Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 1 of 10 I'r seems to be a kind of respect due to the memory of excellent men, especially of those whom their wit and learning have made famous, to deliver some account of themselves, as well as their works, to posterity. For this reason, how fond do we see some people of discovering any little personal story of the great men of antiquity! Their families, the common accidents of their lives, and even their shape, make, and features, have been the subject of critical inquiries. How triļ¬ing soever this curiosity may seem to be, it is certainly very natural and we are hardly satisfied with an account of any remarkable person, till we have heard him described even to the very clothes he wears. As for what relates to men of letters, the knowledge of an author may sometimes conduce to the better understanding his book and though the works of Mr. Shakespeare may seem to many not to want a comment, yet I fancy some lit tle account of the man himself may not be thought impro per to go along with them.

Excerpt from The Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 1 of 10: Life, Etc;; The Tempest, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Merry Wives of Windsor, Measure for Measure In his first edition, to use his own words, he had too timidly adhered to sundry more than questionable readings of the early copies. His second edition exhibited a text greatly amended in this respect; though he had not less strictly conformed to rules of language and construction drawn from that full and varied knowledge of the phraseology of Shakespeare's age, which made him eminent among English scholars. The result was its acceptance generally as perhaps the nearest approach to a correct text now attainable.
