APPENDIX 2

COPIES EXAMINED

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
English Books
1475–1640 (Ann Arbor, MI, [1937]-), subsequently digitized in
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
D.F. Foxon, Thomas J. Wise and the Pre-Restoration Drama: A Study in Theft and
Sophistication
(London: Bibliographical Society, 1959).

phlet volume, old maroon library buckram.

bC: Cambridge University Library

  • Syn.7.61.1998
  • Syn.7.63.3791. "Speech to the King" bound after sig. a. Sophisticated: D4
    supplied from a copy of the first printing (states D4r:1, D4v:1a2).

    binding.

bE: National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh

H.3.d.39(1). Examined in photocopy only. Bound with STC 22456 in later
19th-century quarter leather. Title page mended at inner margin.

English plays in C18 gold-tooled mottled calf. Storer bookplate; given to the
library by Anthony Morris Storer, 1799. UMI reel 1585:6.

bL: British Library, London

  • 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.

  • 206

    Page 206
  • Ashley 1698. Thomas J. Wise copy. Disbound; paper flaw on B4. Either
    Ashley 1698 or Ashley 1696 was probably the source of the t.p. illustration
    in the Ashley Catalogue, vol. 5, verso of plate leaf preceding p. 161.
  • Ashley 1699. Thomas J. Wise copy.

[ 67. ]

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).
