LITERATURE.

" The" Shakspere Testimonial.

Knight's Pictorial bhakspere. Part I. Routledge
and Company.

The Messrs. Routledge, of the Broadway, Lud-
gate-hill, have hit upon one brilliant notion, at
any rate (in the midst of all the confusions
now unhappily fast multiplying about us) as to
the best means of celebrating here, in London, the
tercentenary anniversary of the Birth of William
Shakspere: that memorable event whichltook place
on the 231 of April, 1564, in the front room of the
first fhorOf the little old house,still standing, in Hen-
ley-street, in the pretty market town of Stratford-
upon-Avon,in teat most central snire in all England,
the beautiful county of Warwick. Oae brilliant
idea, at least, has very opportunely been hit upon,
we say, by tne Messrs. R tuttedge, in .he wty of
celebrating befittingly, as it ought to be celebrated,
the recurrence of the ceremony cf that glorious
event in this year of gram 1864, the year bringing
round, in its regard, the date of its tercentenary !
These popular publishers are, be it then understood,
issuing anew now, betimes, before the corning round
for the three hundredth time of that auspicious
anniversary, are issuing anew now, betimes, those
wonderful works of Stie.ksp: re's which have
alone rendered the date of his birth a matter
of so much importance. In various forms
be it added, these marvellous works are
now being published by the Messrs. Routledge,
for the 'advantage of those thinking men who
would, really and in a rational manner, honour
Shakspere's Tercentenary Anniversary. And to
the very best of all these rival editions now issuing
simultaneously from the Messrs. Reutledge's estab-
lishment, we would here offer our most earnest
greeting upon the occasion of its appearance, or
rather, it should be said more accurately, upon
the occasion of the commencement of its ap-
pearance. Charles Knight's Pictorial Edition of
the Works of William Shakspere !—that in every
respect being, to our mike the Edition of the
world's greatest poet, the Popular Edition par ex-
cellence. It was so,recognised, as about the best of
all the popular editions of the poet, at the period of
its original publication. But it so appears now, as
it certainly has never appeared before—beautified
that is, and improved in various ways, quite conspi-
cuously. For one thing, the work is printed now,
as it was not printed formerly, upon delicately
toned or tinted paper. The issue is advisedly
announced as "New and Revised." It appears
again in a periodical form, so as to place it
within reach of a very large number of pur-
chasers. It will be adorned—as it was of old—
with upwards of twelve hundred illustrations : and
these, no mere fanciful illustrations, but valuable
archaeological illustrations, portraits of historical
characters, views of localities, representations of
armour and costumes, interiors and exteriors of
the various structures referred to—limnings visibly
reminding us of forgotten manners and customs,
and hence of essential service, in the way
of " illustration." Part I. of this re-
issue of Knight's Pictorial Shakspere has been
published with the commencement of this month
of April, 1864—the month of the Tercentenary
Aniversary. Thirty two half crown monthly
parts, altogether, will complete the pertodie;.l
publication. Thee wo halt-crown monthly
parts, binding up then (when completed) into Eight
Handsome Royal Octavo Volumes, including within
them all the Doubtful Plays, all the Poems and the
Sonnets, and, with these, Charles Knight's exhaus-
tive memoir of the Poet-Actor-Dramatist, London
Manager and Country Squire, the celebrated me•
moie, namely, entitled " Shakspere, a Biography."
A happier notion than that of adventuring upon
this most timely reissue of Knight's noble Pictorial
Edition of the writings of Shakspere, has not yet
been thought of in the way of a fitting Celebration
of the approaching Tercentenary. It is a memo-
rial beyond all the banquets that could be ar-
ranged, beyond all the bronze or marble that
could be built up into the form of an archi-
tectural and sculptural monument—say even
though it were a memorial of this kind just
twice as beautiful as the lovely Scott Monument
in the City of Edinburgh. And the Messrs. Rout-
ledge's notion as to the issue, in a new and revised
form, of this great Popular Edition of the Works
of Shakspere, is all this, to our thinking—that is, as
a timely memorial begun to be raised upon the eve
of the Tercentenary Anniversary of the Foet'd
