Copy Comments:

This, the third, issue occurs with the date 1663 or 1664, and some of the 1663 printings do not contain the seven spurious plays. The third folio is extremely rare, because a large number of copies were destroyed in the great fire of London in 1666. It is, in fact, rarer than the First Folio. This copy had been purchased by the Trustees in January, 1964. The first 8 leaves are missing and have been supplied in facsimile. A few corners at the beginning have also been repaired by facsimiles. There is a ms. note at the end, dated Feb. 16th, 1693: "The binding of this booke cost 5d. . . ."
