CHAMBERS, whose excellence as a writer is matched by his brilliant reputation as a student of dramatic literature, has prepared the text of each volume, adding such brief foot-notes as are needed to explain words and phrases that have dropped out of current use since Shakespeare's day. He contributes to each volume a short appreciation, embodying the latest views of Shakespearean scholarship and criticism in a manner that will prove interesting and suggestive to the general reader. The volumes are printed with the greatest care from a beautiful Caslon type, and present three distinctive features:-(1) The format, chosen after much consideration, is novel, and has been generally recognized as graceful as well as convenient. (2) Red ink is employed for the names of the characters throughout the plays. (3) These names are printed in full, not abbreviated as is usually the case. Thus the reader is able easily to distinguish between the speakers, and cannot be displeased by finding the handsome Bassanio disguised as Bass., or dainty Ariel vulgarized as Ari. The volumes are issued in two forms, cloth bound and leather bound respectively. The decorations of the cover, as well as the title-page, end-papers, and other ornamentation, including a series of initial letters, have been specially designed for this edition by Mr. Talwin Morris. In all material respects this edition is intended to be a model of modern book production.

HERFORD, M.A. “His own essay, on 'The Tale in Verse ', is full of knowledge and sensitive appreciation: compressed and allusive as much of it is, there is no reference in it that has not been considered and tested by the author; though it takes a wide range in its survey, nothing is hurried." bookman. English Pastorals. Edited by EDMUND K. CHAMBERS, M.A. ““The idea of such a series has niuch to recommend it, and it is well carried out in this comely and attractive volume.
