PERICLES
The copy in the Barton collection of the Boston Public Library was acquired from Halliwell[-Phillipps] in 1858 for £5 12s. 6d., and was bound in green morocco by Rivière.
Of two untraced copies, one was sold at the Tite sale in 1874, to Mr. Sabin, the American agent, for four guineas, and the other at the sale of A. G. Lamb, of Dundee, February 7, 1898, to Messrs. Pickering for £1 15s. od.
A copy, with the longer imprint, in the British Museum (C. 34. k. 39) measures 5¾" × 7¾". It belonged to Garrick.
The copy in the Bodleian Library belonged to Malone (Malone 222). It is bound up with other pieces, and measures 6¾" × 4½".
A copy in the Edinburgh University Library was presented by J. O. Halliwell[-Phillipps] in 1872. He seems to have paid five guineas for it. The copy belonged to Theobald, who has placed on the title-page this inscription :— Collated w³th an Old edition exactly wth the same Title Printed for T. P. 1619. L. Theobald.³ At the back of the title-page is another note, signed by Theobald, stating that he had collated it also with the edition of 1609, which he calls 'another old Edition'. Marks of Theobald's collation are scattered through the volume. The title-page and a few leaves are mended. At the end of the volume, which measures 7½" × 5½" and is bound in morocco, three leaves from another copy of the same edition are pasted down; they show slight discrepancies of typography, which indicate that they were a first rough proof; they contain a greater number of wrong letters than appear in the ordinary copies.
