Notes (Hamnet):
The plays are separately paged and signed and at least Lear was separately issued. There is no general title. But the 2 volumes properly constitute an edition of the Plays, for there is a general frontispiece portrait of the author, and it is known that Jennens planned to do the whole. The textual readings are thorough and valuable, Jennens being in this respect far in advance of his time (Folger card catalog).
