VERY SCARCE. From the important Theobold oeuvre. Although Theobold ultimately gave way to Johnson in popularity he remains one of the pre-eminent Shakespearean editors. Churton Collins writing in the DNB claimed it “would not be too much to say that the text of Shakespeare owes more to Theobold than to any other editor.â€<br> The collection also draws on two rival editions J. Tonson’s and R. Walker’s. Although the two are nearly identical Tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against “such Useless Pirated and Maim’d Editions as are publish’d by the said R. Walker.†<br> Henry VI Part II contains famous quotations among which are:<br><br>Could I come near your beauty with my nails<br>I'd set my ten commandments in your face.<br>Eleanor Act 1 Scene 3<br><br>The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb.<br>Suffolk Act 3 Scene 1<br><br>For where thou art there is the world itself<br>With every several pleasure in the world:<br>And where thou art not desolation.<br>Suffolk Act 3 Scene 2<br><br>Small things make base men proud.<br>Suffolk Act 4 Scene 1<br><br>True nobility is exempt from fear.<br>Suffolk Act 4 Scene 1<br><br>The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers.<br>Dick the butcher Act 4 Scene 2<br> J.

196834798New York: W. W. Norton 1968. The First Issuance of the famous Norton Facsimile this copy with the original prospectus. photographically rendered facsimile of the First Folio of Shakespeare 1623. Folio publisher's full red morocco over red cloth covered boards in protective slipcase the spine with raised bands gilt ruled the compartments lettered and decorated in gilt ribbon marker red decorated endpapers. xxxvii 928 pp. A pristine copy as mint. AN IMPORTANT PRINTING AND PUBLISHING EVENT. Because of the peculiarities regarding the printing of the First Folio of the eighty or so copies at the Folger Library no two copies are identical. Professor Hinman was able to collate the Folger copies and discover all the variant readings and corrections made during the print run and for this facsimile he provides the finally corrected state of every page. As the advertisement states this is "a facsimile not of 'a' Folio but 'the' Folio." Each page is photographically reproduced without retouching or opaquing in the original size.<br> Professor Hinman has provided a valuable introduction as well as a new standardized line-numbering which replaces the standard but quite faulty act-scene-line numbers of the old Globe edition of 1864. This edition also reproduces two original proof sheets with proofreader's marks. W. W. Norton hardcover
