An 18th-century forgery by unknown editor and printer, masquerading as another of the undated quartos of "Julius Caesar" printed by Henry Hills, Jr., ca. 1695-1700. Based on the editions prepared by Nicholas Rowe in 1710? or 1714, probably the latter. See John W. Velz, "'Pirate Hills' and the quartos of Julius Caesar," Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, v. 63 (1969) 177-193.
