[F3] 1663. For Philip Chetwinde. [For the second issue of 1664, with Pericles and six apocryphal plays added, cf. p. 203.]

Of later editions the most valuable for literary history are those by E. Malone, revised by J. Boswell (1821, the Third Variorum Shakespeare, 21 vols.); W. A. Wright (1891–3, the Cambridge Shakespeare, 9 vols.); F. J. Furnivall and others (1885–91, the Shakespeare Quarto Facsimiles, 43 vols.); H. H. Furness (1871–1919, the New Variorum Shakespeare, 18 plays in 19 vols. issued); E. Dowden and others (1899–1922, the Arden Shakespeare); A. T. Q. Couch and J. D. Wilson (1921–2, the New Shakespeare, 5 vols. issued). Of dissertations I can only note, for biography, J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare (1890, ed. 9), and S. Lee, A Life of William Shakespeare (1922, new ed.), and for bibliography, S. Lee, Facsimile of F1 from the Chatsworth copy (1902, with census of copies, added to in 2 Library, vii. 113), W. W. Greg, The Bibliographical History of the First Folio (1903, 2 Library, iv. 258), A. W. Pollard, Shakespeare Folios and Quartos (1909) and Shakespeare’s Fight with the Pirates (1920), A. W. Pollard and H. C. Bartlett, A Census of Shakespeare’s Plays in Quarto (1916), and H. C. Bartlett, Mr. William Shakespeare (1922).
1 Henry VI. 1592
[F1] 1623. The first Part of Henry the Sixt.
2, 3 Henry VI. 1592 (?)
