The Third Variorum Edition, Concluded

Yesterday we looked at Boswell and Malone's great Third Variorum Edition of 1821, specifically the first three volumes comprising the Prolegomena.  Today I provide links to the remaining 18 volumes.  As you will see, among the plays--which are well printed and available in full view and downloadable PDF formats--there are some valuable scholarly nuggets, particularly An Account of the Incidents, from which the Title and Part of the Story of Shakspeare's Tempest Were Derived; and its True Date Ascertained in volume XV; Malone's Dissertation of the Three Parts of King Henry VI Tending to Show That Those Plays were Not Written Originally by Shakspeare in volume XVIII; the Memoirs of Henry Wriothesley, The Third Earl of Southampton in volume XX; and the very valuable Glossarial Index, of Words, Phrases, Customs and Persons, Explained or Mentioned in the Notes in volume XXI, which provides an alphabetical index to the contents of the numerous notes by the various commentators included in the volumes.  I believe this is the first time this material has been made so accessible on the Internet.
