Most students would have been glad to see this volume larger, but all will recognize the excellent judgment with which the selections have been made and the fidelity and art of the translations. Beyond all question, the work furnishes important facilities for the study of this great poem."-F. A. MARCH: Nation, xxv. 272.

The present volumes abound in special difficulties of their own, not the least of which spring from the extraordinary number and extent of the discussions upon so many points connected with the play. A glance at the bibliography of 'Hamlet,' printed at the end of the second volume, would strike the nervelessness of despair into any editor not fortified by the intensest love of the author and of the work. Mr. Furness is to be congratulated on the completion of the most difficult, the most important, and the most interesting of all the volumes of his series." Spectator, li. 249.

...

4. Vol. v., King Lear, 1880.

"Mr. Furness gives us the substance of a hundred volumes in one. It contains a critical text, with all the various readings and interpretations and explanatory notes from the beginning to the present time, with the criticisms and comments of all kinds, lexical, grammatical, æsthetical, and the rest. Mr. Furness works with more ease and expresses his own opinions more freely than in his former volumes, and this is a gain. In an appendix there are discussions of the date of composition, the sources of the plot, the actors, the costume; extended passages of Engfish, German, and French criticism; a good bibliography, and an index. . . . There is no book to be compared with it; it is indispensable to every student of Shakspere."Nation, xxxi, 327.

"Slowly but surely the great task undertaken by America of providing an edition of Shakspeare authoritative as regards text and exhaustive in respect of comment advances.... It is pleasant to have in one volume the utterances of men like Coleridge, Johnson, Lamb, and other critics and commentators upon Lear, together with a full record of the views that have been taken by actors like Kean or Devrient."-Ath., No. 2751.

"This edition of King Lear' strikes us as, for all practical purposes, perfect... The river of text flows between broad meadows and park-lands of annotation. A series of appendices swells out the volume to portly, though by no means unwieldy, dimensions. Yet we have hardly met with a superfluous or irrelevant sentence. ... Not only is the text as printed the result of exhaustive critical research, not only is every plausible emendation, every pertinent comment, inserted in the foot-notes, but we have separate essays on the date of composition, the source of the plot, the duration of the action, the costumes of the characters, and so on. We are told what mad-doctors have thought of the insanity of Lear, and how celebrated actors have personated him on the stage. An exceedingly interesting and useful selection is given of opinions by English, American, and German critics; a list of the editions collated, and another of the books that have been written on the play, present a bird's-eye view of the literature of the subject; and the whole is wound up with what no such volume should be without, an index. All this might have been done with a mere result of ponderousness,-an imposing and appalling display of such reading as is never read.' But Dr. Furness's hand is light, and strong common sense is his effectual safeguard from pedantry."-Spectator, liii. 1069.

5. Vol. vi., Othello, 1886. (In this volume and the following the text is that of the first folio.)

"Mr. Furness's own opinions are always valuable. In the majority of cases he accepts the simplest reading. Now and then, dazzled as all appear to be who meet too earnestly and too long the rays of Shakspeare, he undergoes some apparent hallucination. As a rule, however, he is the surest as well as the most indefatigable of commentators and editors. The position of his work is already monumental."-Ath., No. 3069.

6. Vol. vii., The Merchant of Venice, 1888. "The text of the first folio, pure and simple, with all its errors and difficulties, is accepted, and the various readings of the four folios and the four quartos, with those of subsequent editions, are given at the foot. This course is the most sensible that can be adopted. . . . In the appendix, which occupies nearly half the volume, are given the materials bearing upon the date and origin of the plot, comments on the duration of the action, critical opinions, and much other matter of interest. Like the previous volumes, this latest addition to the slowly-augmenting series is a model of scholarship and sanity, the latter a rarer gift in the case of Shakspearian editors than the former."-Ath., No. 3185.

7. Vol. viii., As You Like It, 1890. "In what is called The Variorum Edition of Shakespeare,' America has the honour of having produced the very best and most complete edition, so far as it has gone, of our great national poet. For text, illustration, (happily not pictorial,) commentary, and criticism, it leaves nothing to be desired. The editor combines with the patience and accuracy of the textual scholar an industry which has overlooked nothing of value that has been written about Shakespeare by the best German and French as well as English commentators and critics; and, what is of no less moment, he possesses in himself a rare delicacy of literary appreciation and breadth of judgment, disciplined by familiarity with all that is best in the literature of an

tiquity as well as of modern times, which he brings to bear on his notes with great effect. . . . It will say little for the intelligence of any one who chooses to profit by the labours of Mr. Furness over this play, if he does not rise from his book with a quickened appreciation of the dramatist's genius, and an intimate knowledge of the varied characters by which the action of the play is carried on."-Blackwood's Magazine, September, 1890.

"In this little book there is much to recall the best features of Dr. Furness's early writings; and though, of course, we do not in the least concur in Dr. Furness's peculiar theology, or no-theology, (which is, perhaps, what he would prefer to have attributed to him,) no one can read even this little volume without feeling that he gains a fresher insight into the scenes with which Dr. Furness is dealing."
