Book excerpt: Supplement to Collier's 'The works of Shakespeare : the text regulated by the recently discovered folio of 1632, containing early manuscript emendations : with a history of the stage, a life of the poet, and an introduction to each play,' also known as the Perkins folio. Collier claimed to have discovered extensive new manuscript emendations to Shakespeare's folio of 1632 in a 17th-century hand, which he published in 'Notes and emendations to the text of Shakespeare's plays.' After examining the manuscript, scholars at the British Museum proclaimed it to be a 19th-century forgery.
