PERICLES
**THE EDITION OF 1619.**
W. SHAKESPEARE. | Printed for T. P. 1619. | There is a device on the title with the motto HEB. DDM. HEB. DDEV.
Copies attached to *The Whole Contention*.
No. XVII. British Museum copy.
The copy in the British Museum (C. 34. k. 38), which measures $7\frac{2}{16}'' \times 5\frac{1}{16}''$, still forms part of the volume of which the first portion is occupied by *The Whole Contention* (in two parts). The title-page of *Pericles* is missing. Two blank leaves intervene between the close of the second part of *The Whole Contention* and the opening of the text of *Pericles*. The latter play fills thirty-three leaves instead of thirty-four. The volume is bound in red morocco, and on the front cover is stamped the arms of David Garrick, the former owner.
**No. XVIII.** New York Public Library.
A copy in the Lenox collection of the New York Public Library in fine condition is bound without title-page with the 1619 edition of *The Whole Contention*. Its earlier owners have been C. W. Loscombe, F.S.A., at whose sale in 1854 it fetched £11 15s. od.; J. O. Halliwell[-Phillipps], at whose sale in 1856 it fetched £6 7s. 6d.; and Sir William Tite, at whose sale in 1874 it fetched £21, and was bought for the Lenox collection.
**No. XIX.** Virginia University copy, U.S.A.
A copy in the library of the University of Virginia at Charlottetown is bound with an imperfect copy of *The Whole Contention* and some other early quarto plays. The volume was presented by Col. Thomas Mann Randolph, son-in-law of Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), President of the United States.
**No. XX.** Mr. E. D. Church’s (Rowfant) copy.
A copy, lacking the title-page, but bound up as published with the 1619 edition of *The Whole Contention*, now in the possession of Mr. E. Dwight Church of New York, was formerly in the Rowfant library of Frederick Locker Lampson. It measures $7\frac{2}{2}'' \times 5\frac{2}{2}''$.
In no other known copies does *Pericles* retain its original shape of supplement to *The Whole Contention*.
**No. XXI.** Huth copy.
In Mr. Huth’s library, though *Pericles*, 1619, is separately bound, the copy of *The Whole Contention* to which it was attached is preserved in separate binding in the same collection.
**Detached copies.**
A detached perfect copy in the British Museum (C. 12. h. 6) was formerly in the library of George Steevens, whose auto-
