ustration of Shakespeare in fifty monthly parts of
two plates each with explanatory letter PRESS on
thick linen paper, "a by 80 inches, the whole
making two splendid folio volumes. Price 50
number, or 500 for the SET The unintiated
will think this n tremendous price for two vol
umes but the English edition of the mere en-
cravings, without letter press, from the same
plates, brought $40 per plate for proof copies,
and So per plate for other copies--that is, $1,000
for the proof and $500 for the other copies The
original plates are 10 the hands Of the American
publisher, and will be retouched whenever they
are injured, and printed in style fully equnl,
and in some respects SUPERIOR TO the English
edition. About the year 1885, John Boydel OF
London, conceived the project of establishing a
"Shakspeare Gallery" consisting of portraits Of
personages represented IN his plays, (actual por-
traits also, they Of most OF the historical per-
sonages,) and the most eminent painters OF that
time were employed in executing the design,
and the first engravers in England were for
years employed in transferring the pictures to
copper and stone. The whole time occupied
was twenty years, and the cost of il IS said ex-
ceeded one million pounds sterling. The plates
were laid aside after use in the English edition,
and have now come into possession of DR.. s.
Spooner, Of New York City, who proposes TO
publish the American edition of which we have
spoken. Reddng g. Co., No. 6 State ST., Bos-
ton, are agents for receiving subscriptions; and
if any body in this vicinity chcsses to subscribe,
they can do 50 through Geo. w. Scott Of this
village The temptation is great, but the price
TO US, at least outweghs the temptations though
we believe it is not by any means higher than is
required to warreni the publisher IN proceeding
with mis- stupendous enterprise.
