- **FIRST EDITION, 1594.**
to be bound up somewhat capriciously—six or seven together—in a long series of large volumes. His copy of the 1594 *Lucrece* now fills the first place in the volume which is labelled outside ‘Shakespeare Quartos, volume III,’ and contains six quarto tracts. The edition of *Lucrece* measures $7\frac{3}{16}'' \times 5''$, but is inlaid on paper measuring $9\frac{3}{6}'' \times 7\frac{3}{6}''$. The poem is followed successively by a copy of the *Sonnets* of 1609 (with the Aspley reprint); by *Hamlet*, 1607; by two quartos of *Pericles* dated respectively 1609 and 1619, and by *A Yorkshire Tragedy*, 1608.
