Miscellaneous Notes
As to Rowe’s editions.
Camb. editors only knew of two, an 8vo of 1709 and a 12mo of 1714, which they called Rowe (ed. 1) and Rowe (ed. 2). But a year or so ago I discovered* (*and pointed out in T.L.S.) {1} that there are two 8vo eds. dated 1709 (the later one probably printed in 1710) and that many of the readings attributed by Camb to 1714 (their ed. 2) are really first found in the second ed of ‘1709’.
I therefore distinguish three editions and my ed. iii is what the Camb. editors called ‘ed. 2’.
The original rough collation on the text page of Henry VI was made before I discovered that there were two Rowe eds dated 1709 & hence my numbering of the eds. then coincided with Cambridge.
