Schabacker says, ‘so long as he plays courageously fair with his sincerestudy … there seems no reason why the average student should not reap therewards of successful stock market operation’.98.

THE MERRY WIVES OF DUBLIN99. SHAKESPEARE, William. The Merry Wives of Windsor. A Comedy as it isacted at the Theatres. Dublin, Printed for A. Bradley, 1730.Small 8vo, pp. 72; a very good copy, bound in a contemporary tract volume withfive London editions of Shakespeare (1729-37, see below) in neat speckled calf,morocco spine label (‘Plays Vol. V’), manuscript contents list at front. £8500First separate Irish edition of The Merry Wives of Windsor, rare.Although productions of Shakespeare had been staged as early as the Restoration,the first works to be printed in Ireland were editions of Hamlet, Othello and Macbethfor George Grierson in 1721. In 1726 Grierson and Ewing issued an 8-volumeedition of the Works, a reprint of Pope’s text – available much more cheaply thanthe English editions they were also exempt from the copyright held in London byTonson.All early Irish editions of Shakespeare are rare, both institutionally and on themarket. Other than the Eccles copy of Macbeth ($26,000 in 2004, in a modernbinding), none have been sold at auction since 1975. (See our list of English Books,Summer 2011, item 66, for another copy of Macbeth.) Merry Wives is recorded byESTC in five copies only, none in the British Isles: Folger, Huntington, Illinois,Texas and Yale.Merry Wives is found bound here with five London editions of Shakespeare –evidence that these Dublin printings were intended as much to undercut theEnglish market as for distribution in Ireland (a full list is available on request).100. SIDNEY, Sir Philip. The Sonnets. London, The Ballantyne Press for Hacon& Ricketts / The Vale Press, 1898.8vo, pp. 67, [1], [2], [2 (blank l.)]; text printed in red and black in the Vale type;wood-engraved capitals and borders by Ricketts; some very light offsetting,otherwise a very good copy, uncut, in the original paper-backed boards covered in‘pine-cone and leaf’ paper designed by Ricketts, letterpress title-label on spine,spine very slightly darkened, offsetting onto free endpapers; booklabel of LaurenceW. Hodson to front pastedown. £500Limited to 218 copies, this one of 210 on paper. This edition contains all thesonnets known at this time to have been written by Sidney, and the text ‘wascarefully prepared from the earliest editions by John Gray’ (colophon). According toA Bibliography of the Books Printed by Hacon & Ricketts, ‘[t]he two initials thatoccur in this book had to be cut for it, as no other arrangement made possible theinclusion of the right number of lines inside the border; they were not used again’.Laurence W. Hodson (1864-1933), was a founder of Birmingham University, patronof the Guild of Handicraft, and a friend of William Morris. Hodson’s home,Compton Hall, was refurbished by Morris & Co. in 1896 and his booklabel wasprinted by the Kelmscott Press after Morris’ death, using his Golden type (cf.Peterson, A Bibliography of the Kelmscott Press, D10.8).
