Catalogue of the Books Presented by Edward Capell to the Library of Trinity College in Cambridge
Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 -- Bibliography -- Catalogs; Trinity College (University of Cambridge). Library -- Catalogs
Collation: 4 leaves unsigned, 2 leaves unsigned,
A⁴[heart]⁴B-2C⁶2D², paged, with eighteen double-page engraved
maps inserted. Wanting first leaf (? blank) and sig. A. Printed
title misplaced after the two unsigned leaves. First leaf blank
(wanting), second leaf verses ‘Vpon the Frontispice’ on verso, third
leaf engraved titlepage signed W. Hole, fourth leaf printed
titlepage. The verses and engraved titlepage certainly form one
sheet and the printed titlepage probably occupies the second leaf of
an outer sheet. The two unsigned leaves which follow, and which
certainly form one sheet, contain Epistle dedicatory to Prince
Henry, signed, verses on the prince, and a very fine engraved
portrait of him at pike exercise, signed William Hole. The quire A
(wanting) contains address to the reader and ‘To my Friends, the
Cambro-Britans’, also ‘From the Author of the Illustrations’ (_i.e._
J. Seldon). Then follow an alphabetical Table, and the eighteen
songs, each with engraved map and Seldon’s notes. This is the first
edition but there was an earlier undated issue without printed
titlepage or sigs. A and ❧, and with the portrait of the prince
in an earlier state, _i.e._ without the ‘Henricus Princeps’ on the
plate. The volume was re-issued with a second part in 1622.
