THE LANSDOWNE SHAKESPEARE. This beautiful One-volume Edition of the Englishman's household book, perfectly unique in the annals of printing, and dedicated, by express permission, to the Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdowne, is now ready.
It has been produced, regardless of cost, in order that it may take a permanent position as a gentleman's hand-book abroad and a drawing-room bijou at home. Its characteristics will be found in uniting with its portability a clearness and facility in reading hitherto unattained in any edition, the text being from the latest and best Authorities; and, for the first time in any edition of Shakespeare, the names of the characters are placed in the centre of the page, unabridged, on the plan adopted in the plays of Molière, Racine, Corneille, Goethe, and Schiller; and which arrangement has been still further greatly improved by printing them, and also the whole of the Stage Directions, in red ink, the text being in black; thus rendering the pages of Shakespeare as pleasant and easy to read as a Novel by Scott, and for facility of reference unequalled.
To Printers this volume will appear extraordinary for its cheapness and the great care required in its production, nearly 1,200 pages, of a minute character, being printed in different coloured inks.
A magnificent Portrait has been engraved for this Edition, by H. ROBINSON, in Line, after Droeshout's Engraving to the first folio, and of which a few impressions have been taken on large paper separately. These may be had Proofs, 5s.; Prints, 3s. each.
