SHAKSPEARE CORRESPONDENCE.
Zachariah Jackson.—"N. & Q." will not, I am sure, refuse to give his due to Zachariah Jackson, the author of Shakspeare's Genius Justified, by showing to how great an extent the conjectures of Jackson had, by thirty-four years, anticipated the Notes and Emendations. I subjoin a list of the old corrector's emendations, which are also found in Jackson's work:
| Play. | Text. | Emendation. | Page in Collier. | Page in Jackson. |
| Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act II. Sc. 1. | "In telling her mind." | "In telling you her mind." | 18. | 9. |
| Merry Wives of Windsor, Act I. Sc. 3. | "She carves." | "She craves." | 30. | 17. |
| Measure for Measure, Act I. Sc. 3. | "Propagation of a dower." | "Procuration of a dower." | 43. | 39. |
| Ditto Ditto Act III. Sc. 2. | "What say'st thou, trot?" | "What say'st thou, troth?" | 49. | 44. |
| Taming of the Shrew, Act IV. Sc. 4. | "Except they are busied." | "Except while they are busied." | 152. | 127. |
| All's Well that Ends Well, Act III. Sc. 1. | "Happiness and prime." | "Happiness in prime." | 159. | 89. |
| Twelfth Night, Act V. Sc. 1. | "Then cam'st in smiling." | "Thou cam'st in smiling." | 181. | 31. |
| Winter's Tale, Act IV. Sc. 3. | "So attir'd, sworn." | "So attir'd, so worn." | 192. | 142. |
| Henry V., Act V. Sc. 2. | "Untempering effect." | "Untempting effect." | 264. | 229. |
Besides these nine verbatim coincidences, the following four are very approximate.
