This edition is now completely lost, with the only known copy having burned in a fire at the Free Public Library in Birmingham, England, in January 1879. Greg writes: "The description given ... has been compiled from a reprint of the entertainment included in Kenilworth Illustrated (printed by C. Whittingham, Chiswick, 1821)" [Bibliography, 1:168], and he notes that there is a tracing of the original title page in ULC [Bibliography, 4:1667].

THE TRAGEDY OF JVLIA AGRIPPINA;

Written by THOMAS MAY, Esq;.

Greg writes, Bibliography, 3:1092: "Separate editions of the two plays [553, 554] were printed in 1639, but since the epistle to Sir Kenelm Digby prefixed to Cleopatra is a joint dedication of the two plays, it is clear that these, though otherwise bibliographically distinct, were intended to be issued together as well as separately." DEEP lists each of these plays only as a single-play playbook, not as part of a collection.
