About This Book

Full title: A supplemental apology for the believers in the Shakspeare-papers: being a reply to Mr. Malone's answer, which was early announced, but never published: with a dedication to George Steevens, F.R.S. S.A. and a postscript to T. J. Mathias, F.R.S. S.A. the author of The Pursuits of Literature. By George Chalmers, F.R.S. S.A. 
 8vo. ff. [2] (blank), pp. viii, 654 [2], f. [1] (blank). Vellum-backed boards, uniform with Chalmers’s ‘Apology’ (1797, see Bib# 4103289/Fr# 571 in this collection). Errata lists pages [655]-[656] at end, one for "An apology for the believers in the Shakspeare-papers" and one for the present work. In this variant, verso of errata leaf contains 5 lines of errata plus errata for pp. 389, 395, 402, 413, 419, 430, 432, 434, 438 and 446. Contains 1 illustration. Engraved vignette on title page, supposedly representing Shakespeare's crest, and tail-piece at end, supposedly representing Shakespeare's arms, both according to note on page viii. The present work, this time published under the author’s name, was a supplement to the 1797 ‘Apology.’ The "Shakspeare-papers" referred to were the Ireland forgeries.
