The work expanded on two articles which White wrote for Putnam’s Monthly Magazine (Oct-Nov 1853), discussing the history of Shakespear editing from the Folios to John Payne Collier and Charles Knight, and offering a statistical breakdown of the Perkins emendations, rejecting the idea that these annotations were fabricated by Collier.

I, pp. 612-620.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_1176198" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
