For the following account of the most important of our impressions of Shakespeare I am indebted to the kindness of my friend and colleague Mr. Shuckburgh. The Shakespearian collection contained in the Storer books is of considerable interest and value. There are copies, in admirable preservation, of the first two folios, the first having been interleaved with many excellent engravings. The third folio is the second issue of 1664 (described in the Cambridge Shakespeare, vol. i. p. xxvii), containing "seven plays never before printed in Folio, viz.: Pericles, Prince of Tyre: The London Prodigall: The History of Thomas Lord Cromwell: Sir John Oldcastle Lord Cobham: The Puritan Widow: A Yorkshire Tragedy: The Tragedy of Locrine," and is described as "London, printed for P. C., 1664." There are also five quarto volumes containing copies of varying excellence. Of these it is perhaps worth while to append a detailed description. Vol. I.-1. "The Troublesome Raigne of King John." The title-page of the first part is lost, but the second part has the following:"The | Second Part of the | Troublesome Raigne of and enlarged. | Written by William Shakespeare, Gent. | Printed at London for T. P." There is no date, but Capell has dated it 1619 by comparing the signature of the pages with that of an edition of Pericles (Cambridge Shakespeare, vol. v. p. ix). It is cited as Quarto 3. Vol. II.-1. "A Midsommer Nights dreame." It is "printed by James Roberts, 1600." This is a reprint of a quarto printed in the same year by Thomas Fisher. It is cited as Quarto 2 (Cambridge Shakespeare, vol. ii. pp. viii-ix). 2. "Loves Labour Lost." Printed by W. S. for John Smethwicke, 1631. This is the second quarto, and is reprinted from Folio 1 (Cambridge Shakespeare, vol. ii. p. viii). 3. "The Excellent | History of the Mer- I chant of Venice | with the Extreme Cruelty of Shylocke | the Jew towards the saide Merchant, in cutting a just Pound of his Flesh. And the obtaining of Portia by the choyse of three Caskets. Written by W. Shakespeare. | Printed by F. Roberts, 1600." This is the first quarto (Cambridge Shakespeare, vol. ii. p. ix). The heading of the first page has "The Comical History of the Merchant of Venice." 4. The same, with the alteration of chests for caskets. "Printed by M. P. for Laurence Hayes, and are sold at his shop on Fleet Bridge, 1637." This is Quarto 3. "London. Vol. III.-1. The same as the last. Printed for William Leake, and are to be solde at his shop at the signe of the Crown in Fleet Street, between the two Temple Gates. 1652." This is the fourth quarto (Cambridge Shakespeare, vol. ii. p. xi). Third | Contayning his treacherous Plots, a | 2. "The Tragedie of King Richard The |
