The copy at 42.V.1 is as follows and in the following order:
Title-page dated 1611. Printed by H.L. for Mathew Lownes.
First part of the Faerie Queen (bks 1-3). No colophon. Printing of
Young Knight on B3r
Second part of the Faerie Queen. Dated 1613 Misprint on colophon of
16012.
The Shepheards Calendar t.p. 1611
Mother Hubberds tale . 1613
Colin Clouts come home againe. Undated t.p. immediately followed by the
dedication to Sir Walter Raleigh, on which there is nothing to identify
the date (no Alle- or Allego). [Since this copy seems to fall in Johnson's Group III, I conjecture that Letter to Raleigh is first printing--NS 6/8/10]
Prothalamion, Amoretti and Epithalamion, Epithalamion, Foure hymnes,
Complaints, Muiopotmos or the Fate of the butterfly all 1611.
