The third folio in the second issue including the seven additional plays of which only 'Pericles', previously published in the Pavier quartos of 1619, 'is now seriously considered to have any Shakespearian connection'--Pforzheimer. The first issue was published in 1663 (ESTC r212954) being printed for Philip Chetwynde by Roger Daniel, Alice Warren and another. Pforzheimer records that Roger Daniel printed quires A--E, I--Z, Gg--Aaa, and Ppp--Eeee; another printed quires F--H, Aa--Ff, and Iii-Ooo; while Alice Warren printed quires Bbb--Hhh. The dedication and the preface of the first folio, 1623, are retained. 'The much admired Play, Called, Pericles, Prince of Tyre' and 'The London Prodigal' (caption titles) each have separate pagination and register; the pagination of the latter is continued by the remaining additional plays.

To[??] / 1749 [curtailed by trimming]. There is no evidence for Soane's assertion in the 1835 Description of the house and museum (q.v., p. 8) that 'Amongst the more rare and valuable works in the bookcases in [the Library Dining Room] are ... the four folio editions of Shakespeare’s works, formerly the property of John Philip Kemble', and only the copy of the First Folio (q.v.), bought at the Boswell sale in 1825, is securely known to have belonged to Kemble.
