The history of the Bodleian copy, formerly Malone's, is told by Prior, Life of E. M., p. 177:-"Towards the end of the year [1791], a present from a friend put him in possession of a small volume of ancient English verse, of which, by an alluring table of contents, an admirer of that age might reasonably be proud.

"Diana, or the [excellent conceitful] Sonnets of Henry] Constable] 1592 or 1594 [1594]; Daniel's SONNETS, with the Complaint of Rosamond and the Tragedie of Cleopatra, 1594; BARNEFIELD'S SONNETS, WITH THE LEGEND OF CASSANDRA, 1595; Fidessa, Sonnets by B. Griffin, 1596: Diello, by R. L., with the Poem of Don Diego and Genevra, 1596; The Poem of Poems, or Sion's Muse, by Jarvis] M[arkham,] 1596; [Venus and Adonis, 1596;] The Tragedie of Sir Richard Grinvile, Kt, by the same [Jarvis Markbam 1595."

"The History of this book [notes Malone himself] is curious. It was sold at the sale of Dr. Bernard's books in 1690 for one shilling and threepence. Afterwards, probably passing through many hands, it came into the possession of a broker at Salisbury, where, about thirty years ago, Mr. Warton found it among a parcel of old iron and other lumber, and, I think, purchased it for sixpence. Since his death, his brother, Dr. Joseph Warton, very kindly presented it to me....... The very rare copy of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis, 1596, originally made part of this volume, but on rebinding it I took out that piece in order to place it with my other early editions of Shakespeare's pieces. I have also changed the place of Constable's Sonnets, which originally did not stand in the front of this little volume."-E. MALONE, Dec. 1, 1791.

1 "The Address to the Readers before this precious little volume is very interesting, as Barnefielde in it denies the authorship of two books imputed to him, one of which no doubt was "Greenes Funerals, by R. B.," 1594, and the other probably "Orpheus his Journey to Hell, by R. B," 1595. He at the same time acknowledges "The Affectionate Shepherd" to be his.

Of the present work he observes that it is "the
first imitation of the verse of that excellent poet
Maister Spencer in his Fayrie Queene."-Bibl.
