"It is not our purpose to remove obscurities by additions or omissions, and therefore we leave the passage as in the original, excepting a slight alteration in the punctuation. We believe it may be read thus, without much difficulty. '_Then no more remains_ (to say on government) _But that_, (your science) _to your sufficiency_, (joined to your authority) _as your worth_ (as well as your virtue) _is able_ (equal to the duty), _and let them work_ (call them into action).'" I cannot say that this exposition (paraphrastic as it is) is clear to me; and I feel confident that our great poet never wrote the words "But that," following as they do "Exceeds in that." What does "But that" refer to? It cannot refer to "science," as Mr. Knight imagines. The remedy lies in a very trifling correction of the press. In the MS. from which the play was printed, the words "But thrto" were thus written, and the compositor mistook "thr" for "tht;" there is no comma after _that_ in the old copies. Replace "thereto" and the passage is perfectly clear as to sense. "Then no more remains But _thereto_ your sufficiency, as your worth is able, And let them work." It may be necessary to show that the word I propose would be used by the poet just in the sense required here. The following passage from the _Winter's Tale_, Act I. Sc. 2., will, I think, place it beyond doubt: "Camillo, As you are certainly a gentleman, _thereto_ Clerk-like experienc'd, which no less adorns Our gentry, than our parents' noble names, In whose success we are gentle," &c. I take the sense of the whole passage thus: "Since I must acknowledge that you are better skilled in the nature of _government_ than I am, it would be idle in me to lecture you on the subject. Then nothing more is wanting but _thereto_ your sufficient authority (_i.e._ to govern), as you have the ability, and let them (your skill and authority) come into operation." _Sufficiency_, as Warburton long ago observed, is _authority_, but may possibly be here used in the Latin sense of _substitution_. Escalus is to be Vice-gerent. The very slight change necessary, and the great probability of the occurrence of the error, strongly recommend this simple emendation. Daily experience is manifesting how large a portion of the difficult passages are errors of the printer of the first folio, the two happy corrections lately given in _The Athenæum_, for instance: who can doubt that in _Coriolanus_, Act III. Sc. 1., "Bosome-multi_p_lied" should be "Bissom-multitude:" or that, in _All's Well that Ends Well_, Act V. Sc. 3., "infuite comming" should be "infinite cunning?" A glance at the passages as they stand in the old print of the first folio would convince the most sceptical. A list of mere printer's errors in that book would be not a little astounding. S. W.
