stamped on the side with the name of a seventeenth-century collector, Edward Gwynn.¹
Other American owners are Mr. Folger, of New York, and Mr. H. H. Furness, of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, whose copy is imperfect.²
The present ownership of the following copies, one or two of which may possibly be identifiable with some already enumerated, cannot be positively stated:—
A copy, bound in olive morocco, belonging successively to the Duke of Roxburghe and to William Nanson Lettsom (1796–1865), at whose sale in 1865 it fetched £9 15s. od.; it was resold at the Tite sale, in 1874, to A. Russell Smith for £5 15s. od., and at the Thomas Gaisford sale, on April 23, 1890, to Messrs. Pearson for £30. It has autograph notes by Bishop Warburton, and a few manuscript annotations transcribed from Theobald’s copy by Lettsom.
F. W. Cosens³ copy, bound by Rivière, sold November 11, 1890, with all faults, to Bernard Quaritch for £12 5s. od.
Copy of W. H. Crawford, of Lakelands, sold March 12, 1891, to Quaritch for £37; bound in morocco by Bedford.
The copy belonging to the Earl of Warwick, acquired c. 1867, through J. O. Halliwell[-Phillipps], by George Guy, fourth Earl of Warwick (1818–93), was disposed of to an American purchaser in 1896.
An unbound detached copy, sold at a miscellaneous sale at Sotheby’s, on February 25, 1901, with minute fragments of the date rubbed off, but otherwise perfect, ending B b 1, was purchased by B. F. Stevens, the American agent, for £100.
The American actor, W. E. Burton, who died in 1860, owned a copy which was afterwards in the library of Almon W. Griswold of New York.
¹ Gwynn seems to have collected a valuable library in the seventeenth century, and his full name is usually stamped on the front side cover of his books. A collection of royal proclamations, dating between 1634 and 1661; in the British Museum, 506. h. 11, is in a calf binding, stamped in this manner with Gwynn’s name.
² Mr. Furness’ copy resembles that which formerly belonged to Asa I. Fish of Philadelphia.
