On the title-page of the copy which Dr Bliss had occur the words, "Newly corrected and amended,' upon which Bliss writes: "I have compared this copy of Solimon & Perseda with that of the same date in Mr Malone's Collection. I find that it agrees in every particular, except that in this TITLE the play is said to have been 'Newly corrected and amended,' when, in fact, there are no corrections whatever; the title alone constitutes the second Edition, and I even doubt if the type was reset for the title."

Without the print, this volume, which is merely an adaptation of the Electra, is of no value. Of the portrait of Charles I have seen two distinct impressions: the one usually found in the book, with the printed inscription merely, Etatis suæ 19, the other, a very superior print, with an engraved description: [Na]tus May 29 Ano 1630 Etats sua [19] What is between brackets was lost in the only copy I have seen.

The circumstances of the time, however, and the importunity of several persons, led to a change of purpose. Saint Peters Complaint, Newly augmented with other Poems. London. Printed by H. L. for William Leake, and are to be sold at his shop in Paules Church-yard at the signe of the holy Ghost. [Circâ 1605.] 4°, in fours, with the title within a broad engraved border. This is an imperfect copy of an undescribed edition, varying much from that republished by Mr Grosart, with the same imprint, and also undated. This contains three poems, apparently wanting in the other impression, namely, "the nativitie of Christ," Christ's Childhood," and "Joseph's Amazement ;" but as two or three leaves are deficient in various parts, there may have been others. The orthography and language differ frequently from the In that gentext supplied by Mr Grosart. tleman's edition the three pieces just referred to are inserted among the Mæoniæ, a collection originally printed in 1595. The edition now noticed should contain probably, in a complete state, A-M 2 in fours, or 46 leaves; but the present copy wants a leaf in F, one in L, and M 2. S. Peters Complaint.
