Remarks on Mr. J. P: Collier's and Mr. C. Knight's Editions of Shakespeare (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Remarks on Mr. J. P: Collier's and Mr. C. Knight's Editions of Shakespeare

Had I committed to paper all the remarks which occurred to me during a careful perusal of Mr. Col lier's and Mr. Knight's editions of Shakespeare, they would have far exceeded the limits of a single volume, - for the passages both of the text and notes, to which I found weighty objections, were, like the afflic tions of Dicaeopolis, dapaazomoyégyaga: even those remarks now printed form only a part of what I had actually written down; but the Publisher very reasonably disliking a bulky book, it became necessary to make the present selection, and consequently to weaken the force of my protest against those two editions.
