 PREFACE. 
 
 This little publication has been undertaken chiefly 
 with a view of supplying the critic and student with 
 the means of ascertaining at once what sources are 
 available on any particular points of inquiry in 
 Shakesperian criticism, and affording the latter a 
 manual of bibliographical information which is in- 
 dispensable to the attainment of any correct know- 
 ledge in that department of literature. 
 
 Something of the same kind was undertaken by 
 Mr. Wilson, and published in 1 827 ; but, besides 
 being very concise in the list of the early editions of 
 the plays, it offers us no correct accounts of the 
 different impressions. Moreover, the scarcity of 
 this last mentioned work, and the rapid progress 
 which this class of literature has made since its 
 publication, are sufficient reasons for the present 
 undertaking.

 The list of Shakesperiana in Lowndes' Biblio- 
 grapher's Manual, has been found of great use, as 
 also the Prolegomena of Boswell's Malone, the Cata- 
 logue of Malone's library, and the second part of 
 Bibliotheca Heberiana. All the copies of the early 
 quartos in the library of the British Museum, have 
 been carefully examined ; but it is to be regretted 
 that our national library should still want many of 
 the most valuable. As an example of the great 
 deficiency of the Museum library in Shakesperiana, 
 it does not appear that a single copy of any edition 
 of so common and popular a work as Dodd's " Beau- 
 ties of Shakespeare," is to be found in the whole 
 collection. 
 
 It may be as well to state that Capell's collection 
 of early English literature, so frequently referred to 
 in the following pages, is preserved in the library of 
 Trinity College, Cambridge.

 SHAKESPEARE'S WORKS IN 1598. 
 
 The following is extracted from a rare little volume en- 
 titled " Palladis Tamia. Wits Treasury, being the second 
 part of Wits Commonwealth. By Francis Meres, Maister 
 of Artes of both Yniuersities," 12mo. London, 1598. This 
 is the most important evidence we possess in the question 
 of the chronological order of Shakespeare's plays, and is 
 frequently referred to by the critics. — 
 
 Fol. 281, 282. 
 
 " As the soule of Eux>horbus was thought to liue in Pythagoras : so the 
 svveete wittie soule of Ouid lines in mellifluous and honytongued Shakespeare, 
 witnes his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece, his sugred Sonnets among his pri- 
 uate friends, &c. 
 
 " As Plautus and Seneca are accounted the best for Comedy and Tragedy 
 among the Latines : so Shakespeare among the English is the most excellent 
 in both kinds for the stage ; for Comedy, witnes his Gentlemen of Verona, his 
 Errors, his Loue labors lost, his Loue labours wonne, his Midsummers night 
 dreame, and his Merchant of Venice : for Tragedy his Richard the 2. Richard 
 the 3. Henry the 4. King John, Titus Andronicus, and his Romeo and Juliet. 
 
 " As Epius Stolo said, that the Muses would speak with Plautus tongue, if 
 they would speak Latin: so 1 say that the Muses would speak wilh Shake- 
 speares fine filed phrase, if they would speake English."
