for /49 loj". od. Henry Stevens had it re-bound in blue twelfth
morocco by Bedford, and re-sold it at Sotheby's for £^6^ in ^°'^'°^'
August, 1 8 5-7. It subsequently passed into the library of ^ ^ '
Brayton Ives, of New York, who paid for it ^1,35-0 or ^270.
At Brayton Ives' sale in 1 8 9 1 it was acquired by its present
owner for ^1,15-0 or ^230.
The last edition known to have been produced in the Thirteenth
seventeenth century was printed in \67^ 'by Elizabeth f^^^^^^'
Hodgkinsonne for F. Coles, T. Vere, J. Wright and J. Clark ',
and was entered in ' The Term Catalogue ' under date
February 10, 1675, as 'Venus and Adonis; A Poem by
W. Shakespear. Price sixpence '.^ It was a diminutive volume
of the chap-book order, and was published by a London firm,
whose business was mainly confined to broadsides, ballads,
and chap-books.
The only copy which seems traceable is now in America. No. xx.
Originally in the library of George Richard Savage Nassau, ^^^^^^ ^^^^'
it was sold at the sale of his books in March, 1 8 24, for £x ys. od.
It seems to have been subsequently for a time the property of
J. O. Halliwell. On April 12, 1 8 8 9, it was sold by an anony-
mous collector at Puttick and Simpson's auction rooms in
London, for ^14 10/. od. to Messrs. Pearson and Co., of
London. It afterwards passed to its present owner, Mr. H. C.
Folger, jr., of New York. It is bound in russia.
Another copy of the 167^ edition, without a title-page. No. xxr.
belonged to Malone and seems to have passed with his books ^^}^^^
to the Bodleian Library. It is mentioned in the catalogue of (Malone)
Malone's books in the Bodleian Library, which was published copy^ 1^75.
in 1 8 3 ($■. The entry is repeated in the printed catalogue of
the Bodleian Library which was issued between 1835- and
1847. It also figures in the manuscript catalogue of the
Library in present use, but no shelf-mark is there attached to
it. The Cambridge editors reported that it was inaccessible
to them when they sought to collate it in 1 8 6j^. Efforts have
been made at the instance of the present writer to find it
during the present year, but so far without success.
