I have examined all copies in person except as indicated. References are given
to
reel numbers in the University Microfilms International (UMI) film set Early

Early English Books Online (EEBO) (eebo.chadwyck.com). Thomas J. Wise tam-
pered with certain copies of ToP, now at the British Library and the Humanities
Research Center,
University of Texas. For details beyond those given here, see

Thomas J. Wise and the Pre-Restoration
Drama: A Study in Theft and
Sophistication (London: Bibliographical Society, 1959).

phlet volume, old maroon library buckram.

- 644.c.44. David Garrick copy. Tampered with by
Thomas Wise: A3, B3,
C2–4 stolen, leaving stubs, as recorded by a pencil note in the book dated
Jan. 1903. B3 and C2–3 were probably transferred to Ashley 1696. A3 was
used to make up the Wrenn copy now at nTxU; a photocopy of that leaf
is now bound into 644.c.44. C4 was found laid into Ashley 1697, and is
now re-inserted in 644.c.44. - Ashley 1695. Thomas J. Wise copy.
Evidently the source of the t.p. illustra-
tion in the Ashley Catalogue, vol. 5, recto of plate leaf preceding p. 161. - Ashley 1696. Thomas J. Wise copy.
Tampered with by Thomas Wise:
B3 and the bifolium C2.3 were used to make up the Wrenn copy now at
nTxU. Their lack was probably supplied from copy 644.c.44. Either Ash-
ley 1696 or Ashley 1698 was probably the source of the t.p. illustration in
the Ashley Catalogue, vol. 5, verso of plate leaf preceding p. 161. - Ashley 1697. Thomas J. Wise copy.
- Ashley 1698. Thomas J. Wise copy.

In Letters of Thomas J. Wise to John Henry Wrenn
(New York:
Knopf, 1944) he is identi-
fied by the editor (p. 243) as Samuel Henry Butcher, who was living in Edinburgh in 1902 and
died in 1910. However,
the Butcher in the Wrenn correspondence seems to frequent
London.
Furthermore, an ALS. from Wise to an R. W.
("Bob") Butcher in Bury (then part of Lan-
cashire), dated 1924,
bids the latter to "Remember me to your good father" (Thomas J.
Wise
Correspondence, Syracuse University Library).
