Excerpt from Poetical Works, Vol. 2

Neither of these two copies is as tall as one in the University Library at Cambridge, which Mr A. R. Waller gave me the Opportunity of examining. The tallest copy that I have seen is in the Grenville collection in the British Museum.

Census of the extant of the would be of considerable bibliographical interest.
