I have endeavoured to enumerate the Editions of Shakespeare's Plays, but finding that I have paid too much regard to inaccurate catalogues, I think it neceffary to fubjoin the following lift given me by Mr. Steevens.

The Editions marked with Afterisks are in no former Tables.

I know no one who has feen thofe in the Italic Characters, but find them in Mr. Pope's and Mr. Theobald's Tables, and in Dr. Warburton's, which is compiled from them.
