General note: This edition was produced at the suggestion of David Garrick, for sale at the great Stratford jubilee of 1769 - Jaggard. Copy (81001975), volume one includes MS note: This pretty edition was printed with Baskerville's types, at Garrick's suggestion, and sold at the Stratford-upon-Avon Jubilee in 1769.
