comment 2

The Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies are separately paged with many errors, last page numbered 993. Collation, errors in paging and signatures agree with those of the edition of 1623 except that the "Catalogue of the seuerall Comedies, etc." is the 12th preliminary page, and page 37 of the Histories is correctly numbered
