 The Collection described in the following pages was com- 
 menced nearly ten years ago, with the intention of making it 
 embrace the best editions of the most prominent authors 
 known in English literature, especially in the departments of 
 History, Poetry, and the Drama. 
 
 In the selection of copies great care was taken to secure 
 only such as were in the finest condition and upon large 
 paper, when the work desired had been issued in that form ; 
 and preference was always given to copies in an uncut state, 
 that they might be bound in an appropriate manner by the 
 most eminent binders of London. 
 
 It is believed that the collection of books privately printed, 
 or upon large paper, is the most extensive ever offered for 
 sale in this country, the volumes upon large paper alone being 
 upwards of four hundred in number, — nearly all in splen- 
 did bindings. All of the finest large paper productions of 
 the " Riverside Press " — Bacon, Burton, D 'Israeli, Mon- 
 taigne, etc. — are represented here. Many of the splendid 
 large paper books that were in the Crowninshield library will 
 be noticed on this Catalogue. 
 
 The owner has had a special taste for the elegant publica- 
 tions of the late William Pickering (the well-known London 
 publisher) ; and a larger collection will be found upon the 
 Catalogue than can probably be met with in any other li- 
 brary, exceeding, as it does', that formed by Mr. Eyton by 
 nearly one hundred volume's. The- following deserve'- especial 
 
VI 
 
 attention : Shaw's Dresses and Decorations of the Middle 
 Ages, Illuminated Ornaments, Decorative Arts of the Middle 
 Ages, Elizabethan Architecture, Ancient Furniture, Encyclo- 
 paedia of Ornament, all upon large paper, extra finished by 
 hand in gold and colors ; Walton and Cotton's Complete 
 Angler, containing duplicate impressions of all the engravings, 
 artist's proofs upon India paper, superbly bound in Levant 
 morocco by Hayday ; Bacon's Works, edited by Basil Mon- 
 tagu, a magnificent copy upon large paper ; a complete set of 
 the " Oxford English Classics " (Boswell's Life of Johnson ; 
 Cribbons Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ; Hume's 
 History of England, with Smollett's Continuation ; Johnson's 
 Works ; and Robertson's Historical Works) in 44 volumes, all 
 upon large paper, and mostly in full bindings by Hayday ; a 
 superb set of the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, (contain- 
 ing every work of that author ever issued by Pickering, and, 
 in addition, those published by Moxon and Murray after the 
 death of the former,) in 32 volumes, uniformly bound by 
 Riviere in the finest style of tree calf, with gilt edges ; and a 
 complete set of the Aldine Edition of the British Poets, in 
 53 volumes, choicely bound by Hayday in claret morocco, 
 with gilt edges. 
 
 The department of History is represented by fine copies of 
 Burnet's Own Times, and Reformation; Lord Clarendon's 
 Life, and Great Civil War ; Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the 
 Roman Empire ; Robertson's Historical Works; Strype's An- 
 nals, and Ecclesiastical Memorials ; Hume's England, with 
 Smollett's Continuation of it ; and Bancroft's United States ; 
 all upon large paper, and, with but two exceptions (Gibbon 
 and Bancroft) in splendid bindings by Hayday. 
 
 The principal volumes of Early English Literature are The 
 Workes of Sir Thomas More, folio, 1557, a very fine copy in 
 blue morocco, containing the autograph of Dr. John Donne ; 
 Brant's Ship of Fooles, folio, 1570, a splendid copy in red 
 Russia, super extra ; Holinshed's Chronicles, 2 vols., folio, 
 1557, the Shakespeare edition, in brown morocco ; Chapman's 
 
vn 
 
 Translation of the Whole Works of Homer, folio, n. cl. (circa 
 1611, 1614, 1624) 3 vols, in 1, olive morocco extra ; and 
 Hey wood's Hierarchie of the Blessed Angells, folio, 1635, mo- 
 rocco, gilt. 
 
 There are, also, splendid copies of the Percy and Shake- 
 speare Society's publications, and a complete set of Mitson's 
 Collection of Ballads, etc., all elegantly bound. 
 
 There is a fair collection of works on Bibliography and 
 the early history of Printing, including some 15 volumes of 
 Bibdin's Works ; Martin's Catalogue of Books privately print- 
 ed, a splendid copy upon large paper ; Lowndes's Bibliogra- 
 pher's Manual, Pickering's edition ; Sotheby's Principia Typ- 
 ographica, and the rare companion volume, The Typography 
 of the Fifteenth Century, of which only one hundred copies 
 were printed ; and the reprints of the Biblia Pauperum and 
 Canticum Canticorum. 
 
