SMIRKE'S SHAKESPEARE,
In thr cour,c ut Publicmiun,

ILLUSTRATIONS of SHAIi ESPEARE,
from Pictures Painted expressly for this WORK, by
ROBERT SNIIRKE, Esq. ILA. and, Engraved in the finest
style by the most eminent Historical. Engravers.
A celebrated German critic has said, that the faMe of
Sbakspeare, " for centuries to come, will continue to-gather
strength, like an Alpine avalanche, at every period of its de-
scent." Certain it is, that any work connected with Shah-
speare's name, and which has fur its.object.the illustration of
his inimitable productions, may confidently rely on finding
favour with the world. His tame is the cause of fame
in others. Commentators innumerable have been permit-
ted to inscribe their otherwise perishable names on the
eternal rock of his genius ; and even Playeri have for
yearsacquired opulence and popularity by-happy portraitures
of his living characters. In announcing, therefore, a series
of engravings, intended as embellislnnenis forany edition of
Shalispeares Plays, it is unnecessary to offer an argument to
vindicate, or an apology to excuse, the undertaking.
The spirit of poetry, which hanists every scene of the Plays
of Shakspeare, beckons to her sister art -to•wander with her,
and thus " wake society the tweeter welcome:" and it will
now, it is hoped, he seen that she dues not call in vain. In
the whole range of the drama, there ace no voit'ks• in which
characters so striking and various, or situations so romantic
and delightful, present themselves, to invite the illustration,
and inspire the emulation, of painting.
The editions of our Poet's plays have for the most part been
published without embellishments, ,or encumbered with en-
gravings so. indifferent, as to make-their possessors etusider
them " when unadoined, adorned 'the-61°st." It is chiefly
to supply such editions that the. Proprietors of, the present
Work have undertaken it. Each Play will fnroish subjects
for five elegant Engravings, in addition tots Vignette ; the
aggregate number, therefore, of the plates will be Two Hun-
dred and Twenty-two.
The name of the Artist from whose hand the Paintings fur
this Work are to proceed, way Cully justify, and will doubt-
less not deceive, the most sanguine expectations. The Ga
nius of Smirke has successfully displayed its power in his Il-
lustrations to Gil Bias, the Arabian Nights' Entertainments,
and the late Edition of Dun Quixote ; and the varied
o scenei
of passion and humour, in the Plays of Shalcspearevill afford
a still more ample scope for the 'extraordinary skill and
beauty of his pencil.
The Proprietors, ,refraining from the usual promises and
flatteries of a prospectus, content themselves with referring
the public to the Numbers already published of this Work, as
fair specimen of the care and ability with which the whole
will regularly be produced.
