parts ; acted at the Theater Royall. Written 
 by John Dryden, Servant to Flis Majesty. In the 
 Savoy. 1672. — 4to. 
 
 Purple morocco, half extra, gilt top. 
 
 Contains the traditional account of Shakespeare's treat- 
 ment of the character of Mercutio and various other notices 
 of the great dramatist. 
 
 " An interesting tradition respecting one of the characters 
 " in this tragedy (Romeo and Juliet) is recorded in 1672 
 " by Dryden, who observes that the great dramatist ' showed 
 " ' the best of his skill in Mercutio, and he said himself that 
 " ' he was forced to kill him in the third act, to prevent being 
 " killed by him.' The eminent narrator of this little anecdote 
 " ingenuously adds — ' but, for my part, I cannot find he was 
 " 'so dangerous a person ; I see nothing in him but what 
 " ' was so exceedingly harmless that he might have lived 
 " ' to the end of the play, and died in his bed, without 
 " ' offence to any man.' " — Outlines, I., 129. 
 
 85. Titus Andronicus, or the Rape of Lavinia. 
 Acted at the Theatre Royall. A Tragedy alter'd 
 from Mr. Shakespears Works by Mr. Edw. Ravens- 
 croft. London. 1687. — 4to. 
 
 Dark blue Levant morocco, neat, gilt leaves, by F. 
 Bedford. 
 
 The address to the reader contains the assumed tradi- 
 tional notice of the original authorship. 
 
 " When the work was published in 1687 the adapter 
 " makes this curious statement : — 
 
 " I think it a greater theft to rob the dead of their 
 " praise, then the living of their money. That I may not 
 " appear guilty of such a crime, 'tis necessary that I should 
 " acquaint you that there is a play in Mr. Shakespear's 
 " volume under the name of Titus Andronicus from whence
 
 ■J 1 
 
 '' I drew part of this. I have been told by some anciently 
 " conversant with the stage, that it was not originally his, 
 " but brought by a private Author to be acted, and he only 
 " gave some master-touches to one or two of the principal 
 " parts or characters : this I am apt to believe, because 'tis 
 " the most incorrect and indigested piece in all his works. 
 " It seems rather a heap of rubbish then a structure," the 
 words his and he referring to the Great Dramatist. 
 " Ravenscroft adds that the original prologue had then 
 " been lost, but Langbaine, who has preserved the 
 " lines above quoted in his Account of the English 
 " Dramatick, 1691, p. 465, seems to question the truth of 
 " that assertion, plainly holding the opinion that the 
 " former writer was not distinguished for his literary 
 " integrity. However that may be, it is clear that so 
 " late a tradition respecting the authorship of the earlier 
 " play cannot fairly be held to outweigh the decisive 
 " testimonies of Shakespeare's own contemporaries." — 
 Outlines, II., 262. 
 
 86. The Orator, handling a hundred seuerall 
 Discourses in forme of Declamations ; some of 
 the Arguments being drawne from Titus Livius 
 and other ancient Writers, the rest of the Authors 
 owne inuention ; part of which are of matters 
 happened in our Age. Written in French by 
 Alexander Siluayn, and Englished by L. P. London,

 other half straight grained morocco neat. 
 
 These editions differ materially from each other, but 
 they both contain the interesting notice of the performance 
 of the drama at the Blackfriars. The later issues follow, 
 I believe, the second of these editions. 
 
 Dryden gives us two interesting pieces of information 
 respecting the comedy of the Tempest, — the first, that it 
 was acted at the Blackfriar's Theatre ; the second, that it 
 was successful. His words are, — " the play itself had 
 formerly been acted with success in the Black- Fryers." 
 Preface to the Tempest or the Enchanted Island, A. D. 1670. 
 This probably means that the comedy was originally 
 produced at the Blackfriar's Theatre after the Children had 
 left that establishment, and it is alluded to in a list of 
 " some of the most ancient playes that were play'd at 
 Blackfriers," a manuscript dated in December 1660. It 
 is not at all improbable that the conspicuous position 
 assigned to this comedy in the first folio is a testimony to 
 its popularity, for that situation is unquestionably no 
 evidence of its place in the chronological order. — Outlines, 
 II., 309. 
 
 89. The Comical Gallant, or the Amours of 
 Sir John Falstaffe, a Comedy, as it is Acted at the 
 Theatre Royal in Drury-lane by his Majesty's

 Warwick-lane, 1702. — 4to. 
 
 Half blue morocco, gilt leaves, neat, by F. Bedford. 
 
 With a dedication in which there is the earliest traditional 
 account of the causes which led to the composition of the 
 Merry Wives of Windsor. 
 
 A copy of a scarce alteration of the Merry Wives of 
 Windsor, seldom found in good condition. The author of 
 this variation, John Dennis, is the first narrator, in the 
 Dedication to it, of the tradition of the Merry Wives of 
 Windsor having been written by Shakespeare at the 
 request of Queen Elizabeth. " This comedy," he observes, 
 " was written at her command, and by her direction, and 
 she was so eager to see it acted that she commanded it
 
 35 
 
 to be finished in fourteen days ; and was afterwards, as 
 tradition tells us, very well pleas'd at the representation." 
 —J. O. Halliwell. 1866.

 To thee compar'd our English Poets all stop,

 With the autograph and manuscript notes of Gabriel 
 Harvey, the former being on the title-page of the second

 foundation story of the Merry Wives of Windsor, a proof 
 that one copy at all events of this book had found its way 
 into England in Shakespeare's time.

 with the fair Fawnia, &c. London, printed for J. 
 Blare at the Looking-glass on London Bridge.

 A facsimile tracing made by E. W. Ashbee from the 
 original printed copy preserved in the Capell collection. 
 
 With the exception of two sonnets and a few verses 
 taken from the already published comedy of Love's Labour 
 Lost, Jaggard's collection does not include a single line that 
 can be positively ascribed to the pen of the great dramatist, 
 but much that has been ascertained to have been the 
 composition of others. The entire publication bears 
 evident marks of an attempted fraud, and it may well be 
 doubted if any of its untraced contents, with perhaps three 
 exceptions, justify the announcement of the title-page. —

 A beautiful copy with the original rly leaves. This work 
 enters into the early Shakespearean series by the notice 
 pages, 18, 19, of the interlude of Macbeth performed before 
 James 1st, at Oxford, in 1605, and which is conjectured by 
 some critics, I think very improbably, to have suggested 
 the subject to the great dramatist. The leaf from Ver- 
 tumnus at the end contains a fuller account of the Oxford 
 performance.

 The following is a copy of a paragraph which appeared 
 in " Notes and Queries " relating to the above : — " The 
 Probate of Shakespeare's Will. The Rev. Thomas Green, 
 of Stratford-on-Avon, found there in 1747 a copy of 
 Shakespeare's Will, and his transcript of that copy is 
 amongst the Lansdowne MSS. In my collection at 
 Hollingbury Copse there is an earlier copy of the Will in 
 exactly the same form ; the latter is, I believe, the earliest 
 copy out of Somerset House known to exist. It is headed 
 ' E. registro Curiae Prerogative Cant. Extract.' Then 
 follows a complete copy of the Will. At the end, after the 
 Probate close, is the following note : — ' Concordat, cum 
 registro, facta collacione per me Gilbertum Rothwell 
 Notarium Publicum." Will you kindly allow me to 
 enquire if this is a transcript of the original Probate, or 
 merely that of an office copy ? When did Rothwell 
 live ? He was no doubt one of the officials of the pre- 
 rogative Court.— j. O. H. P."

 My old friend Mr. J. G. Waller, F.SA., who has care- 
 fully studied this play with the intention of reprinting it, 
 tells me of its excessive rarity, even in Italy, and of his 
 belief from a number of very close parallels that Shake- 
 speare was acquainted with it in some way or other when 
 writing Romeo and Juliet. If so, it was probably used by 
 the author of some earlier English play on the subject, the 
 latter being the one familiar to Shakespeare. — J. O. H. P., 
 June, 1882.

 " The ancient title deeds of New Place, which form so 
 distinguished a feature of the present collection, were 
 discovered in 1886 by Mr. Richard Sims, of the British 
 Museum, in the private archives of Wallop Hall, county 
 Salop. The discovery of these indentures has added little 
 or nothing of moment to our previous knowledge of the 
 history of the estate, but they are inestimable as personal 
 relics of the great dramatist. Ancient deeds are almost 
 the only articles that, with proper care, maintain their 
 precise original condition for indefinite periods." —

 In the Preface to a facsimile edition of this deed, issued 
 in 1884 (of which fifty copies only were preserved), Mr. 
 Halliwell-Phillipps wrote : —   
 
 " Early documents illustrative of the life of Shakespeare 
 are of the highest degree of rarity. By far the largest 
 and most important collection of them in private hands is 
 that at Hollingbury Copse, the quaint bungalow on the 
 Brighton Downs, which has the honour of sheltering, 
 amongst others, the valuable relic here given in facsimile. 
 It is the conveyance deed of the Metropolitan property 
 which Shakespeare bought in the year 161 3, and is of 
 indubitable authenticity, having the official endorsement 
 made in Chancery when the indenture was enrolled in that 
 Court shortly after the purchase. This deed of convey- 
 ance was formerly one of the leading treasures of the 
 Sainsbury collection of manuscripts and autographs. It 
 was put up to auction in London about thirty years ago, 
 but the reserved price (a very large one) was not attained. 
 After the owner's death it was again submitted to public
 
 53 
 
 competition, and was then bought for the late Sir William 
 Tite, M.P., a gentleman of large wealth, who had given an 
 unlimited commission for it. It remained in Sir William's 
 possession for several years, and until, at my urgent 
 solicitation, he very kindly and generously transferred the 
 purchase to me. The day on which I exchanged my 
 cheque for the old indenture — December the 20th, 1872 — 
 is an epoch in my Shakespearean life. 
 
