Printed by Bradbury, Evans, & Co.,

Whitefriars.

HE present Edition is intended,

in respect to its appearance and size- —a clear beautiful type, and a page free from Notes—to form a handy readable series of Volumes, equally adapted for the Pocket, the Knapsack, and the Railway

The Text has been arranged from a close comparison of the most trustworthy editions, such as those of Mr. Collier, Mr. Dyce, Mr. Charles Knight, Mr. Staunton, and the Cambridge Editors—not omitting the Folio of 1623,-with the primary object of obtaining a reading as nearly as possible in accordance with what Shakspeare actually wrote.
