THE ENGLISH OF SHAKESPEARE, Illustrated
in a Pathological Commentary on his ill.,

lessor of History and English Literature

limo.
This is one of that class of books which
Messrs. Powell, Winston, Hart, Cooke, and
other teachers have been looking fora
thorough, on many points, an exhaustive,
discussion of English speech in its forms
and growth, from Shakespeare as stand
point. Whether the book is adapted to use
in schools for girls, is question which may
be mooted by those who seem to think that
brains and thoughts have sex, and should be
dressed by tailors and milliners accordingly.
Why cook-shops accordingly, should not be
established, has never yet been explained.
So long as brain-wear is repaired by the
same sc-t of food for both sexes, it seems
possible that the same sort of studies might
be pursued by both. No matter how these
questions may be settled, this book will be a
great help in teaching the English language,
not only as textbook on this play, but as
furnishing model for the treatment of
other plays, and other authors.
wThe ProlegOmena, occupying the first ff:
s-seyen pages of the work, discusses bIit-
y, Shakspeare's Personal History,-SRsSs-
peare's WOrks,-sources for the text o. his
Plays,-his Editors and Commentators
