- SONNETS OF SHAKESPEARE 65
collection (G. 11181), measuring $6\frac{3}{4}'' \times 4\frac{3}{4}''$ and bound in red morocco, is in fine condition. This has the Aspley imprint. A few pages are stained. This is possibly the copy with Aspley imprint, priced at £30 in Messrs. Longman’s sale list, *Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica*, 1815, p. 301, which fetched £40 19s. od. at the sale of a portion of John Bellingham Inglis’ library in June, 1826.
The second Museum copy (C. 21. c. 44), which measures $7\frac{1}{2}'' \times 5\frac{3}{2}''$, has the title-page and last leaf in a dirty condition, but otherwise it is a good copy. Some pages are mended. It is bound in yellow morocco. It was apparently sold with the library of B. H. Bright in 1845 for £34 10s. od. It has the Wright imprint. It was reproduced in Shakspere-Quarto Facsimiles, No. 30, by Charles Praetorius in 1886.
Of the two copies in the Bodleian Library, the one which is reproduced here belongs to the Malone collection and is bound up with the first edition of *Lucrece*. It has the Aspley imprint, and measures $7\frac{3}{2}'' \times 5\frac{3}{2}''$, being inlaid on paper measuring $9\frac{3}{2}'' \times 7\frac{3}{2}''$. Malone acquired the volume in April, 1779, paying twenty guineas for the two quartos. He lent the volume to Steevens in the same year. Malone subsequently inlaid and bound up the two tracts with quarto editions of *Hamlet* (1607), of *Love’s Labour’s Lost* (1598), of *Pericles* (1609 and 1619), and *A Yorkshire Tragedy* (1608). The whole volume was labelled ‘Shakespeare Old Quartos, Vol. III.’ It is now numbered Malone 34.
The second Bodleian copy was presented by Thomas Caldecott, and is now numbered Malone 886. The volume is bound up with 1594 editions of *Venus and Adonis* and *Lucrece*, which it follows. It has several manuscript notes in Caldecott’s handwriting, chiefly dealing with misprints and illustrations from the plays. The copy has been cut down by the binder. It measures $6\frac{3}{4}'' \times 4\frac{3}{4}''$, and the date of the title-page, which bears Wright’s name, has been cut off.
