_First Folio Shakspeare._--It would be extremely desirable that every one

who possesses, or knows of a copy of the _first folio_, would send to "N. &

Q." a note of the existence of such copy; its present owner's name; date of

acquisition; last owner's name; the price paid; its present condition; and

any other circumstances peculiar to the copy. When the editor should

receive an adequate number of replies to this suggestion, he might publish

a list in some methodised form, and subsequent lists as occasion might

require. I have examined the libraries of several great country-houses, and

have never found a first folio; not even at Wilton, {130} where, of all the

houses in England, we are most sure that it must have been.
