FOOTNOTES:
[ [3] The reader should especially beware of a most absurd identification of Shakespeare with the Crispinus of Jonson's Poetaster, recently put forth by Mr. J. Feis in his Shakspere and Montaigne. It is a pity that an essay, of which the first four chapters are so valuable, should be disfigured by the palpable chronological and other blunders in the latter portions of the volume.
