Excerpt from Hamlet: With Introduction, Notes, and Questions for Review; Adapted From Marshall and Woods's "Oxford and Edition"

This series of Shakespeare's plays, which includes The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet, is based mainly on the Oxford and Cambridge editions of Spils bury, and Marshall and Wood:-. The present Editors have found it expedient to eliminate certain passages in the text, as well as to make some changes of matter and form in the editorial work, deemed necessary for American schools. The Introduction con tains a Biographical Sketch of Shakespeare, a short account of. The History of the Drama, brief references to the Sources of the Play, to the Characters, to Versification, to the Grammar of Shakespeare, etc. The annotated words are printed in italic type and the notes and word equivalents are given'in the margin in juxtaposition with the text for the convenience of the student. The Glossary and many of the Notes have been rewritten, con densed, or amplified, as the case required, and the Classical and biblical'allusions have been included in the Notes and Glossary. An abstract of the play has been supplied in Hamlet and in The M erchafnt of Venice. Some unimportant and apocryphal matter has been omitted. The section on Shakespearean Grammar will be found convenient for those who may have difficulty in classi fying many Shakespearean expressions, and the Questions for Review will be of advantage to both teacher and pupil, by saving time for the one, and by assigning specific work to the other.
