Sida 7 - William Shakespear's Comedies, Histories, And Tragedies. Published according to the true Original Copies. Unto which is added, Seven Plays, Never before Printed in Folio: Viz.
Sida 78 - He understood but half his undertaking. The duty of a collator is, indeed, dull, yet, like other tedious tasks, is very necessary ; but an emendatory critick would ill discharge his duty, without qualities very different from dulness.
Sida 81 - I hope will hereafter be said of me, that not one has left Shakespeare without improvement, nor is there one to whom I have not been indebted for assistance and information. Whatever I have taken from them, it was my intention to refer to its original author, and it is certain, that what I have not given to another, I believed when I wrote it to be my own.

Sida 9 - The Tempest; The Two Gentlemen of Verona ; The Merry Wives of Windsor ; Measure for Measure ; The Comedy of Errors.
Sida 62 - ... it would be hard to judge him by a law he knew nothing of.
Sida 122 - From his cradle, He was a scholar, and a ripe, and good one; Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading : Lofty, and sour, to them that lov'd him not; But, to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.
Sida 78 - ... however what is now to be known, and therefore deserves to pass through all succeeding publications. The nation had been for many years content enough with Mr. Rowe's performance, when Mr. Pope made them acquainted with the true state of Shakespeare 's text, shewed that it was extremely corrupt, and gave reason to hope that there were means of reforming it.
