Annotations on Shakespeare [manuscript], ca. 1850-1885.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/694581699

Volumes containing printed texts of plays or poems, many interleaved and annotated by Fish (a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania). The annotations are, for the most part, explanatory notes or glosses, some Fish's own, others taken from Shakespeare editors. A few volumes contain printed pamphlets, pictorial matter, etc. Some are without written matter. At least two of the plays, Othello and The tempest (S.a.230 and S.a.244) contain manuscript notes by G.A. (George Allen), a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and at least one, Othello (S.a.230), a few manuscript notes signed E.B. (Edwin Booth).