 149. The original deed transferring the legal 
 estate of the house last-mentioned, 10 February, 
 161 7-8, in trust to follow the directions of Shake- 
 speare's will, subject only to the remaining term 
 of a lease granted by the poet to one John 
 Robinson.

 150. An original deed of conveyance granted 
 by the Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare's friend 
 and patron, with a fine specimen of his autograph 
 signature. 
 
 In a glazed case. 
 
 It refers to property at Romsey, near Southampton, and 
 it was executed by the earl in the year 1603, a few weeks 
 after his release from his imprisonment in the Tower of 
 London. 
 
 151. An inscribed pane of glass presumed to have 
 been in one of the windows of New Place during 
 the life-time of the poet. 
 
 So much deception has been practised in advancing the 
 claims of Shakespearean relics that it is impossible to be 
 too cautious in investigating the testimonies by which 
 those claims are supported. All that is known respecting 
 the present one may thus be briefly stated. It was thus 
 first publicly mentioned in Fairholt's Home of Shakespeare, 
 1847, p. 27, — "there is an apparently genuine relic of New 
 Place at present (1847) in the possession of the Court
 
 55 
 
 family who own Shakespeare's house. It is a square of 
 glass, measuring nine inches by seven, in which a circular 
 piece is leaded, having the letters W. A. S. for William 
 and Anne Shakespeare, tied in a true lover's knot, and the 
 date, 1615, the year before the poet's death, beneath. A 
 relative of the late Mrs. Court, whose ancestor had been 
 employed to pull down New Place, had saved this square 
 of glass, but attached little value to it. He gave it to her, 
 but she had an honest dislike to the many pretenders to 
 relics, and never showed this glass unless it was expressly 
 requested by the few who had heard of it. She told her 
 story simply, made no comments, and urged no belief. 
 The letters and figures are certainly characteristic ; they 
 are painted in dark brown outline, tinted with yellow ; the 
 border is also yellow. The lead is decayed, and the glass 
 loose." The late Mr. Fairholt, one of the best judges in 
 such matters that ever lived, was of a decided opinion that 
 the glass is a genuine work of art of the Shakespearean 
 period. If so, it may be taken for granted that it is an 
 authentic Statford relic, for it is incredible that any one 
 should have pounced elsewhere upon a glass with the three 
 desirable initials, brought it from a distance into the town, 
 and then invented a New Place story without a commercial 
 or any other sort of intelligible object. But how came the 
 piece of glass to be in the possession of the tenant of the 
 Birth-Place ? An explanation has recently presented itself 
 in a passage in a manuscript compiled in the year 1796, 
 and now in the Bodleian (MS. Malone 40); the writer, 
 after mentioning the Clopton painted glass, which, as is 
 well known, was taken by Shakespeare Hart from the 
 Chapel (amongst other refuse from alterations that had 
 been ordered in that building) and inserted in a window of 
 the Birth-Place, says, — " there are several more scraps of 
 painted glass dispersed in other windows of the said 
 premises." Now when New Place was pulled down in the 
 year 1701, Shakespeare Hart was at all events the leading, 
 if not the only, glazier in the town, and it is most likely, if 
 the New Place glass is correctly so designated, that it had 
 been inserted by him in a Birth-Place window, remaining 
 there till 1796, getting afterwards into Mrs. Court's hands 
 through some alterations or repairs in the window in 
 which it had been placed, a more likely hypothesis than 
 her statement as recorded by Fairholt and perhaps mis- 
 understood bv him. There is thus somewhat more than a
 
 56 
 
 possibility of its genuineness as a Shakespearean relic, but 
 it is unlikely that evidence leading to a decisive opinion 
 will now ever be accessible. Unless, however, its genuine- 
 ness as a work of art of the year 1615 be disputed, — and 
 no suspicion in this direction has yet transpired, — even 
 the few known details of its history appear to be explicable 
 only on the assumption that it is a genuine relic of William 
 Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway. 
 
 152. An original trust-deed with the signature 
 of Shakespeare Hart, great-grandson of the poet's 
 sister. 
 
 In glazed case. He spells his name mos oddly — 
 Shaxpeer Hart — a curious evidence of the local pronuncia- 
 tion of the first name. There are several examples of his 
 signature at Stratford-on-Avon, but this is nearly the only 
 one in private hands. 
 
 153. An original deed of 1578, with the extremely 
 rare signature of Shakespeare s schoolmaster, Walter 
 Roche.

 This rare little volume enters into the Shakespearean

 A later edition of the work, originally published in 1592, 
 which contains the singular and first distinct notice of 
 Shakespeare in printed literature. 
 
 " Robert Greene, a popular writer and dramatist, who 
 " had commenced his literary career nine years previously, 
 " died on the 3rd of September, 1592. In a work entitled 
 " the Groatsworth of Wit, written shortly before his death, 
 " he had travestied, in an interesting sarcastic episode 
 ' respecting some of his contemporaries, a line from one of 
 " Shakespeare's then recent compositions, ' O, tiger's heart, 
 " ' wrapp'd in a woman's hide.' This line is of extreme 
 " interest as including the earliest record of words com- 
 " posed by the great dramatist." — Outlines, I., 98. 
 
 The line is thus introduced : — 
 
 " Yes, trust them not for there is an upstart crow, 
 " beautified with our feathers, that, with his Tyger's heart 
 " wrapt in a Players hide, supposes he is able well to 
 " bumbast out a blanke verse as the best of you ; and 
 " being an absolute Johannes Factotum, is in his owne 
 " conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrie."

 A long view of London from Whitehall to Rotherhithe, 
 showing the Globe and the other theatres. This is the 
 second edition of Visscher's celebrated view, undated but 
 published about the year 1625. No other copy known. 
 
 In the preface to a facsimile edition, with a very limited 
 issue, of a portion of this view, published in June, 1884, 
 Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps relates in an amusing way the 
 manner in which he became possessed of this treasure, as 
 follows : — 
 
 Upon a very sultry day, many years ago, happening to 
 be in the anomalistic condition of having nothing whatever 
 to do and paying exclusive attention to the job, I was 
 sauntering along the heated pavements of London in the 
 neighbourhood of Leicester Square. The chief recreation 
 of the morning had consisted in witnessing a representation 
 of Punch and Judy, a good performance of which has ever 
 been to me a source of irresistible attraction ; but a greater 
 incident was at hand, one which has fixed the history of 
 the day in indelible memory. I even ventured to mark it 
 with a white stone, notwithstanding my recollection of
 
 6o 
 
 Sancho Panza's sagacious advice to be as a rule contented 
 with an impression evolved from " good brown ochre." 
 
 There was no necessity for restricting display in the 
 proclamation of triumph. Reaching a house in an adjoin- 
 ing street, a carpet was hanging over the first floor balcony, 
 and there were bills in the window announcing a coming 
 sale, not only of furniture, but of pictures and curiosities. 
 Here was a welcome oasis in the lonesome desert of 
 idleness. There would have been a relief elicited by the 
 inspection had all the articles been worthless. But there 
 was a jewel in the dustheap. In the midst of a collection 
 of the veriest rubbish was an engraved view of Old London 
 in a black frame, the whole measuring about eight feet in 
 length. Although it was begrimed and covered with dust, 
 it required no great penetration in a lover of old engravings 
 to see that it was in all probability a valuable relic. And 
 so it turned out to be when the dirt and some old varnish 
 had been removed. It was not only an original early work 
 by Visscher, executed about the year 1625, but an unique 
 edition, differing from all the other known engravings of 
 London by the same artist. The saleroom was filled with 
 furniture dealers ; there was no one who appeared to take 
 the smallest interest in the lot, and the hammer fell to me 
 at fifteen shillings. This was a high price as things went, 
 but in those days I was fool enough to be a bit of a dandy, 
 and the unwashed company were probably disinclined to 
 allow a " swell " to march off with anything for the nominal 
 value of the frame.

 so greatly resembles that of Twelfth Night. 
 
 Dark red morocco, extra, gilt leaves. 
 
 " And that it was on the model of this play, and not on 
 " any of the Ingannis, that Shakespeare formed the plan

 Twelve Night, or what you will, much like the Commedy 
 of Errores, or Menechmi in Plautus, but most like and

 There is no evidence that Shakespeare ever saw this

 its publication was suggested through the popularity of the 
 Comedy of Errors. Wants the last leaf. Only two other

 " Elze, whose opinions are always entitled to a respectful

 ' 'jecture, is to be found in Marlowe's Jew of Malta, without 
 ' 'which, in all probability, the Merchant of Venice would 
 ' ' never have been written.' Elze is not to be understood

 Half roan neat. 
 
 This tract goes into the Shakespearean series from the 
 exceedingly curious notice of Venus and Adonis on page 
 17. This is the first and a very rare edition. The colla- 
 tion agrees with that given by Hazlitt in his new book, 
 ] 867, page 516. It was entered at the Stationers' register 
 in May, 1622, a conclusive proof that the date of 1621 
 given in some lists is erroneous. 
 
