THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
THIRD EDITION, 1612.
and there was no pagination. The reprint of *The Passionate Pilgrim* followed the example of the original edition in leaving the *verso* of the leaves blank through the first three sheets A–C. Sheet D was differently treated. The type was set on both sides of the page, with the result that the text ended on the *verso* of D5, and did not reach as in the first edition the *verso* of D7. The second title reappears on C3, with the altered date 1612, thus:—
Sonnets: To sundry Notes of Musicke [scroll device] At London Printed by W. Iaggard 1612.
No. III. Bodleian copy, 1612.
The Bodleian copy, which measures $4\frac{3}{4}'' \times 3\frac{3}{4}''$', is in the Malone collection. It is numbered Malone 328, and bears a manuscript note signed ‘E. M.’ and dated October 22, 1785. Malone there points out that Heywood’s translations from Ovid were generally assumed to be by Shakespeare until Dr. Farmer noted their true authorship in 1766. The copy is peculiar in having two title-pages, of which one has the words *By W. Shakespeare*, in the central space, and the other is without them. There is no question that Shakespeare’s name was removed by the publisher Jaggard, at the request either of Shakespeare or of Heywood, and that the title-page bearing Shakespeare’s name was cancelled and another substituted to accompany late impressions of the book. By a happy accident the two titles survive together in Malone’s copy. The title which lacks Shakespeare’s name is not known to be extant anywhere else.
No. IV. The Love-day copy, 1612.
The second copy, which measures $4\frac{11}{4}'' \times 3\frac{1}{4}''$, belongs to Mr. John E. T. Loveday of Williamscote, near Banbury. The title-page has in the centre the words *By W. Shakespeare*. The existence of this copy was only made known in 1882. It was originally bound in rough calf with five other rare tracts of contemporary date. *The Passionate Pilgrim* occupied the second place. The volume bore on the fly-leaf the words:
‘e libris Jac: Merrick
e. coll. Tr: Oxon
1738’
The inscription is in the handwriting of the former owner,
