It has been produced, regardless of cost, in order that it may
take a permanent position as a gentleman's hand-book abroad and a
drawing-room bijou at home. Its characteristics will be found in
uniting with its portability a clearness and facility in reading
hitherto unattained in any edition, the text being from the latest
and best Authorities; and, for the first time in any edition of
Shakespeare, the names of the characters are placed in the centre
of the page, unabridged, on the plan adopted in the plays of
Molière, Racine, Corneille, Goethe, and Schiller; and which
arrangement has been still further greatly improved by printing
them, and also the whole of the Stage Directions, in red ink, the
text being in black; thus rendering the pages of Shakespeare as
pleasant and easy to read as a Novel by Scott, and for facility of
reference unequalled.
To Printers this volume will appear extraordinary for its
cheapness and the great care required in its production, nearly
1,200 pages, of a minute character, being printed in different
coloured inks.
A magnificent Portrait has been engraved for this Edition, by H.
ROBINSON, in Line, after Droeshout's Engraving to the first folio,
and of which a few impressions have been taken on large paper
separately. These may be had Proofs, 5_s._; Prints, 3_s._ each.
