New York:
D. APPLETON AND COMPANY,
1, 3, AND 5 BOND STREET.
This edition is being printed with new type, cast expressly for the work, on laid linen paper, and in a form and style which give it peculiar elegance. The text is mainly that of DELIUS, the chief difference consisting in a more sparing use of punctuation than that employed by the well-known German editor. Wherever a variant reading is adopted, some good and recognized SHAKSPEREAN critic has been followed. In no case is a new rendering of the text proposed; nor has it been thought necessary to distract the reader's attention by notes or comments.
"There is, perhaps no edition in which the works of Shakspere can be read in such luxury of type, and quiet distinction of form, as this."—Pall Mall Gazette.

Carefully revised and annotated by
Alfred Ayres,
Author of "The Orthoëpist," "The Verbalist," etc.