 There are, also, extraordinarily fine copies of Sparks's 
 Washington, Franklin, and Correspondence of the American 
 Revolution, and the Works and Correspondence of Daniel Web- 
 ster, all upon large paper, and superbly bound, to match, in 
 tree calf, by Riviere, of London. 
 
 We desire to call especial attention to the fine collection of 
 editions of the Works of Shakespeare, the most important 
 being that of James Orchard Halliwell, Esq. This magnifi- 
 cent work is now rapidly approaching completion, (Vol. XIII. 
 having been received within a few days,) and is destined to 
 command a steadily increasing price, the number of copies 
 having been '■'■very strictly limited to one hundred and fifty'' 1 
 There is, also, a large paper copy of the edition by R. Grant 
 White, Esq., now so frequently quoted by English Shake- 
 spearian scholars. Large paper copies of this work are ex- 
 tremely scarce. There are several other fine editions, includ- 
 ing those of Dyce, Collier, Knight, Singer, upon large paper, 
 and Staunton. There are, also, splendid copies of the dra- 
 matic works of Ben Jonson, Massinger, Middleton, Otway, 
 Lilly, Shirley, Webster, (all upon large paper,) Beaumont 
 
Vlll 
 
 and Fletcher, Ford, Marston, Peele, Greene, and Marlowe ; a 
 fine large paper copy of Dodsley's Collection of Old Plays, 
 besides numerous copies of rare old Plays in the original 
 quarto editions. 
 
 The utmost reliance may be placed upon the description of 
 each work, no exaggeration having been used in regard to its 
 binding, size, or condition.

 N " All antient satirical writings, even those of an inferior cast, have their 
 
 r merit, and deserve attention, as they transmit pictures of familiar 
 
 manners, and preserve popular customs. In this light, at least, 
 
 Barclay's Ship of Fools, which is a general satire on the times, will 
 
 ^ be found entertaining. His author, Sebastian Brandt, appears to 
 
 \ have been a man of universal erudition ; and his work, for the most 
 
 part, is a, tissue of citations from the ancient poets and historians." 
 
 •^ — Warton. 
 
 ^ " The design of this work was to ridicule the prevailing follies and 
 
 vices of every rank and profession, under the allegory of a ship 
 freighted with fools, and in his metrical translation Barclay ha3 
 
 GIVEN A VARIETY OF CHARACTERS DRAWN EXCLUSIVELY FROM HIS 
 
 own countrymen, and added his advice to the various fools, which 
 possesses at least the merits of good sense and sound morality."

 This, the genuine large paper edition, was printed before any were

 were published upon small paper between the dates of the first and 
 second issues on large. The counterfeit can be readily detected, as 
 it is upon thinner paper, and without a date.

 " In the first edition of the Bibliomania is a curious note respecting 
 these poems, from which it appears that 500 copies were printed, 
 the major part of which were destroyed. 'My only consolation 
 is,' (says the author,) 'that the volume is exceedingly rare.' 
 Brockett's copy sold for £\ 2s., and Bindley's for £1 18s.'' — 
 Lowndes. 
 
 "Now of all Englishmen who have ever lived, there never was a 
 man better suited to make a dry study attractive, and a learned 
 subject plain, than Dr. Dibdin of Roxburghe memory. This 
 magician could with his pen dress up a begrimed, uncouth-look- 
 ing volume in more attractive style than could Grolier's binder 
 with his most cunning tools. He could convert ' Belindas ' and 
 ' Ahnasas ' into Bibliomaniacs, and make a dry catalogue of old 
 English poetry more attractive than the last novel. 
 
 "It was but necessary for him to apply the epithets 'excessively 
 rare,' or ' exceedingly curious,' and the neglected Caxton in your 
 garret would buy you a year's clothing for your household, and 
 the old family Bible would defray your Christmas festivities." —

 " The Bibliomania is written in dialogues or conversations, the char- 
 acters introduced are well-known book collectors of the author's 
 acquaintance. The great value of the work is in the notes, 
 which abound with anecdotes of Books and Book Collectors, and 
 an account of the rarer articles in their collections, and the prices 
 at which they were sold, extracted from the sale catalogues. It 
 will be always consulted as an authority." — Lowndes. 
 
