On July 1st will be published, Part I., price 4s.,
To be completed in Four Monthly Parts, to form one Handsome
Volume, crown 8vo.
This beautiful and unique edition of Shakspeare will be produced
under the immediate and auspicious encouragement of the Most
Noble the Marquis of Lansdowne.
It is anticipated that its triumph as a Specimen of the Art of
Printing will only be exceeded by the facility and clearness
which the new arrangement of the text will afford in reading the
works of "the mightiest of intellectual painters." Its
portability will render it as available for travelling, as its
beauty will render it an ornament to the drawing-room.
Every care has been taken to render the text the most perfect yet
produced. The various folios and older editions, together with
the modern ones, of Johnson, Stevens, Malone, Boswell, Knight,
and Collier (also Dyce's Remarks on the two latter), have been
carefully compared and numerous errors corrected.
The Portrait, after Droeshout, will be engraved by H. ROBINSON in
his first style.
London: WILLIAM WHITE, Pall Mall; and to be obtained of all
Booksellers.
