The editing has been done from the quarto or folio texts, depending on which is considered more authoritative, and the ideal has been to reproduce the chosen texts with as few alterations as possible. In order to help the reader and student as much as possible, the quotations have been arranged on the relevant pages, providing an easily accessible and indispensable source of information.(back cover)
