It is mentioned in the catalogue of Malone’s books in the Bodleian Library, which was published in 1836. The entry is repeated in the printed catalogue of the Bodleian Library which was issued between 1835 and 1847. It also figures in the manuscript catalogue of the Library in present use, but no shelf-mark is there attached to it. The Cambridge editors reported that it was inaccessible to them when they sought to collate it in 1864. Efforts have been made at the instance of the present writer to find it during the present year, but so far without success.\n\n‘Arber’s Term Catalogues, i. 230.\nK\n\n<!-- [Page 83](arke:01KG6QAN1MDRGFYNGTB9TZ13MV) -->\n74 VENUS AND ADONIS\nEighteenth-century reprints.\n\nIn the eighteenth century, the poem was less frequently issued than might be expected. Few of the great editors deemed the *Venus and Adonis* or any other of Shakespeare’s poems worthy of their notice. The first eighteenth-century reprint, *Venus and Adonis*, written by Mr. Shakespeare,² appeared in 1707 in *Poems on Affairs of State* (vol. iv, pp. 205-44). The text abounds in the corruptions of 1600 and the later issues, and was doubtless reprinted from the chap-book issue of 1675. Nicholas Rowe did not include Shakespeare’s poems in his first critical edition of the plays which Jacob Tonson published in six volumes in 1709. But two publishers independently supplied the omission without delay. The notorious Edmund Curll (with E. Sanger) brought out in 1710 a so-called ‘seventh volume’ of Rowe’s edition containing *Venus and Adonis, Lucrece*, with Shakespeare’s ‘miscellany Poems’, and an essay by Charles Gildon on the history of the stage. A more respectable publisher, Bernard Lintott, brought out, also in 1710, more than one impression of another complete collection of Shakespeare’s poems. This work, which was entitled ‘A Collection of Poems’, first appeared in a single volume, containing *Venus and Adonis, Lucrece*, and *The Passionate Pilgrim*. A second volume, which was published later, added the *Sonnets* and *A Lover’s Complaint*. In one impression of Lintott’s volumes the *Venus and Adonis* is preceded by a separate and subsidiary title-page bearing the date 1609. There was no known edition of the poem issued in that year, and the date may be a misprint for 1709, when Lintott sent the text to press, or it may be a confusion with 1609, the date of the first edition of the *Sonnets*. Other impressions of Lintott’s edition of 1710 give *Venus and Adonis* a title-page dated 1630, in which year an edition was undoubtedly published (see No. XVI). Lintott’s text was liberally corrected in the printing-office, but was apparently based on that of 1630. To Pope’s edition of Shakespeare’s plays, which Jacob Tonson issued without the poems in six volumes (1723-5), a syndicate of booksellers added in 1725 a ‘seventh volume’ giving the poems in Curll’s text under the incom-\n\n<!-- [Page 84](arke:01KG6QANJPW0E9K89V1564Q83H) -->\nVENUS AND ADONIS 75\n","title":"Chunk 2"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG6S4EKTAGWHRYA785CS0GBV","peer_type":"section","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG6S2X2EBB305ENM00G16GWA","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG6NWQ2H2K4PGG7H4ZHYCZ3Y","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6S6SF43KZ4D1ADKBR384VB","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6S6SF5ETAVAN56DY2PGB0D","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"next"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T06:24:49.637Z","ts":"2026-01-30T06:24:55.354Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
