Britwellcopies.
There is a copy in the University Library at Edinburgh,
without the frontispiece, and two copies without the title-
page are at Britwell; one of the latter formerly belonged to
Richard Heber.'
' Notices of other imperfect copies without the frontispiece appear in
sale catalogues. In the *Bibliotheca Anglo-Poctica' (1815'), a catalogue of
rare books on sale at Messrs. Longmans, oF Paternoster Row, a copy is priced
at £1 los. od. but no particulars of its condition are given. One was sold at
the Utterson sale in iS^z, for four guineas (without frontispiece and the
bottom line of title cut off) ; another at the Frederick Perkins' sale in 1889,
bound by Roger Payne, for ^3 6s. od. ; a third, belonging to Halliwell-
Phillipps, bound by Bedford in morocco, was sold at the sale of his library,
July I, 1885;, to Raglan for £11 os. od. At two miscellaneous sales at
Sotheby's, on June 18 and December 4, 190a, respectively, the frontispiece
and title-page were sold detached from the volume. On the first occasion they
were bought for ^13 los. od, by Mr. Gribble, and on the second occasion
Messrs. Pearson & Co. were the purchasers for £110.
