Notes
W. W. Greg, A Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration, II (1939-59), Number 352 (b).
See R. B. McKerrow, "Elizabethan Printers and the Composition of Reprints," The Library, 4th Series, V (1925), 357-364.
In the remaining copies, the error has been rectified by cancelling either B3-B4 (in three copies) or B4-C1 (in three copies).
Though I have managed to trace only nineteen distinctive types, these recur in the sheets with enough consistency to suggest that only one type-case was employed.
As follows (line numbers within parentheses):
"e" B1 ( 8) — B4 (16)
"i" B4v (29) — B3v (31)

Records of the Court of the Stationers' Company, 1602 to 1640, ed. William A. Jackson (1957), pp. 158-159.
Professor Hinman considers that the "five very substantial works (in addition to a number of smaller items)" issued by Jaggard during 1621-1622 must have been enough to keep Jaggard's presses and workmen fully occupied. The Printing and Proof-Reading of the First Folio of Shakespeare, I (1963), 18.
Note that the running-title pattern (see above) shows an irregular alternation between Sheets B and C.