 It has a passage containing an unquoted notice of two 
 remarkable publications — Shakespeare's " Venus and 
 Adonis"and "Peele's Jests," both of which the author accuses 
 the confessor of the nunnery of reading. Shakespeare's 
 exquisite poem is spoken of as an " idle pamphlet " : — 
 
 '■'•And when he is merrily disposed (as that is not seldom) then 
 must his darting Kate Knightly play him a merry fit, and sister 
 Mary Brooke, or some other of his late-come wags, must sing him 
 one bandy song or other to digest his meat. Then after supper it is 
 usual for him to reade a little of '' Venus and Adonis' the ''Jests 
 of George Peele,' or some other scurrilous booke ; for there are few 
 idle pamphlets printed in England which he hath not in the house."

 tion of this book gives 48 leaves. My copy, formerly 
 Narcissus Luttrill's and afterwards Heber's, contains 52 
 leaves, and as it includes "A dialogue betwixt Nature and 
 Time," consisting of 8 pages, the latter not being in 
 Malone's copy, hence most probably arises the discrepancy. 
 The signatures to this dialogue run from b 3 to b 6, and 
 are placed between B 2 (misprinted C 2) and B 3. Colla-

 This very curious and scarce poem, brim full of quaint 
 conceits, deserves to be better known. The title and the 
 odd way of printing are against it, but the persevering 
 author the next year issued it under a new title, " Vice's 
 Anatomie scourged and corrected in new Satires." At 
 p. 46 is the following curious notice of the representation 
 of Antony and Cleopatra on the stage : — 
 
 Why doe our lustfull theaters entice, 
 And personate in lively action, vice ? 
 
 *r* 'ff v|c ^ 
 
 There shall they see the vices of the times, 
 Orestes incest, Cleopatres crimes. 
 
 It is also clear from the context that Shakespeare's play 
 of the Comedy of Errors is alluded to. — Halliwell, 1866. 
 
 192. A Collection of Poems, being all the Mis- 
 cellanies of Mr. William Shakespeare. London, 
 printed for Bernard Lintott. This edition was pub- 
 lished in 1709.

 An interesting and unique copy, with Dr. Farmer's 
 manuscript notes, collations, and cuttings from contem- 
 porary newspapers. In a preliminary note is the curious

 194. An indenture, 20 February, 18 James I., 
 1 62 1, between the Urles and Sandells of Shottery, 
 one of the latter being Fulke, the son, I believe, of 
 Shakespeare's marriage-bondsman. 
 
 Witnessed, amongst others, by Edmund Hathaway, a 
 marksman. 
 
 195. A conveyance of 9 September, 1692, from 
 Susanna Hathaway, spinster, grand-daughter of 
 Thomas Hathaway, heretofore of Stratford-on- 
 Avon, joiner, to Richard Wilson of St. Giles's, 
 Cripplegate, of the house in Chapel Street that 
 belonged to the relatives of Shakespeare's Anne 
 Hathaway. 
 
 The original, with the vendor's signature. The " land 
 now or heretofore of Mr. Hall," that is, the New Place 
 Great Garden, is mentioned as one of the boundaries. 
 
 196. A black-letter fragment of the Hundred 
 
 Mery Talys, a book of stories mentioned by 
 
 Shakespeare. 
 
 It is part only of the curious anecdote of John-a- 
 Droyns. 
 
 197. A copy of verses by R. P. Jodrell on the 
 mulberry-tree planted by Shakespeare and cut down 
 by the Rev. Francis Gastrell.

 of the Peace of Middlesex respecting the Black- 
 friars Theatre, 20 November, 1633, a report on 
 the value of the property, its tenure by the 
 Burbages, &c. 
 
 This interesting document, first noticed in Collier's New 
 Facts, 1835, p. 27, has been pronounced a forgery without 
 the shadow of a reason. It is, in my opinion, of unques-
 
 7* 
 
 tionable authenticity, and T will back that opinion with the 
 observation that should the officials of the British Museum 
 and our national Record office collectively arrive at a 
 different conclusion, I will cheerfully give fifty guineas to 
 the funds of any charity that they may do me the favour 
 to indicate.

 on-Avon ; and of Ouiney's letter to Shakespeare, 
 October, 1598.

 73 
 
 preface to Shakespeare's Poems, 1640 ; notice of 
 Shakespeare from the last leaf of Hey wood's 
 Apology for Actors, 161 2. 
 
 The Puritaine was licensed by Sir George Buck, entered 
 by Eld at Stationers' Hall in August, 1607, as " a booke 
 called the comedie of the Puritan Wydowe," and issued by 
 that printer in the same year under the title of, The 
 Puritaine or the Widdow of Watling-streete ; acted by the 
 Children of Paules ; written by W. S. This play is 
 attributed to Shakespeare in the third folio of 1664, as 
 also by Winstanley in 1687 and by several later writers. 
 — Outlines, II., 416. 
 
 212. A plan of Oxford, c. 1640. 
 
 213. A deed respecting the Hathaway house in 
 Chapel Street, Stratford-on-Avon, 20 March, 1696, 
 The New Place boundary mentioned. Signed by 
 Susanna Hathaway. 
 
 214. An indenture, 30 April, 8 James I., 16 10, 
 respecting land at Shottery. Witnessed by Francis 
 Collins, the poet's friend and solicitor. — Another

 of Collins's signature. 
 
 215. A Mappe of Penbrokeshire, Glamorgan- 
 shire, Monmouthshire, Glostershire, Somersetshire, 
 Dorsetshire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, part of 
 Wiltshire, etc. 
 
 An edition of Hollar's map of 1644, with the roads 
 inserted by a later hand, the earliest, I believe, in which 
 there is a delineation of the road to Barnstaple, a town 
 visited by Shakespeare's company in 1605. 
 
 216. An early, perhaps the earliest, title-page in 
 which a quotation from Shakespeare is introduced, 
 that of Pendragon or the Carpet Knight his 
 Kalendar, 1698 ; a biographical notice of Shake- 
 speare from an Historical Dictionary of England 
 and Wales, 1692 ; Shakespearean scraps from Har- 
 ington's Ariosto, 1 59 1, and Davenant's Works,
 
 74 
 
 1673 ; the dimensions of Stratford-on-Avon Church, 
 a paper by the Rev. Joseph Greene, c. 1762 ; 
 Shakespearean notices in a list of books printed for 
 Thomas Bennet, 1697, and in the induction to Bar- 
 tholomew Fair. 
 
 217. An attestation from a deed of the year 1555, 
 relating to a messuage in the village of Packwood, 
 co. Warwick, one Christofer Shaxspere being one of 
 the witnesses. 
 
 218. A deed of 1647 respecting the Hathaway 
 house in Chapel Street, Stratford-on-Avon. The 
 original indenture signed by the Lanes. 
 
 Nos. 219 and 220 are in a large folio volume, lettered 
 " The Proof Engraving of Droeshout's 
 Portrait of Shakespeare, 1623," and bound 
 like the previous volume. 
 
 219. The engraved portrait of Shakespeare by 
 Droeshout on a copy of the title-page of the second 
 folio edition of the poet's works, 1632. 
 
 This is one of the only four impressions known of the 
 title-page of the edition of 1632 before the spelling of the 
 word coppies was altered, a circumstance which, although 
 apparently trivial, is of value as showing that it includes 
 one of the earliest impressions from the plate after it had 
 been used for the first folio. 
 
 220. The engraved head of Shakespeare on the 
 title-page of the first collective edition of his plays, 
 1623, Martin Droeshout sculpsit, London. 
 
 The original engraving by Droeshout before it was 
 altered by an inferior hand ; of extreme rarity, and the 
 earliest engraved portrait of Shakespeare in existence. 
 
 The following observations upon this proof-engraving 
 are from the pen of the late F. W. Fairholt, F.S.A. :--" The 
 portrait in this state of the engraving is remarkable for 
 clearness of tone ; the shadows being very delicately 
 rendered, so that the light falls upon the muscles of the 
 face with a softness not to be found in the ordinary im- 
 pressions. This is particularly visible in the arch undc
 
 /D 
 
 the eye, and in the muscles of the mouth ; the expression 
 of the latter is much altered in the later states of the plate 
 by the enlargement of the up-turned moustache, which 
 hides and destroys the true character of this part of the 
 face. The whole of the shadows have been darkened by 
 cross-hatching and coarse dotting, particularly on the chin ; 
 this gives a coarse and undue prominence to some parts of 
 the portrait, the forehead particularly. In this early state 
 of the plate the hair is darker than any of the shadows on 
 the head, and flows softly and naturally ; in the retouched 
 plate the shadow is much darker than the roots of the 
 hair, imparting a swelled look to the head and giving the 
 hair the appearance of a raised wig. It is remarkable that 
 no shadow falls across the collar ; this omission, and the 
 general low tone of colour in the engraving, may have 
 induced the retouching and strengthening which has 
 injured the true character of the likeness, which, in its 
 original state, is far more worthy of Ben Jonson's com- 
 mendatory lines." — The late Mr. William Smith, Director 
 of the National Portrait Gallery, whose knowledge of early 
 engraving was unrivalled, thus wrote to me in reference to 
 a suggestion that the variations were caused by an accident 
 to the plate, — " I was unwilling to answer your note until 
 I had made another careful examination of your engraving, 
 as well as of the very fine impression in the usual state 
 which we have recently purchased for the National Por- 
 trait Gallery. This I have now done, and I can find no 
 traces of any damage whatever. I fully believe that, on 
 what is technically termed proving the plate, it was 
 thought that much of the work was so delicate as not 
 to allow of a sufficient number of impressions being 
 printed. Droeshout might probably have refused to spoil 
 his work, and it was retouched by an inferior and coarser 
 engraver," 
 
 Nos. 221 to 228 are in a large folio volume of 
 similar size, lettered " Documents relating 
 to Stratford-on-Avon," and bound like the 
 two previous volumes. 
 
