Notes (Hamnet):
Consists of two volumes, 2 and 3, the former intended as a continuation of the first volume published in 1615. Vol. 2 was edited by the author, vol. 3 by Sir Kenelm Digby.
Notes (Hamnet):
The three plays comprising volume 2 ("Bartholmew [sic] Fayre", "The Diuell is an asse", and "The staple of nevves") each have separate title page with imprint "... printed by I[ohn]. B[eale]. for Robert Allot ... 1631"; "The staple of nevves" begins new pagination on 2A1. In another state (STC 14754a) "The Diuell is an asse" is a reprint dated 1641 and the other two plays are often omitted.
Notes (Hamnet):
Volume 2 is a reissue of STC 14753.5, with the first sheet run through the press again by Bernard Alsop and Thomas Fawcet to print a general title on blank A1.
Notes (Hamnet):
Volume 3, printed by John Dawson 2 for Thomas Walkley, lacks a general title page, and the order of the parts varies; the order given here follows Greg. "Christmas, his masque" begins pagination on B1; within this section, "Under-woods" and "Mortimer his fall" have separate title pages dated 1640. "The magnetick lady ... printed M.CD.XL. [sic]" begins new pagination and register; within this section, "A tale of a tub. ... printed M.DC.XL." and "The sad shepherd ... printed M.DC.XLI." have separate title pages. "Horace, his Art of poetrie ... M.DC.XL." begins new pagination and register; within this section, "The English grammar ... M.DC.XL." and "Timber ... M.DC.XLI." have separate title pages.
