4^o. (7 × 5). S. 18. 2.

Collation: A-L^4, unpaged. Wanting sig. A and L 4 (A 1 and L4 ?
blank). The two leaves after the titlepage contain address to the
reader signed Henry Olney, list of errata, and four sonnets by
Henry Constable. There appears to have been another issue the same
year differing in titlepage and preliminary matter only. It is
entitled 'The Defence of Poesie', is printed for William Ponsonby
and does not contain the Constable sonnets. It was under this title
and without the sonnets that it was included among the collected
works in the 'Arcadia'.

The Countesse of Pembrokes Arcadia, written by Sir Philippe Sidnei. _London Printed by Iohn Windet, for william Ponsonbie. Anno Domini_, 1590.

4^o. (7-1/4 × 5-1/4). R. 10.

With the Sidney arms on the titlepage. Collation: A^4B-2Z^8, folios
numbered. Wanting A 1 (? blank). Epistle dedicatory to the Countess
of Pembroke, signed. Printer's note. This first edition is
imperfect, breaking off in the middle of the third book. The
division into chapters and the arrangement of the verse was the
work of the 'ouer-seer of the print'. The edition seems probably to
have been printed from a corrected copy of the first portion of the
romance left by Sidney in the hands of Fulke Greville, afterwards
Lord Brooke (see Greville to Walsingham, August 23, 1586, in the
State Papers, quoted by O. Sommer in Introd. to facsimile edition,
1891). The remainder of the romance was made up by the Countess of
Pembroke from Sidney's loose papers, and published by Ponsonby in
1593. The rarity of the present edition suggests that the
publication of the complete work was intrusted to Ponsonby on
condition of his recalling the earlier issue. The 1590 edition
cannot be regarded as surreptitious, but there was an attempt at a
surreptitious edition in 1586, of which Ponsonby gave warning to
Greville. This seems to be the only recorded copy having the
printer's name on the titlepage, which is otherwise printed from
the same setting up of the type. The text is identical, but slight
differences in the type seem to point to the present being the
earlier issue.

B. (_i.e._ Richard Beling). At the end of the 'Arcadia' are
Sidney's miscellaneous poems, 'Defence of Poesie', 'Astrophel and
Stella' and the entertainment at Wansted ('The Lady of May'). This
is in reality the ninth edition.

described, is properly that of 1609.

this copy the quire signed ¶ is misplaced after the second
alphabet, an arrangement also found in the copy in the Cambridge
University Library. It is sometimes found at the end of the volume.
The inserted sheet contains titlepage and dedication to Queen
Elizabeth. The 'Faery Queen' is the same edition as above (1611),
but has the date 1612 on the titlepage to Part II; so also is sig.
¶ and the single quire A containing the 'Prosopopoia'. The
remainder is a very close reprint, the contents and collation being
identical. The separate titlepages have dates as follows (they are
all printed 'by H. L. for Mathew Lownes' except the first):
'Shepheards Calender' with imprint 'London, Printed by Bar: Alsop
for Iohn Harrison the elder, and are to bee solde at his shop at
the signe of the golden Anker in Pater Noster Row, 1617.'; 'Colin
Clout' undated, 'Prothalamion' etc. 1617. The peculiarities
observable in the various copies of the collected editions of 1611
and 1617 are best explained on the following hypothesis. On Sept.
3, 1604 W. Ponsonby assigned his right in both parts of the 'Faery
Queene' to S. Waterson, who on Nov. 5 in the same year passed it on
to M. Lownes, who published an edition in 1609. Two years later the
question of a collected edition of Spenser's works arose. Lownes
caused a complete edition to be printed, and at the same time
determined to use up the remaining copies of the 1609 'Faery
Queen'. Instead however of printing the new titlepage on A 1 he
caused a single sheet to be printed containing title and
dedication, which could be substituted for the 1609 title. A 1
consequently remained blank in the new edition as it is found in
the present copy, and the title-sheet was inserted after it. The
result of using up the 1609 edition was that the stock of some of
the additional matter in the 1611 edition was exhausted before the
stock of the 'Faery Queen'. In 1617 a new title-sheet was printed
and prefixed to the remainder stock, the additional pieces being
reprinted when necessary. Even now some of the original copies of
1609 remained and were issued with the general title and additional
matter dated 1617. A copy in this state is in the Library. The
first part to run out was the fourth alphabet containing 'Colin
Clout' etc., which is always found reprinted in copies having the
1617 titlepage. Perhaps the next was the 'Prosopopoia' which is
found dated 1613 in the present copy, but which is undated in the
copy in the Cambridge University Library. This last-mentioned copy
however has the original edition of the 'Shepherds Calender' dated
1611, while the present copy has the reprint of 1617. How this came
to bear the imprint given above requires explanation. The editions
of the 'Calender' of 1581 to 1597 were all printed for John
Harrison the younger (_i.e._ John Harrison II) and he probably
objected when Lownes issued the work with his own name as publisher
in the collected edition of 1611. Before the reprint however was
required John Harrison the elder (_i.e._ John Harrison I) either
died or retired from business (1616), whereupon John Harrison II
assumed the style of 'the elder' to distinguish himself from a John
Harrison IV who had started business in 1603.

