Title
Annotations on Shakespeare [manuscript], ca. 1775.
Description
44 leaves (2 blank) ; 19.5 x 16 cm
Associated name
Scope and content
Notes, both textual and explanatory, on the plays of Shakespeare. They are keyed to the 1773 Johnson-Steevens edition, the references running throughout the ten volumes. From internal evidence it appears that Steevens had sent Tollet some annotations prepared for the 1778 edition, and the present notes were prepared to correct these. They are in two series, the first filling two memorandum books, the second consisting of seven leaves ripped from another such book.
Note
The attribution to Tollet rest in part on a card (10.5 x 7.5 cm) laid in, from the publisher dated October 13, 1773, presenting to him a copy of, presumably, the 1773 Johnson-Steevens edition "as a slight Acknowledgement of the Favour of his Assistance." He had contributed many notes. Other considerations throw some doubt on the attribution.
