Note

An 18th-century edition masquerading as another of the undated quartos of "Julius Caesar" printed by Henry Hills, Jr., ca. 1695-1700. A deliberate forgery by an editor "concerned to pass the fruit of his labor off as a Restoration players' quarto." Apparently based on one of the editions prepared by Nicholas Rowe in 1710? or 1714. Cf. John W. Velz, "'Pirate Hills' and the quartos of Julius Caesar'", BSA Papers, v. 63 (1969) 177-193.

Identified as Wing S2926 on UMI microfilm "Early English books, 1641-1700".
