Note

Tonson published two issues in 8 volumes in 1714, each with the same setting of type, distinguished by different imprints. He also added a ninth volume and reissued this edition in a 9-volume set in 1714

Not the same editorial content as Rowe's 1709 edition, despite his name on the title page. Probably edited by John Hughes. See Bouchard, M.D.S. "A Revised Account of the 1714 Works of Mr. William Shakespear," in PBSA 115:4 (Dec 2021), 419-461.
