THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM
Sundry Notes³ were each introduced by a separate title-page, of which the imprint ran: ‘London, Printed in the year 1599.’ In the preliminary ‘Advertisement’ Lintott wrote: ‘The Remains of Mr. William Shakespeare call’d *The Passionate Pilgrime* & Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Musick (at the end of this collection) came into my hands in a little stitch’d Book, printed at *London* for *W.

The new title-page was curiously inaccurate as to the date of the first edition of Shakespeare’s narrative poems and of *The Passionate Pilgrim*. The words ran: ‘A Collection of Poems in Two Volumes: being all The miscellanies of Mr. William Shakespeare, which were Publish’d by himself in the year 1609, and now correctly Printed from these Editions.’ There were at least two impressions of this ‘Collection in Two Volumes’. In one of these impressions *The Passionate Pilgrim* and ‘Sonnets to Sundry Notes’ bore the correct date of 1599. In another impression, the title-pages were reprinted with the date changed to 1609. There is no ground for assuming that Lintott knew of an edition, belonging to that year, of *The Passionate Pilgrim*, or of the appended ‘Sonnets to Sundry Notes’. The date was invented to agree with that of the first edition of the *Sonnets*.

This edition formed an unauthorized ‘Seventh’ or supplementary volume to Rowe’s more or less critical edition of Shakespeare’s Plays of 1709. This supplement was undertaken by Edmund Curll, the notorious printer-publisher, with the editorial assistance of Charles Gildon. Rowe’s publisher, Jacob Tonson, had
