SEVENTH EDITION, 1632.
survival of any other copy of the 1632 edition. Halliwell-Phillipps had, in his Folio Shakespeare (1865), dated this defective copy before 1616, assigning it tentatively to the year 1610, but his final opinion that it was issued in 1632 is undoubtedly right.
No. XXX.
Mr. Perry's copy.
The copy belonging to Mr. Marsden J. Perry, of Providence, was purchased for £75 at the Halliwell-Phillipps sale, in 1889. It measures 5 1/8" × 3 5/8", and is bound in red morocco, by Lortic frères. Some of the lower and outer leaves are uncut.
EIGHTH EDITION, 1655.

To Woemen Kinde, to have more Greife, then Tongue.
Will: Gilbirson: John Stafford excud.
