Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Received d104 of Shakespeare's Dramatic Writings and Its Improvement
The Notes on Shakespeare which compose the present Volume were begun as a diversion from abstruser studies; but th\'e Author soon found that to do anything effectual in this way required nearly as much diligent research and patient thought as to discuss the Principles of Value, the Metaphysics of Vision, or the Theory of Reasoning. The attractiveness of the employ ment, nevertheless, drew him on, till his memo randa' had, in the progress of years, accumulated to a considerable bulk, from which he now offers a selection to the Public. Should it turn out that he has succeeded in throwing light on any portion of the text of our great dramatist, it will be no small addition to the pleasure he has already enjoyed in making the attempt.
