Copynotes: | Copy bound with a large number of other texts, mostly with 1611 imprint dates.

Spenser, Collected into one Volume, and carefully corrected.

Editionnotes: | Titles within woodcut border; head and tail pieces; initials; mostly printed in double columns. -- Part II of "The Fairy Queen" has extra t.p.:"The Second Part of the Faerie Qveene, Containing Fourth, The Fifth, & Sixt Booke / by Ed. Spenser. Imprinted at London for Mathew Lownes, 1609"--Imprint of the Shepherd's Calendar adds before the date 1611: "sold at the signe of the Bishops head in Paules Church-yard." -- Following the "Fairy Queen" both "A letter of the authors, expounding his whole intention ..." [dated 1589, 4p.] & "A vision vpon this conceit of the Faery Queene", starting with the poem "To the learned Shepheard" [10p.], are lacking. They are the last few double pages of the EEB online ed. [pp.186-193] which is based on Harvard's copy of "The Faerie Qveene."
