ESTC T138595. Western copy not listed. Illustrated. Folger notes:
Knapton et al. published two editions of the works in nine volumes in 1747 with completely different settings of type and differing pagination. In this edition, there is an engraving for each play; on the general title page, the final line of the title reads "Quarto, 1744"; the second "n" in "Longman" is dropped from the imprint; and the printer’s devices on the volume title pages vary.
Contains the plays only
