Addendum: The Printing of Hamlet Q2, by Fredson Bowers (See Studies in Bibliography, vol. VII)
In "The Printing of Hamlet Q2" (SB, VII, 42) I spoke of the difficulty in identifying all the running-titles because of their typographical similarity, but expressed confidence that my table of assignments, with the possible exception of N1, presented the facts with some accuracy. This confidence, it can now be seen, was excessive, for two other assignments in addition to N1 have proved to
On p. 42, therefore, the following changes should be made in the table:
II delete 02-N1(?); VI delete O1
V; VII add N1; XIV add
O1V; XV add 02
This assignment destroys the case for the printing of sheet O+A before sheet N. I am not altogether happy about the required new explanation, but offer it provisionally.
When press X came to impose outer N (the first through the press), inner I was perfecting on the press and outer I was on the distributing bench. Press Y, despite the help given its compositor by compositor X who had set sigs. L1 and L4V, was slightly behind press X. Press Y was perfecting L inner and, to impose M outer (the first forme through the press), had L outer on the bench.
