PROSPECTUS.

IUO. 1.s
The PIcToRIAL and ILLUSTRATED editions of SHAKS-
PEARE, lately published in L ngland, are amongst the
most beautiful specimens ofthe recent and remarkable
of the art Of wood engraving, which by
combining great excellence ofexecuhon with economy
of price, has given an unprecedented diffusion to the
most useful as well as the most exquisite productions OF
the arts ofDesign.
The designs of KENNY MEADOWS for the illustrations
OF Tyas' edition Of Shakespeare express the character Of
the several personages, and the spirit of the scene, with
wonderful truth and power: whilst the wood engraving
of Knights Pictorial edition combine with the highest
merits ofartand taste such a5learned and minute accus
racy as to scenery, costume, architecture and antiquity
as to make them a perpetual and most instructive, COM
mentary upon the Poets text. 1t is now proposed to
embody in an .4mericaR edition, the admirable illustra
ton of both these editions, engraved with equal excel
lence of mechanical execution, to add to these, other en-
cravings from emiuent artists, as Reynolds, Luseli, s.
Newton, &c, and to accompany them with a beauti-
fully printed and correct text.
But the publisher, anxious that his country should
pay some part of the homage due from her to the great
lest Poets, as to enc who belongs not solely to England
but to all
--who speak the tongue
That Shakespeare spake,
could NOT content himselfwith a mere republication OF
compilations. lie has therefore prevailed upon r.. w,
WEIR, whose reputation as an Artist is already identi-
fed with his country's history, to contribute a series or
original designs, together with such advice and assis-'
lance in other details ofart as his taste may suggest for
the illustration and establishment Of this publication.
