literature, to become subscribers to_ "NOTES AND QUERIES," _has already

THE LANSDOWNE SHAKSPEARE.

To be completed in Four Monthly Parts, to form one Handsome
Volume, crown 8vo.
This beautiful and unique edition of Shakspeare will be produced
under the immediate and auspicious encouragement of the Most Noble
the Marquis of Lansdowne.
It is anticipated that its triumph as a Specimen of the Art of
Printing will only be exceeded by the facility and clearness which
the new arrangement of the text will afford in reading the works
of "the mightiest of intellectual painters." Its portability will
render it as available for travelling, as its beauty will render
it an ornament to the drawing-room.
