THE
LANSDOWNE SHAKSPEARE.
On July 1st will be published, Part I., price 4s.,
To be completed in Four Monthly Parts, to form one Handsome Volume, crown 8vo.
This beautiful and unique edition of Shakspeare will be produced under the immediate and auspicious encouragement of the Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdowne.
It is anticipated that its triumph as a Specimen of the Art of Printing will only be exceeded by the facility and clearness which the new arrangement of the text will afford in reading the works of "the mightiest of intellectual painters." Its portability will render it as available for travelling, as its beauty will render it an ornament to the drawing-room.
Every care has been taken to render the text the most perfect yet produced. The various folios and older editions, together with the modern ones of Johnson, Steevens, Malone, Boswell, Knight, and Collier (also Dyce's Remarks on the two latter), have been carefully compared and numerous errors corrected.
The Portrait, after Droeshout, will be engraved by H. ROBINSON in his first style.
London: WILLIAM WHITE, Pall Mall; and to be obtained of all Booksellers.
