We have from A. L. Bancroft & Co., San
Francisco, two more of Harper Bros edition
of Shakespeare, IS edited, with notes, by
Professor Rolfe. They are of the English
classic series. The first is the history Of
Pericles, Prince Of Tyre. Professor Rolfe at
first intended to present only portion of the
drama, but after ward concluded to give the
parts usually omitted = these parts in
smaller type. The second volume is the
Two Noble Kinsmen," written by Fletcher
and Shakespeare. 1t is the last of the plays
in the edition, he having omitted "Titus
Adronicus," because he believes Shakespeare
had very little, if anything, to do with it, and
becaus4he believes it has better claim to the
place than any other of the so-called doubt
ful plays.
