Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy includes manuscript marginalia, apparently in the hand of the author, throughout and is the third of three printed items bound together in a volume titled "Edwards, Canons of criticism." This volume contains [1]: A supplement to Mr. Warburton's edition of Shakespear [1748] -- [2]: The canons of criticism and glossary, being a supplement to Mr. Warburton's edition of Shakespear [3rd ed.] -- [3]: The canons of criticism and glossary, being a supplement to Mr. Warburton's edition of Shakespear [4th ed.]. Two manuscript indexes, also in the author's own hand, are bound in at the end. The first of the two is a simple index to vols. 3 and 4 of Canons of criticism. The second correlates the content of the Warburton and Theobald editions of Shakespeare to Canons of criticism. See the Catalog of the Barton Collection for a more detailed description.