 " You have contrived to strew flowers over a path which, in other 
 hands, would have proved a very dull one ; and all Bibliomanes 
 must remember you long, as he who first united their antiquarian 
 details with good-humoured raillery and cheerfulness." — Sir Wal- 
 ter Scott to Dr. Dibdin.

 speare ; in it Greene says " there is an upstart Crow, beautified 
 with our Feathers, that with his Tygres heart, wrapt in a Players 
 hyde, supposes hee is as well able to bombast out a Blanke verse, as 
 the best of you : and being an absolute Iohannes factotum, is in 
 his owne conceyt the onely Shake-scene in a Countrey."

 felt in any other similar production." Dr. D. furnished the Intro-

 Excessively kabe. Joseph Lilly advertised a copy, like the above, in 
 May, 1861, at £31 10s., and a copy of the Hymns, in June, 1857, at 
 £12 12s. This copy is entirely complete, with all the frontispieces. 
 That to the Hymns is so rare as to be almost unknown. The fron- 
 tispiece to the Odysses is nearly as rare as that to the Hymns. The 
 last editor of Chapman's translation of Homer, Richard Hooper, 
 Esq., of Oxford, says, " the engraved title to the Odyssey is very 
 rare." The engraved title to the Hymns is by Win. Pass ; it has 
 at the bottom a portrait of Chapman at an advanced age ; Cole- 
 ridge says of it "it is full of spirit and passion.' J 
 
 N/ " Chapman is the only writer who has translated the whole of the works 
 
 ^ ascribed to Homer." — Hooper, Introd. to the Hymns (J. R. Smith's 
 
 reprint, 1858) p. x. 
 
 N^ "It (the Iliad) is as truly an original poem as the Faery Queene; it 
 
 ^> will give you small idea of Homer, though a far truer one than 
 
 ^ Pope's epigrams, or Cowper's cumbersome most anti-Homeric Mil- 
 
 tonism. For Chapman writes and feels as a poet, — as Homer 
 might have written had he lived in England in the reign of Queen 
 Elizabeth." — Coleridge's Lectures, %-c, Vol. II. 231.

 old book has been reproduced. 
 
 " With regard to the contents of Joe Miller's Jests, the plain-spoken 
 words used are neither better nor worse than those in any other 
 similar collection of the period. It is to be regretted that the 
 author did not employ expressions a little less coarse than he has

 Chalmers, in his Life of "Wilkes, says of the Essay on "Woman, 
 " This was an obscene poem, which he printed at his private 
 press, but can scarcely be said to hare published it, as he printed 
 only a very small number of copies (about twelve) to give away 
 to certain friends." 
 
 "Walpole, in a letter to Lord Hertford, says, " Mr. Kidgell, a clergy- 
 man, had obtained from a printer a copy of the ' Essay on Wom- 
 an,' which he felt it his duty to denounce. His own personal 
 character turned out far from being respectable."

 Lilly's Works are valuable as exhibiting the manners of the age in 
 
 ■which he lived. 
 " The Euphues of Lilly deserves notice on account of the influence 
 
 it had upon the Court of Elizabeth and the public taste, which is 
 
 manifested in the literature of the age.

 " Shakspeare has ridiculed this style in ' Love's Labour Lost/ 
 Jonsou in ' Every Man out of his Humour,' and Sir Walter Scott 
 in one of his novels, but bearing little resemblance to the real 
 Euphues." — Haltam. 
 
 " These productions did incalculable mischief by vitiating the taste, 
 corrupting the language, and introducing a spurious and unnatural 
 mode of conversation and action." — Gifford. 
 
 " Lilly was a pedantic and affected writer, with considerable talents, 
 not indeed for the drama, but for the rude, verbose romance of 
 those days, and which had a striking influence not only on our 
 colloquial, but written language." — Gifford.

