T. Loveday of Williamscote, near Banbury. The title-page has in the centre the words *By W. Shakespeare*. The existence of this copy was only made known in 1882. It was originally bound in rough calf with five other rare tracts of contemporary date. *The Passionate Pilgrim* occupied the second place. The volume bore on the fly-leaf the words:\n\n‘e libris Jac: Merrick\ne. coll.

Merrick died in 1769, within three days of his forty-ninth birthday, and left this, with many other scarce and valuable books, to his friend John Loveday of Williamscote (1711–89), great-grandfather of the present owner. The *Passionate Pilgrim* and the five accompanying tracts have been lately separately bound in morocco and are kept together in a case of the same material.¹\n\n¹ Mr. Loveday, who carefully described his copy of *The Passionate Pilgrim* and the rare tracts (originally bound with them) in *Notes and Queries* (Aug. 12, 1882), sixth ser. vol. vi, kindly gave me the opportunity of making a personal examination of them. The accompanying tracts are in the order in which they were originally bound together, as follows:—\n\n1. The Picture of Incest Lively Portraicted in the Historie of Cinyras and Myrrha. By James Gresham. London Printed for R. A. 1626.\n\n3. The Mirror of Martyrs, or the Life and death of that thrice valiant Capitaine, and most godly Martyr Sir John Oldcastle Knight Lord Cobham. Printed by V. S. for William Wood 1601.\n\n4. The Kings Prophecie: or Weeping Joy. Expressed in a Poeme, to the Honor of Englands too great Solemnities. Jos: Hall London: Printed by T. C. for Symon Waterson. Reprinted for Roxburghe Club by Mr. J. E. T. Loveday.\n\n5. Britain’s Ida. Written by that Renowned Poet, Edmond Spencer.

Nec scompros [sic] metuentia carmina, nec thus. At London. Printed by I.
