Opis: Notes and Emendations to the Text of Shakespeare's Plays - Collier John Payne

Excerpt from Notes and Emendations to the Text of Shakespeare's Plays: From Early Manuscript Corrections in a Copy of the Folio, 1632, in Possession of J. Payne Collier

Nearly the whole of what was thought necessary by way of preface to the present edition had been written, when I was favoured by a gentleman, of whom I had no personal knowledge, but the deeds of whose near and illustrious relative are upon historical record, with information which has led to an important discovery regarding the ownership and history of my corrected folio, 1632.

John Carrick Moore, Esq., of Hyde Park Gate, Kensington (nephew to Sir John Moore, who terminated his brilliant career at Corunna in January, 1809), struck by the indisputable value of many of the published emendations, and animated, like other members of his family, by the warmest love for Shakespeare and his works, was kind enough to address a note to me, in which he stated that a friend of his, a gentleman of the name of Parry, had been at one time in possession of the very folio upon which I founded my recent volume of "Notes and Emendations" - that Mr. Parry had been well acquainted with the fact that its margins were filled throughout by manuscript notes, and that he accurately remembered the hand-writing in which they were made.
