BODLEIAN. 64 x 4". Small wormhole in top margin throughout; title badly stained. Note by Malone: "In Pope's list he gives the title of this play (of which he had only one copy) exactly as it stands here, except that he has given no date, from which it has been supposed that there is another edition published by Thos. Walkley without a date, and not long after Shakespeare's death. Perhaps the date was cut off from his copy. In 70 years no undated copy of this play has been discovered, which makes me doubt whether it ever existed. The Quarto copies which had belonged to Pope, afterwards fell into the hands of Warburton, who put them into Mallet's Sale in 1766; but I know not to whom they were sold. If they could be recovered, this point might be ascertained. That Pope's copy had no date appears from his inferring from Walkley's preface that the play was published soon after Shakespeare's death: which he need not have done if his copy had had the date; but I have no doubt that the date was wanting merely by being cut off which frequently happens in old plays. The gentleman who possesses the two 4to vols above mentioned could ascertain the point". The Malone (presented, 1821) copy. Inlaid and bound with other plays in Vol. V. Pressmark, Malone, 36.
