a Dryden's Essay on Dram. Poetry b Horace's Art of Poetry by ye E. of Roscommon--and c the Rehearsal
This specially bound collection of three quartos, with Congreve's signature on each of the three title pages, was item No. 209 in the Leeds Sale, 1930. Since the dates on these title pages are 1684, 1684, and 1687, the quartos could have been only the following:
(a) Of dramatick poesie, an essay. By John Dryden. London, for Henry Herringman, 1684. 4to.

a A mad World my Masters b c Cupid's Revenge -- Merry d Wives of Windsor -- Byron's e Conspiracy -- Chapman's Homer, f and Heliodorus's History in Verse by Wm Lisle
Number 407 probably included the following:
(a) Thomas Middleton's A mad world my masters, in a quarto of 1608 (STC 17888--_BM; Harv, NYP, Folg, Hunt_) or of 1640 (STC 17889--_BM; Harv, Folg, Newberry, Texas, Hunt_). No. 490 indicates that the reference here is to Middleton's play rather than to Breton's dialogue (STC 3667).
(b) Beaumont and Fletcher's Cupid's revenge, in a quarto of 1615 (STC 1667--_BM; Harv, Hunt_), of 1630 (STC 1668--_BM; Harv, Folg, Newberry, Texas, Hunt_), or of 1635 (STC 1669--_Bodleian; Harv, NYP, Folg, LC, Newberry, Hunt_).
(c) Shakespeare's The merry wives of Windsor, in the 1630 quarto (STC 22301--_BM; Harv, NYP, Folg, Hunt_). Also possible, but less likely because of the wording of the titles, are the quartos of 1602 (STC 22299--_BM; Folg, Hunt_) and 1619 (STC 22300--_BM; Harv, Folg, Hunt_).
(d) George Chapman's The conspiracie, and tragedie of Charles Duke of Byron, Marshall of France, in a quarto of 1608 (STC 4968--_BM; Harv, Folg. Illinois, Texas, Hunt_) or of 1625 (STC 4969--_BM; Harv, Folg, LC, Newberry, Hunt_).

Merry Wives of Windsor King Henry IV. 2 parts Julius Caesar -- Hamlet & Othello Moor of Venice
The sequel of Henry the Fourth: with the humours of Sir John Falstaffe, and Justice Shallow. . . . Alter'd from Shakespeare, by the late Mr. Betterton. London, for W. Chetwood, and T. Jauncey, [_c._ 1720]. 8vo.
_BM; Yale, Folg, Hunt._
Since _The sequel_ was the only "second" part of _Henry IV_ available before Congreve's death, it must have been one of the six plays in No. 408. The other five, as Dr. Giles Dawson of the Folger Shakespeare Library has kindly pointed out, were all available about 1720-1721 in the second edition of the T. Johnson octavos and may be consulted at the Folger Library. Furthermore, these octavos were small, about the size of the duodecimos of the period, and would have fitted well with _The sequel_ into a volume which might easily have been classified according to size as 12mo.

Possibly the same as No. 446 (or the issue of [1709]).
413 ---- Poems on ye Victories of Blenheim & Ramil- -lies by ye most Eminent Hands
[Fol London 1708. 15]
No. 413 was apparently a specially bound volume made up of Addison's _Campaign_ (which had appeared twice in 1705 and again in 1708), Congreve's _A Pindarique Ode on the Victorious Progress of her Majesties Arms_ (1706), and other poems. In Sotheby's catalogue for the Leeds Sale, 1930, item No. 5 reads as follows: "Addison (J.), William Congreve and others. A Collection of Poems . . . upon the Victories of Blenheim and Ramillies, _panelled calf. folio._ 1708." And perhaps it was this same unique volume that Sotheby advertised for sale on 23 November 1931: "A Collection of Poems . . . upon the Victories of Blenheim and Ramilies. By the most Eminent Hands, 1708." (_CHEL_, II, 188)

Entry by the third hand.
See No. 231, an entry by the first hand, which lists Congreve's copy of the _Microcosmographie_ (1629) as 12mo. This entry by the third hand (No. 416) probably refers to the copy mentioned in No. 231, and no doubt errs in giving the format as 24to. The seven known editions of the _Microcosmographie_ between 1628 and 1638 are all in 12mo.