 Vert eaee. Entirely perfect, having the unpaged leaf be- 
 tween leaves 1138 and 1139, also, the eight leaves at the 
 commencement, containing the poems " Mayster Thomas More 
 wrote in his youth for his pastime," namely, "A mery jest how a 
 sargeant would learne to playe the frere." Another of the poems 
 is to a Pageant representing the various ages of a man's life, which 
 Shakespeare, no doubt, must have perused, and on which he 
 founded his celebrated description of the seven ages of man's 
 life. "Aruful lamentacion (writen by Master Thomas More in 
 his youth ) of the deth of quene Elizabeth, mother to king Henry 
 the eight, wife to king Henry the seveth, and eldest doughter to 
 king Edward the fourth, which quene Elizabeth dyed in child- 
 bed in February in the yere of our lord, 1503, and in the 18. yere 
 of the raigne of king Henry the seventh." Also, " Certain me- 
 ters in english written by Master Thomas More in hys youth for 
 the boke of Fortune, and caused them to be printed in the begyn- 
 nyng of that boke."

 Charles Baldwyn, London, 1824 
 
 Lowndes says that this edition " was edited by P. W. Dodd." This 
 is erroneous. The error was repeated by Bohn in his reissue of 
 Lowndes. 
 
 This copy formerly belonged to the. Editor (Brownlow Waight) who 
 has inserted in his own handwriting the following statement : — 
 
 "In the year 1823 I was employed by Mr. Baldwyn, the Bookseller 
 of Newgate Street, in collecting materials for a life of Sir Robert 
 Naunton to prefix to this new edition of his 'Fragmenta Regalia.' 
 Materials for a life of Sir Robert I found were very scarce : in 
 the British Museum I found three perfect MS. copies of the Frag- 
 menta (one of which I have no doubt was in the handwriting of 
 Sir Robert himself), I had the 12mo. 1694 edition which I care- 
 fully collated with all the three MS. copies at the Museum, and 
 noticed every various reading in each copy, so that this edition 
 might have the benefit of the whole ; but where any doubt has 
 arisen, the text of the MS. written by Sir Robert has been adopted : 
 and I have no hesitation in declaring this edition to be the most 
 perfect of any. 
 
 " The Press was superintended and revised by an accomplished and 
 amiable young man, Mr. Dodd, of Judd Place, New Road, Som- 
 ers Town." — {Extract from the Editor's letter.)

 Fikst edition. The second edition, which wa9 published in 1579, 
 was long supposed to he the first impression of the work, although 
 the Registers of the Stationers Company show that a license to 
 issue it was granted to "George Bisshop'' on the 2d of Decem- 
 ber, 1577. This edition bears no date, but it was published no 
 later than 1578, and it probably appeared some time during the last 
 month of 1577. 
 
 Ritson mentions only the edition of 1579, and does it in a manner 
 that indicates that he knew of none earlier. See his Bibliographia 
 Poetica, pp. 288-9. 
 
 The Shakespeare Society reprinted it in 1843. The editor, J. Payne 
 Collier, Esq., says in his Introduction, " Although dramatic per- 
 formances in England had been incidentally condemned in several 
 anterior productions, the tract now reprinted is the earliest sepa- 
 rate and systematic attack upon them." 
 
 Of its rarity, Mr. Collier remarks, " Malone could never procure the 
 tract : he conjectured that it first appeared ' about the year 1579 
 or 1580/ and the only copies with which we are acquainted are the 
 one in the British Museum, and that from which our transcript 
 was made." 
 
 A few pieces of poetry are scattered through the work. 
 
 This copy is entirely complete, and is in a fine brown morocco bind- 
 ing, lightly tooled on the back and sides, and with gilt leaves.

 Sir John Davies, were ordered to be burnt at Stationer's Hall, in 
 1599, by command of the Archbishop of Canterbury (Whitgift), 
 and the Bishop of London (Bancroft), which satisfactorily accounts 
 for their rarity. 
 
 " As "Warton observes, the Elegies ' convey obscenities of the brothel 
 in elegant language, but are seldom tinctured with the sentiments 
 of a serious and melancholy love.' The translation of Elegy 15, 
 lib. I. by B. J., was probably by Ben Jonson ; and if so, must 
 have been his. earliest printed production." — Bib. Ang. Poetica.

 Charles B. Richardson, New York, 1862 
 
 The copy of the original edition in the Crowninshield library was 
 sold by its purchaser, Henry Stevens, of London, to the British 
 Museum for one hundred and fifty guineas. 
 
 " In the reproduction of this quaint volume every word, every letter, 
 and indeed every point has been sedulously collated with a perfect 
 impression of the original work struck at Cambridge in the year 
 1640. Indeed, so exact and faithful has the compositor been in 
 following the original copj% that the bad spacing, omission of 
 spaces, irregular justification, bad divisions, broken type, letters 
 inverted, mixed lower-case letters with italics, and typographical 
 errors, are strictly reproductions of the printer's errors of the 
 olden time." — Preface. 
 
