- 68 SONNETS OF SHAKESPEARE
**THE EDITION OF 1609.**
*£21 10s. od.* It was again sold at Evans’ sale rooms in a valuable collection of ‘Books of a Gentleman gone abroad’, on Jan. 25, 1830, for *£29 10s. 6d.*, and was afterwards acquired by George Daniel, whose monogram G. D. is stamped on the cover. It fetched at the Daniel sale of *1864 £225 15s. od.*, and afterwards passed into the collection of Almon W. Griswold of New York. Mr. Church purchased it of Mr. Griswold through Dodd, Mead & Co. of New York in 1889 for *£1,000 (5,000 dollars)*. The title-page is reproduced in facsimile in the Grolier Club’s ‘Catalogue of original and early editions’, 1895, p. 185.
**No. X.** The Halsey copy, formerly at Rowfant.
Mr. F. R. Halsey, of New York, is the owner of the copy formerly belonging to Frederick Locker Lampson, of Rowfant, which was sold to Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co. of New York in Jan. 1905. This copy has the Aspley imprint. It seems to be the ‘imperfect’ copy sold at the Jolley sale in London in 1844 for *£33*;¹ and successively in the libraries of Edward Vernon Utterson, at whose sale in 1852 it fetched *£30 5s. od.*; of J. O. Halliwell[-Phillipps], who sold it for *£41* in 1856, when it was acquired by Sir William Tite. At the Tite sale in 1874 it seems to have been bought by Messrs. Ellis & White for the late Frederick Locker Lampson for *£15 10s. od.* The title and dedication are supplied in admirable facsimile by Harris. The volume is bound in extra-morocco by J. Clarke.
**No. XI.** The White copy.
A third copy in America, which belongs to Mr. W. A. White of Brooklyn, also has the title-page and dedication in facsimile. It measures *6½" × 5".* The volume was bound by Charles Lewis and acquired by the present owner in New York in 1887.
**POEMS OF 1640.** Description.
¹ Dibdin writes somewhat mysteriously of Jolley’s copy, despite its imperfections, thus: ‘The history of the acquisition of the Jolley copy is one of singular interest, almost sufficient to add another day to a bibliographical decameron. The copy is in pristine condition, and looks as if snatched from the press.’ Bound up with the *Venus and Adonis* of 1594 (see *Venus and Adonis*, Census No. II, British Museum copy), it was acquired by Jolley for a few pence in a Lancashire ramble.
