passed under The authors own eye, was conse-
quently dsfigured by many errors and absurdites.
1t passed during the last century through success
sion of varying editions, until the revision Of Ste
vens and Malone. whose text, (or rather that Of
Stevens has become the standard from which most
of the English and American editions have been
printed, with various degrees Of accuracy.--But
within the last twenty years, more minute andfa-
miliar acquaintance with old English idoms, hab-
its and modes of thought guided by an intense and
constantly increasing admiration for Shakspeares
genus, has led to the strong conviction that very
many of the numerous though slight deviaions
from the ancient text appearing in modern editions,
are useless erroneous interpretations, sometimes
weakening the sense and often substituting an ar
bitrary monotonous merical regularity, 10 the Po-
cts own native melody Accordingly. very many
of these enlendatons have been rejected by the last
and best English editors, especially Mr.. Knight and
Mr. Collier, and the readings of the old folios and
quartos have been restored, unless where some er-
ror of the press or manuscript was undeniaby man
ilest. Yet there are many such passages confcs-
sedly corrupt, requiring conjectural emendations;
there are also difference of reading between the
several old Impressions afordng grounds for some
diversity Of text and warm controversy, between
the more recent editors.
Upon these, the American editor thinks it due TO
the character of this edition, to decide himself.
without implicitly following the text of any one
modern edition. As the industry and learning OF
prer editors have furnished the collation. ofvarious
readings, and the authorities upon which they may
be supported, the task is no longer that ofaborious
investigation, but, as it were, of judicial decision,
enlightened by contending argument.
As many of these variations are of nearly equal
probability, and as some ofthem are doubtless the
authors own alterations at different periods, all the
more important readings will be presented to the
reader in the notes, for his selection. Those notes
will also contain so much OF commentary as may be
useful to explain antquated words and phrases OBJ
scurey expressed passages and illusions to obsolete
opinions, or the habits or history of the times the
whole in as condensed form as practicable. But
any commentary upon Shakespeare, however brief.
would be imperfect il it did not present some view
of the higher criticism employed, not the inter-
probation of his language, but upon his thoughts,
his character, his poetry, passions, philosophy. The
only difficulty here arises from the abundance, the
the magnificent variety ofthe materials contributed
during the last half century, by the most brilliant
minds of Europe. Still it's believed tha this duty
can be satisfactorily performed, without swelling
the edition to an inconvenient bulk

Where cannon-thunder pealed-
Twas Saxon heart that dared the fight
Twas blood of yours that gave US might
Upon Jacinto's field

What freemen could and ought to do,

And what by valor first we gained,
And have for eight years well maintained,
Is ours by every right.
They call us poor.-'tis false-the sun
A fairer land ne'er shone upon,
