This cdition of Sbakspearo derives its dis- tinctive title from the English Prince Lcopold, towhom It Is dedicated. It has attracted un- usual attentlon from its ncw arrangement of the writings of tho dramatist, which follow a conjectural chronotogical order supplied by Prof. Delius, of Boun; from ita completcness, united with convenlence of form; from the mul- titude of ustrations—3i00—which are scattered through the text; and, above' all, from the ex- tended Introduction, rich in Bhokspearean fore, which {5 furnished by Mr. F, J. Furaivall, the founder and Dircctor of the New Blinkspesro Soclety at London. In examining these and otherclaims of the work to the publle tavor, it must be ackuowiedged that, if it benot the best yet {ssued for every-day uscs, It is still an edition that the student of Shakspeare would be loath to do without. ‘The most important feature of the edition s that contributed by Mr. Furnivall, By ftself, it 1s well worth the cost of the volume.” Written in a quaint and homely, yot altogether charm- fng style, It minzied vivid fdeal pletures of Blinkspenare, the man and the puet, at dilferent cpochs of hls life, with a critleal analysls of bls works; n close review of the facts, known and surmised, of his private listory; nnd a vost amount of learncd comment on tlie date ot his varjous poems and uln{l, and on the value of many of the studies of Bhakspeare that have been published by emiuent and enthusiustic :lclll:“:l". It {s 8 mine of instruction, and also of olight. Tg rove the case, wo hiave but to cite a singlo ono of its numerous cloquent pussages. 1t iy n common asscrtion thot the man Shokspeare does not appesr In his works; thatonly the poet has there exhiblted thy power and play of bis genfus. Mr, Furnivall vehemently declares the contrary, exclaiming: ' Shaksocare tells mo Le's felt hell: uud, In s Othello, JMacteth, Lear, Corlwunus, Timon, 1 seo the evidence of his hay- fng done so. Ho tells me how ho loved his friend, os with woman's love: and, in his A tonlo—thirice repeated,~his tldena, his Viola, 1 see his own devotued love refeeted.” Ho tells me intruding themselses Into Lis lterary work. | and tales that, without really taking a lasting More than one of his contemporaries, perhaps, | place in lterature, sthil pain” 8 certain perma- remember him entering wn editor's rooin kith a | nience by lingeriag in the infnds of many readers lure hound Alouching at his heels, or coming | Jong after their place of publication and thelr booted and spurred with a shot-pouch and sn ar- | autiurs are forpotten.
