not appear in any known copies of the book. The translation is dedicated 'To his kind and true friend, Edward Blunt,' by Thomas Thorpe, the notorious piratical publisher of Sonnets by W. Shakespeare. The translation, although not published until 1600, had been entered on the Stationers' Books, 28th September 1593. HERO AND LEANDER. By Christopher Marloe. London, printed by Adam Islip, for Edward Blunt. 1598. 4°. Although not published until five years later, this poem was entered on the Stationers' Books on 28th September 1593 as 'A book entitled Hero and Leander, being an amorous poem devised by Christopher Marlowe.' Another 4to edition issued in 1598 refers to Chapman's continuation. The title-page reads: 'Hero and Leander: Begun by Christopher Marloe; and finished by George Chapman. Ut Nectar, Ingenium. At London, printed by Felix Kingston, for Paule Linley, and are to be solde in Paules Churchyarde, at the Signe of the Blacke-beare.' Another edition, in all respects similar, save that it was stated to have added Lucan's First Booke, which is only known separately, and to be 'printed for John Flasket,' instead of for Kingston, was published in 1600. 4°. without the reference to Lucan, appeared in 1606. 4°. 'imprinted for Ed. Blunt and W. Barret,' was published in 1609. 4°. 'printed by W. Stansby for Ed. Blunt and W. Barret,' was issued in 1613. 'printed by A. M. for Richard Hawkins: and are to be sold at his Shop in Chancerie-Lane, neare Serjeants Inne.' 1629. 'printed by N. Okes for William Leake, and are to be sold at his shop in Chancery Lane neare the Roules.' 1637. Begun by Christopher Marlowe and finished by George Chapman. Printed from that of 1637. 'Observations, etc.' Published by C. Chapple. 1820. 8°. with critical preface by S. W. Singer, being vol. viii. of the 'Select Early English Poets.' 1821. 12°. with decorations by C. Ricketts and C. Shannon. London. 1894. 8°. HERO AND LEANDER. Another edition, issued as a broadside and titled 'A most excellent Ditty of the Lovers promises to his beloved' (by C. M.), was issued about 1650. Folio. This broadside was reprinted in 'The Roxburghe Ballads,' vol. i. p. 205. London. 1869. On the 14th April 1598 was entered on the Stationers' Books-The Second Part of Hero and Leander conteyning their further Fortunes by Henry Petowe. 4°. Some account of this book, 'the first fruits of an unripe wit, done at certaine vacant howers,' as its writer styles it, has been given in our account of Marlowe, who, of course, was personally unknown to Petowe. THE PASSIONATE PILGRIME. By W. Shakespeare. At London. Printed for W. Jaggard, and are to be sold by W. Leake, at the Greyhound in Paules Churchyard. 1599. This little anthology, which had for a second title, in the middle of the book, Sonnets to Sundrie Notes of Musicke, was only partly by Shakespeare (some of the poems being by Barnfield, Marlowe, and others) and was fraudulently ascribed to him by the publisher. The book contained the first known publication of Marlowe's Passionate Shepherd to his Love, but minus the fourth and sixth stanzas. In 1600 the song reappeared in 'England's Helicon,' another anthology, but without the sixth stanza, and was reprinted in 1653 by Isaak Walton, in his Complete Angler, in its present form. Since that time the song has been published in innumerable shapes, forms, and places. The present volume is the first work in which a contemporary version of the verses, from an Elizabethan Commonplace Book, formerly belonging to John Thornborough, Bishop of Limerick, has been given to the public. It contains many variations from any of the known publications. The music to which the song was sung was discovered by Sir John Hawkins in an Elizabethan manuscript, and is given in Boswell's edition of Malone's Shakespeare, and in Chappell's collection of National English Airs. In Chappell's National Songs, vol. ii. p. 139, the originality of the tune is fully discussed. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote two Replies to the poems, and Donne, Herrick, and others imitated it in various pieces. The FRAGMENT, beginning 'I walked along a stream,' first appeared, as far as is known, in the 1600 edition of England's Parnassus (where it was given in the Description of Seas, Waters, Rivers, etc.), over the name of Ch. Marlowe. Dialogue in Verse was first published in the 'Alleyn Papers,' edited by J. P. Collier for the 'Shakespeare Society.' The Ms. was stated to have been found amongst the Dulwich College papers, written as in prose on one side of a sheet, with the name 'Kitt Marlowe' inscribed on the back in a modern hand. The lines are obviously not by Marlowe, although they have been reprinted in every edition of his poems, since their publication by Collier. A sonnet and two pieces of verse, described as by Ignoto, followed the Epigrams of Sir John Davies, in two of the Middlebrough editions of Marlowe's Ovid, and are reprinted in all the collections of his poems. They are certainly not by Marlowe. The Latin Epitaph on Sir John Manwood, although first printed by J. P. Collier, History of the English Stage, is doubtless by Marlowe.