 221. A rough ground-plan on vellum of the 
 College at Stratford-on-Avon, with the adjoining
 
 7 6 
 
 roads, made very early in the sixteenth century. 
 The site of the tyth bainie is shown. 
 
 This is by far the earliest plan of any part of the town 
 that is known to exist. 
 
 222. A presentment made att a leete there (Stret- 
 ford Burgus) holden the vij.° daye of Aprill, anno 
 xxxiij. Elizabeth regine, 1 591 . 
 
 This very curious perambulation of the borough of 
 Stratford is quoted in the sixth chapter of Knight's 
 Biography of Shakspere as being then, 1843, in the posses- 
 sion of Mr. R. B. Wheler, but there is a mistake in thinking 
 that the old boundary elm, a sketch of which is given in 
 that work and which was cut down in 1847, was the 
 identical tree mentioned in the present document. It 
 stood, however, on the same site, that is to say, on the 
 bank between the turnpike road and the foot-path to 
 Birmingham, just beyond the lane to Clopton. 
 
 223. A grant from James de Clopton to Walter 
 de Cokefeld of a messuage and lands at Clopton and 
 in la Grave. 
 
 A deed of the time of Henry III. One of the witnesses 
 is noted as Richard de Peyto, showing at how early a 
 period the surname of Peto was known in the neighbour- 
 hood of Stratford-on-Avon. 
 
 224. A grant from Peter de Montefort to Isabel, 
 daughter of Stephen Norton, clericus, and Edmund 
 de Middeltone, her son, of a messuage and lands 
 within the manor of Clopton, temp. Hen. III. 
 
 The boundaries, which are given with unusual minute- 
 ness, including notices (with the names) of upwards of 
 thirty fields or common-lands, go far to prove, in con- 
 junction with the memorandum of 16 14 respecting Shake- 
 speare's outlying property, that the poet held nothing at 
 Clopton. 
 
 225. A lease with the autograph of Richard Hyll, 
 the woollen-draper, penned a few months before his 
 death in 1593. 
 
 This individual, whose singular metrical epitaph is yet
 
 17 
 
 to be seen in Stratford Church, was intimately acquainted 
 with the poet's family, having been bail for his father in 
 some law proceedings that were instituted against him 
 in 1587. 
 
 226. A lease for twenty-one years, dated 22 
 November, 1562, from William Clopton of Clopton, 
 esquire, to William Smythe of Stratford-on-Avon, 
 haberdasher, of a close of land " in the lordshyp of 
 Cloptone, beneythe the park next unto the coman 
 fyldes ther, now in the tenure and occupacyon of the 
 said William Smyth." 
 
 The consideration paid for the lease was ^"31, the 
 reserved annual rent being "only on cowple of capons." 
 Witnessed by William Bott, the purchaser of New Place. 
 Signed by William Smythe, the deed itself being in the 
 autograph of Henry Higford, the steward of the Stratford 
 Court of Record. This latter circumstance invests the 
 document with no little degree of interest, the accounts 
 drawn up by the poet's father in 1564 and 1565 being in 
 the same handwriting. It is also worth notice that John 
 Shakespeare acted as one of the Chamberlains when 
 William Smythe nominally held the office in the year last- 
 mentioned. 
 
 227. A lease from Sir George and Lady Carewe, 
 27 March, 2 James I., 1604, to William Courte of 
 Stratford-on-Avon, gentleman, of land near the Wier 
 Brake. 
 
 With the signature of William Courte, who was one of 
 Shakespeare's neighbours in Chapel Street and concerned 
 with others in the tithe-suit that was instituted by the poet 
 about the year 1609. 
 
 228. Another lease from the same, 27 March, 
 1604, to John Lane of Stratford-on-Avon, gentle- 
 man, of " all that close called Crosse on the 
 Hill," &c. 
 
 Witnessed, with their autographs, by the William Courte, 
 mentioned in the preceding article, and by Abraham 
 Sturley, the individual who was interesting himself in the 
 poet's investments in the year 1598-
 
 7S 
 
 Nos. 229 to 235 are in a large folio volume of 
 similar size, lettered "A Shakespearean Play- 
 Bill, temp. William III.," and bound like 
 the previous folios. 
 
 229. A play-bill of the time of William the Third, 
 announcing a performance of Dryden's Troilus and 
 Cressida on October the 28th, 1697. 
 
 This is the earliest authentic play -bill of a Shakespearean 
 character which is known to exist. Play-bills, or " billes 
 " for players," as they are termed in the Stationers' 
 Registers for 1587, were in ordinary use throughout the 
 time of the great dramatist, but none earlier than the reign 
 of William the Third are known to be in existence. Even 
 any of the latter are of extreme rarity. The names of 
 actors do not appear to have been inserted before the time 
 of George the Second, the frequently-quoted bill of the 
 Humorous Lieutenant, 1663, being an undoubted forgery. 
 
 230. Shakespearean scraps from original copies 
 of the following works, — Drayton's Elegies, 1631 ; 
 Randolph's Hey for Honesty, 165 1 ; a Declaration 
 of the Treasons of the Earl of Essex, 1601 ; Kirk- 
 man's list, 1 67 1 ; Blurt Master Constable, 1602 ; 
 Goulart's Histories of our Time, 1607 (this curious 
 and rare book contains the story of the Induction to 
 the Taming of the Shrew) ; Suckling's Fragmenta 
 Aurea, 1648 ; Cokain's Small Poems of Divers 
 Sorts, 1658; Sharpe's Noble Stranger, 1640; 
 Marston's Malcontent, 1604 ; Cawdray's Treasurie 
 or Store-house of Similies, 1600; Sir Thomas 
 Smithes Voiage and Entertainment in Rushia, 1605 ; 
 the Palace of Pleasure; Play ford's Musical Com- 
 panion, 1667 ; Scarron's Comical Romance or 
 Facetious History, 1676; Cartwright's Poems, 
 1651. 
 
 231. Itinerant players acting on a scaffold in 
 what is generally said to be a view of Old Smith- 
 field, 
 
 An engraving from Scarron's Comical Romance, 1676,
 
 79 
 
 " printed for W. Crooke at the Green Dragon without 
 " Temple Barr." 
 
 232. A plan of the city of Bath. Speed, 1610. 
 
 233. Four pages from a prompter's copy, temp. 
 Car. II., of the tragedy of Macbeth, with numerous 
 alterations of the original text. 
 
 234. The title-page of the second folio edition 
 of Shakespeare's Plays, 1632, with the Droeshout 
 portrait. 
 
 This copy differs from that in No. 219, the word copies 
 being rightly spelt and the notice " at his shop " being 
 omitted in the imprint. 
 
 235. Copies of the Droeshout portrait from the 
 folios of 1663 and 1685. 
 
 The first came to my hands in an illustrated copy of the 
 octavo variorum, the compiler of which had reduced the 
 width of the engraving by a barbarian clipping of the sides. 
 
 Nos. 236 to 244 are in a large folio volume lettered 
 " Norden's View of London Bridge, a.d. 
 " 1 597." and bound like the previous folios. 
 
 236. Paul's Cross, a wood-engraving in the title- 
 page of Three Looks over London, 1643. 
 
 237. A woodcut facsimile of Shakespeare's Rime 
 he made at the Myter in Fleete Streete, from a 
 manuscript compiled about the year 1640. 
 
 238. The View of London Bridge from East to 
 West (Norden), — to the Right Honorable Sir Ric. 
 Salstonstall, Lord Mayor of the Cittie of London. 
 
 He was mayor in 1597, the obvious date of this undated 
 engraving, which is slightly pared on the lower margin. 
 An inferior variation of it was published in 1624, but no 
 other copy in this first state is known to exist. Mr. 
 William Rendle, the historian of Southwark, thus writes 
 respecting this engraving in Notes and Queries of June the 
 5th, 1886 — "Now visiting my friend Mr. Halliwell- 
 " Phillipps, I have been favoured by him with the sight of 
 " a large plate, Norden's London Bridge, in his possession,
 
 8o 
 
 " as beautiful as it is rare. The ordinary copy, in its main 
 " features like this one, is so different in some other 
 
 ' respects that I am tempted to send you the particulars. 
 
