About 1615-20 1747 This undescribed edition (which Collier rashly assigned to the year 1607, because that date appears in a half-cut-away inscription in a Jacobean hard at the top of the first page), would at first sight appear identical with Smethwick's edition of 1631, until a close inspection reveals variations (for example, A 4 verso, thorine for thornie, and on the last page tratour for traitour), as well as the fact that the page of type is a fraction longer in this than in that; and the type, although of identical setting-up in each,—excepting in the instances of variations,-is much clearer and more perfect in the Collier book, while it is burred and worn away in that of 1631. The only way to account for these discrepancies lies in the assumption that W. S. (William Stansby who was at work between 1597 and 1631) printed the book for Smethwick probably between 1611 and 1620, and reissued it in 1631, without allusion to a prior appearance. Hitherto the piece dated 1631 has been the first known quarto of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew (and consequently of no great importance as being posterior to the first folio); but the article above described reveals the existence of an edition anterior to the first folio. not till now recorded by bibliographers.
