" Mr. Meadows has shown great felicity in seizing on
the bearing and purport of Shakspere with reference to
bis own pictorial art. The richness of humour and just-
ness of conception cannot be commended too highly. We
recommend this edition of Shakspere, as suited to those
who can appreciate sports of fancy and exuberance of
humour; and we advise a perusal of Barry Cornwall's
Essay, for his fine estimate
of a dramatist."—Times.
