This is one volume of a large collection of uniformly bound mainly 18th century collections of plays (generally 4 or 5 per volume) from the collection of the Vaughan Jenkins family of the Manor of Priston in Somerset. They were mostly bought at the time of publication in London (c.1713 - 1765, but some as early as 1655) and uniformly bound. Many of the volumes have the initials MCJ (Mary Caroline Jenkins, 1731-1790) or ED (Elizabeth Davis, nee Jenkins, 1736-1810) who were the daughters of Elizabeth Jenkins (1712-1766) and William Jenkins (1688-1774), who became Lord of the Manor of Priston in 1757 when the family moved from London. These books all remained at Priston until being inherited by the uncle of the vendor of the collection.

Buch
Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Complete set of this Pickering & Chatto facsimile Reprint of Nicholas Rowe ´s famous 1709 edition of the Works of William Shakespeare. Rowe ´s edition is the first modern collection of Shakespeare ´s Works after the final 4th Folio which was published in 1685. The Pickering & Chatto set includes Gildon ´s 1710 edition of the Poems which has Works Volume 7 on the titlepage and was obviously intended as a supplement to the Tonson edition. This edition has an interesting introduction by Peter Holland. Reproductions of the original illustrations are included. Books are in very nice, unused condition. The only flaw is evidence of the removal of a previous owners small ex libris sticker inside the front board. Text completely unmarked. This reprint is very scarce.
