Collecteana Shakespeareana of George Chalmers, 1445-1796 [manuscript], ca. 1800.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/244482547

Described at the beginning of volume I as "Much unpublished material relating to Shakespeare." Actually it is largely a rough catalog or calendar of material relating not only to Shakespeare but to other subjects on which Chalmers published. The last item is a close review of his own Apology for the believers, 1796, probably in preparation of another edition, which is on the Shakespearean documents forged by W. H. Ireland. The notes are on slips of paper pasted onto sheets and bound. Some of the notes were copied by Craven Ord from Sir Henry Herbert's Office-Book.
