Including one of the sixteen perfect first editions of the folio of Shakespeare's Plays, the second most valuable English edition of Montaigne's Essays in the world, and rare quarto editions of Shakespeare's Plays, genuine and spurious, the fifteen-volume Shakespeare exhibit now displayed in the Widener Memorial Room is estimated to be worth over...
Second in interest are the quarto volumes of the plays, especially the first quarto of Midsummer Night's Dream (1600), the Whole Contention (spurious), and the so-called quarto of King Lear (1608).

John Barrymore is expert as the producer because, like the rest of his family, he is endowed with a touch of the spurious and theatrical. He postures, tears his hair, wriggles, shouts, jumps, and with a gesture or a lift of the voice delineates such spectacles as a herd of camels, Rev. Mr. Davidson in Rain, Judas strangling himself (with a strand of Magdalen's hair), a door bell going Ting...
