Note

In fact the dramatic works only.

Vols. 5-8 include daggers in their direction lines.

A reissue, with cancel general and volume titlepages, of the London "sold by A. Mason, .. and H. Gray", [1753?] edition, which is a careful piracy of the Edinburgh 1753 edition edited by Hugh Blair, with the 'Scots editors preface' left out in vol. 1.

'Some account of the life and writings of Mr William Shakespear' is by Nicholas Rowe.

Uncontrolled note

Not in Alston. The [1753?] edition not available for comparison (filming) Oct. '95, so cannot coompare vols. 5-8 for hidden reimpressions