 ' I suppose it to be the one referred to in the 1624 print 
 " thus, ' I described it in the time of Oueene Elizabeth, but 
 " ' the plate having bene neare these twenty yeares 
 " ' imbezeled and detained by a person, till of late 
 " ' unknown, and now brought to light,' &c. From its 
 " clearness and sharpness, it must be one of the earliest, if 
 " not the earliest, impression, and from the writing on it, so 
 " exactly like Norden's, probably his own copy. Cropped 
 " at the bottom it yet shows its date by the dedication to 
 " the ' Right Honorable S r Ric' Saltonstall, Lord May r of 
 "'the Citti of London,' as 1597, as the ordinary copy 
 " dedicated to Sir John Gore implies 1624. — We face the 
 " eastern side of the bridge, and looking through the arches, 
 " see the Bankside with its continuous houses. As in the 
 " later print, boats are upset and people are struggling in 
 " the water, but in this the features and costume of the 
 " many more people in many more boats are very clear ; 
 " there are boats sharp at both ends, sharp at one end, 
 " boats with one or two persons, one with five. Midstream 
 " are four wide, large, rounded boats, empty, one covered 
 " with a sort of caged work, possibly, I think, bumboats or 
 " for conveyance of goods generally, the caged one perhaps 
 " for lively cattle, or it may be for the securing pressed 
 " men for the tenders at the Tower close at hand. — The 
 " arms of the earlier print have the lion one side, a dragon 
 " the other, with, underneath, ' Semper eadem ' ; in the 
 " 1624 copy the dragon gives place to the unicorn, and the 
 " ' Semper eadem ' to ' Diev et mon droit.' The writing is 
 "as follows : —At the top, ' Pontis Londinensis facies 
 " ' orientalis, Joanne Norden descriptore.' South end, 
 " where the ' Bear-at-the-Bridge-foot ' was, ' Southewark- 
 " ' Bridge-gate.' Immediately over the heads on poles, 
 '■ ' the Draw-bridge.' By Nonsuch, ' Capella S. Thomas ' ; 
 " further on ' S. Marie Lock. Newe fish street.' Then 
 " ' Longitudo hujus Pontis est prope 800 pedes. Altitudo 
 " ' est 60 ped. Latitudo est 30 pedes. Domus institorum 
 " ' et mercatorum, hie qui omnis generis merces vendunt. 
 " ' Sunt supra ioo,' &c." This is the earliest separate 
 large view ot the bridge known to exist, and there is no 
 other that can be confidently assigned to the period of 
 Elizabeth.

 written the xiij.th daie of Aprill, 1640, with the 
 mark-signature of John Hathaway. — A levie made 
 the tenthe daie of August, 1635, by Roger Barnard 
 and Thomas Harris, churchwardens of the parish 
 of Old Stratford, towardes the repaire of the 
 Parishe Church there, with autograph of Edmund 
 Hathaway. 
 
 These two manuscripts, which contain several entries of 
 Shakespearean interest, were amongst those which were 
 lately discovered by Mr. Sims of the British Museum in 
 the archives of Wallop Hall, co. Salop. 
 
 249. A document on vellum respecting lands in 
 Kent leased to Sir Robert Sidney, with the signa- 
 ture of Robert, Earl of Essex, 1596. 
 
 There can scarcely be a doubt that this nobleman, the 
 object of the graceful compliment in Henry the Fifth, was 
 on friendly terms with the great dramatist. 
 
 250. A deed of covenant, 10 October, 1647, for 
 the levy of a fine on the land where the Bear in 
 Bridge Street, Stratford- on-A von, formerly stood,
 
 §3 
 
 and on the house in Chapel Street that had been 
 purchased by Thomas Hathaway, a lineal descen- 
 dant from the parents of Shakespeare's wife. 
 
 251. A deed with the mark-signature of John 
 Richardson of Shottery, 16 10, the son perhaps of one 
 of Shakespeare's marriage-bondsmen.— A levy made 
 by the inhabitants of Lapworth, 1650, including 
 notices of the Shakespeares of that parish. — Shake- 
 spearean scraps from an original copy of Gayton's 
 Pleasant Notes upon Don Quixot, 1654. 
 
 252. John Jones and Mary his wife, the widow 
 and relict of John Hathaway, to Robert Hathaway 
 of Shottery, a receipt for a legacy bequeathed to 
 Mary by her first husband, 6 August, 1 703. 
 
 253. A collection of Shakespearean scraps from 
 Camden's Remaines, 1605 to 1636. 
 
 254. An inventory of the goods and chatels of 
 Robert Hathaway (here spelt Athaway) of Shotrey, 
 in the parish of Old Stratford, lately deceased, 1728. 
 
 An important document. See Outlines of the Life of 
 Shakespeare, ed. 1887, ii. 192. 
 
 255. Deed of gift of personal effects from Sarah 
 Hathaway, widow of Robert Hathaway of Shottery, 
 to Susannah Taylor, her daughter, wife of William 
 Taylor, 1752. 
 
 256. An indenture and bond, March, 1604, 
 respecting land near Stratford-on-Avon, with two 
 signatures of Richard Tyler, a contemplated legatee 
 under Shakespeare's will. 
 
 The bond is witnessed by Abraham Sturley, the person 
 who interested himself in the poet's business arrangements 
 of 159S. 
 
 257. Facsimile of an entry respecting Sir Thomas 
 Lucy, 1595; manuscript notes by R. B. Wheler on 
 the Charlecote traditions ; a fragment from the Rev.
 
 8 4 
 
 Joseph Greene's revised copy of Rowe's Life of 
 Shakespeare, the portion referring to the Charlecote 
 adventure, c. 1750 ; facsimiles of the signatures and 
 attestation to the poet's will, Neele sculpsit ; the 
 second nominated allusion to Shakespeare in our 
 printed literature, the original leaves from Poli- 
 manteia, 1595. 
 
 258. An original deed with the rare signature of 
 the Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote, the individual 
 who owes his celebrity to his inconsiderate treatment 
 of the youth who was afterwards to be the national 
 dramatist of England. 
 
 This indenture was executed in December, 17 Elizabeth, 
 1574, and it bears also the signatures of Sir Thomas's two 
 brothers, Timothy and Edward. 
 
 259. The conveyance of a piece of land, 20 April, 
 14 James I., 16 16, from Sir Thomas Lucy of 
 Charlcott, in the county of Warwick, knight, to 
 James Combe of Hyneleadon, in the county of the 
 cittye of Glocester, yoman, with the signature of the 
 former. 
 
 This Sir Thomas was fond of literary society, but there 
 is no good evidence in favour of the oft-repeated assertion 
 that he was on friendly terms with the great dramatist. 
 He was the grandson of the poet's Justice Shallow, who, as 
 well as the intermediate Sir Thomas Lucy, is mentioned in 
 the present indenture. 
 
 260. Memoranda in the autograph of Philip, Earl 
 of Pembroke and Montgomery. 
 
 They are of great curiosity, including four notices of one 
 " Squeal of Cotswold," who appears to have been a very 
 indifferent character ; singular evidences of the poet's 
 introducing the name of a local celebrity of his own day 
 into an historical drama. 
 
 26 r. A large plan of the basement of a house 
 adjoining northwards to New Place. 
 
 262. Indenture, 14 June, 12 Elizabeth, 1570,
 
 85 
 
 respecting lands at Snitterfield and Fulbrooke, 
 with a signature of Bartholomew Hales. 
 
 Witnessed amongst others by Thomas Perkes and 
 Alexander Webbe, the poet's uncle. 
 
 263. A Plan of the Town and Borough of 
 Stratford-upon-Avon by W. R. Swanwick. En- 
 graved by J. Tolley, Birmingham. Published by 
 J. Ward, Stratford. 
 
 264. Indenture of lease, 10 November, 17 James 
 I., 1619, of a piece of land called Little Rushbrooke, 
 situated at Bridgetown, Stratford-on-Avon, with the 
 signatures of Lord and Lady Carew of Clopton. 
 
 A traditional anecdote respecting them is believed to 
 have been in the poet's thoughts when he makes Prospero 
 speak so enigmatically of the loss of his daughter. 
 
 Nos. 265 to 273 are in a large folio volume, 
 lettered "Shakespearean Illustrations," and 
 bound like the previous folios. 
 
 265. A very large plan of Stratford-on-Avon, 
 
 divided into four sheets, executed about the year 
 
 1780. 
 
 It should be noticed that some of the memoranda are 
 of a more recent date than that of the drawing itself. 
 
 266. A view of the interior of the chancel of 
 Stratford Church, published at Birmingham in 
 December, 1827. Drawn by H. Hutchinson ; 
 engraved by W. Radclyffe.

 a rubbing of the former.

 Stratford Church, executed about the year 1 840. 
 
 272. The monumental effigy, engraved by I. S. 
 Agar from an original drawing by A. Wivell in 
 the possession of John Cordy, esq. Published by 
 Geo. Lawford, November, 1825. A proof.

 of Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, 1628.

 At London, printed by Robert Walde-grave, dwell- 
 ing without Temple-barre, for Henry Carre in 
 Paules Churchyard, 1583. 
 
 Blue morocco, after the Roger Payne style. 
 
 This is a tract of the highest degree of rarity ; the only 
 copy I have heard of as being in any public library is that 
 in the University Library of Cambridge. The British 
 Museum has, I find, a copy, but it must have been bought 
 in late years. 
 
 282. An extract from Rowe's Life of Shakespeare, 
 revised by the Rev. Joseph Greene of Stratford-on- 
 Avon about the year 1750. Exceedingly important

 Blue Levant morocco, super extra, gilt back, Harleian 
 panelled sides, broad rich inside borders, gilt leaves, by 
 F. Bedford. 
 
