8vo. ff. [3], pp. [3]-72, [4]. Original print wrappers.
An expanded version of Collier’s original defence published in the Athenæum of 18 February 1860 against N. E. S. A. Hamilton’s attacks in An Inquiry into the Genuineness of the Manuscript Corrections in Mr. Payne Collier’s Annotated Shakspere, Folio 1632 (Bib# 4117353/Fr# 1195 in this collection). Apart from his remarks about the emendations in Trilogy (1874), which only briefly touch on the accusations of forgery by Collier himself, the Reply is his last published comment on the controversy over the Perkins Folio, the Bridgewater and Dulwich documents, and the State Paper Office ‘players’ petition.’ See A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, I, pp. 777-788; II, A90.
