In 1852 he printed a catalogue of his Shakespearean collections, and in 1853 issued the first volume of his magnificently printed folio edition of Shakespeare, with notes, drawings, and complete critical apparatus, aiming, as he said, at a greater elaboration of Shakespearean criticism than has yet been attempted. The edition was limited to 150 copies. F. W. Fairholt prepared the wood-engravings. The sixteenth and last volume appeared in 1865. The original price was 63 pounds. The edition is probably the richest storehouse extant of Shakespearean criticism..."
