- LUCRECE
43
Co., of New York, in 1904. It is a perfect copy, measuring First
(^^g-^xf", and is bound in red morocco with tooled sides Edit;om,
by Zaehnsdorf. It was apparently at one time the property of ^^^'^'
Sir William Tite, at the sale of whose library in 1874 it
fetched £110.'
A fragment of the first edition was sold in 1 8 5-2, at the sale Fragment,
of the library of Edward Vernon Utterson, for ^4 10/. od.
Mr. White, of Brooklyn, possesses sixteen leaves (B i, B 4,
C i-F 2) of a second copy, measuring 7~' x y-~'\ It is
possible that this is the Utterson fragment.
The first edition of Lucrece has been twice issued in Photo-
facsimile j firstly, in the series of reproductions of Shake- S^p^^^''^-
spearean quartos undertaken by E. W. Ashbee under J. O. ^^° ""^°'"-
Halliwell-Phillipps' direction in 1857 (of which fifty copies
were prepared and nineteen of these destroyed); and
secondly, in the series of Shakspere-Quarto facsimiles with
introduction by F. J. Furnivall, ill 6 (No. 35-), published by
Mr. Bernard Quaritch, of Piccadilly, from the copy in the
British Museum.
The second edition appeared in 15-98. Unlike the first Second
edition, which was a quarto, the second, like all its Edition,
successors, is an octavo. The signatures run A-E 4 in Na xr.
eights. The leaves number thirty-six and the pages are Capeii copy.
unnumbered. Only a single copy of the second edition
is known. It is in the Capell collection at Trinity College,
Cambridge. The title-page runs :— LVCRECE. |at london, |
Prmted by P. S. for lohn | Harrison. 15-98. | It was printed by
Peter Short. The title-page bears the signature of two
former owners — Robert Cheny, who seems to have paid i ^d.
for the copy, and of Count Fieschi. The ornaments are
those usually associated with Peter Short's press. Notes of
'
Justin
Winsor's statement
that
Capell's
copy
is
missing from
the
collection in
Trinity College,
Cambridge,
is
incorrect.
Capell never possessed
a copy, but in the
Catalogue
of
his
Shakespearean
Library he mentions
that
one
is
in the library of
Sion College,
London,
and
that
he had collated
it
withhis
own exemplar
of I5'98. F 2
