The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 8 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
The kindness of Sir S. Morton Peto has enabled us to consult a copy of
the first Quarto in the library at Chipstead, which, in cases where its
readings differ from those of the copies in the Capell and Devonshire
collections, we have distinguished as Q₁ (Chip.) A Players' Quarto of
1695, for the use of which, as well as for other acts of kindness, we
have to thank Sir Charles Bunbury, is quoted as Q (1695).
In the Addenda we have given some readings which we had not previously
seen from an anonymous tract published in 1752, with the title,
_Miscellaneous Observations on the Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of
Denmark_. The rest are chiefly from books which have been published
since the greater part of our volume was struck off.
