Notes
I learn from Mr. J. M. Edelstein of the Library of Congress that Mr. Boies Penrose presented photographs of his fragments to that Library (and also to the British Museum) in 1929. These photographs are ambiguously recorded in Bishop's Checklist as 'photographs, 4ff.'
I must add a note of explanation and apology. When I applied for further information about the Folger fragments to Dr. James G. McManaway, he courteously refrained from pointing out in his reply that he had himself (as I afterwards found) published in The Times Literary Supplement of 15th May 1953 a letter asking where the 'Private Library' fragment recorded by Duff might be since 'certain puzzling features of this rare book need to be studied more closely'; and he also refrained, even more courteously, from rebuking me for having thus failed to send him the information which he required in order to pursue his own researches. It seems therefore that I have now, with Dr. McManaway's help, followed a trail which I myself unwittingly compelled him to abandon eight years ago. For other informative help I am indebted to Mr. Boies Penrose, Dr. F. S. Ferguson, Professor W. A. Jackson, and Mr. L. W. Hanson.
