Congreve's copy (item No. 532 in the Leeds Sale, 1930), with Congreve's signature on the title page, is owned by E. S. de Beer, Esq., of London. The unusual flourishes in the signature suggest an early period in Congreve's life.

543 Ditto small paper in 12 vols by Mr Pope

[.... London 1723 ....]

Entry by the third hand.

Apparently this was a set bound specially for Congreve in twelve volumes instead of the regular six. A copy of this edition, described as "6 vols. in 12," was listed under No. 1277 in the Hornby Castle Sale, 1930.

_Victoria and Albert; Folger, Pennsylvania._

A copy of this edition was item No. 587 in the Leeds Sale, 1930, where it was described as "6 vol. in 9, first octavo edition, large paper copy." This was one of perhaps six copies, all on large paper, bound in nine instead of six volumes (see H. L. Ford, _Shakespeare, 1700-1740_, p. 9). The copy in the Leeds Sale, now in the Folger Shakespeare Library, was almost certainly once in Congreve's library.

546 ---- 3d. Vol vizt. Merry Wives of Windsor &c[.]

[12mo. .... 30]

Since no edition of Shakespeare printed before Congreve's death had a third volume beginning with the _Merry Wives of Windsor_, No. 546 is apparently the same as No. 408, a specially bound duodecimo volume beginning with the _Merry Wives_. But it is still not clear why a single specially bound volume should be called the "3d."
