- 6 PREFATORY NOTE
where more than one copy of the first edition
exists^ that one in the best state of preservation
has been chosen for reproduction.
Not merely the first edition of these Shake-
spearean volumes^ but all the reissues of the six-
teenth and seventeenth centuries^ survive in very
few copies. With a view to perfecting the biblio-
graphical story^ reproductions in facsimile are
given of the title-pages of the rarest of these
reissues.
Thanks are due to the Curators of the
Bodleian Library for permission to reproduce the
original editions of Kenus and Adonis^ 15*9 3^
of Lucrece^ 15*94^ of the Sonnets, 1609^ ^^^ ^f
Tericles^ 1609. Mrs. Christie Miller has generously
permitted the reproduction of her copy of The
Tassionate Tilgrim^ I5'995 which is in the library
at Britwell. This volume has not been photo-
graphed before^ and is in far finer state than the
only other copy known — that in the Capell
Collection in Trinity College^ Cambridge.
Of the fifteen illustrative title-pages^ six are
reproduced by kind permission of the Curators
of the Bodleian Library ; five by permission of