 " An interesting collection that includes numerous 
 " extracts from the works of Shakespeare. This copy, 
 " which belonged successively to Theobald and Oldys, is 
 " perhaps unique in one small matter, the two fly-leaves 
 " of sheet A preceding the title-page. In common with 
 " two other copies in the British Museum, it has not the 
 " verses commencing, ' Fame's windy trump,' which have 
 " been said, I am sure erroneously, to form a genuine 
 " portion of the work." 
 
 This opinion was afterwards confirmed ; for in the 
 Halliwell-Phillippssale, 1889, was sold an imperfect copy of 
 this book in which he had written, " The present fragment, 
 :< taken from a very imperfect copy, contains the whole of 
 " the last sheet with the blank last leaf, the latter being 
 " important as showing that the verses commencing, 
 " ' Fame's windy trump ' could never have formed part of 
 " the original work." 
 
 In spite of all its errors, " England's Parnassus " is a 
 work of much interest and value. — Payne Collier's Biblio- 
 graphical Catalogue, 1865. 
 
 284. Mount Tabor, or Private Exercises of a 
 Penitent Sinner, serving for a daily Practice of 
 the life of Faith, &c, written in the time of a 
 voluntary retrait from secular affaires. By R. W.

 anno Dom. 1639. 
 
 Dark blue Levant morocco, super extra, gilt back, rich 
 inside borders, French filletted sides, gilt leaves, by F. 
 Bedford. 
 
 Some of the "exercises" of this author, who was born 
 in the same year with Shakespeare, are strikingly illus- 
 trative of the boy and school life of exactly the poet's own 
 time. At p. 1 10 is the well-known chapter "upon a stage- 
 play which I saw when I was a child." 
 
 This narrative by Willis is given in cxtcnso in Outlines, 
 I., 41, 43.

 285. Playes confuted in hue Actions, prouing 
 that they are not to be suffred in a Christian 
 common weale ; by the waye both the Cauils 
 of Thomas Lodge and the Play of Playes written 
 in their defence, and other objections of Players 
 frendes, are truely set downe and directlye 
 aunsweared. By Steph. Gosson, Stud. Oxon. 
 London, imprinted for Thomas Gosson, dwelling 
 in Paternoster Row at the signe of the Sunne, 
 n.d. — [2mo. 
 
 Purple morocco, half extra. 
 
 Perfect, and the spare leaf at the end, if it belongs, as 
 it appears, to the book, is unique. The original black-letter 
 edition. 
 
 Much has been said, at various times and in various 
 works, of Gosson's " School of Abuse," written mainly 
 against theatrical performances and published in 1579, but 
 very little notice has been taken of the still more rare and 
 curious work before us, in which he followed up his attack 
 and replied to his adversaries. * * * We can only 
 spare room for a brief quotation respecting the moral 
 conduct of a portion of the auditory at playhouses, in or 
 about the year 1580: — 
 
 In the playhouses at London it is the fashion of youthes to go first 
 into the yarde, and to carry their eye through every gallery ; then, 
 like unto ravens, where /hey spye carion, thither they fiye, andpresse 
 as nere to the fairest as they can. Instead of pomegranates they give 
 them pippins ; they dally with their garments to passe the time ; 
 they minister talke upon al occasions, and eyther bring them home 
 to their houses upon small acquaintance, or slip into taverns when the 
 plaics are done. 
 
 There was no denying such charges, and accordingly 
 Gosson's opponents were careful not to touch them. He 
 ends thus : — 
 
 Playes are the inventions of the Devil, the offrings of Idolatrie, 
 the pompe of worldlings, the blossomes of vanitie, the roote ofapos- 
 tacy, the foode of iniquitie, ryot and adulterie : detest them.

 taining a number of passages that were omitted 
 in the old printed edition. 
 
 Green Levant morocco, super extra, lettered along the 
 back in a compartment, broad rich inside borders, French 
 filletted sides, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 
 This interesting relic, which was first noticed in Collier's 
 History of Dramatic Poetry, 1831, iii. 133, is the only 
 vestige of the tragedy in the state in which it left the hands 
 of the author, and is important as a striking evidence of 
 the extent to which texts of some of our early dramas were 
 mutilated in the copies that were used by the printers. 
 
 288. An impression of Droeshout's engraved 
 portrait of Shakespeare, issued by Henry Her- 
 ringman and Thomas Dring in the year 1673.

 The accuracy of the extracts from the register is 
 certified by the Rev. Stephen Nason, the then 
 vicar. — 4to.

 copied by Fisher in 1804 from paintings discovered 
 on the west side of the wall that divides the nave 
 and chancel of the Guild Chapel. — Miracles of the 
 Holy Cross, two paintings on the north side of the 
 Chancel, Fisher del. 
 
 The original drawings, coloured, and, like the other ones 
 by the same artist in this collection, more accurate than 
 the published reproductions. They are now unique, the 
 only replicas that were made having perished with the rest 
 of the Staunton library.

 engravings by William Kip, Stephen Harrison, 
 and another, including the one which has the 
 view of London. 
 
 There is authentic record evidence that Shakespeare 
 was in the procession on this interesting occasion.

 poet's Sir Thomas, a monument on the south side

 side of the western end, executed about the year 
 1762. 
 
 This and the next-mentioned drawing were in Richard 
 Greene's illustrated copy of Dugdale, but it may be 
 suspected, from the style, that they were not executed 
 by him.

 1603. — Near the corner is — Printed and sovld by 
 P. Stent. 
 
 This is the earliest map of Warwickshire in which the

 his name as publisher to a plate of older date than the 
 period at which he flourished.

 rare state of the plate, before the Royal Exchange was 
 introduced.

 to Hollar, but the Guildhall copy is ascribed in manuscript 
 to Matthew Merian. 
 
 533. A View of London from Howel's Londin- 
 opolis, 1657, with forty-six references to numbers.

 The first of these plans shows the Rose Theatre, the 
 only regular one then on the south of the Thames, and

 It gives a more accurate idea than any other of the 
 metropolis as it existed in the poet's time.

 580. A plan of Stratford-on-Avon by Samuel 
 Winter, 1759. 
 
 The date, which is not annexed, is ascertained by the 
 following note in the Joseph Greene manuscripts, the 
 houses-number corresponding, — "in the year 1759 a careful 
 " survey of the town was taken, and an exact plan of the 
 " same delineated ; when the number of houses therein was 
 " found to be 552." This is the earliest complete plan of 
 the town known to exist, and as the site of New Place is 
 marked as a house, it must have been made early in the 
 above-mentioned year, that in which the mansion was 
 pulled down by Gastrell. A later plan by the same 
 surveyor, with a larger display of houses, preserved in the 
 Stratford Museum, was probably taken about the year

 This most interesting and curious little book was written 
 by Robert Armin the friend and colleague of Shakespeare, 
 and was re-published by him in 1605 and 1608, the latter 
 under the new title of The Nest of Ninnies. The present 
 is the first edition, and it is not only unique but it has not 
 been noticed by any bibliographer. It is the most valuable 
 by far of the three editions, not merely as being the first, 
 although that of course is a matter of importance, but as 
 shewing an opening address and a very curious metrical 
 description of the fools, none of which are in the later ones. 
 —J. O. H.-P. July, 1883. 
 
 The adventure narrated in the following extract from 
 Outlines, I., 322, is supposed to be alluded to in Troilus 
 and Cressida :— 
 
 It happened one winter that the players of Lord 
 Chandos of Sudeley had been acting at Evesham, a town 
 distant, by the then only main road, about fifteen miles 
 from Stratford-upon-Avon. Their performances had been 
 specially relished by Jack Miller, a native of the former 
 place, and one of the natural imbeciles in whose eccen- 
 tricities our ancestors so much delighted. He was, in fact, 
 the popular Fool of the town and neighbourhood, so that 
 when he announced his intention of decamping with his 
 favourite performer, the clown, there was an anxiety on the 
 part of the inhabitants to frustrate the design. They wished 
 him, however, to have a last peep at the actors, so he was 
 taken to the Hart Inn, and there was locked up in a room 
 whence he could see them when they were on the road to 
 their next quarters at Pershore, the Avon flowing between 
 that route and the apartment which was selected for the
 
 H7 
 
 temporary imprisonment. No one dreamt that further pre- 
 cautions were necessary, for, although the water bore a 
 coating of ice, the latter was too thin for it to be considered 
 possible that a boatless individual would be able to pass 
 over the river, even if he succeeded in escaping from the 
 tavern. But no sooner did Jack get a sight of his pet 
 buffoon than, managing to alight to the ground from the 
 window, he scudded over the ice to the company, executing 
 his venturesome feat, to the utter amazement of them all, 
 in perfect safety. 
 
 Amongst the members of the company witnessing the 
 occurrence was Robert Armin, who was afterwards one of 
 Shakespeare's own professional colleagues. This individual 
 subsequently made a collection of tales respecting persons 
 of the Jack Miller type, issuing it, in 1600, under the title 
 of Foole Vpon Foole or Six Sortes of Sottes, a curious 
 little tract without the author's name, the writer simply 
 describing himself as Clonnico de Curtanio Snuffe, meaning, 
 by this odd phrase, that he was then filling the post of 
 Clown at the Curtain Theatre. 
 
 752. The most excellent Historie of the Merchant 
 of Venice, printed by I. R. for Thomas Heyes, and 
 are to be sold in Paules Church-yard at the signe of 
 the Greene Dragon, 1600. — Quarto. 
 
