Excerpt from The English Faust-Book of 1592: Edited With an Introduction and Notes
The copy reproduced is found, as was already hint ed at, among the treasures of the British Museum. It appears to be unique. It is true that Ashton in his Chapbooks of the Eighteenth Century (ed. P. 38) mentions a Copy in the possession of halliwell-phil lips and that it appears from Thoms' ed. P. 159 that Collier had kindly furnished (him) with proof that a(n) edition appeared as early as but the Halliwell copy is the identical one that is now in the British Museum, as I was informed by my ever obliging friend A. W. Pollard of that institution. And so long as we do not hear anything more precise about the identity of the. Copy Collier saw, we may presume it to have been halliwell-phillips' exemplar.
