*First Edition. Extremely rare with the portrait. Usually considered Marshall's masterpiece. It is said to have been engraved for presentation by the Earl to his friends and then destroyed. The above-a tall copy with some of the edges uncut-was formerly in the libraries of the Earl of Westmoreland and Thomas Jolley.

*

Probably the first edition. Dedicated to John Bodenham and printed for Nicholas Ling the Stationer. Herbert mentions an edition of 1598, but this is probably an error. There is little doubt that Allot, and not Bodenham, was the editor, for a copy of this edition in the British Museum contains an epistle in which Allot dedicates to Bodenham this "collection of the flowers of antiquities and histories."

60. ALLOT (ROBERT-Editor). Englands Parnassus: Or The Choysest Flowers of our Moderne Poets, with their Poeticall comparisons.

Imprinted at London for N[icholas] L[ing] C[uthbert] B[urby] and T[homas] H[ayes], 1600.

*FIRST EDITION, with the two preliminary blank leaves. Edmund Malone's copy, with his autograph and manuscript corrections throughout; also four pages of verse "writ extempore," signed and dated "John Ward, 1673," and a manuscript index.

Valuable for its quotations from Shakespeare and his predecessors in English poetry, many of whom are known only by the quotations and references in this volume It is pos

sible that the John Ward who was the former owner may have been the Vicar of Stratford, who left a manuscript diary of the years 1648-1679, containing a mention of Shakespeare and his two daughters, and who is the sole authority for the statement that the dramatist died from the effects of a merry making with Drayton and Ben Jonson,