 Half brown morocco, neat, gilt leaves, by F. Bedford. 
 
 There is a note in this volume signed by Thomas 
 Malone as follows : — This copy was given to me by Dr. 
 Farmer, and the words on the first page are his hand- 
 writing. For the title-page I am answerable. 
 
 The title-page and three leaves in facsimile. 
 
 The first edition. The copy in Cosens' sale, 1890, fetched 
 £270. 
 
 753. The Lives of the Noble Grecians and 
 Romanes compared together by that grave learned 
 Philosopher and Historiographer, Plutarke ot 
 Chceronea ; translated out of Greeke into French 
 by lames Amiot, and out of French into English 
 by Thomas North. Imprinted at London by 
 Richard Field for Bonham Norton, 1595. — Folio. 
 
 There are sound reasons for believing that this is the 
 edition that was used by Shakespeare.

 Dark red morocco, super extra, blind and gold entirely 
 over the back and sides, broad borders of gold inside, gilt 
 leaves, by Hayes. 
 
 There being no record of Shakespeare's use of any 
 particular impression, it follows that verbal tests are the 
 only means of its identification. These are necessarily 
 indefinite in all cases in which the variations between two 
 editions could have been independently adopted by the 
 poet himself. * * What is required is an expression, 
 
 peculiar to' Shakespeare and to certain editions of the 
 translation of Plutarch, one which could not be reasonably 
 attributed to the independent fancy of the great dramatist. 
 There is such an expression in the 1579 and 1595 editions 
 of the Life of Coriolanus, — " if I had feared death, I would 
 not have come hither to have put my life in hazard, but 
 prickt forward with spite, and desire I have to be revenged 
 of them that thus have banished me." Whoever compares 
 this passage with the speech of Coriolanus in the tragedy, 
 act iv.j sc. 5, and is told that the word spite is omitted in 
 all the later Plutarch editions, may be convinced that 
 Shakespeare must have read either the impression of 1579 
 or that of 1595, and probably the latter, which was one of 
 the speculations of his fellow-townsman, the printer of the 
 first edition of Venus and Adonis. — Outlines, II., 285. 
 
 754. A large collection of manuscript pieces in 
 verse and prose, mostly of a comical nature, partly 
 written and partly compiled by an Oxonian in the 
 reign of Charles the First. 
 
 Purple morocco, extra, panelled sides. 
 
 It includes, at p. 74, Basse's verses, here entitled, "an 
 Epitaph on Mr. Shakespeare," at pp. 119-121 verses on 
 the play of Ignoramus, at p. 141 an allusion to the Globe 
 Theatre ; at p. 232 lines of " Shakespeare on Sir John 
 Coome." At pp. 182-217 ' s a contemporary transcript of 
 the lost edition of Earle's Microcosmography, 1626, con- 
 taining numerous textual variations and several passages 
 omitted in the later impressions, e.g., the following in the 
 Character of a Player, — " his commings in are tollerable, 
 yet in smal money, and, like Halifax great vicaradge, most 
 in twopences." 
 
 Mr. Pearson of Pall Mall purchased this valuable 
 manuscript for me at the sale of the Curteis library at 
 Puttick and Simpson's, June 30th, 1884.

 Shakespearean pieces. 
 
 " This first edition of an admirable and popular poetical 
 " miscellany is extremely rare * * on sig. H 2 we meet 
 " with the celebrated ode, ' As it fell upon a day,' which we 
 " now know was by Shakespeare, and not by Barnfield, in 
 " whose name it had been published in 1598, but assigned 
 " to its true owner in ' The Passionate Pilgrim ' of 1599."

 Calf extra, by Clarke. 
 
 The curious allusion to the old tragedy of Hamlet is at 
 sig. K. 
 
 "In one place we have the following not very apposite 
 mention of Hamlet : 
 
 That his father's Einpire and Government was but as the 
 poeticall furie i?i a stage-action, compleat, yet with horrid and 
 wofull tragedies ; a first, but no second to any Hamlet. 
 
 Shakespeare's Hamlet had been brought out two or three 
 years before this tract was published ; but it may be doubted 
 whether the reference be not to the older play on the 
 same story, which Lodge had noticed in 1596 in his " Wits 
 misery and Worlds Madness," when he spoke of " the 
 ghost who cried so miserably at the Theatre, ' Hamlet, 
 revenge ! ' " — Payne Collier's Bibliographical Catalogue, 
 1865.

 805. An oblong volume, in manuscript, that 
 belonged to one Giles Lodge in 1 59 1. 
 
 Purple morocco, half extra. 
 
 This contains the original music to a number of songs 
 and dances, including several that are either quoted or 
 mentioned by Shakespeare, and no doubt familiarly known 
 to him, e.g., Robin Hoode, a galiarde, passa mesersgaliarde, 
 the antycke, a pavion, a hornepippe, the passe a mesures 
 pavion, a round, the hunt ys uppe, a dumpe, quarter 
 brawles, the Frenche galiarde, all of grene willowe, and a 
 measure. Amongst the miscellaneous pieces may be 
 mentioned Westones pavion and " my Lord of Essex 
 songe," the latter being thus noted, finis quoth William 
 Hewese. So Tyrvvhitt's conjecture respecting the W. H. 
 of the Sonnets may thus receive a trifling support. At 
 the end of the book, following a collection of receipts, is an 
 unpublished drama in five acts, avowedly written for boy- 
 actors, and entitled " a new comody of July and Julian." 
 There is no date to this curious production, but it may 
 be confidently assigned to the period of Shakespeare's 
 boyhood.

 COPY REPORT 
 
 OF THE 
 
 BIRMINGHAM FREE LIBRARIES COMMITTEE 
 
 UPON THE 
 
 HALLIWELL-PHILLIPPS 
 
 Collection of Rarities made to the City Council in the 
 
 Summer of 1889. 
 
 In order that this Committee and the Council might have 
 a summary and classification of the contents of the 
 Collection, they requested Mr. Samuel Timmins (who had 
 the opportunity of examining it during Mr. Halliwell- 
 Phillipps's lifetime) to prepare a report on the subject, 
 which is as follows : — 
 
 The collection of Shakespearean Rarities offered to the 
 Corporation of Birmingham by the will of the late Mr. 
 J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, was fully described by him in a 
 privately printed Calendar in 1887. The volume gives 
 in its one hundred and fifty pages a detailed description 
 of the eight hundred and five objects which form the 
 collection. Many of these headings include numerous 
 examples, so that the total number is very large. The 
 collection is not a number of mere curiosities, but each 
 article has some special reference to the Life and Times 
 of Shakespeare, and his surroundings in Stratford and 
 London. The collection was formed to illustrate, by all 
 available manuscripts, books, engravings, drawings, maps, 
 plans, surveys, and all that could throw any light, direct 
 or incidental, on the personal and literary life of the poet, 
 the history of the drama and the stage, and the general 
 history of the age in which Shakespeare lived and wrote 
 and acted on the Elizabethan stage. Although Mr. 
 Halliwell-Phillipps had devoted nearly fifty years to the
 
 i6 5 
 
 study of those times, and especially to the works of 
 Shakespeare, he found that his advanced age would not 
 allow him to do justice to all the material he had col- 
 lected. He limited his recent collections to Illustrations 
 of the Life of Shakespeare, and has left ample material 
 for some successor, who, he hoped, would be able and 
 willing to complete such a work from this varied and 
 valuable collection. He had, apparently, till very recently 
 expected, if not desired, that the whole collection should 
 go to the United States, where large and valuable libraries 
 and liberal private purchasers have so long secured the 
 literary rarities which have been offered for sale at enor- 
 mous prices. 
 
 The collection can only be fully appreciated, or its 
 literary value understood, by a careful examination of the 
 various items, but a general description may be given under 
 the following headings : — 
 
 I. Early Engraved Portraits of Shakespeare. 
 II. Authentic Personal Relics. 
 
 III. Documentary Evidences respecting his estates and 
 
 individuals connected with his Biography. 
 
 IV. Artistic Illustrations of localities connected with 
 
 his personal history. 
 
 I. The most important of the first division is the unique 
 early proof of the famous Droeshout portrait (which with 
 the Bust in Stratford Church) are the only authoritative 
 and contemporary portraits of the poet in " his habit as 
 he lived." The impressions of the plate in the few known 
 copies of the rare First Folio vary considerably, and even 
 the best examples are singularly inferior to this copy, 
 which is in its "original proof state before it was altered 
 by an inferior hand," and it also differs materially from 
 the other copies in this collection as to form and ex- 
 pression. It was purchased many years ago for one 
 hundred pounds,* and from the fact that it is the earliest 
 and most life-like portrait, and that it has never been 
 successfully photographed, it would certainly realise a very 
 large sum if it could be sold publicly, but Mr. Halliwell- 
 Phillipps seems to have taken every precaution to prevent 
 his collection being dispersed. 
 
 * An American offered Mr. Halliwell-PhiUipps ^1,000 for 
 this portrait.

 II. The relics which can be positively associated with 
 Shakespeare are extremely few. No letter written by him 
 has ever yet been found. Only five examples of his 
 hand-writing have been preserved, and these are merely 
 signatures. Three of them are on his last will, now in 
 Somerset House, and the other two on legal documents — 
 one in the British Museum, and the other at Guild Hall — 
 all three Public Collections, never to be broken up. No 
 other similar relics had been found till Mr. Halliwell- 
 Phillipps fortunately secured some documents of un- 
 questioned genuineness, which, although they do not bear 
 Shakespeare's signature, have certainly passed through 
 his hands; and they have a further historic value as con- 
 nected with his house at Black Friars and his home at 
 New Place. " Of these title-deeds there are no fewer than 
 six in the present collection." 
 
