- THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM 53
not the production of our author?. In most of the editions of Shakespeare subsequent to the appearance of Malone’s ‘Supplement’ The Passionate Pilgrim has been accorded an independent place at the end of the poems.
## V
The Passionate Pilgrim reached three editions. Of the second no copy is known, and of the first and third only two in each instance are traceable. Of these four copies, two are in public libraries and two are in private hands. All are in England.
The first edition was issued in very small octavo. The signatures run A–D 8 in eights. Only A, A 3, A 4, B, B 3, C, D are noted. The leaves number thirty-two. There is no pagination. The first leaf, in the middle of which appears the signature A, and the last leaf, which is unsigned, are blank. A curious feature of the book is the circumstance that of the twenty-eight leaves which contain the text, twenty-five bear type on one side—the front side—only. The three concluding leaves, D 5, D 6, D 7, alone have type on both sides. On C 3 appears a second title:—SONNETS | To sundry notes of Musicke. | AT LONDON | Printed for W. Jaggard, and are | to be sold by W. Leake, at the Grey-hound in Paules Churchyard. | 1599. | As in many other small books of poetry of the period, each page of print has two linear ornaments—one above and another below the type.
Of the two extant copies of the first edition of 1599, one is in the Capell collection at Trinity College, Cambridge, and the other in the Christie Miller Library at Britwell.
The Capell copy measures $4\frac{3}{4}'' \times 3\frac{3}{4}''$. Its state is somewhat dirty, and the date on the second title-page has been
No. I.
The Capell copy, 1599.
