Clarke, Sidney W. Galley Proof of ÒChronicles of the Stage,Ó and a Publishing Contract. London, 1888/ 1920. Including a galley proof of a work on Renaissance drama, ÒChronicles of the Stage (1888), 30 pages, with many of Clarke's annotations; and an agreement between Clarke and George Johnson to publish ÒThe Bibliography of Conjuring,Ó on four quarto pages, signed by both men. Not listed in Edwin Dawes' checklist of writings by Clarke, ÒChronicles of the StageÓ is apparently unpublished but covers many of the same subjects in ÒThe Miracle Play in EnglandÓ (1897).
