THE CAMBRIDGE EDITION OF SHAKESPEARE.

To be completed in Eight Volumes, price 10s. 6d. each, published at intervals of Four Months.

On March 25, 1863, will appear Volume I. of

THE WORKS OF

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Edited by WILLIAM GEORGE CLARK, M.A.,

Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, and Public Orator in the University of Cambridge ;

AND

JOHN GLOVER, M.A.,

Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge.

IN announcing the First Volume of this Edition of Shakespeare's Works, the Publishers desire to call attention to certain features which will distinguish it from previous Editions :

1. A Text based on a thorough collation of the four Folios, and of all the Quarto editions of the separate Plays, and of subsequent editions and commentaries.

2. All the results of this collation will be given in Notes at the foot of the page, and to these will be added conjectural emendations collected and suggested by the editors, and furnished to them by their correspondents. The reader will thus have in a compact form a complete view of the critical materials out of which the text of Shakespeare is formed.

3. In the cases where a Quarto edition exists, differing from the received text to such a degree that the variations cannot be shown in Notes, the text of the Quarto will be printed literatim in a smaller type after the received text.

4. The lines of each Scene will be numbered separately.

5. At the end of each Play will be added a few critical notes upon such passages as require

discussion.

6. The Poems, edited on a similar plan, will follow the Dramatic Works.

The Work will be handsomely printed in demy 8vo. at the Cambridge University Press, and it will be the aim of the Publishers to make this edition distinguished for its typographical beauty.

THIS Volume, which, it is hoped, will to a great extent serve as a commentary to Shakespeare, is adapted specially to the CAMBRIDGE EDITION, but may be used for any other.

It will comprise explanations of the Archaic Words and usages of Words, as well as of obscure allusions and constructions.

It is hoped that this Volume will be ready for publication with the last volume of the Works,

MACMILLAN & CO. will be happy to supply the Trade with Prospectus, Specimens, and Circulars, with Cards for Subscribers' names.
