The highest price paid for any quarto edition of *Pericles* was £171, which was paid by Mr. Perry, of Providence, in 1896, for an exemplar of the 1609 edition, at John Chaloner Smith’s sale.
Copies of later editions, when they have been offered for sale of late years, have not fetched very high prices. In 1901 an unbound copy of the 1619 edition at Sotheby’s brought £100 (February 25), and a copy of the 1635 edition £66 (May 16).¹ Many fair copies of the four latest quartos have changed hands for £15 and under.