 III. All these, and several others relating more or less 
 directly to the poet's property, were purchased for very 
 large sums, and have not only historic interest but great 
 pecuniary value, and would excite very keen competition 
 if they could have been offered for sale. Among the 
 other numerous legal documents are several relating to 
 other properties in Stratford, one of them— the Clopton 
 Cartulary — dating from 13 13 to 1515, and others bearing 
 the rare signatures of Sir Thomas Lucy, Thomas Greene, 
 the poet's cousin, Walter Roche, his schoolmaster, Francis 
 Collins, his solicitor, and John a Combe and Thomas 
 Combe, his personal friends, as well as those of the Earls 
 of Southampton and Essex. 
 
 IV. Pictorial Illustrations of Shakespeare, and the houses 
 and places associated with his name and fame, are 
 numerous enough nowadays, but any of the seventeenth 
 and even of the eighteenth century are singularly rare. 
 " The Bodleian Library, so rich in English topography, has 
 none ; while in the British Museum there are hardly any 
 of- the slightest interest." Only two large and important 
 collections of drawings and engravings illustrative of 
 Shakespearean Biography now exist ; one, that collected 
 by Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps and the late Mr. W. O. Hunt, 
 and now in the Birth-Place at Stratford, and the other 
 the present collection. Only three original last century 
 drawings of his Birth-Place at Stratford are now to be 
 found ; the one in the British Museum, and the two others 
 in the present collection. Many views of the Birth-Place
 
 have been secured for this collection ; and are the more 
 important as part of the history of the house during its 
 many changes, and before its restoration. One drawing of 
 much value was destroyed, with the Staunton Collection, in 
 the fire at the Birmingham Free Library in 1879, but a 
 tracing of it is among the present numerous sketches. 
 
 The rapid and constant destruction or removal of old 
 houses and buildings during the past few years renders 
 many of the drawings extremely valuable. 
 
 From 1862 to 1868, the late Mr. J.T. Blight was engaged 
 by Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps to make drawings in pencil and 
 in water colour of all the most remarkable buildings, not 
 only in and around Stratford, but all the way by various 
 roads to London, as illustrations of the travelling of 
 Shakespeare's time. These are extremely numerous, and 
 of such artistic value that they would be highly prized, 
 apart from their local and historic interest, as records of 
 picturesque old buildings rapidly disappearing. The topo- 
 graphy of Stratford-on-Avon is also largely represented 
 by a ground plan of the College (near the Church and 
 destroyed in 1800), so early as the beginning of the 
 sixteenth century, with the tithe-barn shown ; the Peram- 
 bulation of the town in 1591, and the first plan of the town 
 in 1/59- The curious old mural paintings on the walls of 
 the Guild Chapel were copied in water colours by Thomas 
 Fisher, in 1810, just before they were destroyed. He left 
 two sets of his original drawings, which are far superior to 
 the engraved copies in detail and effect. One of the 
 replicas was burned in the fire at the Reference Library in 
 1879, and the other is preserved in this collection. 
 
 The Life of Shakespeare in London is also represented 
 and illustrated by many rare and curious drawings and 
 prints. Norden's fine engraving shows Old London Bridge 
 in 1597 — its form during the poet's London life. Braun's 
 curious plan of the City in 1574, and Harrison's View in 
 1604, are extremely rare, while Visscher's Panoramic View 
 of London from Whitehall and Rotherhithe, showing the 
 Globe and other Theatres, is unique and of remarkable 
 interest. Not only Stratford and London, but Windsor 
 and many other places, are literally " represented " by the 
 numerous drawings, the purpose having been from the first 
 "not the mere desire for accumulation," but the "definite 
 purpose of illustrating the Life of Shakespeare by repre- 
 sentations of every morsel that could be found of his own
 
 i68 
 
 contemporary England, that is to say, of every object 
 which he himself was likely to have seen." 
 
 Among the many printed books some are very remark- 
 able, and nearly unique. There are two editions of Lily's 
 Shorte Introduction of Grammar, generally to be used, 
 compiled and set forth for the bringing up of all those that 
 intend to attain the knowledge of the Latin tongue. 
 "London, 1568, for which Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps paid 
 £120." A copy of this and also of the 1567 edition are 
 to be found in this collection, and one or both were 
 certainly used in Stratford School when Shakespeare was 
 learning his " small Latin and less Greek." A curious 
 illustration of this is found in the fact that Shakespeare 
 quotes a line in Terence, from this edition, and not from 
 the classic text direct. Another " Classic " also then used 
 in Grammar Schools is the rare Ovid of 1567, several 
 passages from which are quoted in The Tempest. Other 
 school books of Shakespeare's times are also represented 
 by the rare maps of Warwickshire by Saxton, 1576; 
 Speed, 1610, and others of later dates. 
 
 Many of the printed books have manuscript notes of 
 great interest and value. A unique and interesting record 
 of Shakespeare's later life at Stratford is found in a 
 description of New Place, where he lived and died. The 
 house was pulled down and rebuilt in 1702, but a paper 
 in the handwriting of the Rev. Joseph Greene, Master of 
 the Grammar School (1746- 1787), contains the only known 
 descriptions of New Place as Shakespeare left it, taken 
 viva voce from an old man who had played there when a 
 boy. Another book of singular interest and original value 
 is a copy of Dugdale's Warwickshire, which belonged to 
 the Rev. Joseph Greene, and which contains many manu- 
 script notes and drawings from his pen and pencil, in which 
 the lost details of Stratford, a century ago, and of other 
 neighbouring places, have fortunately been preserved. 
 Other notes and records by the same old worthy — the first 
 historian of Stratford — have also from time to time been 
 added to this collection, and are of rare historic and 
 topographical interest. Another rare and curious book is 
 the " Select Observations on English Bodies " — the Case 
 Book of Dr. Hall, Shakespeare's son-in-law, a remarkable 
 record of local practice as a physician, and now very rarely 
 found. 
 
 Many others of the printed books are extremely rare
 
 169 
 
 and valuable. Among them are the Palladis Tamia, 1598, 
 with the earliest list of Shakespeare's Plays. Love's 
 Labours Lost, 1598, the first work with Shakespeare's 
 name; King Lear, "as plaid before the King's Majesty 
 at White Hall, upon S. Stephen's Night in Christmas 
 hollidaies," 1608 ; a MS. of 1607, the only one known in a 
 contemporary private library in which Shakespeare's 
 works are mentioned ; the very rare edition of his Poems, 
 1640, with Marshall's still rarer portrait of Shakespeare ; 
 Laneham's account of Kenilworth, Black Letter, 1575, of 
 extreme rarity and value ; and two examples of the very 
 rare Music of the time of Elizabeth, Morley's First Book of 
 Ayres, 1600 (with " It was a lover and his lass," in As You 
 Like It), and a rarer MS. of Giles Lodge, 1 591, with " apt 
 notes" of old songs and ballads. Among the many other 
 rarities are Heywood's Apology, 161 2, Nashe's Pierce 
 Pennilesse, 1592, one of the earliest Play Bills known, and 
 hundreds of others rare or unique, and each and all more 
 or less largely illustrating some detail of Shakespeare's life 
 and works and times. 
 
 These Shakespearean Rarities have not merely a personal 
 or dramatic interest. They illustrate not only Shakespeare 
 and his native county, and not only the poet but the age 
 in which he lived. They have been collected by a com- 
 petent judge of what was known and what was wanted, and 
 have been preserved and annotated so as to be ready for 
 all research, and to leave little to be added, even by the 
 most diligent and generous searcher among the relics of 
 old times. 
 
 On consideration of this statement your Committee 
 requested the Chairman, Mr. Alderman Johnson, with Mr. 
 Samuel Timmins, Mr. Alderman Powell-Williams, M.P., and 
 the Chief Librarian, Mr. J. D. Mullins, to inspect the collec- 
 tion which is now deposited for safe custody in two rooms 
 in the Safe Deposit in Chancery Lane, London. The result 
 of the inspection has been to convince the deputation of 
 the great intrinsic value of the majority of the items in 
 the collection. Every book, print and engraving, and 
 manuscript is so well bound or mounted as to be ready for 
 reference and use. The twenty-one volumes of drawings 
 and engravings supply to a large extent the loss which the 
 Library sustained by the destruction of the Staunton 
 Collection, in the fire of 1879. It is not possible to 
 estimate exactly the money value of the Collection, but
 
 I/O 
 
 your Committee, on the best estimate they can form, are of 
 opinion that Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps has not over-estimated 
 its value. 
 
 There can be no doubt that the possession of this unique 
 Collection, and that of our Shakespeare Library, would 
 attract to Birmingham an increasing number of persons, and 
 would make the City second only to Stratford in its interest 
 as an attraction to lovers of Shakespeare from all parts of 
 the civilized world. 
 
 While, therefore, fully recognizing the pressing necessity 
 of providing additional Branch Libraries as recommended 
 in the former part of this Report, your Committee hope 
 that the Council will consent to the purchase of this 
 Collection.