 A short account of the Press that put forth " The Whole Booke of 
 Psalmes " will, we trust, be found to possess some degree of interest. 
 Stephen Daye, the printer of the edition of 1640, came to New 
 England in 1638, and was placed " by the Magistrates and El- 
 ders " in charge of a press at Cambridge. The first piece of work 
 done by him was styled "The Freeman's Oath," (probably a sin- 
 gle sheet) ; this was followed by " An Almanack, calculated for 
 New England, by Mr. Pierce, Mariner." In 1640 appeared the 
 " Psalms." 
 
 Daye's control of the Press ended about the latter part of 1648. He 
 was succeeded by Samuel Green, who was placed in charge of it 
 
99 
 
 by Dunster. Green carried on the establishment until his death 
 in 1702. 
 Thomas says, in his " History of Printing in America," Vol. I. p. 251, 
 " No printing was done at Cambridge after Green's death. Soon 
 after his decease, the printing materials were removed from Cam- 
 bridge." No Press now established there can trace back its origin 
 to the time of Stephen Daye.

 " We think that Mr. White combines in larger proportion than any- 
 other editor with whose labors we are acquainted, those qualifica- 
 tions essential for a perfect editor of Shakspeare. He has an 
 acuteness in tracing the finer fibres of thought worthy of the keen- 
 est lawyer on the scent of a devious trail of circumstantial evi- 
 dence ; he has a sincere desire to illustrate his author rather than 
 himself; lie is a man of the world, as well as a scholar ; he com- 
 prehends the mastery of imagination, and that it is the essential ele- 
 ment as well of poetry as of profound thinking ; a critic of music, 
 he appreciates the importance of rhythm as the higher mystery of 
 versification. The sum of his qualifications is large, and his work 
 is honorable to American letters. 
 
 "Each play is preceded by an Introduction, remarkably well digested 
 and condensed, giving an account of the text, and of the sources 
 from which Shakspeare helped himself to plots or incidents. We 
 cannot but commend highly the self-restraint which marks these 
 brief and pithy prefaces, and the pertinency of every sentence to 
 the matter in hand. We yield the more credit to Mr. White's self- 
 denial in this respect, because his notes prove him to be capable 
 of profound as well as delicate and sympathetic exegesis, and w3 
 think that a careful collation justifies us in saying that in acute 
 discrimination of esthetic shades of expression, and often of text- 
 ual niceties, Mr. White is superior to any previous editor.

 '■ After such conscientious examination of his work as the impor- 
 tance of it demands, after a painful comparison, note by note, and 
 reading by reading, of his edition with those of Messrs. Knight, 
 Collier, and Dyce, our opinion of his ability and fitness for his task 
 has been heightened and confirmed. Not that we always agree 
 witli him; — but Mr. White has generally shown so just a dis- 
 crimination, that there are few instances where we dissent. We 
 have subjected his volumes to a laborious examination such as few 
 books receive, because the text of Shakspeare is a matter of com- 
 mon and great concern, and they have borne the trial, except in a 
 few impertinent particulars, admirably. Mr. Dyce and Mr. Singer 
 are only dry commonplace-books of illustrative quotations ; Mr. 
 Collier has not wholly recovered from bis ' corr. fo.' madness ; 
 Mr. Knight (with many eminent advantages as an editor) is too 
 diffuse; and we repeat our honest persuasion, that Mr. White has 
 thus far given us the best extant text, while the fulness of his 
 notes gives his edition almost the value of a variorum." — James 
 Russell Lowell. 
 644 Shakespeare, "William. The Works of, Edited by William 
 George Clark, M. A., Trin. Coll., Cambridge, and John 
 Glover, M. A., Trin. Coll., Cambridge. Vols. I II. 111. 
 8vo., hoards, uncut. London, 1863 
 
 The text is based on u collation of the Polio and Quarto editions 
 of each play, and of subsequent editions. These collations are 
 placed at the foot of the page. 
 G45 SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM. The Works of; The Text 
 formed from a new Collation of the Early Editions, to 
 which are Added all the Original Novels and Tales on 
 which the Plays are Founded ; Copious Archaeological 
 Annotations on each Play ; an Essay on the Formation 
 of the Text ; and a life of the Poet ; by James O. Hal- 
 liwell, Esq. The Illustrations and wood-engravings by 
 Frederick William Fairholt, Esq. Vols. I. to XIII. 
 Folio, half morocco, edges entirely untrimmed. 
 
