BY JAMES ORCHARD HALLIWELL, Esq., F. R.S., F. S. A., &c. &c. &c. LONDON : JOHN RUSSELL SMITH, 4, OLD COM P TON STREET, SOHO SQUARE. MDCCCXLI. GREENWICH : PRINTED BY HENRY S. RICHARDSON, STOCKWELL STREET. 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. 738055 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. J. O. H.

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."
