Those who are interested in rare old books and early editions will find a great deal of pleasure in examining the exhibit in the Treasure Room of Widener Library this week. The books laid out there include complete facsimiles of the first four folio editions of Shakespeare's plays, dated 1623, 1632, 1664, and 1685, as well as specimens of a still earlier edition of the quarto plays.
There are also a few of the handsomest modern editions of the plays, and volumes dealing with the theatre of Shakespeare's time and the stage production of his plays, with contemporary prints of the Elizabethan theatres. In the glass case is a fairly complete series of the editions of Shakespeare's sonnets, many of them books of great typographical beauty.
