Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives of Coriolanus, Caesar, Brutus, and Antonius: In North's Translation
But it is hardly necessary to observe that, in these days of fondness for Shakespeare's plays and for Shakespearian criticism, it is equally a duty and a privilege to take up North's volume once more, to select from it the most useful biographies, and to print these in a cheap, accessible, and convenient form: for it cannot be denied that the old folio editions are exceedingly cumbrous and unwieldy, containing, as they do, from 1100 to 1250 pages of large-sized paper.
