Excerpt from Notes Additions to the Census of Copies of the Shakespeare First Folio
Supplementary efforts to describe copies that had found their way to America did not prove more exhaustive. Mr. Justin Winsor in 1875 gave very careful descriptions of eighteen copies in the United States of America, and in 1888 Mr. W. H. Fleming wrote very fully of thirteen copies in the city of New York.

Excerpt from Notes Additions to the Census of Copies of the Shakespeare First Folio
Three and a quarter years ago - in December, 1902 - I published, by way of supplement to the Oxford facsimile of the Shakespeare First Folio, a 'Census' in which were enumerated all extant copies of the First Folio that were then known to me. Long before my work was published, I had circulated appeals for co-operation wherever there seemed any likelihood that information would be forthcoming. The generous assistance, which was given me both in this country and abroad, enabled my record to reach the large total of one hundred and fifty-eight copies. Whatever the defeats of the research, I may fairly claim to have achieved a greater measure of completeness than had characterized earlier explorations in the same field.