MANUSCRIPTS.

Catalogue of a Collection intitl'd Shakesperiana; comprehending All the several Editions of the Works of Shakespeare, old & new; divers rare old Editions of Writers, prose-men & verse-men; with a Variety of other Articles, chiefly such as tend to illustrate him;--made by his last Editor, E. C; and by him deposited in the Library of Trinity College in Cambridge, this eleventh Day of Iune in the Year 1779.

large 4^o. (11 × 9).

An alphabetical index to the books in the collection, in Capell's
own handwriting. At the end is inserted a leaf containing a list of
'Quarto's wanted' to complete the collection of Shakespearian
editions. Of this list thirty copies were privately printed by
Steevens in 1780, and it was also reprinted in Hartshorne's 'Book
Rarities of Cambridge' in 1829. The list is not very accurate and
there are many omissions. It inserts, moreover, as if in the
collection, many editions which it never contained, Capell having
intended to make the list of Shakespearian quartos complete by
reference to other collections when his own failed. In the inside
of the cover is the following inscription: 'June 26. 1779. Ordered
by the Master and Seniors, agreeably to the express Desire of M^r.
Capel, that the whole Collection given by him be kept together in
the same Class; and that no Manuscript or Book belonging to it be
taken out of the Library on any Pretence whatever. J. Peterborough
M C.' There are also three documents inserted relating to articles
in the collection. One of these runs 'Effigies William Shakespeare
Britanni ad fidem tabellæ unicæ manu Richard Burbage depictæ (circa
annum, ut videtur, 1609) per R. Barret Londinensem quam exactissimè
expressa anno 1759, curantibus David Garrick et Edward Capell.
Capell's Collection given to y^e College 1779'. Another is headed
'Extract of a letter to M^r. Capell, that accompany'd a Cast from
the face of Shakespear's monument at Stratford, dated Dec^r. 13.
1780.'. The portrait and cast are both in the Library. The third is
a list of certain books in Capell's handwriting. There has also
been added to the collection a fine medallion head of Capell,
engraved by Bartolozzi after a plaster model taken from life by
Roubilliac in 1750.

Mr William Shakespeare his Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies, set out by himself in quarto, or by the Players his Fellows in folio, and now faithfully republish'd from those Editions in ten volumes octavo; with an Introduction: Whereunto will be added, in some other Volumes, Notes, criticall and explanatory, and a Body of Various Readings entire.

_London: Printed for &c._ 1768.

6 vols. large 4^o. (11-3/4 × 9-1/4). MS. 1.

Epistle dedicatory to the Duke of Grafton, signed and dated 'Essex
Court in the Temple Nov. 9^th'. 1766, altered to 1767 as in printed
edition. At the end of vol. vi is inserted a printed table as in
MS. 3. The date at which Capell began and ended each play is
entered, but these dates do not run consecutively through the
volumes as finally bound up. The earliest date is that to the
'Merry Wives of Windsor', begun Nov. 25, 1749, and ended Jan. 18,
1750; the latest that to the 'Taming of the Shrew', begun July 4,
1766 and ended Aug. 1 of the same year. Whether these dates refer
to the actual construction of the text or merely to the present
transcript is not clear, but they certainly bear some relation to
the latter as may be seen from the handwriting which gradually
grows larger, heavier, and less easy to read, though always
distinguished by copperplate regularity.
