PERICLES 47 Private American owners include Mr. H. C. Folger, junior, of New York, and Mr. H. H. Furness, of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, whose copy is imperfect. A copy in the Tite sale in 1874 was purchased for £4 10s. od. by Mr. Sabin, the American agent. The title-page of the 1635 edition is identical with that of 1630 save that ‘Said Prince’ now appears in place of ‘Sayd Prince’: while Shakespeare’s name is now given as ‘W. Shakespeare’ instead of ‘Will Shakespeare’, and there is the fresh imprint, ‘Printed at London by Thomas Cotes, 1635.’ The number of leaves is thirty-four as in the 1630 edition. There is no pagination. The signatures run A–I₂ in fours. B₄ is marked, but I₂ is omitted. There is the same printer’s device as in the 1619 issue, with the motto HEB. DDIM. HEB. DDIEV. The copy in the British Museum (C. 34. k. 41) measures 6½" × 5½". The binding is in red russia, and some of the leaves are closely shaved. The copy in the Bodleian is numbered Malone 875. It measures 7½" × 5½", and is bound separately in nineteenth-century binding. It did not form part of the original Malone collection. Other copies are in the Capell collection (measuring 7½" × 5") and in the Howley Harrison Library at Canterbury Cathedral. The copy at Bridgewater House, the property of the Earl of Ellesmere, forms part of the library originally brought together by John Egerton, second Earl of Bridgewater (1622–1686). The leaves have been much cut down, and the copy measures 6½" × 4½". A copy bound in morocco by Bedford, which is now in the Britwell library, was sold for £15 at the sale of W. H. Crawford’s Lakeland library, March 12, 1891. It seems at one time to have belonged to Halliwell[-Phillipps]. A copy in the Lenox collection of the New York Public Library has on the title-page an early transcript note running: ‘Left by Sir George Etherege [something obliterated THE EDITION OF 1630. No. LIII. Folger copy. No. LIV. Furness copy. Untraced copy. No. LV. Tite copy. THE EDITION OF 1635. No. LVII. British Museum copy. No. LVII. Bodleian copy. No. LVIII. Capell copy. No. LIX. CanterburyCathedralcopy. No. LX. Bridgewater House copy. No. LXI. Britwell copy. No. LXII. Lenox collection, New York Public Library.
