There is a MS. note by Capell on verso of titlepage to vol. i,
dated Mar. 26, 1774, stating that the copy had been presented by
the editor to the Rev. Arthur Kynnesman, headmaster of St. Edmond's
Bury school, and by him bequeathed to Capell. Vols. ii-iv are dated
1743. There is a portrait of Shakespeare and an engraving by
Gravelot to each play. Vol. vi contains a glossary but not the
Poems. This is the first edition of the text prepared by Sir Thomas
Hanmer. The engravings are after designs by Hayman.
