SIXTH EDITION, 1624.
No. XXII. Mr. Dwight Church's copy.
measures $ \frac{3}{4}'' \times 3\frac{3}{4}'' $, and is bound with four other poetical tracts of like date.
Four other copies are now in America. The best belongs to Mr. E. Dwight Church. It was in the eighteenth century the property of Sir John Fenn (1739–94), the editor of the ‘Paston Letters’. A subsequent owner was Philip Howard Frere (1813–68). It is a fine and clean copy. Sir John Fenn cut out the woodcut and imprint of the title-page, placing the excised slips in his collection of cuttings. These were discovered in a scrapbook formerly in the possession of Sir John Fenn, by Dr. Aldis Wright, who replaced them in the title-page of the copy, while Frere was its owner. The copy passed into the hands of the American collector, Thomas Jefferson McKee, at whose sale in 1901 it was acquired by the present owner. The size of the leaf is $ \frac{3}{4}'' \times 3\frac{3}{4}'' $. The volume is bound in green levant morocco.
The Rowfant copy, which formerly belonged to Frederick Locker Lampson, has the inscription on title-page: ‘Pretium 4 N: L: S:’. It measures $ \frac{3}{4}'' \times 3\frac{3}{4}'' $. It at one time belonged to Narcissus Luttrell (1657–1732), and seems to have been sold at the Ouvry sale in 1882, for £31, to Messrs. Ellis and White, the booksellers of Bond Street. It was acquired by Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., booksellers of New York, in 1904.
The copy belonging to Mr. Folger, of New York, seems to have been sold at Sotheby’s in a miscellaneous sale on June 18, 1903, and bought by Messrs. Sotheran for £130. A few headlines are shaved.
A copy belonging to Mr. Marsden J. Perry, of Providence, formerly belonged to Halliwell[-Phillipps], who paid Quaritch £42 for it in November, 1885. It measures $ \frac{3}{4}'' \times 3\frac{3}{4}'' $.
In the seventh edition of 1632, the signatures run A in fours, B–D7 in eights; B4 is misprinted B2. On the last page (D7 verso) the word ‘Finis’ is followed by a wood-cut with the motto *In Domino confido*. The typography is distinguished by the excessive use of italics for ordinary words. The leaves number thirty. There is no pagination.
No. XXIII. Dodd, Mead & Co.’s (Rowfant) copy.
No. XXIV. Mr. Folger’s copy.
No. XXV. Mr. Perry’s copy.
SEVENTH EDITION, 1632.