 Privately printed: and only 150 copies ; see Mr. Halli- 
 well's and Mr. Adlard's (the printer) autograph attesta- 
 tions on the fly-leaf . This is No. 35. London, 1853-G4 
 
 The first volume of this magnificent edition of the entire works 
 of SiiAKiiSPEAEE was issued in 1853, under the following con- 
 ditions : — 
 
 " 1. The impression of this edition of Shakespeare will be most 
 strictly limited to one hundred and fifty copies, and each 
 copy will have the printer's autograph certificate that that 
 limit has been preserved. 
 
llo 
 
 "2. The work will be completed in about fifteen folio volumes. 
 "3. All the plates and wood-cuts used for this work will be de- 
 stroyed, and no separate impressions of any of them will be 
 taken off." 
 
 In the original Prospectus the Editor says, " Each play will be ac- 
 companied by every kind of useful literary and antiquarian illus- 
 tration, copious philological notes, complete copies of all novels, 
 talcs, or dramas on which it is founded, entire impressions of the 
 first sketches and all documents of a really illustrative charac- 
 ter. Some of these will be novelties to the student ; others will be 
 collected from a variety of sources not readily accessible, being dis- 
 persed through a number of volumes, some of great rarity ; while 
 the reprints of ancient tracts already well known to Shakespearian 
 readers, the insertion of which is of course a matter of absolute 
 necessity in a monograph design, will be carefully re-collated with 
 the originals. In fact, no pains will be spared to render this edi- 
 tion the most complete in every respect that has yet been pro- 
 duced ; superseding entirely the variorum edition of 1821, with 
 the addition of all Shakespearian discoveries of any importance 
 which have been made since that period. The work will be copi- 
 ously illustrated by fac-similes and wood-cuts, the direction of which 
 has been undertaken by Mr. Fairholt, who has also most kindly 
 promised to assist me in the selection. 
 
 " The engravings throughout will be rigidly restricted to subjects 
 which really elucidate the text, giving representations of articles 
 mentioned by Shakespeare, or to which he may refer, however slight- 
 ly, thus serving as pictorial notes to his works. In the case of the 
 historic plays, monumental effigies of the principal characters, per- 
 sonal reliques, or antique views of places alluded to, will be admis- 
 sible ; but in no case will truthfulness be sacrificed, or a false taste 
 for meretricious picture-making allowed. The engravings will be 
 rigid fac-similes of the original subjects in all cases, and will de- 
 pend on their own intrinsic merit as Shakespearian illustrations." 
 
 The thirteen volumes already issued contain, The Life of the Poet ; 
 An Essay on the Formation of the Text ; The Tempest ; The 
 Two Gentlemen of Verona; The Merry Wives of Windsor; Meas- 
 ure for Measure ; the Comedy of Errors; Much Ado about Noth- 
 ing ; Love's Labour Lost ; a Midsummer Night's Dream ; The 
 Merchant of Venice ; As You Like It ; The Taming of the Shrew ; 
 All's Well that Ends Well ; Twelfth Night, or, What You Will ; 
 The Winter's Tale ; King John ; Richard the Second ; both Part3 
 of Henry the Fourth ; Henry the Fifth ; the three Parts of Henry 
 the Sixth; Richard the Third; Henry the Eighth; Troilus and 
 Cressida ; Coriolanus ; Titus Andronicus ; Romeo and Juliet ; 
 Timon of Athens ; and Julius Caesar,— in all, thirty Plays. Seven 
 Plays and all the Poems are yet to appear ; these will probably be 
 contained in three more volumes. 
 
116 
 
 The illustrations on stone and wood are quite numerous, numbering 
 already upwards of 975 in the thirteen volumes that have been pub- 
 lished. Among them are fac-similes of the title-pages of some of 
 the early Quarto editions of the Plays, old Black letter Ballads, 
 etc., etc. 
 
 As the subscription to the whole work was paid in advance, the pur- 
 chaser will receive the forthcoming volumes without further ccst 
 than that necessary to defray the expenses of shipment from Lon- 
 don.
